IPC: H01P5/107
Filed: 1998-09-21
Abstract: A transition (38) is provided for interfacing a coplanar waveguide (16) with a three
dimensional microwave waveguide (28). The transition includes three coplanar
conductors (42, 46, 48) that are formed integrally with and extend from the coplanar
waveguide. The transition extends into the microwave waveguide through a slot (34),
with the plane of the transition being perpendicular to the direction of
propagation (32) of the electric field in the waveguide. The center conductor of the
transition is a patch (42) whose width increases. The other two conductors (46, 48) are
attached to the side conductors (20, 22) of the coplanar waveguide and to the exterior (30) of
the waveguide. They flank the patch and have curved edges (56, 60) complementary to
those (54,58) of the patch. The gaps (50, 52) are initially narrow, and become wider gradually.
Further, as each guide steers the electric field while changing direction by 90°, it
rotates the orientation of the electric field vector by the same amount.

Abstract: An aqueous adjuvant composition comprising an attenuated lipid A derivative and a surfactant or surfactants enhances the immunological response in a warm blooded animal to a protein antigen. Attenuated lipid A derivatives useful according to the subject invention include monophosphoryl lipid A and 3-O-deacylated monophosphoryl lipid A. A surfactant or mixtures of surfactants are dissolved in a solvant. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a preferred surfactant. The dissolved surfactant is added to an attenuated lipid A derivative to obtain a mixture. The molar ratio of attenuated lipid A derivative to surfactant in the mixture is about 4:1. The solvent is evaporated and water is added to the resulting film. The suspension is sonicated in a 60  DEG C water bath until it becomes clear. Animals administered the adjuvant formulation exhibited increased antibody responses to a given antigen as well as displayed enhanced lymphocyte proliferative and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. Intranasal administration of the aqueous adjuvant composition and an antigen stimulates the production of serum and mucosal secreted IgA.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for regulating the emptying of a water closet. The closet comprises a tank (2), at least a manoeuvre mechanism (1), as well as a flushing outlet (3) in a lower portion of the tank (2). At the flushing outlet (3) is a bottom valve (4) as well as means for manoeuvring said valve (4) with the manoeuvre mechanism (1). There is also means for restoring the manoeuvre mechanism (1) into a starting position after a complete flushing. A plunge (6) in the manoeuvre mechanism (1) bear against a manoeuvre rod (8) actuateable by a release button (7), under the influence of a passive floater (F) arranged on a lifting peg (11) such as when the button (7) is actuated for achieving a flushing, the manoeuvre rod (8) is interlocked in a certain position. In this position a essentially vertical pressure is withheld agains a lever (9), which affects a lifting rod (10) of the bottom valve (4) in such a way, that the flushing water in the tank (2) is flushed. This may continue until the floater (F) loses its lifting power and consequently releases the pressure from the plunge (6) against the manoeuvre rod (8), so that the manoeuvre rod when a refill of the tank (2) is started, returns the manoeuvre rod (8) and its release button (7) to their respective starting positions.

Abstract: An area information storage section (103) stores
positional information on at least two target areas on
the standard image of printed matter to be examined,
the area of each of the target areas, their standard
average densities, and the standard deviation of their
density distribution. An average density computing
section (104) calculates the average density for each
target area in the image data supplied from the image
input section (101) using positional information on
each target area and its area supplied from the area
information storage section. A density difference
measuring means (105) measures, target area by target
area, the density difference between the average
density and the standard average density supplied
from the area information storage section. A density
difference normalizing section (106) normalizes the
density difference and the standard deviation of the
density distribution supplied from the area information
storage section. On the basis of the added value
of the normalized density difference for each of the
target areas, a summing section (107) judges the degree
of stain on the printed matter to be examined.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for densely packing wire (11) in a storage drum (62) is provided. A
capstan (12) is provided for pulling welding wire (11) at a set rotational velocity. The welding wire (11) is
then provided to a rotatable laying head (21) which receives the wire (11) from the capstan (12), and in turn
rotates with a storage drum (62) placed on a rotatable turntable (54). As the welding wire (11) is placed
within the turntable (54) in layers, the turntable (54) is indexed relative to the storage drum axis and the
rotational velocity of the capstan (12) and laying head (21) is altered, which causes the welding wire (11) to
be placed in a layer different from the first layer. This indexing is continued until the storage
drum (62) is full, forming alternating bands of welding wire (11) to increase the packing density of the
storage drum (62).

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic system includes a transducer. A first
electric drive signal is fed to the transducer. A second electric
drive signal is fed to the transducer at a time different from a time
of the feed of the first electric drive signal thereto. The second
electric drive signal has a waveform different from a waveform of the
first electric drive signal. A first received signal is derived from an
output signal of the transducer. The first received signal represents
ultrasonic echoes related to an ultrasonic beam caused by the
transducer in response to the first electric drive signal. A second
received signal is derived from the output signal of the transducer.
The second received signal represents ultrasonic echoes related to
an ultrasonic beam caused by the transducer in response to the
second electric drive signal. The first received signal is subjected
to a waveform equalizing process, thereby being converted into a
third received signal having a waveform corresponding to a
waveform of the second received signal. A calculator operates for
calculating a difference between the second received signal and the
third received signal, and generating a signal representing the
calculated difference.

An automated controller (28) and an automated constricting device (59) may be provided for applying CPR to the recipient in an automated fashion. The automated controller (28) receives the chest compression indication signals from the signaling mechanism (18). In accordance with the chest compression indication signals, it controls the force and frequency of constrictions. The system (10) may be provided with a tilt compensator (16) comprising a tilt sensor mechanism (24, 25) outputting a tilt compensation signal indicative of the extent of tilt of the device, and may be further provided with an adjuster (S10) for adjusting the distance value in accordance with the tilt compensation signal. An ECG signal processor may be provided which removes the CPR-induced artifact from a measured ECG signal obtained during the administration of CPR.
