Filed: 1995-01-31
Abstract: A clutch operational control apparatus (75) controls an engaging force of a starting clutch (5) which is provided in a power transmitting path including an automatic transmission (CVT). The control apparatus comprises an idling state detec-for of an engine, a vacuum pressure detector for detecting an actual intake vacuum pressure of the engine, a range judging unit for a shift position of a manual shift lever, a target intake vacuum pressure determining unit for determining a target intake vacuum pressure,. and clutch engaging force control means for controlling the clutch engaging force. The target intake vacuum pressure determining unit ,determines the target intake vacuum pressure based on the actual intake vacuum pressure when it is judged that the shift position is at the non-driving range and further when it is detected that said engine is in the idling state. The clutch engaging force control means controls the clutch engaging force so that the actual intake vacuum pressure coincides with the target intake vacuum pressure when it is judged that the shift position is at the driving range and further when it is detected that the engine is in the idling state.

Abstract: Nondigestible fat compositions useful as a replacement for triglyceride fats or oils in foods are disclosed. These compositions have relatively flat Solid Fat Content (SFC) profile slopes between typical room and body temperatures. The nondigestible fat compositions comprise a liquid nondigestible oil and nondigestible particles of solid polyol polyester material dispersed in the oil in an amount sufficient to control passive oil loss. The ester groups of the solid polyol polyester material comprise: (i) at least about 15 % ester groups formed from C20-C26 long chain saturated fatty acid radicals, and (ii) ester groups formed from fatty or other organic acid radicals which are dissimilar said long chain saturated fatty acid radicals. The molar ratio of said dissimilar acid radicals to said long chain saturated fatty acid radicals ranges from about 0.1:7.9 to about 3:5. Moreover, the dissimilar acid radicals cannot consist solely of C2-C12 short chain saturated fatty acid radicals, C20 or higher long chain unsaturated fatty acid radicals, or a combination of said short chain saturated and said long chain unsaturated fatty acid radicals. Edible fat-containing products containing these nondigestible fat compositions can be less waxy tasting due to the lower level of solids required for passive oil loss control.

Title: Thin film electroluminescent display module
Inventor: KITAI ADRIAN H
IPC: H05B33/06
Filed: 1995-06-02
Abstract: A thin film electroluminescent display module sealed against moisture with driver chip and optional lens is disclosed. The module is formed on a transparent substrate upon which a sequence of patterned thin layers is deposited and a patterned sealing layer and driver circuits) are applied. In one aspect the tile element achieves over 100 fL brightness in a 5x7 format with circular pixels.  Expansion to a 16x16 format is also disclosed and a novel addressing geometry suitable for tiled displays is presented. The application of a unique insulator layer allows flexible interconnections with conductor crossovers to address pixel arrays in formats other than X-Y matrix addressing. The absence of edge connections and a bulky edge seal permits production of a tiled display in which module-to-module spacing is not limited by connectors or seals. Multiple electroluminescent display modules may be tiled together edge-to-edge to form a large display panel.

Abstract: A process for preparing a flavored dried fruit product having a flavor which does not substantially correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit is provided. As a first step, a dried fruit is treated with an acidulant being selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, phosphoric acid, and fumaric acid in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to substantially remove the natural flavor of the dried fruit. As a second step, the treated dried fruit is then dehydrated to the desired moisture content. The dried fruit is treated during the first step or after the second step with a flavoring agent having a flavor which does not correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit. The flavoring agent is employed in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to impart to the dried fruit a flavor which is substantially the same as the flavoring agent.

Patent CA-2156718-A1 (CA)
Title: Immunological response potentiation process
Inventor: GANDER BRUNO
IPC: A61K39/08
Filed: 1994-12-23
Abstract: An immunological response potentiation process is disclosed for synthetic or genetically engineered antigens having low immunogenicity. The antigen is embedded into biodegradable microparticles, these antigen-loaded microparticles are dispersed in a biodegradable medium which triggers when it is parenterally administered a potentiated antibody, TH-lymphocyte and Tclymphocyte response, as compared to an aqueous antigen solution. The extent of immunological potentiation is at least comparable with that attained by IFA compositions. Linear B-TH-cell epitopes, linear Tc-cell epitopes, dimers and multimers of said epitopes, as well as their mixtures, are used as low immunogenicity antigens. The microparticles are based on biodegradable biopolymers such as polyester, polyanhydride, polyorthoester. By mixing microparticles with different wettabilities, swellabilities, release and biodegradation times, the most intense and longest immunological potentiation is achieved. This process is useful for immunising human beings and animals against diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa or tumour cells.

Abstract: A method for restoring traffic in a network. The network includes plural distinct nodes interconnected by plural distinct spans, each span having working links and spare links. Each node has a digital cross-connect switch for making and breaking connections between adjacent spans forming span pairs at a node. Step 1: For each of at least two possible span failures, (a) find the number of restoration routes available in case of the occurrence of each span failure, (b) determine the resources used by each restoration route, and (c) determine the amount of flow to be restored for each span failure. Step 2: find, in a computer, the amount of flow fP to be restored along each restoration route that minimizes total unrestored flow for all possible span failures identified in step 1. Step 3: form connections at each digital cross-connect switch in the network along each restoration route before occurrence of one of the possible span failures identified in step 1 to permit the amount of flow fP determined in step 2 to be carried by each respective restoration route upon the occurrence of one of the possible span failures identified in step 1.
