Abstract: An adaptor and a connection device are provided. The adaptor and the connection device fix a tool to an arbor of a hollow spindle machine. The adaptor has an inlet opening at a first part of the adaptor, the inlet opening being connectable to the central passage way of the arbor. The adaptor has an outlet opening at a second part of the adaptor, the second part radially protruding over the first part and being adapted for holding the tool. The adaptor has a connection device for fixing the adaptor to the arbor and a fluid distribution passage way connecting the inlet opening with the outlet opening so that the coolant is supplied to the tool via the outlet opening of the adaptor.

Abstract: An improved grinding arrangement for grinding a required profile in a body is provided. The arrangement includes a body having at least one channel extending into the body and a grinding wheel adapted to grind the required profile in the side of the channel. In the setup the grinding wheel is arranged so that an axis of rotation of the grinding wheel forms an angle greater than 0° with a radial axis of the channel. A method of grinding a required profile in a body is also provided.

Abstract: A method of producing a grinding wheel is provided. An outer profile of an outer surface of the grinding wheel is formed with a rotary dresser element, so that the outer profile corresponds to a dressing profile of the rotary dresser element. An inner profile of an inner surface of the grinding wheel is formed with the rotary dresser element, so that the inner surface corresponds to the dressing profile of the rotary dresser element.

Abstract: A rigid first loop is rigidly mounted to the first end of at least one of a pair of nail clipper mandibles. A rigid second loop is rigidly mounted to the distal end of the nail clipper operating lever. The first and second loops lie in substantially parallel, adjacent planes, when the operating lever is in either its deployed position or its storage position. The loops are nested side-by-side when the operating lever is folded-down into the storage position.

Abstract: A marine seismic surveying method and apparatus are shown. The apparatus includes at least one lead-in which has two or more of the streamers connected to be towed thereby, and which comprises a load-bearing outer sheath to bear the towing forces, an electrical or electro-optical core via which control signals and electrical power are supplied to, and data signals are received from, the steamers being towed by the lead-in, and a connector device series connected in the lead-in, the connector device comprising a body member mechanically coupled between the respective portions of the load-bearing outer sheath of the lead-in on either side thereof, to transmit towing forces therebetween, and a towing attachment for mechanical connection to one of the two or more streamers.

Abstract: Certain cultured plant cell gums, including those produced in suspension culture of plant cells of plants of the family Aizoaceae are described. Plant cell gums of plants of the genus Mesembryanthemum are specifically provided. Also described are the methods of using these cultured plant cell gums in the manufacture of food products, pharmaceuticals and veterinary products, cosmetics and other industrial products, such as paper, adhesive, ink, textiles, paint, ceramics, explosives, cleaning agents or detergents, products for firefighting, agricultural chemicals including pesticides and fungicides, for oil and gas production, and in photography, lithography, and other industries are described. Food, pharmaceutical, veterinary, industrial and cosmetic compositions containing certain cultured plant cell gums are also described. Plant cell gums can be employed as substitutes for plant exudate and extract gums and other known emulsifying, viscosifying and gelling agents.
