The invention relates to a holding and resting device for medical instruments having essentially cylindrical instrument bodies, in particular endoscopic instruments, with a base body that can be secured for instance to an operating table and an instrument input to be inserted into the base body and in which the instrument body can be secured by clamping. To create a holding and resting device for medical instruments having essentially cylindrical instrument bodies, which is of simple construction and can be activated quickly and safely, it is proposed with the invention that the instrument input includes a ring-shaped tension casing with at least two holder arms as well as a tension nut that works together with the tension casing.

The balloon trepan is used in minimal invasive surgery in order to create or maintain the area required for an operation by dilation of tissue or dissection of layers of tissue. The connection between the balloon and the sleeve of the trepan must be easily and securely produced without enlarging the outer diameter of the balloon trepan. The balloon must be secured against slipping and must be able to resist pressure during inflation. The balloon (11, 12) surrounding the distal end of the trepan (15, 16) is pressed against a peripheral step (66, 95) formed on the sleeve of the trepan (15, 16) by means of a clamping element (18, 102) in order to fix it to the sleeve (15, 16) of the trepan. The clamping element (18, 102) is displaced by rotation of at least one part of the clamping element (18, 102) about a longitudinal axis of the sleeve (15, 16) of the trepan in a longitudinal direction in relation to the said sleeve (15, 16).

Herein is disclosed a method of generating ascorbic acid from yeast. In one embodiment, the yeast is a Zygosaccharomyces spp. or a Kluyveromyces spp. growing in a medium comprising an ascorbic acid precursor. In a second embodiment the yeast is a recombinant yeast growing in a medium comprising an ascorbic acid precursor. Preferably the recombinant yeast is transformed with a coding region encoding an enzyme selected from L-galactose dehydrogenase (LGDH), L-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (AGD), D-arabinose dehydrogenase (ARA), D-arabinono-1,4-lactone oxidase (ALO) or L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase (RGLO). The ascorbic acid precursor is preferably D-glucose, L-galactose, L-galactono-1,4-lactone, or L-gulono-1,4-lactone. In another preferred embodiment the ascorbic acid is accumulated in the medium at levels greater than background. Preferably, the yield of the conversion of the precursor to ascorbic acid is preferably at least about 35%.

The invention is directed to a motor-powered appliance 10 for personal use as, for example, an appliance for oral or dental hygiene, a shaver or the like, with a housing 12 for accommodating the drive means 20 as well as at least one rechargeable energy-storage cell 18. The housing 12 is composed of at least two housing sections 13, 14 sealingly connectible with each other. The appliance 10 has an associated case structure 22 incorporating in particular means 24 for charging the energy-storage cells 18, or in particular means 26 for the storage of attachments for the appliance 10. The case structure 22 includes two abutment means which, in forming an integral part of the case structure 22, provide a tool for severing the housing sections 13, 14.

A scraper-chain conveyor channel section comprises a pair of side walls and a floor plate extending between the side walls and connecting the side walls together. Each of the side walls has upper, lower and intermediate inwardly-extending flanges. The floor plate is connected to the intermediate flanges of the two side walls. Each of the side walls is constituted by an upper profiled bar and a lower profiled bar, each of the profiled bars being a generally U-shaped rolled section. Each of the lower profiled bars has a bottom flange and a top flange parallel to the bottom flange. The top flange of each lower profiled bar forms a support surface for the associated upper profiled bar, and constitutes part of the intermediate flange of the associated side wall. Each of the side walls is provided with a connecting bar for laterally supporting the associated upper profiled bar. Each of the connecting bars is secured to the exterior of the associated lower profiled bar, and projects upwardly beyond the top flange of that lower profiled bar.

The invention relates to a surgical instrument system, which comprises a hollow shaft as well as a shaft-type instrument that can be inserted into the hollow shaft. To create a surgical instrument system that consists of a hollow shaft and of a medical instrument that can be inserted into the hollow shaft and that is both simple in construction and capable of a range of uses, it is proposed according to the invention that at least one cam that reduces the inside diameter of the hollow shaft should be positioned on the interior of the hollow shaft.

Optical fiber-based distributed communications systems that provide and support both RF communication services and digital data services are disclosed herein. The RF communication services and digital data services can be distributed over optical fiber to client devices, such as remote antenna units for example. In certain embodiments, digital data services can be distributed over optical fiber separate from optical fiber distributing RF communication services. In other embodiments, digital data services can be distributed over common optical fiber with RF communication services. For example, digital data services can be distributed over common optical fiber with RF communication services at different wavelengths through wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and/or at different frequencies through frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). Power distributed in the optical fiber-based distributed communications system to provide power to remote antenna units can also be accessed to provide power to digital data service components.
