Abstract: Eccentric-planetary gearings (1) for an articulation fitting of motor vehicle seats usually have a non-uniform and relatively high operating torque for varying the angular position of the backrest, and in the event of a crash the teeth of the pinion (2) and of the internally toothed ring (4) do not remain sufficiently in lateral engagement, or do not remain in engagement at all, as a result of which the holding function is reduced or completely cancelled out. In order to avoid these disadvantages, the webs (11 and 12) of the pinion (2) and internally toothed ring (4) are of elastically resilient design adjacent to their bearing areas by virtue of annular grooves (13, 14) which are pressed in on both sides, and the toothing bodies (2, 4) are guided axially on the bearing bolt (8) with a small degree of play and are held securely by means of securely seated equipment, a collar (18) and a skirt (9). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bit allocation method of a subband coding includes a first step of calculating a number of bits bf[m] needed for quantization for each block having q samples of each subband signal, a second step of selecting a subband jm having the largest needed number of bits bf[m], replacing needed number of bits bf[jm] with a value obtained by subtracting one from the needed number of bits bf[jm], replacing allocated number of bits ab[jm] with a value obtained by adding one to the allocated number of bits ab[jm], and replacing the available total number of bits TB with a value obtained by subtracting one from the total number of bits TB allocable to entire blocks, a third step of returning to the second step when available total number of bits TB is greater than or equal to one by checking the available total number of bits TB, and a fourth step of replacing the allocated number of bits ab[m] with a value obtained by subtracting one from the allocated number of bits ab[m], replacing the available total number of bits TB with a value obtained by adding the number of subbands K whose allocated number of bits ab[m] is one to the available total number of bits TB, and returning to the second step, when the presence of a subband whose allocated number of bits ab[m] equals one is checked under the state that the available total number of bits TB is below one. Thus, by single-bit incrementation during bit allocation, the hardware can be simplified.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detecting biological activity within a sample are disclosed. The present invention provides a combination of a first and a second infrared light source arranged on the side of a sample vial, and a first and a second narrow-band infrared detector similarly arranged on the side of the vial approximately opposite the sources. The disclosed arrangement cancels the sources of error while measuring the carbon dioxide content of the headspace gas above the sample. In operation, the present invention sequentially measures the photocurrents generated at each detector with no source turned on, with the first source turned on, and with the second source turned on and the first source turned off. The C0 2  absorption coefficient of the vial headspace gas is then calculated based on the photocurrents measured. This present invention allows compensation for source aging, detector aging, and vial wall thickness changes. Moreover, the present invention permits a determination of the absolute absorption coefficient at a selected wavelength, most preferably about 4.26 µm, which is the C0 2  absorption characteristic wavelength. The determination of the absolute C0 2  concentration within the headspace permits the detection of bacterial growth processes. Additionally, the disclosed source/detector combination can be produced at low cost. Thus, in preferred embodiments, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a plurality of vials that are simultaneously monitored by providing each of the plurality of vials with its own source/detector combination and activating and deactivating the sources and detectors using a multiplexer/demultiplexer arrangement.

Abstract: A method of producing a field effect transistor includes depositing a first insulating film (5) and a refractory metal film (6) on a semiconductor epitaxial substrate, forming a first aperture (5a) penetrating the first insulating film (5) and the refractory metal film (6), which aperture provides a gate electrode production region, forming a second insulating film (8) on the refractory metal film (6), etching the second insulating film (8) in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate leaving portions on opposite side walls of the first aperture (5a) to form a second aperture (8a), which second aperture provides a gate length, depositing a gate metal (13) on the whole surface of the substrate, and patterning the gate metal layer, the first insulating film, and the refractory metal film in a prescribed width to form a T-shaped gate structure (15). During etching the second insulating film (8), since the refractory metal film (6) serves as an etching stopper layer, the first insulating film (5) is not etched and its thickness remains as it is deposited. Therefore, the space between the over-hanging portion (15b) of the T-shaped gate electrode (15) and the source electrode (13a) increases with a reduction in the gate-to-source capacitance.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting tumor cell growth. Tumor cells from a pateint are recombinantly engineered to express the B7 surface protein and these cells are then readminsistered to the pateint. The presence of the B7 molecule on the tumor cell surface stimulates a broad immunologic response against both the B7-transfected and non-transfected tumor cells and results in the immunologic killing of localized and metastatic tumor cells. B7 transfection of the tumor cells, or cell membranes, serves as a stimulant to engender a potent immunologic response against the surface antigens present on the tumor cells.
