Abstract: A flight control system provides a maximized mechanical advantage when the load of the airstream on the airfoil is also at a maximum. A control surface (24) is pivotally mounted for movement through a range of positions between a neutral position at which airstream load thereon is a minimum and upwardly and downwardly deflected positions, the airstream load being a maximum in either of the deflected positions. An operator mechanism for moving the control surface between the upwardly and downwardly deflected positions includes a rotor (28) mounted on the airfoil (22) for rotation about a chordwise extending rotary axis (30) and has a horn member (32) with a terminal end offset from the rotary axis (30). The terminal end (34) of the horn member (32) is slidably engaged with the guide track (36) and an actuator rotates the rotor (28) and, by reason of the slidable engagement of the horn member (32) with the guide track (36), moves the control surface (24).

Abstract: Extrusion of a mixture of an ester-substituted diaryl carbonate, such as bis(methyl salicyl) carbonate, a dihydroxy aromatic compound such as bisphenol A and a transesterification catalyst such as tetrabutylphosphonium acetate (TBPA) affords polycarbonate having a weight average molecular weight of greater than 20,000 daltons. The extruder is equipped with one or more vacuum vents to remove by-product ester-substituted phenol. Similarly, a precursor polycarbonate having ester-substituted phenoxy endgroups, for example methyl salicyl endgroups, when subjected to extrusion affords a polycarbonate having a significantly increased molecular weight relative to the precursor polycarbonate. The reaction to form a higher molecular weight polycarbonate may be catalyzed by residual transesterification catalyst present in the precursor polycarbonate, or by a combination of any residual catalyst and an additional catalyst such as TBPA introduced in the extrusion step. Fries rearrangement products are not observed in the product polycarbonates.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the manufacture of mineral wool fibres with a fiberising apparatus comprising rotating rotors, in order to form mineral melt into fibres. The first and second rotors of the fiberising apparatus rotating toward each other form an upper rotor pair, and the fiberising apparatus comprises at least one further rotor, advantageously a rotor pair, which is arranged below the upper rotor pair. Mineral melt is fed from a melting furnace or the like in the form of a melt jet toward a first position on the mantle surface of the first rotor, from where it is thrown out from the mantle surface of the first rotor in the form of a drop cascade toward the mantle surface of the second rotor. A first portion of mineral melt is formed into fibres at the second rotor and blown off the rotor, and a second portion of mineral melt is thrown out from the second rotor in the form of a drop cascade. The main portion of that drop cascade being thrown out from the second rotor is arranged to be thrown toward the mantle surface of the first rotor, toward a second position downstream from said first position on the mantle surface. A portion of mineral melt is formed into fibres at the first rotor and blown off the rotor.

Abstract: A motion estimation process improves coding efficiency by using a modified search criteria. The modified search criteria takes into account the error signal needed to encode a block of pixels as well as the motion data when selecting a matching block in a target frame. This approach reduces the combined overhead of both the motion and error signal data for the encoded block of pixels. When used in conjunction with a spiral search path in the target frame, the modified search criteria improves the speed of the search because it eliminates the need for an exhaustive search. A predicted motion vector is used to optimize the search location. Preferably the search order is selected so that target pixels closer to predicted point are searched before pixels farther away in the target frame.

Abstract: Disclosed is method for measuring a change in a cellular morphological parameter, for example, the position and/or the shape of a cell. The method comprises labelling a population of cells with a marker substance which is in a non-detectable state, but which may be caused to become detectable by exposure to light of a suitable first wavelength. By exposing a sub-population of labelled cells to light of an appropriate first wavelength in a predetermined pattern, the sub-population of cells may be defined in which the area covered by the sub-population conforms to the pattern of illumination used. Subsequent examination of at least a portion of the population of cells using illuminating light of a second wavelength selected to be suitable for detection of the marker, will reveal patterns of distribution of the marker substance indicative of a change in said cellular morphological parameter. Also described and claimed is a method for screening for a test agent whose effect on the cellular morphological parameter is to be determined.

Abstract: A cable assembly includes a cable having a core surrounded by a sheath. A cone element has an interior bore receiving the cable core, and has a tapered exterior surface. At least a portion of the cone is received within the cable sheath. A cup has a tapered bore receiving the sheath and the core. A portion of the sheath is captured between the exterior of the cone and the interior of the cup bore. Tension applied to the cable with respect to cup generates compression of the sheath between the cone and cup, and tension is thus transmitted by the sheath without application of radial force to the core. The sheath may include a strength member such as a braided metal wrap, and an elastic jacket, so that the wrap bears the tension, and the jacket returns the sheath to its normal length upon cessation of tension.
