Title: Method and device for measuring the height of the cutting table
Inventor: LANGKJAER CARSTEN
IPC: G01S15/10
Filed: 1997-01-29
Granted: 1999-12-01
Abstract: A method for measuring the height of the cutting table of an earth-processing implement or an agricultural implement, such as, for example, a combine harvester, relative to a surface of a ground having crops by means of an acoustic transducer arrangement. The method includes forming the sound signal emitted by the transducer arrangement by a pseudonoise signal covering a predetermined frequency band. Comparing the sound signal with the reflected signal. Mutually delaying the sound signal and the reflected signal until the comparison has reached its optimum. Whereafter, the delay represents a measurement of the distance to the surface of the ground.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de moulage par injection constitué d'une pluralité de presses à injecter (10), telles que des presses de moulage à transfert destinées à l'encapsulage des circuits intégrés. Ces presses à injecter sont montées sur une table rotative (70) à calage angulaire. Des postes stationnaires de chargement et de déchargement (60, 62, 64) sont disposés autour de la table en des positions angulairement séparées de façon à permettre le chargement d'un insert dans les cavités des moules et le déchargement d'un insert depuis les cavités des moules, le chargement d'une préforme de matériau de moulage et le déchargement d'un produit moulé lorsque les presses à mouler se présentent successivement dans l'alignement des différents postes. Un régulateur (80) accompagnant la rotation des presses à injection (10) permet de commander individuellement les fonctions de chacune des presses à injection, telles que l'ouverture et la fermeture des presses ainsi que la température et la pression régnant dans les moules. Un autre régulateur équipant un panneau de commande stationnaire permet par exemple de commander les fonctions des postes fixes et de recevoir des entrées fournies par un utilisateur, une communication étant établie entre les deux régulateurs.

Abstract: Method for the manufacture of a steel strip, wherein molten steel is cast into a slab, conveyed through a furnace, roughed in a roughing apparatus and finish-rolled in a finishing apparatus. The method comprises an endless or semi-endless process having either step a or step b, wherein a and b respectively comprise (a) manufacturing a ferritically rolled steel strip, wherein the slab is rolled in the roughing apparatus in the austenitic range and then cooled to a ferritic structure, and wherein the strip is rolled in the finishing apparatus at speeds essentially corresponding to the entry speed into the finishing apparatus, and (b) manufacturing an austenitically rolled steel strip, wherein the strip leaving the roughing apparatus is heated to the austenitic range and is rolled in the finishing apparatus and then cooled down to the ferritic range. In both step a and b, there is no material connection between the steel in the continuous casting machine and the steel being rolled in the finishing apparatus, and the strip is fed from the roughing apparatus to the finishing apparatus without intermediate storage. Additional steps include cutting the ferritically or austenitically rolled strip, after reaching the desired finished thickness, to portions of the desired length, and coiling the cut portions.

Abstract: Fibrous cellulose materials useful in the manufacture of soft, absorbent paper products such as paper towels, facial tissues, and toilet tissue are disclosed. The paper products contain a vegetable oil based quaternary ammonium chemical softening compound. Examples of preferred vegetable oil based quaternary ammonium chemical softening compounds include diester di(oleyl)dimethyl ammonium chloride (DEDODMAC) (i.e., di(octadec-z-9-eneoyloxyethyl)dimethyl ammonium chloride) derived from canola oil and/or high oleic safflower oil. Variables that need to be adjusted to maximize the fluidity of vegetable oil based acyl groups include the cis/trans isomer ratio or the Iodine Value (IV) of the fatty acyl groups. The tissue softness is further enhanced by controlling the purity of the fatty acyl groups and the di-substituted versus mono-substituted long chain hydrocarbyl substituent ratio in the quaternary ammonium compounds.

Abstract: Conventionally, in image processing using a smoothing filter, the large amount of calculation for 25 x the number of pixels takes much processing time. A computer 21 as the nucleus of image processing determines whether or not a pixel of interest is a color blur pixel, based on the intensity of a low-density element color, at steps S130 and S140. If the pixel is a color blur pixel, the computer 21 determines whether or not the color blur pixel is an edge pixel at step S150. If the pixel is not an edge pixel, the computer 21 uses a smoothing filter at step S152, while if the pixel is an edge pixel, the computer 21 uses a median filter at step S154, in image processing to reduce the color blur. This reduces the amount of calculation and realizes high-speed image processing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The APC tumor suppressor protein binds to  beta -catenin, a protein recently shown to interact with Tcf/Lef transcription factors. Here, the gene encoding a Tcf family member that is expressed in colonic epithelium (hTcf-4) a was cloned and characterized. hTcf-4 transactivates transcription only when associated with  beta -catenin. Nuclei of APC-/- colon carcinoma cells were found to contain a stable  beta -catenin-hTCF-4 complex that was constitutively active, as measured by transcription of a Tcf reporter gene. Reintroduction of APC removed  beta -catenin from hTcf4 and abrogated the transcriptional transactivation. Constitutive transcription of TCF target genes, caused by loss of APC function, may be a crucial event in the early transformation of colonic epithelium. It is also shown here that the products of mutant APC genes found in colorectal tumors are defective in regulating  beta -catenin/Tcf-4 transcrpitional activation. Furthermore, colorectal tumors with intact APC genes were shown to contain subtle activating mutations of  beta -catenin that altered functionally significant phosphorylation sites. These results indicate that regulation of  beta -catenin is critical to APC's tumor suppressive effect and that this regulation can be circumvented by mutations in either APC or  beta -catenin.
