Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine comprising: a plurality of components (16, 26) which, in use, are assembled into a circumferentially extending annular array; each component having a radially outer platform (20, 28), the outer platforms (20, 28) of the components (16, 26) forming a ring in the assembled array; wherein adjacent components (16, 26) interface at adjacent surfaces (22, 30) of their outer platforms (20, 28); wherein the outer platforms (20, 28) each comprise at least one lug (24) which extends from the outer platform (20) over a portion of the outer platform (28) of an adjacent component (26), and in use prevents relative radial displacement of the outer platform (20, 28) of the adjacent component (16, 26).

Abstract: An actuator for a deformable optical component includes a stack of ferroelectric layers, a plurality of electrodes for applying a voltage across each layer; every other electrode extending to an associated first conductor path and interstitial electrodes extending to an associated second conductor path the first conductor path or receiving a first conductor lead, the second conductor path for receiving a second conductor lead to contact the respective electrodes.

Abstract: Novel zinc activated ion channel (ZAC) polypeptides, proteins and nucleic acid molecules are provided. In addition to isolated, full-length ZAC proteins, isolated ZAC fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and anti-ZAC antibodies are provided. Moreover, ZAC nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing a nucleic acid encoding ZAC, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced and nonhuman transgenic animals in which a ZAC gene has been introduced or disrupted are provided. Diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods utilizing ZAC compositions or composition that detect, bind or modulate ZAC also are provided. Methods for identifying ZAC agonists, antagonists, inverse agonists and the like are described.

Abstract: A palletizer has an improved slide plate assembly and an improved indexing hoist. The slide plate assembly incorporates measures to reduce friction between it and the bags or other articles being handled by it. The orientation of the slide plates of the assembly are altered ninety degrees with respect to traditional slide plate orientation to eliminate the deadplate encountered by articles sliding along the slide plates. An air assist mechanism also is incorporated into the slide plate assembly to produce an air cushion between the articles and the top surface of the slide plates. The hoist, which is designed to index upwardly after receiving a layer of articles to compress that layer against the bottom surface of the slide plate assembly to flatten the articles and to force air out of them, incorporates an improved controller that causes the hoist to assuredly impart the desired compressive force to the articles without over-compressing the articles or overloading the hoist's lift motor.
