Abstract: A flexible and dual-chambered container includes a first frontal sheet fusion bonded to a first rear sheet to define a first chamber for containing, for example, a medical liquid. The first frontal sheet is a flexible and transparent sheet for intercepting water, moisture, and oxygen gas. The first rear sheet is a flexible composite sheet composed of aluminum foil and a water-absorbing stratum. A second frontal sheet is fusion bonded to a second rear sheet to define a second chamber for containing, for example, a medical liquid. The second frontal and rear sheets are joined to the first frontal and rear sheets so that the first and second chambers are isolated by a breakable or weak seal. An opaque and flexible cover sheet composed of aluminum foil is removably disposed on the first frontal sheet. When the weak seal is broken by manually compressing the second chamber, the first and second chambers are brought into liquid communication. Any residual amount of water or vapor can be eliminated from the container during manufacturing so that the dry drug contained therein is protected from oxygen, water, and light beams.

Abstract: There is provided a bearing sealing device capable of substantially completely preventing a leak of grease. A taper end portion (18) of an axial extension (16) of the bearing sealing device has an opposite surface (20) and a rake face (21) that forms a specified rake angle with the opposite surface (20). The opposite surface (20) forms a narrow passage (19) between the opposite surface (20) and an outer peripheral surface (2A) of an inner ring (2). The narrow passage (19) allows air to pass easily, but it allows grease to hardly pass therethrough. Further, the axial extension (16) includes part (11A) of a core metal (11) that extends axially and has its foremost end (11A-1) located axially inside an axial outermost end (2A-1) of the outer peripheral surface (2A) of the inner ring (2). Grease moving axially outwardly on the outer peripheral surface (2A) is moved along the rake face (21) of the taper end portion (18) and then guided along a cover portion (15) of the bearing sealing device to an outer ring (1). The part (11A) of the core metal (11) prevents the axial extension (16) from being bent radially outwardly by a centrifugal force.

Abstract: The possibility of corrupting digital data traffic carried by a data line (11, 12) (powered or unpowered), by the connection of a telephone test set to the data line (11,12) is effectively prevented by augmenting the telephone test set with a mechanism that prevents the test set from asserting an OFF-HOOK condition on the line, unless it has been determined that each of two conditions are satisfied. These conditions are: 1- that no digital data traffic is being carried by the line (11, 12); and 2- that the electrical voltage condition of the line (11,12) satisfies a prescribed minimum voltage level criterion. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, a switch circuit installed in the test set's connection path to the line is maintained in a default, open condition, so that it is effectively impossible for the line to be presented with an OFF-HOOK condition through operation of the test set. 
     This default condition remains in effect until both criterion are fulfilled. As a further safety precaution, should the line to which the test set is connected be determined to be carrying digital data traffic, the invention causes an audible alert tone to be generated as a warning signal to the craftsperson.

Abstract: A timing device (11,12,16) which is associated with a light level sensor (10) and which is arranged to provide a time-out signal to a relay (13) after a predetermined time has elapsed following detection of a low light condition and initial energisation of the relay. The device provides for synchronisation of an initiation time T 1  and, hence, a time-out signal generating time T 2  with respect to a periodically occurring event time T 3  (for example, sunset time) in order that the desired time of generating the time-out signal might be re-established following interruption of power to the device. Should loss of power occur, the last entered event time T 3  is employed to synchronise the initiation time T 1  and, hence, the signal generating time T 2 , when detection of a predetermined light level next occurs following re-establishment of power to the device.

Abstract: Procédé de xénotransplantation d'organes, de tissus, de cellules ou d'éléments non viables, ce qui limite ou empêche des rejets provoqués par des anticorps, y compris un rejet hyperaigu. Ce procédé consiste à préparer des animaux transgéniques exprimant au moins une enzyme masquant ou diminuant le niveau du déterminant antigénique de Galα(1,3)Gal et au moins un inhibiteur de complément, tel que CD59, DAF et/ou MCP. Ces animaux transgéniques exprimant à la fois une enzyme de diminution du déterminant antigénique de gal et un inhibiteur de complément posséderont des niveaux masqués ou diminués du déterminant antigénique de gal et seront beaucoup moins susceptibles de produire un rejet provoqué par des anticorps après la transplantation, et l'expression de l'inhibiteur de complément supprimera également l'activation du complément et limitera encore plus un risque de réaction immune grave après la transplantation d'organes, de tissus, de cellules et d'éléments non viables provenant de ces animaux transgéniques. De plus, l'invention concerne des animaux transgéniques exprimant une pluralité d'inhibiteurs de complément ou d'autres protéines provenant d'un locus de gènes au niveau d'un seul site d'intégration. L'invention présente des avantages résidant dans la production d'organes, de tissus, de cellules et d'éléments non viables xénogènes qui peuvent être transplantés efficacement et sans risques à l'homme et présentent une capacité de limitation ou d'élimination d'un rejet provoqué par des anticorps beaucoup plus importante qu'il n'était possible d'obtenir jusqu'à maintenant, ce qui diminuera considérablement la nécessité d'obtenir des organes, des tissus, des cellules ou des éléments non viables à partir de l'homme ou du primate.

Abstract: An adaptive trellis decoder (40) system employs a state transition trellis with a predetermined number of states for decoding a group of interleaved data packets. The trellis decoder system also accommodates data interruptions and transitions between different types of data. The system decodes groups of interleaved trellis encoded data packets with a single trellis decoder in response to a synchronization signal derived from the interleaved encoded data. The decoder (40) employs a state transition trellis with a predetermined number of states. The state transition trellis may be reset to a predetermined state in response to a detected synchronization interval in the encoded data. The decoder may also decode re-aligned data produced by removing intervening synchronization intervals from the interleaved encoded data, in response to a detected synchronization interval.

Abstract: A rack for supporting small articles or aligning wires. The rack may either be hung on a
vertical surface or seated on a horizontal surface. The rack includes an elongated housing with
an elongated entrance slot formed in its front wall. A multiplicity of retainer loops are
supported side-by-side on the elongated housing with their bight portions in front of the housing
to receive and support the small articles and to align the wires. The retainer loops are formed
with tails which hold them in the elongated housing and have slots which fit over a rib in the
housing to prevent twisting of the loops. The end of the rib may be enlarged to be received in
complementary shaped slots in the loops to increase pull out resistance of the retainer loops.
When small articles or wires are inserted between pairs of retainer loops, the tails of the loops
will slide along the rib to accommodate articles of varying cross sections while maintaining
essentially uniform pressure against the articles being held. The rack is formed so that it may be
supported by fasteners, suction cups or adhesive, including stick wax blocks of adhesive.
