System for producing rolls of air-filled cushioning material which includes a machine for inflating and sealing a preconfigured film material to form a continuous sheet of air-filled cushioning material, and a winder having a spindle for receiving the inflated cushioning material from the machine, a drive motor for rotating the spindle to wind the inflated cushioning material into a roll on the spindle, and means for controlling the motor in accordance with the diameter of the roll to maintain substantially uniform tension in the material as the material is wound into the roll. In one disclosed embodiment, the diameter of the roll is monitored by a feeler arm, and in another it is determined from the rate at which the spindle is rotating and the rate at which the material is wound onto the roll.

The invention provides methods for treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases by administering to the subject an effective amount of a cardiac glycoside, where the dose is effective to suppress or prevent initiation, progression, or relapses of the disease, including the progression of established disease. In some embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise administering to a subject determined to have rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus, or a pre-clinical disease state thereof, an effective amount of a cardiac glycoside, to suppress or prevent activity of the disease. In other embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise administering to a subject determined to have insufficient endogenous cardiac glycosides, an effective amount as a supplement to counteract the effects of cardiac glycoside deficiency.

A sealed vented surge arrester and method of manufacture is described wherein the valve elements are held under compressive loading while strength members including a moisture sealing void filling compound are pressed fit from the sides of the unit with a shed applied over it. The design achieves all the desirable features of tubular strength members with an ease of manufacture from utilizing half-shell or more members which can be applied from the sides along the longitudinal axis of the valve elements during manufacture to provide better void filling between the structural members and the valve elements.

A surge arrester (1) includes varistor elements (2) forming a stack (3) and having opposed end surfaces (4a, 4b). The varistor stack is electrically connected via the opposed end surfaces to end terminals (7a, 7b) having circumferential ridges (32a, 32b), which, in the event of failure of the varistor elements, are designed to relocate the resulting arc and direct it in a manner which reduces or minimizes damage to the surge arrester. The ridges serve as damage-tolerant sacrificial rooting points for an arc in the event of varistor element failure by presenting a substantial metal mass for the arc to erode away.

The invention provides methods for treating inflammatory diseases by administering to the subject an effective amount of an agent that provides alpha B-crystallin activity, where the dose is effective to suppress or prevent initiation, progression, or relapses of disease, including the progression of established disease. In some embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise administering to a subject having a pre-existing inflammatory disease condition, an effective amount of alpha B-crystallin protein, to suppress or prevent relapses of the disease.

A solder delivery system has a continuous element of solder material adjacent to at least one polymeric layer, which is provided with window means to control the flow of solder. The layers, if there are more than one, may be separate pieces, or may be parts of a folded sheet or a tube of polymeric material. In use, the conductors to be soldered are placed adjacent to corresponding terminals of a substrate and the system placed in contact with and perpendicular to the conductors, with the window means towards the conductors. On the application of heat and pressure, the solder melts and flows toward the terminals, and solder bridges are prevented by the "window frames" which lie between the terminals.
