Abstract: A touch panel device includes a screen that has a
plurality of display areas in a first layer, and a plurality
of touch areas in a second layer. The second layer lies over
the first layer. One touch area is superposed over one display
area. The touch area is generally larger than the display area.
A position of each touch area is slightly offset from the
corresponding display area, depending upon a relative
positional relationship between the touch panel device and a
user of the touch panel device. The offsetting may be
determined based on ergonomics in order to effectively prevent
an erroneous operation of a user to the touch panel device. The
user is a vehicle driver if the touch panel device is used in
a car navigation machine.

IPC: B65H63/036
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a power failure system for an automatic winder having
a large number of yarn winding units each driven by an individual spindle drive. If a
power failure occurs in the automatic winder each yarn winding unit is to be stopped to
avoid the creation of scrambled packages. If a power failure detecting section 29
detects a power failure, a motor 21 undergoes slowdown stop control. A regenerative
power generating section 30 supplies a unit control section 27 with regenerative power
resulting from this slowdown stop control. The unit control section 27 uses the supplied
regenerative power to activate a lift-up mechanism 2a to separate a winding package P
from a winding drum 3 (Fig. 1).

Abstract: Anti-glucan antibodies have been found to be protective against systemic fungal infection with  C.albicans,  but the protective efficacy can be inhibited by blocking antibodies. The invention provides an immunogenic composition comprising a glucan and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, characterised in that, when administered to a mammalian recipient, the composition elicits protective anti-glucan antibodies but does not elicit antibodies which inhibit the protective efficacy of the anti-glucan antibodies. The glucan may be presented on the surface of a protease-treated microbial cell or may be presented as a protein-glucan conjugate. Anti-glucan-antibodies show broad spectrum microbicidal activity. ²-glucans are preferred, particularly those containing one or more ²-1,6 linkages.

Abstract: Apparatus for non-invasively determining the time onset (T onset ) and end (T end ) of patient inspiratory efforts. A composite pressure signal is generated comprising the sum of an airway pressure signal, a gas flow pressure signal obtained by applying a gain factor (K f ) to a signal representing gas flow rate and a gas volume pressure signal obtained by applying a gain factor (K v ) to a signal representing volume of gas flow. K f  and K v  values are adjusted to result in a desired linear trajectory of composite pressure signal baseline in the latter part of the exhalation phase. The current composite pressure signal is compared with (i) selected earlier composite pressure signal values and/or (ii) value expected at current time based on extrapolation of composite pressure signal trajectory at specified earlier times and/or (iii) the current rate of change in the composite pressure signal with a selected earlier rates of change. The differences obtained by the comparison are compared with selected threshold values. T onset  is identified when at least one of the differences exceeds the threshold values.
