Abstract: A device attaches a flexible clothing in the form of a clothing strip to a card flat bar of a revolving card flat. The card flat bar has a card flat foot with a clothing take-up surface and a web lying above the card flat foot. At least two clips are provided on the clothing strip. The device includes means to accommodate and hold the card flat bar and the clothing strip. The device furthermore includes press rams, which are guided in a moveable manner transversely to the longitudinal direction of the card flat bar and from both sides parallel to the clothing take-up surface of the card flat bar. By means of the movement of the press rams, an integral formation of the clips on the card flat foot is caused. The press rams have a drive with compression hoses.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for determining whether an individual is at risk of developing, or has, one or more angiogenic disorders. The methods detect the presence and/or amount of one or more genes or gene products in a sample, including a RORA, CRIM1, CXCR4, C5orf26, IGHG3, NALP2, PLA2G4A, IGLJ3, SHQ1, UCHL1, TANC1, PKP2, DNAJC6, C6orf105, NALP1, RGS13, CXCL13, RPS6KA2, MMP7, IL1A, ABCA1, VCAN, KIAA0888, ENPP2, and FAM38B gene or gene product. In addition, the invention provides methods for using one or more of these genes or gene products as a target for preventing or delaying the onset of one or more angiogenic disorders or treating a patient with one or more such disorders. The angiogenic disorder can be, for example, an ocular angiogenic disorder, for example, a disorder associated with choroidal neovascularization, for example, age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: A method is proposed for fixing a clothing strip on a base surface of a flat rod by means of at least one clothing clip which comprises a first terminal section for attachment to the flat rod and a second terminal section for attachment to the clothing strip. The method is characterised in that a central section of the at least one clothing provided between the first and the second terminal section is deformed directly before or after the clothing clip has been placed against the flat rod. A corresponding clothing clip and a corresponding pressing tool are furthermore proposed.

Abstract: A method is proposed for fixing a clothing strip (10) on a base surface of a flat rod (1) by means of at least one clothing clip (20; 120; 120?) which comprises a first terminal section (21; 121; 121?) for attachment to the flat rod (1) and a second terminal section (22; 122; 122?) for attachment to the clothing strip (10). The method is characterised in that a central section (23; 123; 123?) of the at least one clothing clip (20; 120; 120?) provided between the first and the second terminal section (21, 22; 121, 122; 121?, 122?) is deformed directly before or after the clothing clip (20; 120; 120?) has been placed against the flat rod (1). A corresponding clothing clip (20; 120; 120?) and a corresponding pressing tool (30) are furthermore proposed.
