Abstract: Weighing device comprises a frame (1) for supporting the weighing device, a movable platform on which an object to be weighed can stand, and a weighing element which is coupled at one side to the platform and at the other side is supported by the frame. The weighing device is provided with limiting means (8; 9, 10) for limiting forces and/or moments exerted via the platform (2) on the weighing element (4). The weighing device is further designed in such a way that in a situation in which the limiting means (8; 9, 10) are inactive the platform (2) and the part of the weighing element (4) coupled thereto lie clear of the frame (1). A resilient element (8) is provided between the platform (2) and the weighing element (4) or between the weighing element (4) and the frame (1). The weighing device can absorb relatively great forces, without the weighing device being damaged and without this being at the expense of the weighing accuracy.

Abstract: In a so-called trellis shaping modulation system, instead of mapping a digital data sequence into a sequence of signal points drawn from a finite-dimensional signal point constellation as in typical coded modulation, the data sequence is mapped into a sequence of signal points drawn from a so-called trellis constellation of available infinite-dimensional sequences so that there is no single N-dimensional constellation used repeatedly in each N dimensions. The region occupied by the available sequences in sequence space is shaped to minimize the required power; i.e., preferably the region is an approximation to the Voronoi region of the trellis code (where the trellis code is not just a repeated lattice code).

Abstract: An apparatus for storing and reading a magneto-optical disk has a slit shaped aperture (40) located in an air-bearing slider (30) which flies above the disk (10). Domains of the disk are selected for storing or reading by a light beam (13). The domains are reduced in size without losing inter-domain resolution by illuminating the disk with the portion of a focused laser beam incident on the disk through the slit (40), the slit width being less than the full beam width. The slider preferably terminates a wedge-shaped cavity (34) suspended above the medium a distance substantially less than the wavelength of the illuminating light; the thickness of the walls of the slit being substantially less than the wavelength of the illuminating light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting the adhesion of one cell to another comprising interfering with the interaction between the extracellular matrix receptor and its ligand. The invention is based upon the discovery that the  alpha 4 beta 1 extracellular matrix receptor promotes adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells via attachment to a defined peptide sequence. Prior to the present invention, the ligand of the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor had not been identified, nor had the function of the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor in lymphocyte attachment been known. By preventing the interaction between the  alpha 4 beta 1 receptor and its ligands using antibodies or defined peptide sequences, the present invention enables, for the first time, specific intervention in the migration of lymphocytes through the vascular endothelium and into tissues. The present invention, therefore, has particular clinical utility in suppression of the immune response, in various specific embodiments of the invention, the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelium may be inhibited systemically, or may, alternatively, be localized to particular tissues or circumscribed areas. Accordingly, the present invention provides for treatment of diseases involving autoimmune responses as well as other chronic or relapsing activations of the immune system, including allergy, asthma, and chronic inflammatory skin conditions.

Abstract: In a method for ultrasonic surveillance of spaces, an ultrasonic transmitter is used which radiates reproducible transmit pulses into the space, and an ultrasonic receiver which receives the reflection signals triggered by these pulses. Both processes occur simultaneously so that an interference field is produced in the surveillance space. With reference to the beginning of the transmitting period, measurement levels are recorded at defined measuring times and compared with one another. An alarm transmitter is activated or kept deactivated in accordance with the result of the comparison. To eliminate false alarms due to thermal effects in the surveillance space, it is proposed to allow the measuring periods for two measurement profiles to begin in each case only after the interference field has settled. During the evaluation, the measurement profiles are first superimposed above one another, with reference to the same measuring time, and then shifted in parallel with respect to one another step by step in the direction of their measurement level, with the aim of achieving the best-possible match between them. The deviations from matched measurement profiles obtained section by section are used as criterion for the case of an alarm. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The machine comprises a machine bed (1), a grinding wheel (2), a control wheel (3), which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the machine at a horizontal distance from the grinding wheel, as well as a work rest (4), provided between the wheels, for holding a workpiece to be machined. The work rest (4) is arranged on the machine bed, comprises a support body (17) and is only vertically adjustable in the machine. A first longitudinal slide (7) displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the machine is arranged on a first plate (5) pivotable in a horizontal plane, and a first cross slide displaceable in the transverse direction of the machine is arranged on this longitudinal slide (7). The first cross slide contains the grinding wheel (2). In a similar manner, the control wheel (3) is arranged on a second cross slide (11) which in turn is fastened to a second longitudinal slide (10) which in turn is mounted on a second horizontally pivotable plate (9). A first and a second dressing device (12, 13) each for dressing the grinding wheel and the control wheel respectively are connected in a fixed position to one each of the pivotable plates (5, 9). Both the work feed and the in-process measurement can be simplified by this arrangement. The numerically controlled axes for driving the said longitudinal and cross slides can be used for setting the wheels (2, 3) to the workpiece and for setting the wheels (2, 3) to the corresponding dressing device (12, 13). Relatively expensive numerically controlled drives can thereby be reduced in number compared with machines belonging to the prior art. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Two kinds of antibody antagonists of the binding of human IL-4 to cellular receptors are provided by this invention. Some of the antagonists bind to specific regions of IL-4 which are believed to be involved in interactions between IL-4 and its receptors. Because of this specific binding by the antibodies to the IL-4, the binding of the IL-4 to the receptors is substantially inhibited. The other antibody antagonists of the invention are anti-idiotypic antibodies which, while lacking IL-4 activity, appear to mimic IL-4 and to compete directly with it for binding to the cellular receptors. Polypeptides used to make the antibody antagonists are also provided, together with methods for using the antagonists to inhibit the binding of IL-4 to its cellular receptors.
