Abstract: A method for treatment of an animal for systemic hypotension induced by internal nitric oxide production caused by endotoxin or cytokines. The method involves administering an  alpha 1 adrenergic agonist and an amount of an inhibitor of nitric oxide formation from arginine to restore vascular contractile sensitivity to  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists. A preferred inhibitor of nitric oxide formation is an NG-substituted arginine having at least one hydrogen on a guanidino amino group replaced by another atomic or molecular species, including NG-aminoarginine, NG-nitroarginine, and NG-alkylarginines such as NG-methylarginine, NG-ethylarginine, NG-propylarginine and NG-butylarginine. Arginine derivative inhibitors are preferably of the L configuration and include pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. Treatment of systemic hypotension in a patient which has been induced by chemotherapy with biologic response modifiers such as tumor necrosis factor or interleukin-2 may be likewise accomplished. Treatment of an animal for systemic hypotension induced by endotoxin, or other bacterial toxins, e.g., septic shock, may also be accomplished by treatment with  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists and an inhibitor such as an arginine derivative, restoring vascular contractile sensitivity to the  alpha 1 adrenergic agonists.

Abstract: A resource oriented host computer-printer system is disclosed in which the host computer and printer share information and data processing duties. A system and method for analyzing the execution times for draw primitives allows the host computer to determine whether the printer will be able to render draw primitives in real-time. The inventive system sends a series of test instructions to the printer at the time the printers is installed on the host computer. A timer is used to time a predetermined period of time during which the draw primitives are sent to the printer for execution. Based on the number of draw primitives executed and the type of draw primitives executed, the system constructs a printer model. A log file is used to store the acquired cost metric data. In one embodiment of the invention, a clumping procedure is used to classify cost metric data. A series of cost tables stores the classified cost metric data. A map table provides a map to the cost table to speed up the process of cost metric data retrieval. At run time, a resource assembler calculates the cost of executing each draw primitive within a band to determine if the printer can render the draw primitive in real-time. If the band is too complex for the printer to render in real-time, the host computer will render the band and transmit the bit-map of that band to the printer. If too many bands on one page are complex, the host computer may render the entire page and transmit the bit-map for all bands on the page. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method of emptying a refuse-collecting container by air evacuation, the container (1) being connected via a first valve (4) to a refuse feed line (3), for example in the form of a refuse shaft arranged in a multi-family dwelling. The refuse-collecting container can be connected via a second, valve-controlled aperture in the base of the container to a refuse removal line (5), which for its part can be connected to a collecting chamber located in a refuse vehicle, it being possible for the latter chamber to be made empty of air in order to achieve a necessary suction effect. The interior of the container can be connected to atmospheric air by at least one valve-controlled aperture (8, 9). On emptying the container, the first valve is kept open during a first evacuation stage. In a second evacuation stage, after at least a partial vacuum has been achieved in the container, atmospheric air is introduced below the refuse bags which have collected in the collecting zone in the container, and in a third evacuation stage a further stream of atmospheric air is introduced into the interior of the container above the refuse collecting zone. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for fabrication of absorbent articles includes a linear array of frame modules each having an open interior. Panels are mounted to one face of the modules. Article fabrication mechanisms are mounted to project from the panels. Operating means are disposed within the modules and are operatively engaged through the panels with the fabrication mechanisms. An operating and control system is provided for a machine in which disposable absorbent articles are fabricated. Continuously operating mechanisms are driven by electric motors for continuously operating on moving webs and other components of the article. A main drive shaft is rotated for transferring power through direction phasing mechanical power transfer devices to mechanisms which intermittently effect unity operations with respect to an associated moving web. The direction phasing mechanical power transfer devices are controlled relative to a sensed portion of an article component so as to temporarily vary the speed of the unity operation and effect registration of the operation in a preselected relationship with the associated moving web. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coding remotely detected gauges (10). At least two elements (13), the characteristics thereof being changed by an external magnetic field, are provided for forming said gauge (10), said gauge (10) being exposed to a biasing magnetic field covering a detecting volume that is larger than the gauge, and the characteristics of said elements (13) changed by said magnetic field, are detected. According to the invention the elements of each gauge (10) are oriented in predetermined mutual relationships to provide an identity of the gauge determined by said relationships. The elements are exposed to a sequence of different field distributions. The local field distribution of the biasing field over the gauge is continuously determined, and the mutual relationship between the elements is determined in dependence of the orientation of each element in the local field distribution by comparing actual properties of the elements influenced by the magnetic field, and expected properties of elements arranged in predetermined relationships to each other in the local field distribution. <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 19, 1993Fluid-tight, boat-shaped packaging tray comprises a bottom surrounded by sides, connected in pairs by means of inwardly backfolded bellows. These bellows comprise two portions which contact one of the sides. The first portion of the bellows, adjacent to the side contacting the bellows, has an upper cut-out portion which provides for direct contact between the second portion of the bellows and the side of the packaging tray which contacts the bellows during fabrication. The fabrication provides a method whereby simple gluing of the internal faces of the sides intended to contact the bellows allows the front face of one of the portions to be assembled with the back face of the other portion in order to facilitate erection and assembly of container and to maintain the fluid-tight nature of the corner. This assembly method requires the application of adhesive to only one side of the cardboard blank from which the packaging tray is formed, and the resultant structure prevents liquid from rising by capillary action and provides an attractive external appearance of the packaging tray.

Abstract: An anti-icing fluid suitable for ground treatment of aircraft, being a glycol-based, aqueous solution containing a hydrophobe-bearing, macromonomer-containing polymer thickener in an amount of less than about 5 weight %. Thickening occurs predominantly by association among hydrophobe groups. Thickening may be enhanced by addition of a surfactant or other materials which act as co-thickeners. Use of this thickened fluid does not adversely affect airfoil lift characteristics during takeoff, because the fluid exhibits shear thinning and readily flows off the aircraft surfaces when exposed to wind shear during the aircraft's takeoff run.

Abstract: 30-500 mu m carbon granules are mixed with the waste water. This serves as an immobiliser for bacteria, and also as a hydrocyclonic sepn. agent. After treatment, the mixture is fed to a hydrocyclone, separating most of the activated sludge and carbon from the waste water; solids are recirculated to the activated sludge vessel. Water from the hydrocyclone with residual sludge, is filtered under pressure in a thickening stage. Thickened sludge, still pumpable, is recycled back to the start. The resulting waste water is sufficiently clean to be polished by a final sand filtration. In addition to the process described, a plant is also claimed. <IMAGE>
