摘要:
A suspension arrangement for terminals for electrical resistive elements, which terminals pass vertically through a body and are attached relative to the upper surface of the body, which terminals pass over into the hot zone of the resistive element in the form of a shank element, which extends downwards from the terminals, where one or several of the shanks of the hot zone is or are supported by hooks attached to the lower surface of the body. The suspension arrangement for each one of the terminals includes a first attachment attached relative to the upper surface of the body and a second attachment attached relative to the terminal. A spring arrangement passes between the first and the second attachment, which spring arrangement is arranged such that the second attachment is mobile in the vertical direction relative to the first attachment.

A porous hardenable drainage element (14) is produced from a molding compound (10) of expanded plastics granulate and a bonding agent by virtue of the fact that the molding compound is received in a ladle (30) having a pouring opening (32) closed off by a mold bottom (44), the molding compound is pressurized in the ladle, the element (14) is molded from the molding compound in a mold formed by lowering of the mold bottom (44) down into an opening cross section (42) consistent with a cross section of the pouring opening (32), and the element is separated from the molding compound by mutual lateral displacement of the mold and the ladle (30).
摘要:
A powder inhaler for administering powder by inhalation, comprising: a flow path defined by a plurality of surfaces through which a stream of air is in use drawn on inhalation by a user; and dosing means (18) for providing a dose of powder to the flow path for entrainment in the stream of air; characterized in that the inhaler further comprises dislodging means for dislodging powder accumulated on a surface of the flow path downstream of the dosing means (18).

The present invention provides a cellular vaccine for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of a pathological condition, the vaccine comprising or consisting of a population of CD 4+ T cells modified such that they contain an antigenic component, and/or a nucleic acid molecule encoding an antigenic component thereof, wherein the T cells are (a) activated, or capable of being activated, and (b) apoptotic, or capable or being made apoptotic. The invention further provides an adjuvant composition for use in a method of vaccination, the composition comprising or consisting of a population of T cells, wherein the T cells are (a) activated, or capable of being activated, and (b) apoptotic, or capable or being made apoptotic. In addition, the invention provides a composition having microbicide activity, or capable thereof upon exposure to antigen-presenting cells, the composition comprising or consisting of a population of T cells, wherein the T cells are (a) activated, or capable of being activated, and (b) apoptotic, or capable or being made apoptotic. Also provided by the present invention are methods for making and using the vaccines and compositions described herein.
摘要:
A unit for sterilizing a web (2) of packaging material on a machine (1) for packaging pourable food products, the unit having a bath (7) containing a sterilizing agent, in which the web (2) is fed continuously; a process chamber (8) connected to an outlet (12) of the bath (7), and which houses wringing rollers (18) interacting with the web (2), and a nozzle (22) for directing a stream of air on to the web (2) and removing residual sterilizing agent from the web; an aseptic chamber (25) communicating with the process chamber (8) via an opening (27) for passage of the web (2), and in which the web (2) is folded and sealed longitudinally to form a tube (29) which is filled continuously with the product for packaging; and an air processing circuit (24) for controlling process conditions, and having a conduit (56) for feeding a first stream of sterile air into the aseptic chamber (25), a conduit (54) for feeding a second stream of sterile air to the nozzle (22) and housing a heater (69) for controlling the temperature of the air supplied to the nozzle (22), and a distributor for regulating the two streams of air.
