Patent EP-0854764-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A method of fabricating articles, such as prototype parts and prototype tooling for injection molding, is disclosed. The method begins with the fabrication of the article in a "green" state by the selective laser sintering, or another additive thermal process, applied to a composite powder, preferably a powder of metal particles coated with a thermoplastic polymer. Both the green article and also an aqueous emulsion of a thermosetting material are then preheated to a temperature below the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic polymer, and the green article is then infiltrated with the aqueous emulsion. The thermosetting material may be a thermosetting polymer with an appropriate cross-linking agent, or may be a cross-linking agent that will react with the thermoplastic binder polymer. After infiltration, the article is dried, and a rigid skeleton of a thermosetting material is now present within the structure of the article. Further processing may now be performed. The article may be heated beyond the decomposition temperature of the polymers so as to drive off the polymer and sinter the metal particles to one another; alternatively, a resin may be added to the article to form a metal-polymer composite article. High strength articles may thus be formed in a manner which preserves the dimensional accuracy of the article relative to its CAD representation.

Abstract: The method involves generating an illumination intensity dependent light control signal from an optical sensor, with a relevant change in the illumination intensity, during a limited measurement time period. The light control signal is used to control the switching on of an energy supply to the electric device, when at least one threshold value is exceeded. A predetermined illumination intensity threshold value is subtracted from the absolute measured intensity value. When the absolute value is greater than the threshold, the intensity difference is integrated during a first partial period in several steps into a respective current instantaneous relative illumination value. The relative value is compared with a first predetermined illumination limit value. When the actual value increases above the first limit value the temporal integration of the intensity signal is carried out. The illumination value obtained is compared to a second, higher limit value. When the value increases above the second limit value a control signal is generated which initiates the switching off of the energy supply to the electric device.

Abstract: A method for bending a component made of a thermoplastic material. The component involved is in particular a sleeve-shaped component for a personal care appliance such as a dental care apparatus or the like. For the component to be bent it is heated up to the plastic's softening point. The component is brought into engagement with a forming rail and, during a relative movement of the component and the forming rail, is bent against the forming rail by means of a bending tool. As this occurs, the engagement surface between the component and the forming rail varies continuously.

Abstract: The invention concerns an aid for climbing trees, poles and the like, which simplifies the climbing of a pole or tree in open line construction and forestry and serves as effective protection against falls. According to the invention, the person wears a security harness to which a support line (1) is attached. In contrast to known devices, this support line is guided along the side of the mast facing the person. A safety line (4) is linked into the support line (1) by means of carabiners (5) and is largely guided along the side of the pole opposite the person. If the person is in danger of sliding from the pole, then the support line is heavily loaded and thereby pulls together the loop formed by the support line (1) and the safety line (4), and the friction between the lines and the pole prevents a fall.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the position of a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a low-Earth orbit satellite communications system. The system includes a user terminal, at least one satellite with a known position and velocity, and a gateway (that is, a terrestrial base station) for communicating with the user terminal through the satellites. The method includes the steps of determining a range parameter and a range-rate parameter. A range parameter represents a distance between the satellite and the user terminal. A range-rate parameter represents a relative radial velocity between that satellite and the user terminal. The position of the user terminal on the Earth's surface is then determined based on the range parameter, the range-rate parameter, and the known position and velocity of the satellite.

Abstract: In a method for detecting a manipulation performed on digital information the erroneous determination of a manipulation during processing disturbances is prevented by subdividing the information into information subunits from each of which an identification is derived which is assigned to the respective information subunit. After processing the information subunits together with their identifications, potentially manipulated information subunits are determined on the basis of their identifications. This enables the whole of the information to be classified as manipulated if at least two information subunits which are correlated with respect to time or location have been determined to have been potentially manipulated.

Abstract: A bilinear decimator converts an input data sequence representing a high resolution image formed by N horizontal pixel lines to an output data sequence representing a lower resolution image formed by P horizontal pixel lines where N > P. The decimation ratio P/N can be any rational fraction. When the decimation ratio reduces to the form 1-(1/n), the decimator computes each output sequence data value as a simple weighted average of pixel data values for two vertically adjacent high resolution image pixels. When the decimation ratio is other than of the form 1-(1/n), the decimator adds additional terms to the computation of output pixel data values when necessary to compensate for aliasing errors.

Abstract: There is described a method of isolating nucleotide sequences encoding target peptides from DNA libraries using DNA binding proteins to link the peptide to the sequence which encodes it. DNA libraries are prepared from cells encoding the protein of interest, or from synthetic DNA, and inserted into, or adjacent to, a DNA binding protein in an expression vector to create a chimeric fusion protein. Incorporation of the vector DNA into a carrier package, during expression of the chimeric fusion protein, results in the production of a peptide display carrier package (PDCP) displaying the DNA-bound fusion protein on the external surface of the carrier package. Employment of affinity purification techniques results in the PDCP particles containing sequences encoding the desired peptide to be selected and the desired nucleotide sequences obtained therefrom.
