Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé d'élimination aléatoire d'un paquet reçu dans une interface réseau haute performance, si la vitesse de transfert des paquets n'est pas adaptée à la vitesse d'arrivée des paquets. Un paquet sélectionné peut être supprimé à son arrivée dans la queue de paquets ou un paquet se trouvant déjà dans la queue peut être éliminé. La queue possède plusieurs régions définies dont certaines peuvent être juxtaposées ou peuvent partager une limite commune. Un indicateur de probabilité est associé à une région pour spécifier la probabilité d'élimination d'un paquet lorsque le volume de trafic dans la queue se situe dans cette région. Des indicateurs de probabilité peuvent différer d'une région à l'autre de sorte que la probabilité d'élimination d'un paquet fluctue en fonction du changement du volume de trafic restant dans la queue. On peut utiliser des informations recueillies dans un paquet pour empêcher l'élimination de certains types de paquets.

Abstract: A novel variant mRNA transcript of CD44 found in synovial cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is described. This novel transcript contains the known CD44 constant and variant exons but also comprises three additional nucleotides (CAG) that are transcribed from the end of the intron bridging Exon v4 to Exon v5 and are inserted at the 5' end of Exon v5. This extra CAG sequence results in the insertion of a new codon for the amino acid alanine. The novel CD44 transcript found to date in eighteen RA patients and not found in healthy (non-RA) individuals, is useful in the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and treatment of RA, of other diseases in which the variant CD44 transcript is involved and possibly in disorders and diseases which involve cells expressing other forms of the CD44 protein.

Abstract: A keyboard housing for a key array of a depressible-key keyboard. A parallel guide for multi-wide keys is configured in such a way in the keyboard housing that a swiveling crank arm is limited against longitudinal displacement at both ends and, by two support ribs, is positioned in a vertical direction that its position corresponds precisely to that of the depressed multi-wide key. If the complete set of keys is inserted into the housing and pressed as far as the end stop, the swiveling crank arm latches into snap-in apertures of the multi-wide key, thus becoming functional. The keyboard housing can be used for keyboards produced by automation.

Abstract: A device for trimming and automatically cutting of either multiple or single images is described produced for example through digital rendering on paper and other graphic and photographic substrates, wound in reel or being in single sheets (10), especially of large size. The problems met in using known devices of this type with feeding rollers (2) with a length corresponding to the substrate width have the consequence of a slowing down of the production owing to the excessive care to be taken when introducing at the same time parallel sheets of large size. These problems can be overcome by using rollers of reduced length, but only by adding errors in the forward movement of the substrate, errors which are remedied by means of optical sensors (4, 4') for detecting the separation mark (M) between the images (10a, 10b, .....) as well as its angle with respect to the cutting line (7), and by a pair of length differences measuring devices (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing rust-resistant, angular shot-blasting abrasives (>60 HRC) based on a Fe-Cr-C alloy. According to said method, a granulate consisting of an iron-chrome-carbon alloy is tempered to >60 HRC by subjecting it to a thermal treatment of greater than 900° Celsius in a reduced atmosphere. A stainless, hard material which can be reduced to angular granules is thus produced. This results in shot-blasting abrasives with excellent characteristics for treating the surface of workpieces consisting of stainless material, e.g. stainless steel, non-ferrous metal and natural stone.

Abstract: An electrical short stroke actuator, comprising an annular filed collar and a composite plunger for travelling therethrough. In its simplest form, the plunger comprises two permanent magnets with like poles facing, and which are housed within a thin walled tube, and separated by a central spacer. By judicious choice of the spacing of the magnets, and the length of the field coil, a substantially constant thrust profile is achieved over a pre-selected stroke of the field coil relative to the plunger. The thrust may be augmented by fabricating the means used for spacing the magnets wholly or in part from ferromagnetic material, and also adding collars, similarly fabricated, onto the outside face of each of the permanent magnets.
