Inventor: ELLINGER SYLVESTER MICHAEL
IPC: G01F23/292

Abstract: A liquid sensing apparatus for a fuel tank comprises optical sensors (12',62) contained in a housing (70), each sensor including a light source (24',66) such as an LED, and a light detector (26',68) such as a phototransistor. A prism (28',64) is optically coupled to each of the sensors (12',62). The prisms (28',64) being of different dimensions relative to each other. The light emitted by the light sources (24',66) will be refracted and returned to the light detectors (26',68). The amount of light refracted and hence detected by each of the detectors (26',68) will depend on the type and level of liquid in the tank and the output of the detectors (26',68) affected accordingly. The shapes and dimensions of the two prisms (28',64) are different, so that the first sensor (12') provides different outputs depending on whether it is exposed to (a) air or (b) fuel and the second sensor (62) produces different outputs depending on whether it is exposed to (a) air or water or (b) fuel. The outputs of the two sensors (12',62) are connected to a sensor circuit by a simple two wire connection. The circuit can provide a signal to indicate the type and the relative amount of each fluid in the tank.

Abstract: A threshold matrix is divided into a plurality of sub-matrices Tij of an equal size. The difference between a plurality of threshold data included in each sub-matrix Tij is set to a specific value while the plurality of threshold data are arranged at random in each sub-matrix Tij. In case that each sub-matrix is a 2x2 arrangement, there are eight diagonal patterns where two relatively small threshold data are arranged diagonally while two relatively large threshold data are also arranged diagonally. A threshold matrix having the sufficiently high spatial frequency and allowing smooth tone reproduction can be prepared by selecting one of the eight diagonal patterns at random. A plurality of threshold matrices for respective color separations thus prepared will reduce the graininess and muddiness of colors in a reproduced color image. A plurality of threshold matrices can be produced from one original threshold matrix by extracting part of the threshold matrix.

Abstract: Full-length cDNA clones have been isolated encoding purified augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) polypeptides prepared from the cytosol of livers from weanling rats and from humans. 
     The full-length clone from the rat is a 1226 bp cDNA containing an 81 bp 5'-untranslated region, a 594 bp coding region and a 551 bp 3'-untranslated region. The coding region encodes three proteins with estimated molecular weights of 15,081, 20,193 and 22,835. 
     The molecular weight of the purified rat ALR protein was determined by SDS-PAGE to be 15,000 in the reduced form and 30,000 in the non-reduced form, indicating that ALR is a homodimer in its native state. 
     The full-length clone from the human consists of a 727 bp cDNA containing a 4 bp 5'-untranslated region, a 615 bp coding region and a 108 bp 3'-untranslated region, including the termination codon TAG and the poly(A) region. The 615 bp coding region encodes four proteins, human ALR-V1, ALR-V2, ALR-V3 and ALR, having estimated molecular weights of 23,448, 20,834, 20,703 and 15,028, respectively. 
     The recombinant ALR produced by expression of the cDNA in cultured cells was tested in vivo in the canine Eck's fistula model and found to have a potency equivalent to the purified native ALR. The most obvious immediate clinical use for the augmenter of liver regeneration is in the treatment of hepatic failure.

Abstract: A cut sheet stacking system receives and stacks cut sheets in registry against intersecting registration surfaces. The system comprises a sheet support surface (16), and first and second planar registration surfaces (18,20) which extend upwardly from the sheet support surface (16) and intersect to form a 90  °  angle of intersection therebetween. A roller (22) having a flexible tab (24) is rotatably mounted above the sheet support surface (16) and is positioned to frictionally engage a topmost sheet of a stack (10) on the sheet support surface (16). The roller/tab (22,24) exerts a force on the topmost sheet in a direction that intersects the first and second planar registration surfaces (18,20) at their point of intersection (34) and, when rotated, imparts forces on the topmost sheet which directs it towards the intersecting first and second planar registration surfaces (18,20).

Abstract: In a connector including first and second insulators (14 and 23) opposite to each other in a first direction and first and second contact members (13 and 22) supported by the first and the second insulators, respectively, and opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first contact member has a pair of contact sections (13a) which are opposite to each other to have a gap left therebetween in the second direction. The second contact member has a single contact section (22a) which is inserted loosely between the pair of contact sections and has a flexible section making the single contact section be movable in the second direction. The first and the second contact members are contacted and separated to and from each other by a drive unit which causes a relative movement of the first and the second insulators in the second direction. In response to the relative movement in one direction of the second direction, the single contact section is brought in press-contact with both of the pair of contact sections.

Abstract: The entry and editing of position-sensitive data such as character strings is accomplished via a two-phase system. In the first or "definition" phase, position-sensitive data, which may be or include words or phrases, is identified. In addition, positional rules for formatting and/or substituting the data (such as text for each word or phrase) are either defined or selected from a pre-existing list. In the second or "edit/update" phase, the document being edited or updated is scanned to locate such position-sensitive data, which may include the words/phrases. The positional relationship between respective words/phrases or other data in a particular group is utilized to determine which rules to apply when modifying the document, in order to automatically reformat or substitute new data such as a new character string.
