Abstract: A system for deploying life rafts from ships, wherein the life rafts (2, 3) are of the inflatable type and where there are stocking-like bodies (7) for transfer of personnel from the ship to at least one of the life rafts. The life rafts are arranged in groups which are loosely connected with a common bottom frame (1), and where each group comprises a reception raft (2) and several evacuation rafts (3) detachably connected with the reception raft (2). The said bottom frame (1) is suspended from at least one winch wire (4) arranged from a support frame (5) which can be moved from a parked position inside the ship's side to an operative position outside the ship's side. When the support frame (5) is in an operative position, the bottom frame (1) can be lowered into the water by means of the winch (8). The winch wires (4) pass through sliding guides (6a) in the bottom of the reception raft and sliding guides (6b) in a known per se rescue stocking (7) which is stretched between the support frame (5) and the reception raft (2). The reception raft is automatically inflated when the bottom frame (1) is lowered below the surface of the water, while at the same time the evacuation rafts (3) remain afloat uninflated beside the reception raft (2) and detachably connected with it. The evacuation rafts' inflation mechanism can be actuated manually from the reception raft as required, thus maintaining a continuous, safe escape route from the ship's deck to the evacuation rafts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for achieving an adhesive bond in a folded joint between a first component (1) and a second component (2), preferably of sheet metal. The components (1, 2) have essentially flat edge areas (3, 4), and the second component (2) has a bent-up edge flange (5) to be bent down about the edge area (3) of the first component (1). The process comprises application of an adhesive string (8) along the surface of the second component (2), which is to lie in contact with the first component (1). According to the invention, the adhesive string (8) is applied a short distance from the edge flange (5), and the amount of adhesive in the adhesive string (8) is adjusted so that the adhesive, when the components (1, 2) are pressed together, is forced past the edge of the first component (1) and covers the same. Furthermore, a second adhesive string (10) is applied along the surface of the first component (1), against which the edge flange (5) is bent down. The second adhesive string (10) is placed a short distance from the edge of the first component (1) and the amount of adhesive is adjusted so that the adhesive, when the edge flange (5) is bent down, is, on the one hand, pressed into contact with the adhesive in the first adhesive string (8), and, on the other hand, is made to cover the edge of the edge flange (5).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for analyzing a material within a container, such as blood within a capillary in a volumetric cytometry system provides for detecting the edges of the container, counting the cells within the container, characterizing the cells within the container, and evaluating channels of data which contain information relevant to more than one of the detectable characteristics of the cells. A scanner scans a container of material including certain cells. Sampling circuitry is coupled to the scanner to generate scanned images of the material in the container. Two or more scanned images are generated based on fluorescence data from dyes that have overlapping spectra. The two scanned images are processed using a linear regression analysis among corresponding pixels in the scanned images near certain cells to characterize relative contents of two fluorescing dyes in a target cell. Target cells are identified from the scanned images using processing resources which identify a peak sample within a neighborhood, and compare the amplitude of the peak with the amplitude of pixels on the perimeter of the neighborhood. Upon identifying a target cell in this manner, data from the plurality of scanned images corresponding to the identified cell are saved for further analysis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif à résonnance magnétique (1) pour la mise en image, entre autre d'organes humains par résonnance magnétique. Lorsque des techniques d'intervention sont appliquées en combinaison à un dispositif à résonnance magnétique (1), les organes sont visualisés de manière appropriée, mais les instruments guidés vers un organe via une ouverture pratiquée dans le corps ne sont pas visibles ou ne sont que peu visibles. Ces instruments doivent être mis en image au moyen d'un dispositif à rayons X (20); le patient doit être ensuite transporté sur une certaine distance, par exemple quelques mètres, afin d'obtenir des images sans distorsion des instruments. Le transport du patient présente quelques inconvénients. En effet, le risque existe de bouger les instruments se trouvant dans le patient, et, de plus, les systèmes de coordonnées du dispositif à résonnance magnétique (1) et du dispositif à rayons X (20) peuvent dévier l'un par rapport à l'autre. Une solution consiste à agencer le dispositif à rayons X (20) immédiatement en position adjacente au ou dans le dispositif à résonnance magnétique (1), de sorte que le patient n'a pas besoin d'être transporté du tout ou uniquement sur une toute petite distance. Les influences mutuelles indésirées du dispositif à résonnance magnétique (1) et du dispositif à rayons X (20) sont contrecarrées, par exemple en utilisant un détecteur à rayons X de type à semiconducteur (22) qui comprend un dispositif de détection d'image à semiconducteur et, en rendant la position du tube à rayons X (40) dépendante du champ magnétique statique du dispositif à résonnance magnétique.

Date Jan. 25, 1996A process and device for controlling the inclination of rail vehicle boxes in a railway vehicle, the rail vehicle boxes sitting on spring-suspended bogies with at least one pair of wheels which can be pivoted about the longitudinal axis. The centrifugal acceleration in the horizontal plane is determined and a setpoint is calculated for the absolute inclination of the box relative to the earth. An actual value of the absolute inclination of the box relative to the earth is determined and at least one control signal is formed from the difference between the setpoint and the actual value of the absolute inclination of the box. The angle between the bogie and the box is adjusted across the direction of travel as a function of the control signal thus formed. This makes it possible to control the inclination of the box independently of the type of track banking design and any possible interference.
