Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for transporting a waste container. The device comprises a mount for mounting the device to a vehicle, a central support for supporting the waste container, the central support being connected to the mount and being extendable to lift the waste container off the ground, an attachment element for attaching the waste container to the central support, and a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the waste container when the waste container is attached to the central support, wherein the device is configured such that when the device is mounted to the vehicle, a waste container can be lifted and transported by the vehicle in a substantially upright position.

Abstract: A motor support has a slidable carriage that includes a pair of elongated tubes slidably encompassing parallel elongated fixed cylindrical rails on a stationary base bed with bearing sleeves press fitted in the end portions of the glider tubes. The bearing sleeves support the guide tubes on the rails and transfer the motor load on the glider tubes to the rails with a reservoir of a viscous lubricant within the center portions of the glider tubes. A spring commands the strength of the movement of the slidable carriage and is sealed in a spring housing using one or more gusset plates.

Abstract: A surgical knife blade of the type primarily intended for making incisions in the eye, though suitable for incising virtually any spherical surface, is disclosed. The blade is uniquely characterized by its construction to include cutting edge bevels of different transverse dimension on the anterior surface of the blade with respect to the transverse dimension of corresponding bevels on the posterior surface of the blade, such that the blade of this invention will incise a substantially straight, perpendicular cut into the eye or other spherical surface.

Abstract: A photosensitive photographic silver halide colour material comprising at least two dye image-forming units each separated from its neighbouring units by a layer containing a scavenger for oxidised developing agent, each unit comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer and at least one dye image-forming colour coupler, the material comprising a total silver halide coating weight of less than 300 mg/m.sup.2 (as silver) characterised in that at least one image-forming unit contains extra gelatin either in a layer adjacent to the coupler-containing layer or in the coupler-containing layer itself such that the gelatin content of the unit is more than 800 mg/m.sup.2, in order to decrease the band width of the dye formed from said coupler.
