Filed: 1997-06-04
Abstract: A method of using a touch screen control panel to input and display data to control excavation by an excavator includes the steps of: (1) providing a display panel with a touch-sensitive screen at a position accessible to an operator; (2) inputting data by touching the display panel to define a desired contour of the excavated surface; (3) displaying on the display panel information representing the desired contour of the excavated surface; and (4) controlling movement of the excavator bucket to excavate the desired contour of the excavated surface. The display panel displays a sequence of screens that convey information to the operator and permit the operator to select operational modes and to input data to define the control parameters for the various operational modes.

Abstract: This injector mounting structure has attained the
reduction of the length of a fuel pipe, a total height
of an engine and a distance between cam shafts. A
fuel supply boss (15) extends from the relative injector
(1) diagonally at a predetermined angle (), and
passes a position close to the cam shafts(8) and then
a position between cams(10,11) mounted on these cam
shafts(8), so that it becomes possible to minimize the
total height of an injector body (14), and reduce the
length of the fuel pipe to be connected to a fuel
supply boss (15). The fuel supply boss (15) is provided
with an escape portion (21) for preventing the fuel
supply boss (15) and cam shafts (8) from interfering with
each other, whereby the fuel supply boss (15) and cam
shafts(8) may be disposed closer to each other. The
distance between the cam shafts(8,9) becomes shorter,
and the shafts of the suction and exhaust valves can be
disposed closer to each other as they are kept parallel
to each other, the performance of even a miniaturized
engine being not deteriorated.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a ratchet wheel pipette having a body and in it a cylinder (3) and a piston (12) and a filling and dispensing arrangement to draw liquid into the cylinder and to dispense it in smaller portions with the aid of the piston. The pipette has a push rod (11) as an extension of the piston, a transmission wheel (6) in mesh with the push rod, a ratchet wheel (5) having a larger diameter than the transmission wheel and rotating with it and having a peripheral engaging surface, such as gears, and, journaled on the same shaft as the ratchet wheel, a dispensing lever (9) which is movable between an upper position and a lower position and with an attached pawl (10) engaging the engaging surface of the ratchet wheel, so that when the dispensing lever moves downwards, beginning at a certain point of the movement, the pawl engages the engaging surface of the ratchet wheel and forces the ratchet wheel and thus also the transmission wheel to rotate, and so that when the dispensing lever moves upwards the pawl does not rotate the ratchet wheel. The pipette can be used in laboratories, for instance to dispense samples or reagents.

IPC: A61K31/00

Abstract: Cell and tissue destruction by cryoablation is enhanced by the perfusion of the cells with thermal hysteresis proteins prior to the cryogenic freezing. The effect of the proteins is to promote the growth of spicular ice crystals in the intracellular fluid which destroy the cell by piercing the cell membrane. This decreases the incidence of cell preservation by freezing, thereby permitting a more uniform and controllable destruction of undesirable tissue by the cryoablation technique.

Ce système fait intervenir des processeurs parallèles qui se voient assigner, de façon itérative et intelligente, une série de générations de solutions filles provenant de solutions sélectionnées parentes ou d'une génération antérieure. Le système fait appel à plusieurs niveaux de compétition pour générer une niveau suivant de solutions possibles et pour réaffecter des ressources de processeur aux régions les plus prometteuses en matière de recherche de la meilleure solution relative à la tâche entreprise, ce qui suppose et une compétition inter-familles et une compétition interne à la famille. On établit des données de température de système que l'on abaisse graduellement à chaque génération subséquente et l'on apporte un certain degré de stochasticité dans la génération de solutions. Le procédé hiérarchique et itératif, comportant une certaine stochasticité et un abaissement graduel de la température, assure une génération de solutions de recuit simulé à guidage évolutif.
