Title: Operation control for multiple speed axle assembly of automatic drive train in motor vehicle, involves shifting multiple speed axle assembly at set reduction gear ratio when engine torque is low
Inventor: SZYMANSKI PETER
IPC: F16H61/70
Filed: 1999-12-29
Abstract: An electronic controller (20) enables a multiple speed axle assembly (14) to shift to a desired reduction gear ratio, when the output to be transmitted to the axle assembly from an engine (11) through the transmission (13) is made low. At low engine torque, a clutch (12) disconnects the engine from the transmission.  When the engine torque synchronizes with the estimated angular speed of the output shaft (13a) of the transmission, the clutch connects the engine to the transmission. The engine torque can be then raised.

Title: Traitement photodynamique transcutane de cellules cibles
Inventor: CHEN JAMES
IPC: A61P7/00
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et des composés destinés au traitement photodynamique de tissus ou de compositions cible chez un mammifère, lequel traitement utilise une source lumineuse émettant, de préférence, la lumière au niveau d'un site de traitement de façon transcutanée. La méthode consiste à administrer à un sujet une dose thérapeutiquement efficace d'une substance cible, c'est-à-dire soit un agent photosensibilisant cible, soit un système d'apport d'un agent photosensibilisant, soit un promédicament cible. De préférence, cette substance se lie sélectivement aux tissus cibles. On administre ensuite la lumière à une longueur d'onde ou une gamme d'onde correspondant à celle qui est absorbée par la substance cible. L'intensité de la lumière est relativement faible, mais on utilise une fluence totale élevée pour garantir l'activation de l'agent photosensibilisant cible ou du promédicament cible. La thérapie photodynamique transcutanée est utile pour traiter des tissus cible spécifiquement sélectionnés, tels que l'endothélium vasculaire, les parois vasculaires anormales des tumeurs, les tumeurs solides de la tête et du cou, les tumeurs du tractus gastro-intestinal, les tumeurs du foie, les tumeurs du sein, les tumeurs de la prostate, les tumeurs des poumons, les tumeurs non solides, les cellules malignes des tissus hématopoïétiques et lymphoïdes et autres lésions du système vasculaires ou de la moelle osseuse, ainsi que les tissus ou les cellules associés aux maladies autoimmunes et inflammatoires.

L'invention vise à empêcher de manière simple des dégradations des flancs de rainures dans ce type de piston. A cet effet, les flancs de rainures (4, 5) ou les flancs du segment (10, 11) sont, de préférence, courbés dans le sens radial, lorsque le piston est à l'état neuf. Cette courbure produit un contour qui correspond à celui d'un flanc de rainure après le rodage.

polymeric compound, an ion-conductive polymer electrolyte
composition of high ionic conductivity and high bond
strength which is composed primarily of an ion-conductive
salt and a polyelectrolyte-providing polymer made of the

Abstract: An electronic copy of a paper document, such as high school transcript, can be attached to an electronic document, such as an application for admission to an institution. The high school providing the paper document is required to have only a simple fax machine. When a student requests that a transcript accompany an electronic application, a request for the transcript is automatically generated by the applicaiton servicer and transmitted to the hight school. The request includes a return facsimile cover sheet that includes an identifier that can be automatically machine-interpreted when the cover sheet is transmitted back to the servicer with the transcipt. The identifier marking is sufficiently robust that it will be machine interpretable, even after rough treatment or serial copying and transmission by the high school. Upon receipt of the transcript facsimile, the servicer automatically interprets the identifying information on the return facsimile cover sheet to identify the student and the particular admissions application for which the transcript was requested. The transcript is forwarded preferably along with application to the appropriate institution after being converted, if necessary, to a data format specified by the institution. The servicer may also store the transcript in electronic form in a secure database for subsequent transmission for a different term or to different institution. Each facsimile cover sheet is preferably "branded" with the logo of the institution to which the student is applying, although the return facsimile number is preferably a toll free number to a computer facsimile server of the servicer. Thus, the servicer can be invisible to the high school.

Abstract: A technique for laser sculpting a predetermined shape on an exposed corneal surface by ablating a sequence of consistently curved craters with individual pulses of a laser beam. An initial laser beam energy pattern is shaped by a laser beam shaping element to make a consistently curved laser beam energy pattern. The consistently curved laser beam ablates a consistently curved crater in the surface with a single pulse of the laser beam. A computer controls the position of the laser beam and scans the laser beam over the surface to sculpt the predetermined shape in an ablation zone on the exposed surface. A sequence of partially overlapping craters is distributed over the ablation zone. In some embodiments diffractive optics are used as a beam shaping element. In additional embodiments, the consistently curved crater is a uniformly curved spherical crater.

Abstract: Control system for a communications network, wherein the control system contains network-control means and information-processing means. Through the quality-control means, a user may set a desired quality (UQS). Additionally, the quality-control means measures quality delivered (UQS') by the information-processing means and compares the two qualities, UQS and UQS'. By reference to a calculated comparison result, parameters are passed on to the network-control means in order to minimize a difference between the desired and delivered qualities. The quality-control means may comprise one or more user agents which may be set through the information-processing means and the communications network.

Abstract: A paint-charging device for charging a cartridge (25) with paint to
allow the paint to breathe during standby. The device comprises a
charging valve (61) for feeding/discharging paint fed to the paint storage
chamber (30) of the cartridge (25) attached to a charging block (52), and a
paint breath valve (91) for feeding/discharging push-out thinner to/from a
thinner storage chamber (31). The charging valve (61) is switched to the
discharge side to feed the push-out thinner from the paint breath valve
(91), thereby pushing out the paint in the paint storage chamber (30).
Further, the charging valve (61) is switched to the feed side to discharge
the push-out thinner from the paint breath valve (91), thereby feeding the
pain to the paint storage chamber (30). This allows the paint in the
cartridge (25) to perform a breathing action, preventing separation of the
pigment in the paint.
