Abstract: A barrel assembly comprising a barrel (37); a plurality of projectiles (30) axially disposed within the barrel for operative sealing engagement with a bore (36) of the barrel; and a plurality of discrete propellant charges for propelling each projectile of the plurality of projectiles sequentially through a muzzle of the barrel (37). Each projectile of the plurality of projectiles includes a tapered anvil portion (31); a sealing portion (35) extending about the tapered anvil portion for sealing engagement with the bore (36) of the barrel (37) upon the projectile being inserted into the barrel before firing, the sealing portion being forwardly moveable relative to the tapered anvil portion for operative freeing from the tapered anvil portion and for providing a bypass passage between propellant charges. The tapered anvil portion (31) includes an anvil extension forming a spine (33) abutting the tapered anvil portion of a trailing projectile of the plurality of projectiles, whereby if the tapered anvil portion of the trailing projectile of the plurality of projectiles has an increased resistance to forward movement, the sealing portion (35) of the trailing projectile is urged to move forward along the tapered anvil portion by exposure of a rear face (38) of the sealing portion to respective ones of the plurality of discrete propellant charges for forward propulsion of the sealing portion (35) relative to the tapered anvil portion (31).

Abstract: In a gas-liquid separator wherein a high-pressure air introducing port (1a) and an air discharging port (1b) are provided respectively in lower and upper portions of a cylindrical container having a hollow chamber formed therein, provided are a blow guide plate (5) in the cylindrical container (1), with which air supplied from the high-pressure air introducing port (1a) collides, thereby changing the flow direction of the air, a conical receiving plate (6) having an opening formed at the center thereof in an upper portion of the hollow chamber to partition the hollow chamber into upper and lower hollow chambers, the upper hollow chamber partitioned by the conical receiving plate (6) which is communicated with the air discharging port (1b), and a partition (8) having a venthole formed therein and defining the upper hollow chamber disposed above the conical receiving plate (6) in opposed relation, the collision surface of the blow guide plate (5) being curved to follow an inner wall surface of the cylindrical container (1) or inclined to widen a flow passage toward the downstream side. With such a structure, liquefaction of moisture by collision with the surface, i.e., separation into gas and liquid, is efficiently performed, and energy loss caused upon subsequent change in the flow direction of the incoming air is reduced, resulting in that the gas-liquid separation can be achieved with high efficiency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil régulant le flux d'air dans la partie intérieure aux locaux d'un conditionneur d'air pendant une phase de chauffage de manière à uniformiser la distribution des températures dans le local sans donner l'impression de courants d'air. L'appareil comporte une soufflante (3) dont l'axe est dans le sens de la profondeur du boîtier soufflant l'air aspiré sur le côté frontal à l'extérieur dans le sens radial par rapport à l'axe, et un échangeur de chaleur (5) placé dans le boîtier sur le côté frontal de la soufflante (3). Le boîtier est muni d'une sortie d'air soufflant l'air de la soufflante (3) en haut, en bas, à droite, et à gauche.

Abstract: In a method for performing a phase comparison, and a phase comparator, two binary signals are compared using two functionally similar asynchronous state machines, which generate two output signals used for controlling a phase. A first state machine is fed a first signal to be compared, an output signal of a second state machine and a handshaking signal of the second state machine. The second state machine is fed a second signal to be compared, an output signal of the first state machine and a handshaking signal of the first state machine. The two state machines activate their respective handshaking signals after detecting activation of the signal to be compared. The handshaking signal ensures the logical operation of the phase comparator.

Abstract: The multifocal pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) has been adapted to detect visual field loss as a form of objective perimetry, with specific application to glaucoma. Multifocal pattern stimuli are cortically scaled and presented using a standard system. In order to effectively record the visual field responses, a unique array of bipolar occipital straddle electrode positions are employed, overlying the occipital visual cortex. Multi-channel VEP recording is then performed using these electrode positions. The responses are combined from the channels to produce a representation of the visual up to 25° of eccentricity. Analysis of results to detect early field defects is enhanced by asymmetry analysis between fellow eyes, and by a scaling algorithm to compensate for inter-individual variations. VEP objective perimetry corresponds well with subjective Humphrey visual field defects, showing loss of signal in the areas of visual field loss. Further, it shows reductions in areas of the visual field in glaucoma suspects where subjective testing is still within normal limits. This technique represents the first practical application of the multifocal pattern VEP to objective detection of visual field defects in glaucoma, and may have the potential for detecting disease at an earlier stage than conventional testing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for expanding cells for use in tissue engineering. In particular the method provides specific biochemical factors to supplement cell culture medium during the expansion process in order to reproduce events occurring during embryonic development with the goal of regenerating tissue equivalents that resemble natural tissues both structurally and functionally. These specific biochemical factors improve proliferation of the cells and are capable of de-differentiation mature cells isolated from tissue so that the differentiation potential of the cells is preserved. The bioactive molecules also maintain the responsiveness of the cells to other bioactive molecules. Specifically, the invention provides methods for expanding chondrocytes in the presence of fibroblast growth factor 2 for use in regeneration of cartilage tissue.
