Abstract: A self-forming socket having a plurality of retractable pins (16) bundled in parallel within a housing (20). The bundled pins may displace longitudinally and are biased by spring force away from a frame (20) on which the pins are slidably held. A spacer pin (30) may be positioned at the centre of the socket and is similarly biased away from the frame under spring force. When the socket is forced over a fastener, nut, or bolt head, groups of pins are pushed inwards towards the frame and into the housing thereby conforming the pins to the contours of the fastener. Each pin has a circular cross-section and the interior walls of the housing containing the bundled pins has a hexagonal shape and does not contain any right angles. The pins are packed in a hexagonal arrangement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Plusieurs modulateurs d'électroabsorbtion optiquement montés en cascade sont électriquement polarisés pour produire un signal optique multiplexé par répartition dans le temps (OTDM). Le signal optique introduit dans le premier modulateur en cascade est sensiblement un faisceau lumineux non pulsé. En fonctionnement, chacun des modulateurs est normalement polarisé pour laisser passer la lumière, l'information est représentée par une brève interruption du passage de la lumière, ce qui injecte des impulsions obscures dans la lumière. Entre les impulsions, la lumière reste intacte et disponible pour d'autres modulations dans les modulateurs suivants. Chacun des modulateurs peut donc être monté de façon à créer un canal de données spécifique à l'intérieur du signal OTDM pris dans sa totalité.

Abstract: An optical beam in a scanning device is focused on an information layer of a multi-layer optical record carrier. A focus control circuit keeps the focal point of the beam on the information layer. When the focal point jumps to another information layer, the focus control circuit does not monitor the so-called central aperture signal in order not to depend on the presence of information in the information layers. During the jump the characteristics of the feedback loop of the focus control unit are modified to avoid instabilities in the movement of the focal point during the jump. When the focal point is captured on the designated information layer, the characteristics of the feedback loop are restored.

Date Jul. 10, 1997A method and receiver for identifying data transmission rate from a signal which has several transmission rate alternatives. The signal contains modulation symbols (201 to 206) which are formed as a vector and which are submatrices of a known, essentially orthogonal transform matrix selected on the basis of a combination of bits to be transmitted. A correlation is formed between a received modulation symbol (201 to 206) and the known modulation matrix, as a result of which correlation vectors (301 to 306) are produced, each correlation vector being composed of correlation values (311) which are used to detect the signal. By utilizing the correlation values (311) of one or more correlation vectors (301 to 306), an estimate (556) is formed for each data transmission rate representing the probability of the data transmission rate of the signal, and the estimates (556) are used to select the most probable data transmission rate to be used for detecting the signal.

Abstract: The method involves first performing measurements on a real vehicle to gain measurement values relating to the vehicle performance. A continuous check is made to determine whether prescribed trigger conditions, i.e. constellations of specific measurement values are fulfilled. If these conditions are met at least an assessment parameter (Dr) is calculated, which expresses the driveability of the vehicle, from one or more measurements based on a preset function and recording the assessment parameter. The function to derive the assessment value can be generated by statistical means from evidence provided by test personnel regarding the driveability and performance of the vehicle.

Abstract: A porcine adipocyte-specific polypeptide, termed leptin, is expressed in the fat tissue of pigs. Expression may be altered in over fat pigs, or expression may be in the form of a protein of lesser biological activity relative to that of leaner pigs. The porcine adipocyte polypeptide, DNA and RNA molecules coding therefor, methods for its preparation, and antibodies specific for the polypeptide are disclosed. Methods for determining the susceptibility of a pig to fat deposition are based on measuring the levels of the porcine adipocyte polypeptide in a biological fluid or tissue extract or by measuring mRNA encoding the porcine adipocyte polypeptide in cells of the subject. Methods of evaluating an agent related to the deposition of fat in swine comprise contacting the agent with an adipocyte in vitro and measuring the amount of the porcine adipocyte polypeptide or mRNA that is produced by the adipocyte. Methods of limiting fat deposition include administering porcine leptin or porcine leptin DNA, and methods of regulating intake include administering porcine leptin, porcine leptin DNA, or an antibody directed against porcine leptin.
