Abstract: A human lens epithelial cell line capable of expressing an exogeneous immortalizing gene, which is established without infecting with a live virus. A method for producing the human lens epithelial cell line, which comprises transfecting human lens epithelial cells with an expression vector functionally carrying an exogeneous immortalizing gene, and subculturing said cells in a medium. The above-mentioned human lens epithelial cell line wherein the cells proliferate in a temperature sensitive manner. A method for producing a temperature sensitive human lens epithelial cell line, which comprises transfecting human lens epithelial cells with an expression vector functionally carrying an exogeneous immortalizing gene, and subculturing said cells in a medium. Since the human lens epithelial cell line of the present invention is free of infection with a live virus, the cells are useful as biomaterials. Moreover, since the temperature sensitive human lens epithelial cell line of the present invention stops proliferation at about 36°C or above, it may be used as a biomaterial for regenerating a human lens.

Abstract: The damper has an electro-viscous fluid in two chambers (42,44) separated by one of more pairs of electrodes (36,38) between which is applied a variable electric field. The strength of the field controls the viscosity of the fluid and hence alters the damping characteristic of the system. The damper includes springs (22) to separate the two mounting surfaces (10,20) of the damper. The electrodes can be a pair of parallel conducting plates with fluid apertures. Alternately concentric ring electrodes can be used, with alternate electrodes connected to one side of the electrical supply, and with insulated spacers to define the aperture between the two chambers. The fluid system is contained inside a flexible housing to allow movement between the mounting plates.

Abstract: A bar code error scanner (10) scans printed bar
codes (12) comprising bars (12a) and spaces (12b) of
varying widths which are multiples of a minimum width
module. The scanner obtains a bar code signature (20s)
indicative of a sequence of characters. If the printing
of the bar code is faulty adjoining bars and spaces will
include fractions of the minimum width module. An error
detector (22a) detects such fractional widths and an
error corrector (22c) adjusts the bar signature by
increasing the width of the adjoining bar and decreasing
the width of the adjoining space to correct for the
faulty printing. The corrected bar code signature (22a)
is then decoded in a decoder (22). An error log (22b)
may be provided in which multiple scans are stored to
accumulate the errors and ensure their verification. A
subsequent scan can then be compared with the log to
obtain a match.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and
methods are described which produces ultrasonic
images from harmonic echo components of a transmitted
fundamental frequency. Preferably, a programmable
digital filter is used to pass harmonic echo
components for image processing to the exclusion of
fundamental frequency signals. In a preferred
embodiment, artifacts are removed by producing
decorrelated replicas of the harmonic signals, which
are then combined and used for imaging. To produce
an image in the presence of depth dependent
attenuation of high frequency echo signals, both
fundamental and harmonic echo signals are processed
and used to produce an image blended from components
of both fundamental and harmonic echo signals.

same is disclosed, in which branch prediction is effected
in response to the type of program in which branching
instructions are contained. A fetch unit (26) includes a
branch target buffer (56) and a plurality of pattern
history tables (53). Select logic (80) receives signals
indicating, for each branching instruction, the type of
program containing the instruction, and selects one of

prediction code in response to a portion of a branch
history field (BH) in an entry of the branch target
buffer (56) corresponding to the instruction address.
Disclosed examples of the signals used in selecting the
pattern history table (53) include an indication (U/S) of
the privilege level (e.g., user-level or supervisor-level)
of the instruction. In the event of a task
switch, the contents of one or more of the pattern
history tables (53) may be stored in the task state
segment (90) corresponding to an interrupted task, with
the pattern history tables (53) loaded with entries from
the task state segment of the new task. In this way,
each task may maintain its own branch pattern history-based
prediction information when microprocessor is
operated in a multitasking environment.

Abstract: A rotary valve system which includes of a pair of valve assemblies (D, E) each of
which has valve parts with flat faces which, when pressed together and rotated,
provide valving action between various ports incorporated in one valve part of each
assembly. The first valve part of each assembly contains a circular array of through
openings, each of which is connected to a conduit. The second valve part of a first
assembly or of each assembly contains several passages which provide
communication between various openings of the first valve part and valve apertures
located in the second valve part of each assembly. The second valve part of the first
assembly also contains one or more passages which provide communication between
members of one or the other array of openings. The valve system can be effectively
used to automate operation of a gas or liquid adsorption system comprising two or
more adsorption vessels, the number of vessels being equivalent to the total number
of openings in either array. Use of the valve assembly in an adsorption system
eliminates the need for many of the valves required in conventional multivessel
adsorption systems.

Abstract: An encrypting exponentiation modulo M is effected by a modular multiplication X*YmodM, where M is a temporally steady but instance-wise non-uniform modulus. The method involves an iterative series of steps. Each step executes one or two first multiplications to produce a first result, and a trim-down reduction of the size of the first result by one or more second multiplications to produce a second result. The method furthermore takes a distinctive measure for keeping the final result of each step below a predetermined multiplicity of the modulus. In particular, the method postpones substantially any subtraction of the modulus as pertaining to the measure to a terminal phase of the modular exponentiation. This is possible through choosing in an appropriate manner one or more parameters figuring in the method. This further maintains overall temporal performance.
