  • Patent number: 8074954
    Abstract: A rail for fastening installations in an aircraft, the rail including a rail base section, a running-surface section that extends in a longitudinal direction with a running surface, and a connection section that connects the running-surface section to the rail base section at the face pointing away from the running surface. The running-surface section laterally on both sides, in each case spaced apart at a predetermined pitch, includes a multitude of projections projecting away from the connection section, each with a top that has substantially the same alignment as the running surface and a bottom that has an alignment that substantially is opposed to the alignment of the running surface. The bottom of the projections forms holding surfaces for holding a fitting. The rail is attached to a floor of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 4994083
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a soft intracameral lens determined for the location in the posterior chamber of eye.The soft intracameral hydrogel lens has its front supporting and centering convex part determined for leaning against iris having in front a rotation symmetrical shape of a sphere, paraboloid or hyperboloid and passing into the broadest circumference by a surface which shape is equal to or approaches a shape of lateral area of cone, while the hinder supporting part of the lens with a spherical, planar, or moderately convex or concave-curved shape for leaning against a hinder capsula or a membrane from vitreous body in a large surface area. The hinder supporting part is broadened and forms on the edge a retaining ring reaching over the front part as much as by 1.5 mm, whereas the central thickness of the lens ranges between 1 to 3.5 mm. The surface of the soft intracameral lens may be formed, at least in part, from a soft hydrogel containing at least 70% of water at 20.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 4955903
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a soft intracameral lens intended for location in the posterior chamber of the eye.The soft intracameral hydrogel lens has a front supporting and centering convex part intended for leaning against the iris having a rotational symmetrical shape of a sphere, paraboloid, or hyperboloid and passing into the broadest circumference by a surface, the shape of this surface being equal to or approaching the shape of the lateral area of a cone, while the hinder, or rear, supporting part of the lens has a spherical, planar, or moderately convex or concave-curved shape and a large surface area for leaning against a hinder capsula or a membrane of the vitreous body. The hinder supporting part is broadened and forms on its edge a retaining ring which reaches over the front part by as much as 1.5 mm, whereas the central thickness of the lens ranges between 1 to 3.5 mm.

  • Patent number: 4448890
    Abstract: Specific common nucleolar antigens are found in a broad range of human malignant tumor specimens and have been isolated, extracted and purified. Antibodies and antisera specific to these nucleolar antigens are harvested from non-human hosts and used for detection of human cancer cells. Disclosed are (1) methods for isolating the nucleolar antigens, obtaining them in substantially purified form, producing the specific antibodies, obtaining them in substantially purified form, and using the antisera and antibodies induced by the nucleolar antigens in diagnostic procedures for detecting human cancer cells, and (2) diagnostic kits comprising specific antibodies and antisera.
