Abstract: Spaced pins (60) for supporting and aligning an encoder strip
(33) for a printer. Apertures (61,62) in
the strip (33) engage the pins (60) with no fastening. The strip (33)
― best a transparent member (33p) and glued strength
member (33m) ― is end-mounted and -tensioned.
The pins (60) prevent the strip (33)
from leaving the sensor (133) and permit use of very low tension
― only that needed to hold up the strip (33), within its
vertical-alignment tolerance, over a short span between pins (60).
The tension, and thereby the vertical-dimension stack from
encoder scale to sensor (133), are thus made virtually independent
of encoder-strip length.

Abstract: For reflow soldering, radiant heating is applied to one
surface of a printed circuit board on which electronic
components are placed and onto which cream solder is supplied
and at the same time hot air is blown locally and roughly
perpendicular to to-be-connected points on said one surface of
the printed circuit board. This reflow method permits secure
soldering even if the hot air is set at a temperature not
exceeding the heat resistance of the electronic components,
which is possilbe because of its combination with the radiant
heat. Moreover, this reflow method can permit soldering in
such a manner that only the to-be-connected points are heated
selectively, because the hot air is blown locally and roughly
perpendicular to the points to be connected. Thus, this reflow
method prevents heat damage to other sections than the to-be-connected
points and ensures that the solder at the to-be-connected
points is melted.

Abstract: The RF input signal to be relayed is converted in
frequency by a down-converter (1) from RF band to IF
band, and is converted into digital signal by an AD
converter (2), and is further transformed into a
complex baseband OFDM signal by a quadrature
demodulation circuit (3). A compensation amount
detector (4) feeds the signal from the quadrature
demodulation circuit (3) into a delay unit (41), and
delays according to the instruction from a delay
controller (42), and a correlation detector (43)
detects the correlation before and after the delay, and
it is integrated in an integrator (44), and put into a
compensation amount operator (45). This compensation
amount operator (45) determines the delay time control
signal from the output of the delay controller (42),
and operates the compensation signal showing the
amplitude and phase compensation component as its
reverse characteristic from the output of the
integrator (44). The delay time control signal and
compensation signal obtained herein are sent into a
compensator (5), in which the undesired wave components
due to circulating of relay output or multipath are
eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to inducible viral replicons as
regulatable live-attenuated vaccine candidates. In particular, it
relates to the HIV-rtTA replicon whereby, aiming for regulated
expression of the replicon, the rtTA gene has been inserted into the
HIV1-Nef gene (i.e. under control of Nef regulatory elements), the TetO
elements have been inserted into one or either LTRs, and the NF-Kappa-B
sites of said LTRs have of have not been mutated. Aiming for further
attenuation, the TAR hairpin and eventually also the Tat gene have been
mutated. A conditional cytotoxic gene (e.g. HSV-tk) can eventually also
be inserted into the replicon to provide for improved biosafety. Said
replicon is intended to be used as live-attenuated HIV1 vaccine, but
forced evolution (i.e. genetic drift of HIV due to the relatively poor
fidelity of HIV1 RT) could be used to improve the present mutants, as
well as to select for modified/improved rtTA-TetO regulatory systems.

Abstract: A process for producing water that reduces the fat
content of a human liver when consumed. This water is the
product of a multi-step process comprising a plurality of
separate batch processes, wherein each successive process
yields a product with a higher affinity to fat than the
product yielded from the previous process. The first
process comprises the passage of an electric current
through water without the presence of electrolytes, which
yields water with a higher affinity to fat. The resulting
water is then placed into a series of batch energiser
reactors, wherein the water is successively irradiated with
far infrared light in each batch reactor for a specified
resident time period, each successive reactor yielding a
product with a higher affinity to fat. Receivers at each
batch reactor allow the water to be properly drained from
the reactors. Water with a higher affinity to fat retains
the fat and prevents it from absorbing into the liver.

Abstract: Mobile phones now transmit video signals to each other. Such video signals are
transmitted at a relatively slow bit rates. The signals transmitted are compressed using
inter-frame prediction where sufficient similarity exists between successive picture frames.
The receiver includes a decoder (18) which acts to reconstitute the compressed signals
received using signals stored on a buffer (22) representing a previous picture frame. A
mode decision circuit (24) compares the signal at the output of the decoder (18) with the
previous signal stored in the buffer (22) and using the same decision criterion as used for
the original compression generates a signal which indicates that either the signal is suitable
for inter-frame prediction or not. This signal is then compared in a comparator (26) with
the signal in the decoder (18) indicating whether or not the current signal was inter-frame
predicted or not. If equality is not detected, then an error may have taken place. Then,
error concealment techniques can be used to reduce the effects of the errors.

Abstract: An optical pickup apparatus capable of reducing cross
talk between adjacent tracks, includes a photodetecting
means (18) for dividing a single light beam reflected from
the recording medium into a center portion (A) and side
portions (B/C) with respect to the radial direction of the
recording medium (10) and receiving the incident light in
the divided form; and an operation unit (20) for
multiplying the signals of the side portions by an
operation constant (K) and adding the results and the
detected signal of the center portion (A), and outputting
an information signal of a main track. Such an optical
pickup apparatus can, in real time, detect the information
signal of the main track whilst reducing cross talk from
adjacent tracks, and since the optical efficiency of the
single light beam spot formed on the main track is not
lowered, recording of an information signal can be
performed with the optical pickup apparatus.

Abstract: A belt tensioner for a motor vehicle engine comprises a pivot shaft and an eccentric pivoted structure mounted for pivoted movement on the pivot shaft. The belt tensioner has a rotatable pulley member mounted for rotation on the eccentric pivoted structure. A spring is constructed and arranged to bias the eccentric pivoted structure in a direction tending to force the rotatable pulley member into tensioning engagement with a belt trained about the pulley member. A mounting bolt is constructed and arranged to mount the belt tensioner on the motor vehicle engine, said pivot shaft being movable relative to said mounting bolt and towards said belt during a belt tensioner installation procedure. A linear guiding structure provides surfaces of interengagement between said belt tensioner and said motor vehicle engine to limit movement of the pivot shaft to linear movement toward the belt during the installation procedure. The present invention also relates to a method of installing a belt tensioner in which the pivot shaft moves in a substantially exactly linear fashion as the tensioner is moved into tensioning engagement with the belt. In a preferred embodiment, when the belt tensioner is moved into tensioning engagement with the belt, an external force is applied to the tensioner to balance any belt load forces tending to tilt the tensioner during installation. The present invention also discloses a tensioner that has contact portions that oppose the tilting force applied by the belt during installation, and a portion that extends beyond the contact portions to facilitate installation.
