Abstract: A guiding method and apparatus are presented for preventing the generation of lateral curving in a rolled slab produced in a roughing mill train, consisting of an edging mill and a horizontal mill in tandem, for example. The apparatus basically includes a first side guide placed upstream at the entrance to the edging mill, a second side guide placed downstream at the exit of the horizontal mill and a third side guide placed between the edging mill and the horizontal mill. The first side guide at the entrance to the edging mill synchronously closes the separation distance of the guide components upon the entry of the rolled slab into the first side guide, leaving a narrow space between the guide and the rolled slab. The third side guide closes the separation spacing based on slab exit timing representing the instant the tail end of the rolled slab passes through the edging mill. The second side guide assumes a narrow separation distance when the head end of the rolled slab enters therebetween.

Abstract: An applicator for applying a biocompatible adhesive containing human or aal protein as a principal ingredient to a surgical site of living body includes a housing to which a sterile gas is supplied, a sterile-gas supply tube connected to the housing, two adjacent sterile-gas ejecting nozzles for ejecting the sterile gas in the same direction, two adapters to which respective nozzles of syringe barrels are connected, and a pair of solution tubes, each having one end connected to the adapter and the other end protruded outwardly from the sterile gas ejection nozzle through an interior of the housing. Respective solutions supplied from the syringes via the pair of barrel adapters are ejected from the outlets of the solution tubes. The sterile gas is ejected from two sterile-gas ejection nozzles in the same direction. Consequently, the solutions are sprayed and mixed by the sterile gas, and then applied to the surgical site.
