Abstract: A modular plug and multi-pair cable assembly provides reduced near-end crosstalk between two signal pairs of the cable. A modular plug has a plurality of wire-receiving passages disposed in first and second planar arrays spaced one above the other, with the passages of one planar array being staggered in position with respect to the passages of the other planar array. An end of a first wire of each of two signal pairs is received in respective wire-receiving passages of the first planar array and an end of a second wire of the two signal pairs is received in respective wire-receiving passages of the second planar array. A first pair plane in which the wire ends of the first signal pair are situated intersects a second pair plane in which the wire ends of the second signal pair are situated. In this manner crosstalk between the two signal pairs resulting from magnetic and electric field coupling is reduced.

Abstract: An interactive cable television system utilizes a standard cable television distribution network for simultaneously providing a plurality of viewers with an interactive television program comprising a plurality of signals related in time and content. Video signals (1) are transmitted in a digital format, more than one signal being multiplexed onto a data stream on a single channel. The video signals (1) may be compressed for efficiency. A receiver (7), in conjunction with a signal selector (8), selects a particular NTSC channel for playback, then selects a particular video signal from the data stream, and decompresses the video signal for playback. Seamless switching between video signals on different channels is provided. In an alternative embodiment, the various signals which comprise the interactive program are switched at the head end (300) rather than at the receiver (7). The multiple choice control unit (9) selects a desired signal by relating the multiple choice selections of the user through a relay box (17) back to a remotely located switching station. The switching station routes the correct video signal down the appropriate cable channel for the particular user. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical industry and relates to novel monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof which are bound to the available surface of a human recombinant TNF- alpha , TNF- alpha  analogues and TNF- alpha  soluble receptors p55 and p75. Further, the invention relates to stable hybridoma cell lines, which lines are capable of producing such monoclonal antibodies, to a process for the preparation thereof and to pharmaceutical preparations containing them. The invention also relates to a method for the quantitative determination of human TNF- alpha , free or complexed with soluble TNF- alpha  receptors p55 and p75, and to a kit used therefor. By hitherto disclosed monoclonal antibodies and reagents developed therefrom, it has not been possible to simultaneously determine free TNF- alpha  and its soluble receptors p55 and p75 as well as complexes thereof. Another object of the invention is also the TNF- alpha  analogue TNF- alpha  Cys95His107His108Cys148, which in a complex with TNF- alpha  soluble receptors, is used as an antigen for immunization of mice.

Abstract: Dispositif et procédé concomitant pour générer un message pour affichage sur l'écran (ASE) par la construction d'un train binaire ASE déterminant une pluralité de pixel de couleur vraie ('True Color'). Le train binaire ASE contient un en-tête ASE et des données ASE. Une unité ASE extrait une information de commande de pixel de l'en-tête ASE programmée par le processeur d'un système de décodage/affichage. L'en-tête ASE contient une information qui est utilisée pour programmer une palette de couleurs de l'unité ASE et pour fournir des instructions relatives au traitement des données ASE. Si le mode à couleurs vraies est activé dans l'en-tête ASE, l'unité ASE ignorera la palette et traitera les données ASE en pixels de couleurs vraies. Etant donné que les paires de pixels successifs présentent les mêmes composantes de chrominance, chaque ensemble successif de quatre multiplets de données ASE représente les niveaux de chrominance et de luminosité réels pour deux pixels ASE.

Abstract: Here is a novel arrangement connecting melt channels, especially the hot distribution channels (1) of a pressure injection mould. The channels (3, 4, 5) lead to mould cavities or to hot channel injection nozzles used with the mould. Where two melt channels intersect, the new connection (8) superficially resembles a static plug valve. It is formed by a rotationally-symmetrical plug-like component with end face(s). One channel connects to an end face, the other to the conical or cylindrical side wall of the plug. The channels are extended as bores (16, 23) within the plug, which terminate and join at their intersection. Flow may take place through the plug in either direction. In this novel design, the plug is clamped so as to exert high sealing pressures over both the end face and the side wall.

Abstract: A transmission for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a multi-speed geartrain (42) and power transfer mechanism (44) incorporated into a common housing assembly (45). The multi-speed geartrain includes a input shaft (46), a mainshaft (48), and a plurality of constant-mesh gearsets arranged for selectively coupling the mainshaft (48) to the input shaft (46) for driven rotation at various speed ratios. The mainshaft (48) can be selectively coupled to the power transfer mechanism (44) for establishing two alternative power transmission routes. In particular, a range shift mechanism (58) is provided for establishing a high-range power transmission route and a low-range power transmission route from the mainshaft (48) to the input of an interaxle differential (60). The torque delivered to the interaxle differential (60) is split between the front (32) and rear (38) drivelines to establish a full-time four-wheel drive mode. As an option, a transfer clutch (200) is provided for automatically controlling slip and torque biasing between the outputs of the interaxle differential (60). A lock-out clutch (184) is provided for permitting the interaxle differential (60) to be locked for establishing a locked four-wheel drive mode. As a further option, a mode clutch can be provided for permitting one of the drivelines to be selectively disconnected from the transmission for establishing a two-wheel drive mode.

Abstract: According to the method for preparing frothed milk or café crème, milk concentrate or coffee concentrate is mixed with water, using a venturi chamber. The venturi chamber comprises a water inlet (56a), a concentrate inlet (54a) and an outlet (88a). Further, a whirl chamber, located downstream of the venturi chamber, is used, which is in fluid communication with the outlet. The water is supplied under pressure via the water inlet to the venturi chamber, so that a reduced pressure is created in the venturi chamber. The concentrate inlet is brought into fluid communication with a stock of milk or coffee concentrate, so that, as a result of the reduced pressure in the venturi chamber, via the concentrate inlet, milk or coffee concentrate is sucked into the venturi chamber. The milk or coffee concentrate and the water then flow together via the outlet to the whirl chamber, and the milk or coffee concentrate and the water are beaten in the whirl chamber to form frothed milk or café crème. <IMAGE>

The mobile pipe is axially displaced until it is in the right position for connection between a seal on each end. Operating devices purge the fluid from the seal, and the two ends of the pipe are then screwed into their final connected position.
