Abstract: Devices, systems and/or methods for repairing soft tissue adjacent a soft tissue repair site. In one embodiment, a repair device configured to couple to soft tissue is provided. The repair device includes a capture portion and an anchor portion. The capture portion configured to extend with radial portions. The anchor portion includes a base with multiple legs extending therefrom. The multiple legs are configured to move from a linear position to a formed position such that, in the formed position, the multiple legs couple to structure of the capture portion.

Abstract: This invention relates to IMX129840 cytokines, including new mammalian cytokine polypeptides; to methods of making such polypeptides; to methods of using them to treat conditions and diseases involving proliferation and/or differentiation of cells from pluripotent stem cell precursors; and to methods of identifying compounds that alter IMX129840 cytokine polypeptide activities.

Abstract: An automatic adjusting pipe cutting apparatus includes a housing having a first compartment defining a first cavity and a first axis of rotation extending in orthogonal relationship thereto and a second compartment defining a second cavity and a second axis of rotation extending in orthogonal relationship thereto, a cutting mechanism for cutting a pipe disposed in the first cavity, and a driving mechanism for driving the cutting mechanism disposed in the second cavity. The housing has a hinge disposed between and connecting the first and second compartments which allows them to pivot in relation to one another. The housing also has rollers circumferentially spaced apart from one another and rotatably mounted to the first compartment about the first cavity. The cutting mechanism has a cylindrical frame supported within the first cavity by the rollers and thereby is rotatable about the first axis of rotation.

Abstract: A beach cleaner for removing petroleum deposits. The cleaner comprises a cylinder, an endless belt with a protuberance pattern thereon surrounding the cylinder, a scraper bar mounted adjacent the protuberance pattern and a conveyor mounted adjacent the scraper bar. The cylinder is hollow and can be filled with liquid. The conveyor is driven by a power source and conveys debris sidewise to a collecting device. The beach cleaner is adapted to be mounted to a power unit such as a front end loader.
