Abstract: Le système décrit qui est destiné à une imprimante photographique couleur sert à régler le dispositif de commande d'exposition qui lui est associé (lanterne/obturateur), afin d'assurer l'intensité d'éclairage de chaque composant couleur (rouge, bleu et vert - RBV) ainsi que le temps d'exposition pour produire des épreuves tests ayant la même densité d'épreuve à partir de négatif ayant différentes expositions et par conséquent différentes densités. L'imprimante est graduée par des organes qui effectuent la graduation d'un densitomètre, lequel balaie et lit la densité sur une matrice de pixels du négatif et par des organes qui effectuent la graduation du système d'impression incluant tous les composants du dispositif de commande d'exposition, c'est-à-dire ses lampes, filtres, caractéristiques d'infiltration de lumière, milieu d'impression (le papier photosensible), ainsi que les paramètres du processus de développement des épreuves (processus photochimique qui convertit l'épreuve exposée en une épreuve présentant une image permanente). La graduation du densitomètre et la graduation photographique sont effectuées sur une base statistique grâce à l'utilisation d'un ensemble de pièces de négatif de film de graduation qui sont balayées pendant la graduation de l'imprimante par le densitomètre et utilisées pour établir une gamme d'épreuves de graduation sur le milieu d'impression après exposition par le dispositif de commande d'exposition. Ces pièces comportent des ensembles de pièces ayant une densité différente (l'exposition s'effectuant avec des diaphragmes différents) pour chacune des couleurs et pour le neutre. Ainsi, ces pièces fournissent une pluralité de niveaux de densité d'une pluralité de variations de couleur et de neutre. Au cours de la graduation du système photographique de l'imprimante, plusieurs variations d'exposition (un ensemble de deltas) sont utilisées pour établir les épreuves de graduation, dont le nombre est égal au nombre de pièces de graduation multiplié par le nombre de variations

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode et un appareil permettant d'évaluer, outre le tronc et les membres du corps, la répartition de deux types de troubles affectant le contrôle de l'équilibre et des positions: (1) l'incapacité et d'interpréter correctement les orientations somatosensorielles et les informations de mouvements provenant de ces parties du corps et des membres en contact avec des surfaces des support, et (2) l'incapacité de coordonner les contractions musculaires dans ces parties du corps et des membres en contact avec une surface de support, pour exécuter des mouvements de positions effectives fonctionnelles. Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation de la présente invention: (1) le sujet (10) prend une position d'équilibre pendant qu'au moins deux parties du corps ou des membres sont soutenues par des surfaces indépendantes (11, 11'); (2) les signaux provenant de la surface de support sont interrompus sauf pour l'une des parties du corps ou des membres soutenus; (3) la capacité du sujet d'utiliser les signaux venant de la surface de support de chacune des parties supportées du corps ou des membres, pour maintenir la position d'équilibre adoptée, est évaluée en mesurant l'étendue des déplacements se déroulant spontanément à partir de la position d'équilibre adoptée; (4) la capacité du sujet de coordonner les mouvements de position avec chaque partie supportée du corps ou des membres est évaluée en imposant des formes d'ondulations courtes des déplacements de la surface support; (5) les étapes 1 à 4 sont répétées avec des signaux de la surface de support interrompus selon une combinaison diffèrente sauf pour une des parties supportée du corps et des membres; et (6) la répartition de la capacité amoindrie de reçevoir et d'interpréter des signaux venant de la surface de support, et de coordonner des mouvements de positions entre les parties du corps et des membres permettant de prendre une position, est sélectivement évaluée en comparant des mesures quantitatives de déplacements spontanés à

Abstract: A roll (26) for supporting belts (24) defining the baling chamber of a machine for forming large cylindrical bales of crop is mounted by bearings (36) on an axial hexagonal shaft (34). 
     In order to protect each bearing (36) against ingress of foreign material, e.g. stray crop and dirt, an annular de­flector (38) is provided on the outward vulnerable side of the bearing (36). This deflector (38) is made of plas­tics material. It is mounted on the shaft (34) and has a clearance of only about 0.2 mm from the inner face of the roll (26). The deflector (38) has a pair of side-by-side grooves (40) at its periphery opening toward the roll (26). Foreign material tends, in due course, to accumulate in these grooves (40) and then to act in a self-sealing man­ner against further ingress.

Abstract: An improved method of making a catheter (10) such as an over the needle catheter and made therefrom is disclosed. The method comprises forming a headed portion on a length of flexible tubing (22) by pressing a small, metallic, (or plastic) cylin­drical insert into the proximal end of the tubing (22) preformed to accept the insert. A hub (24) is injection molded with an internal recess which forms a first internal surface with a narrower through hole in the forward end of the hub (24). A third interior portion of the hub (24) at the rearward end forms a an internal shoulder where it meets the recess. The tubing (22) is passed through the hub (24) so that the headed portion seats itself in the recess against the first internal surface. A heated die or ultrasonically driven staking tool is inserted through the rear end of the hub (24) to press against the internal shoulder to form a narrowed diameter which terminates against the rear end of the insert in the headed portion to thereby lock the tubing (22) in sealing engagement with the hub (24). A smooth, step free transitional portion is formed between the third portion and the recess where the die or tool has a frustum-shaped surface.

Abstract: An ink jet pen is disclosed having a drop generator (30), a catchbasin (34) and a plurality of interconnected ink chambers (14, 16, 18) comprising an ink reservoir (12) coupled therebetween. The ink is distributed among the chambers so that, at any given time, only one contains both air and ink. The others contain either all ink or all air. Consequently, environmental excursions that cause expansion of air in the reservoir (12) act to drive ink from only one of the chambers to the catchbasin (34). The pen can thus be constructed with a smaller catchbasin (34) than prior art pens, thereby increasing its volumetric efficiency. The catchbasin size can be reduced to an arbitrarily small volume by segregating the ink reservoir into an correspondingly large number of commensurately small chambers.

Abstract: A method of drying a fibre web such as a paper or paper board web (7), wherein air is first removed from the web (7) and a dryer felt (8), whereafter they are led together between two parallel metal bands (1, 2) moving at the same speed as the web (7) and the felt (8). For drying the web, the band (1) on the side of the web (7) is heated by means of a heating device (10) before the band (1) reaches the drying zone and, correspondingly, the band (2) on the side of the dryer felt (8) is cooled before the band reaches the drying zone and comes into contact with the dryer felt (8). In the method, for adjusting the mechanical Z com­pression exerted perpendicularly on the surface of the web (7), the temperature of the cooling band (2) is adjusted so that the difference between the condensation pressure of the steam condensed on the surface of the band (2) on the side of the dryer felt (8) and the pressure acting on the outer surface of the bands (1, 2) is substantially equal to the desired mechanical Z compression. Further, the drying rate of the web (7) is adjusted by adjusting the tempera­ture of the heated band (1) by means of the heating device (10) in such a way that a desired amount of water can be evaporated from the web (7) within the drying zone. Since the pressure loss created by the steam flowing through the dryer felt (8) is substantially insignificant with respect to the condensing pressure of the steam condensing on the surface of the band (2), and the temperature difference be­tween the heated band (1) and the cooled band (2) affects substantially this pressure loss only, these adjustments do not substantially affect each other and they can be carried out in desired order and adjusted suitably in view of the properties of the web (7) to be dried.
