1. A method for reducing wrinkles andor fine lines of an individual in need thereof comprising: topically applying a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of cis-6-nonenol in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle to a wrinkle andor fine line on said individual’s skin for a time sufficient to reduce severity of said wrinkle andor fine line; wherein said cis-6-nonenol is a candidate material identified as a paxillin stimulator by contacting a human skin cell with said candidate material and assaying for up-regulation of paxillin mRNA.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said candidate material further comprises a collagen stimulator.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein said collagen stimulator is thiodipropionic acid.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A clamp for holding a cylindrical component, said clamp comprising:
at least one curved seat having at least one protrusion, said curved seat being cantilevered by a first end.
2. The clamp of claim 1 further comprising two curved seats, each having said protrusion.
3. The clamp of claim 1 wherein said clamp is configured for mounting within a clamping device; a first clamp and a second clamp arranged to circumferentially grip said cylindrical component within said clamping device.
4. The clamp of claim 1 wherein a second end of said curved seat is configured to be simply supported while under load; whereby said protrusion is configured to contact said cylindrical component under load such that a concentrated load is exerted on said curved seat between said first end and a second end causing said curved seat to be elastically deflected.
5. A clamp for holding a cylindrical component, said clamp comprising:
at least one cantilevered curved seat having a protrusion;
said protrusion configured for imparting a concentrated clamping force on said cylindrical component.
6. A method for welding a first cylindrical component held in abutment with a second cylindrical component using a welding device, said method comprising the steps of:
providing at least one clamp comprising at least one curved seat having at least one protrusion, said clamp being cantilevered by a first end;
clamping at least one of said first cylindrical component and said second cylindrical component within said clamp; and
welding said first cylindrical component to said second cylindrical component with said welding device.
