The device aims to reduce the bulk and the complexity of creels, i.e., of the supports of the spools (12) which are specifically installed proximate to weaving machines, caused by the path of the thread unwinding longitudinally from the spool (12) and subjected to tension variations and to lateral flapping; to shorten the path of the thread (14); to facilitate changing the spool (12); and to allow...

A method for producing a partitioned container of the present invention includes the steps of providing a preform having an interior surface; separately forming an inner wall for insertion into the preform; inserting the inner wall into the preform; preparing for molding and molding the preform and inner wall into the partitioned container; and activating a manner for securing the inner wall to th...

Entry of HIV-1 into target cells requires cell surface CD4 as well as additional host cell cofactors. A cofactor required for infection with virus adapted for growth in transformed T cell lines was recently identified and named fusin. Fusin, however, does not promote entry of macrophage-tropic viruses that are believed to be the key pathogenic strains in vivo. It has now been determined that the p...
