摘要:
This invention relates to novel uses of recombinant clostridial neurotoxins exhibiting decreased duration of effect, in particular uses for the treatment of patients suffering from a limited range of muscle extension, in particular from flexion contracture, in particular flexion contracture of the knee, and more particularly uses for the treatment of such patients having experienced a total knee arthroplasty.

The present invention relates to means and methods for determining neurotoxin activity. Specifically, it relates to a polypeptide having caspase activity comprising a large subunit and a small subunit wherein the caspase further comprises a neurotoxin cleavage site which upon cleavage activates the caspase activity. Also encompassed are polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as vectors or host cells comprising the polynucleotides. The present invention further relates to a method for determining neurotoxin activity in a sample based on the polypeptide of the invention as well as the use of the polypeptide for determining neurotoxin activity in a sample, in general.

Door and frame assemblies are disclosed by the present application. In one exemplary embodiment, the a door is connected to a door frame, such that the door is moveable between an open position and a closed position. Activation of a trigger causes a door frame coupling arrangement to couple the door frame to the door in a closed position to thereby inhibit movement of the door relative to the frame. In another exemplary embodiment, a door is coupled to a door frame by a hinge. The hinge is configured to move the door in translation as the door is rotated from the open position to the closed position. For example, the hinge may move the door downward, toward the sill, when the door is moved from the open position to the closed position.

A plumbing product is made by a dual phase casting process with a zinc-aluminum alloy having between 0.5%-4% or 6%-22% aluminum by weight. The alloy is shredded into chips and heated to liquid state, processed to a dual phase state and then injection molded to form the part. The part can be plated using conventional plating techniques.

An article of manufacture having at least in part the surface appearance of brass includes a ceramic barrier coating applied to a base layer of Cu/Ni/Cr. The ceramic barrier coating includes an initial layer of ZrCn and an additional layer which is a nitrite, carbide or oxide of Zr, Ti, Si, Al or Hf.

摘要:
A process to distinguish plumbing parts, either individually or as combined into a plumbing product, in which one of two types of coatings have been applied to the parts, with the parts being visually indistinguishable by the type of coating. The parts are illuminated with a non-visible light operating at a frequency which will be absorbed by only one type of coating. The parts may be coated with an essentially organic coating or an essentially inorganic coating. Only one of these coatings will absorb the non-visible light and such absorption will be displayed so as to distinguish between parts having the different types of coatings.

A procedure for making zinc particles of a size, shape and composition such that the particles can be subsequently used in a process for manufacturing zinc parts from such particles in either molten or powder form includes the initial step of heating zinc to a temperature at least as high as 720.degree. C. The molten zinc is passed through a screen having small openings, on the order of about 1/4".times.1/4" into a cooling region formed by a movable surface which is at a temperature of on the order of about -200.degree. C. The zinc forms small particles as it passes through the openings in the screen and essentially instantaneously solidifies as it contacts the movable surface. Thereafter, the solidified zinc particles are subjected to a grinding process to reduce their size to a powder having a surface area in the range of 2 mm.sup.2 to 20 mm.sup.2.
