Patent EP-0628296-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZAHEDI MIR SAEED
IPC: A61F2/64
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: An adaptive control system for an artificial limb has a piston and cylinder assembly for controlling knee joint flexion, an electronically driven motorised valve for varying the damping effect of the assembly, a proximity sensor for sensing knee flexion, and a processor circuit for mounting on the limb. The system also has a radio receiver connected to the processor circuit and an operator control unit for remote transmission of command signals to the receiver. In a teach mode, the system allows an operator to increment the valve opening by remote control to optimise operation of the limb, and to cause the processor circuit to record selected valve openings in conjunction with average step period values which are produced automatically by the system during use of the limb. Recording a new selected valve opening causes the processor circuit on the limb automatically to calculate a set of control data relating valve openings to walking speed ranges. This set of control data is used in a playback mode of the system for automatically adjusting the valve opening during normal use of the limb.

Abstract: In a TFT liquid crystal display device using a DHF liquid crystal (11), the DHF liquid crystal (11) is alignable to a first alignment state in which liquid crystal molecules are substantially aligned to a first direction, to a second alignment state in which the liquid crystal molecules are substantially aligned to a second direction and to an arbitrary intermediate alignment state between the first and second alignment states, in accordance with a voltage applied between the pixel electrodes (3) and the opposing electrode (7). One of a pair of polarization plates (13, 14) has an optical axis set in substantially an intermediate direction between the first and second directions. The optical axis of the other polarization plate is set perpendicular to the optical axis of the former polarization plate. A plurality of pulses having voltages corresponding to a display gradation and whose polarities change frame by frame are applied to the DHF liquid crystal (11) for each pixel in the selection period of that pixel. A single pulse is applied to a pixel in a single frame.

Abstract: An electrical device is prepared with pre-mounted components with non-threaded wire insertion connection points. A first connection point is positioned in the wire application device's (25) operating region. A stripped wire (12) end is automatically mechanically applied to a contact zone for the first contact point. A second contact point is positioned at the operating region whilst the application device pays out a suitable length of conductor to avoid cable stress between the contact points. the wire is separated at a stripped region (18) to form an uninsulated insertion end for this contact point and a further insertion end for the next contact point. The first end is mechanically fixed in place and the process repeated until all desired connections are made to the component connection points.

Abstract: A method of making an article 10 comprises mounting a foam plastics core 12 on a support 18 and forming a sheet material 22 around the core. Suitably the softening point of the sheet material 22 is at least 100°C greater than that of the material of the foam core 12 so that the core and sheet material 22 become firmly bonded together during forming of the sheet material. The material of the core 12 is chosen such that it is resistant to collapse when exposed for short periods of time to temperatures considerably in excess of its softening point. A helmet 10 formed by the method preferably has an impact resistant shell 14 (provided by the sheet material 22) intimately conformed with and bonded to the core 12.

Abstract: Screening of a  Parietaria  pollen-λgt22 library with antisera to a 14-kDa pollen protein from  Parietaria  led to the identification of several cDNA clones encoding allergenic proteins. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these clones indicated that, on the basis of the sequence homologies, these clones may be classified to three groups; group I (PJ001) comprising seven isoallergens, group II (PJ002) comprising two isoallergens and group III (PJ003) with three isoallergenic variants. Four of these cDNAs were expressed in pCNAII vectors which bound to the murine antibodies. IgE binding assay with 15-residue peptides designed from the deduced sequences of one of the group I proteins revealed a dominant IgE-binding region which spanned two overlapping peptides, peptides #27 and #28. These peptides are conserved among all of the group I iso-allergens. Furthermore, a murine monoclonal antibody directed to a major  Parietaria-  allergen bound to peptide #28, suggesting that this peptide is recognized by mouse antibodies as well. In a splenocyte culture of mice immunized with Parietaria allergens, peptide #28 stimulated the production cytokines IL-2, IL-4 and IFN-γ, whereas, peptide #23 stimulated production of only cytokine IFN-γ. Furthermore,  Parietaria -specific antibodies were found in sera of North American subjects and these antibodies were shown to bind the 14 kDa  Par   j  I allergen. Accordingly, these recombinant  Parietaria  allergens are useful in both diagnosis and therapy of allergic diseases induced by  Parietaria  pollens.

Abstract: A hydraulically-actuated starting clutch (10) for a continuously variable transmission which is designed to reduce the centrifugal torque of the clutch with respect to the chain belt/sheave torque. This is accomplished by adjusting the diameters of the clutch piston (18) to reduce the resultant clutch torque to a value lower than the chain belt/sheave torque. A pair of oil feed passages (83, 84) are positioned in the clutch assembly to feed oil through openings (82) in the friction plate (78) at all times during operation, even when rotation of the friction plate ceases. Further, an improved retractor spring (64) is utilized in the clutch assembly (10) with circumferentially extending tabs (68) on its inner periphery (66) which extend over the snap ring (62) holding the spring onto the actuating piston (18) to prevent release of the snap ring due to centrifugal force during operation of the clutch.

Abstract: When a status transition occurs, case data are collected and a new control rule is generated based on those case data. A control rule memory can store a plurality of control rules. A plurality of control rules are selectively read out from the control rule memory, and combined in accordance with their adaptabilities into an application control rule. An error between a target value and a measured control quantity is applied to the application control rule, to thereby calculate a correction value of an operation quantity. An operation part of an image forming apparatus main body is controlled based on the correction value so that the control quantity becomes the target value.

Abstract: A center-line filter for a radar receiver (50) is a cascade of an analog filter (54A) and a digital filter (58A). The purpose of the filter cascade is to filter out all but a single line of a pulsed spectrum. The signal is passed through the analog filter, and then over-sampled by an analog-to-digital convertor (56A). A sharp cutoff FIR filter is used as the digital filter (58A) to eliminate the remaining undesired lines. since the analog filter already has the correct matched filter characteristic in the passband, the digital filter passband is deliberately wider and unsymmetrical. After digital filtering, the filter output is decimated by a decimation processor (60A) to provide a desired output data rate.

Abstract: Detergent compositions comprising aminodicarboxylic
acid-N,N-dialkanoic acid or its salt (component A) and a
synthetic surface active agent having microbial
degradability (component B). 
     In particular, in the case where an alkali salt of
polyoxyalkylene alkylether acetic acid or alkyl
polyglycoside is used as the surface active agent (component
B), the detergent compositions exhibit excellent washing
effect without forming metallic soap even in washing water
with high hardness, and also show high solubility even under
the condition of low water temperature, and have excellent
microbial degradability. Thus, the detergent compositions
are particularly suitable for washing fabrics. Further,
in the case where synthetic anionic and/or nonionic surface
active agent is used as the surface active agent (component
B), influence of corrosion to light metals is small.
Accordingly, the detergent compositions are suitable for
washing light metals, and also they have excellent foaming
property and therefore can be applied to foam cleaning.
