Abstract: A motion controlling hinge for an orthopedic brace is provided. The hinge includes an actuator secured to one arm, and at least one spring member. As the arm with the actuator pivots in a first direction, at a predetermined flexion angle the actuator applies a force to the spring member, causing the spring member to flex. The spring member exerts a force on the actuator tending to bias the actuator away from the spring member, and tending to bias the arm in a second direction opposite the first direction. A movable fulcrum enables adjustment of a force exerted by the spring member on the actuator. A variety of differently sized adapters are securable to the actuator. The size of the adapter determines the flexion angle at which the spring member first exerts force on the actuator.

Abstract: A ringworm vaccine is disclosed comprising antigen isolated from at least one dermatophyte and a suitable carrier. The “antigen” can include a single antigen from a dermatophyte or a plurality of antigens as long as at least one antigen is included which will produce a sufficient immune response to confer resistance to ringworm infection upon the recipient of the vaccine. The antigen can also be isolated from more than one dermatophyte. If a preparation from more than one dermatophyte is made the antigen can include antigens which are common to all species of dermatophytes employed and/or antigens which are only specific to certain species. A method of producing such a ringworm vaccine is also disclosed. The method comprises making an antigen preparation comprising the dermatophyte antigen described above and combining the antigen preparation with a suitable carrier.

Abstract: A soluble formulation of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can be orally administered to animals. The formulation includes a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a base of an amino acid, and a strong base. The formulation can be prepared in a dry or liquid form. The formulation can be dissolved in an animal's drinking water to provide an appropriate dosage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug to the animal for treatment.

Abstract: A biodegradable interference screw for directly affixing a transplant to a bone, the interference screw being provided with at least one longitudinal groove designed to co-act with a tool for insertion of and if necessary, removal of the interference screw from an opening provided in the bone to receive both the transplant and the interference screw.

Abstract: The invention relates to a textile machine, in particular to a carding machine, a drawing frame or a combing machine comprising at least two electrical drives (30, 40, 50, 60) whose operating modes are synchronised with respect to a master functionality for actuating the machine elements, in particular the drawing elements for fibre material, measuring elements, transporting elements and/or storing elements. Said machine also comprises at least one measuring device (33, 43, 53, 63, 34, 5, 9, 54) for measuring actual measurand values relating to actuation and/or to fibre material. The inventive carding machine is characterised in that at least one control and/or adjusting unit (19, 131, 141, 151, 161) makes it possible to modify the master function with respect to the actual values.

Abstract: A device with a drafting device (3) for drafting at least one sliver (FB) supplied to the drafting device (3) comprises a sliver depositing apparatus (4) downstream from the drafting device (3) for depositing the drafted sliver (FB?) into a can (6). Furthermore, the device comprises a can replacement device (15) for replacing a filled can (6?) by a can (6) to be filled. Means (17) is provided on the device for lowering the temperature (T) and/or the relative moisture (LF) of the fibrous material (FB, FB?) before or after it is deposited in the can (6). Furthermore, means (17) for raising the temperature TU of the machine parts (13, 20) that make contact with the uppermost sliver layers (BL) in the filled can (6?) can be provided, with which means (17) a condensation of water on the cited machine parts (13, 20) is at least reduced.

Abstract: A pin for fixing an implant subjected to tensile load, in particular a tendon implant, has a rod-shaped body, the force exerted by the implant being able to be input onto the cross section of the body, on one side, and being able to be output on the opposite side to an anchoring site. It is proposed that the cross section has a longer dimension, in the direction of the force input from the tendon implant than it has transverse to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a textile machine comprising a sliver channel (2) arranged in a rotating plate (1) for a cycloid-shaped deposit of a fiber sliver in a can.
