The present invention provides a method for enhancing the specific uptake of a neurotoxin polypeptide into cells, the method comprising: incubating cells susceptible to neurotoxin intoxication with a neurotoxin polypeptide for a time and under conditions which allow for the neurotoxin polypeptide to exert its biological activity, the incubation comprising at least one of the following steps: (i) K.sup.+-mediated depolarization of the cells, (ii) a reduced neurotoxin polypeptide exposition time and/or (iii) agitation of the cells during neurotoxin polypeptide exposition, thereby enhancing the specific uptake of the neurotoxin polypeptide into said cells. In addition, the invention pertains to a method for directly determining the biological activity of a neurotoxin polypeptide in cells, comprising: a) incubating cells susceptible to neurotoxin intoxication with a neurotoxin polypeptide for a time and under conditions which allow for the neurotoxin polypeptide to exert its biological activity, the incubation comprising at least one of the following steps: (i) K.sup.+-mediated depolarization of the cells, (ii) a reduced neurotoxin polypeptide exposition time and/or (iii) agitation of the cells during neurotoxin polypeptide exposition; b) fixing the cells and, optionally, permeabilizing the cells with a detergent; c) contacting the cells with at least a first capture antibody specifically binding to the non-cleaved and neurotoxin-cleaved substrate and with at least a second capture antibody specifically binding to the cleavage site of the neurotoxin-cleaved substrate, under conditions which allow for binding of said capture antibodies to said substrates; d) contacting the cells with at least a first detection antibody specifically binding to the first capture antibody, under conditions which allow for binding of said first detection antibody to said first capture antibody, thus forming first detection complexes and with at least a second detection antibody specifically binding to the second capture antibody, under conditions which allow for binding of said second detection antibody to said second capture antibody, thus forming second detection complexes; e) determining the amount of the first and second detection complexes of step d); and f) calculating the amount of substrate cleaved by said neurotoxin polypeptide in said cells by means of the second detection complexes, thereby determining the biological activity of said neurotoxin polypeptide in said cells.

A film-removing device, includes: a load-bearing platform including a load-bearing surface; a film-removing roller provided at one side close to the load-bearing surface of the load-bearing platform, a central axis of the film-removing roller being parallel to the load-bearing surface of the load-bearing platform; a rotation driver connected to the film-removing roller and configured to drive the film-removing roller to rotate around a central line parallel to the central axis of the film-removing roller, such that an edge of the film-removing roller close to the load-bearing surface moves within the load-bearing surface of the load-bearing platform.

Disclosed is an apparatus for manufacturing a display module. An apparatus for manufacturing a display module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which attaches a polarizing plate, from which a release film is peeled, onto a display panel, includes: a separator configured to peel a release film from a polarizing plate, and formed with a flow path, through which foreign substances dropped from the release film when the release film is peeled are dischargeable; and a suction unit coupled to the separator to suck the foreign substances.

A display laminate which includes a front electrode layer, a display material layer and a protective film layer, wherein the protective film layer and the display material layer are narrower than the front electrode layer and wherein the protective film layer and the display material layer have a common edge with the front electrode layer on a first side and a common edge with each other but not with the front electrode layer on an opposite side.

An apparatus for configuring an exercise performance area is described that includes a handle, a shank, a spindle, and a rotation handle. The shank is mechanically connected to the handle and holds a spindle a distance away from the handle. The spindle includes a number of spindle parts, the spindle parts forming a groove. A rotation handle is mechanically connected to the spindle, and, when turned, causes the spindle to rotate. The apparatus aids in applying floor strips to mats on an exercise performance area.

A sheet separation device separates a non-bonding portion of a two-ply sheet in which two sheets are overlapped and bonded together at a bonding portion of the two-ply sheet. The sheet separation device includes a winding roller and a gripper. The winding roller rotates and winds the two-ply sheet to separate the two-ply sheet. The gripper is disposed in the winding roller and configured to grip a gripped portion of the two-ply sheet at one end of the two-ply sheet without abutting a tip of the gripped portion at the one end of the two-ply sheet on a member.

A peeling apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a conveyance roller configured to convey a laminate made by peelably laminating a first substrate and a second substrate including an opening; a peel roller arranged facing the conveyance roller with the laminate interposed in between, and configured to peel the second substrate from the first substrate; a winding roller arranged away from the peel roller, and configured to wind the second substrate peeled from the first substrate; and an auxiliary winding roller arranged between the peel roller and the winding roller, and including a stepped portion configured to maintain a width of the opening.

An apparatus of separating a flexible panel from a glass substrate is provided. The apparatus of separating a flexible panel from a glass substrate includes a console, a movable object fixing table, a position catcher, a lifting platform, and a suction separator. The console respectively drives the movable object fixing table and the lifting platform to move to a first position and a second position according to a real-time position of a fixed object fixed on the movable object fixing table captured by the position catcher, and a adhesive element of the suction separator tightly attaches to the flexible panel of the fixed object fixed on the movable object fixing table, drives the lifting platform to move to a direction away from the movable object fixing table, and drives the movable object fixing table to move to a direction away from the suction separator to separate the flexible panel from the glass substrate of the fixed object and fix the flexible panel on the adhesive element. By practice of the disclosure, the flexible panel could be completely separated from the glass substrate, and the flexible panel and the glass substrate will not be damaged.
