Abstract: A chiropractic adjusting instrument comprising a housing; a thrust nose piece and an impact head to contact a body; a preload switch plunger; a dampening spring; a solenoid having a core; a preload spring; a recoil spring; an electronic pulse system operatively connected to a power source to provide alternating current for energizing the solenoid to impart impulse energy from the core to the thrust nose piece which is reproducible and independent of the power source; and a trigger system for triggering the electronic pulse system comprising an switch activated by the preload switch plunger. Preferably, the chiropractic adjusting instrument includes one or more of the following: an intelligent universal AC power converter; optimized force-time waveform; pulse mode operation; a sensing device having an sense output and a suite of electromechanical components designed to promote reproducible dynamic force impulses and safe operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to culturing cells which may be used in hair induction. In one aspect of the invention there is provided a method for cultivation of hair inductive cells, comprising the step of culturing the hair inductive cells in a culture medium comprising a medium conditioned by conditioning cells, in which the conditioning cells are derived from non-epidermal tissue.

Abstract: A modular double-sided display panel including multiple slat members. Each slat member has an upper engagement portion and a lower engagement portion. A panel may be constructed from multiple slat members by serially interconnecting generally horizontally disposed slat members in a vertical chain. In particular, the serial interconnection between adjacent slat members occurs by placing the lower engagement portion of a first slat member over the upper engagement portion of an adjacent second slat member in a substantially vertical chain until a suitable number of slats have been thus interconnected. The assembled slat members will define two opposing surfaces, each of which can receive hooks, supports or other display apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for making impressions of edges and profiling the edges using a profiling machine. The apparatus allows the impressionable material used for forming the impression to be held in a fixed position while the impression of the edge is formed, and then allows the impression to be withdrawn in a manner that leaves the impression substantially unchanged and substantially true to the profile of the edge. The apparatus also comprises fittings to make the apparatus compatible with a profiling machine and allows the impression to be positioned in the profiling machine in substantially the same orientation every time an impression is taken.

Abstract: A device for forming a rabbet edge on ceiling tile consisting essentially of two blades held in parallel one in a fixed position and the remaining blade being slidable so that it may extend beyond the fixed blade to produce a deeper cut. The unwanted tile is first severed with the extended blade following which the shorter fixed blade is used to make a perpendicular cut and remove an unwanted longitudinal segment. The blades are replacable to provide fresh cutting edges.
