Abstract: An inwardly cambered rocker joint for a power transmission chain is
disclosed. The rocker joint includes a straight pin (7) that defines a rocking surface (25) and
engages a first chain link. The rocker joint also includes an inwardly cambered
rocker (8) that engages a second chain link and that defines a rocking surface (41) that

Abstract: The present invention provides an ATP synthesis activator which allows the
promotion of ATP synthesis in the body and results in an increased ATP level in the
body for a long period of time. The ATP synthesis activator comprises, as an active
ingredient, a mixture of a plurality of herbs having an ion-exchange capacity. It may
stimulate electron generation in the body and hence results in an improved ATP
synthesis activity due to the generated electrons, because dietary fiber contained in the
herbs has an ion-exchange capacity.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
manufacturing an ink jet recording head utilizing ink
bubbling by heating of an exothermic resistor to
thereby eject ink and a method manufacturing the same,
including the steps of: preparing a substrate
provided with the exothermic resistor; applying such
first resin on the substrate as to provide a first
mold shape for forming the nozzle channel and the
movable member; forming the first mold shape using
the first resin; applying, on the substrate, second
resin over the first mold shape for forming the
nozzle channel and the movable member; and removing
the first mold shape. By this method, the movable
member is formed in the nozzle channel between the
ink inlet and the exothermic resistor to thereby
provide a high-density, high-accuracy ink jet
recording head which can improve a frequency response
while maintaining proper discharge performance.

Abstract: A microwave oven 1 includes a motor-operated rotor 10 installed inside a
cooking cavity 3 to distribute microwaves generated by a magnetron 2. A
rotation trace limiter limits a rotation trace of the rotor to rotation within a
predetermined range. The rotation trace limiter may includes stoppers to limit
rotation of the rotor, or a cam mechanism unit (Fig. 10), which changes a
movement of a motor shaft connecting the rotor to the motor. This allows more
efficient operation of the oven 1 over a range of load conditions. In addition, the
amount of the microwaves reflected back to the magnetron during an operation
under no-load or light load conditions is reduced, increasing the life expectancy
of the magnetron 2 and improving operational reliability of the oven 1.

Abstract: A method of forming, filling and sealing a reclosable
package with a slider (32) activated zipper (30) wherein a
base film (16) moves longitudinally to a filling station
and, in a moving direction, away from said filling station.
At the filling station a product (14) is fed onto the base
film (16). As the base film (16) carrying product (14) is
moved from the filling station, a zipper (30) with a slider
(32) attached is fed onto the moving film in the moving
direction of the base film (16). The zipper (30) has a
first profile (36) and a second profile (34), each of which
has an attached web (40,38) extending away from the slider
(32). A top film (20) is applied over the base film (16)
and the first profile web (40) is sealed to the base film
(16) and the second profile web (38) is sealed to the top
film (20). The package is completed by transversely cross-sealing
(60) the base film (16) and the top film (20)
together on opposite sides of the product (14). The base
(16) and top (20) films may be formed from the same sheet
folded over or may be formed from separate sheets.

Abstract: Les modes de réalisation de l'invention consistent à appliquer de nouvelles méthodes par déduction permettant d'analyser des informations biologiques complexes, notamment de réseaux génétiques. Dans certains modes de réalisation, des données d'interruption et/ou des données d'induction/inhibition sont obtenues simultanément pour un nombre de gènes dans un organisme. Certaines nouvelles méthodes consistent à modifier les méthodes par déduction booléenne et à appliquer ces méthodes afin de déterminer des relations entre des gènes exprimés dans des organismes. D'autres nouvelles méthodes consistent à modifier des méthodes par déduction booléenne et à appliquer ces méthodes pour déterminer les relations de cause à effet entre les gènes exprimés, et dans certains modes de réalisation, pour déterminer des effecteurs en amont de gènes régulés. D'autres modifications des méthodes bayesiennes consistent à utiliser des méthodes d'ajustement de courbe différente et de variance hétérogène, notamment des fonctions spline, pour améliorer une estimation de graphiques de réseaux des gènes exprimés. D'autres modes de réalisation consistent à utiliser des méthodes d'amorçage et de détermination d'effets de bord pour fournir des informations de réseau entre des gènes exprimés avec plus d'exactitude. Les méthodes de l'invention ont été validées au moyen des informations obtenues à partir d'études précédentes, de même que des études menées récemment sur l'expression des gènes.

encapsulated by a polymeric/polymeric injection molded encapsulation or border (13) and
a second lens (12) also have a peripheral edge (16) encapsulated by a second injection molded
polymeric/copolymeric encapsulation or border (14). A hermetic chamber is thereby
formed between the two lenses. The first encapsulation is also provided with threads
or similar fastening means to readily secure the instrument cover to an instrument
"can" containing any variety of instruments, such as a nautical compass, amperage/voltage,

molded thereabout. This double injection molding process to manufacture the dual
lens sealed instrument cover creates "anti-fog" characteristics and allows more rapid

Abstract: A modem (10) for transmitting a discrete multitone modulated (DMT)
signal over a communications channel (H) is disclosed. In the encoding
of an input bitstream, unloaded subchannels in the DMT spectrum are
assigned signal values so that a trailing portion of each symbol of the

known-valued trailing portion of each symbol provides the effect of a
cyclic prefix, without necessitating the prepending of an actual cyclic
prefix and incurring the corresponding data rate loss; alternatively,
the effect of a cyclic prefix can be augmented by the forcing of the
trailing portion of the blocks to known values.
