Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB96/01517 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 10, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 10, 1998 PCT Filed Jun. 24, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01160 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 9, 1997Vertical surface protection in a security installation is achieved by detecting disturbances in a microwave beam sent from a transmitter to a receiver, both installed substantially above the ground and adjacent to the vertical surface. The transmitter and receiver have associated beam aerials of extended horizontal aperture of not less than 0.50 meters (20 inches) to mitigate the effects of surface reflection from metal scaffold, plastic sheeting or netting, wooden boarding and brick or stone facing. The aerials are preferably slotted waveguide arrays and the advantages of using circular polarization are shown. Circularly-polarized slotted waveguide arrays are disclosed having a center feed to minimize frequency-dependent beam-spreading. The sensor may be used with an intruder detector to protect buildings in scaffold by utilizing triple technology exterior detection incorporating: microwave Doppler shift; at least one and preferably two passive infra-red devices linked together through timers and lens with horizontal curtain pattern; and anti-sabotage reflected active infra-red. The system can combine the aforementioned technologies into a new device and this format overcomes the individual limitations of each of the prior art technologies when used in unison in an external scaffold environment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of diagnosing a malignant disorder or its precursor stages. The aim is to develop a diagnostic procedure for malignant disorders and their precursor stages which causes no pain or discomfort to the patient. This is done by plotting a blood cell size histogram in venous and arterial blood which for a particular blood cell type gives the percentage of cells of between 6 and 16 micron in size for both arterial and venous blood, multiplies the values obtained for arterial and venous blood separately with a weighting factor and adds them up and forms the linear combinations of the sums for arterial and venous blood.

Abstract: A construction system where elements have connection components for a ball-to-socket or socket-to-socket connection. The ball-to-socket connection "locks" at orientations when one or more detents in the interior of the socket protrude into one or more of a plurality of dimples on the ball. The construction elements generally have an elongated body with a dimpled ball at one end and a socket at the other end, or dimpled balls at both ends, or sockets at both ends. In addition to the ball-and-socket connection, elements may connect in a socket-to-body connection, or a number of different types of socket-to-socket connections. The socket has at least two petals with a lip contour such that in one type of socket-to-socket connection the pair of sockets interlock to form a sphere. The irregular shape of the lip of the socket allows a ball to be leveraged out of a socket, and make orientations over at least 2 pi  steradians available in a ball-to-socket interconnection.

Abstract: To keep material outlay and moving bodies to a minimum, a hair-stitching machine is proposed for the stitching of hair into an artificial hairpiece (toupee) using thin, transparent PVC plastic sheets arranged on top of each other on a rigid positive mould and into which the individual hairs are inserted from above and after all hairs have been inserted they are pressed and fastened by adhesive in further procedural steps, in particular using artificial resin, to the carrier sheet. Said hair-stitching machine comprises a cupboard-shaped housing enclosing the control members for step motors for adjusting the moving members. The stitching needle with a supply of hair is arranged above the said housing upper surface which is in the form of an assembly plate. The positive mould (12a) can be moved into a top and a bottom position and can be tilted; it can also be displaced in steps to be three-dimensional in relation to the stitching needle such that during each stitching the stitching needle above the positive mould (12a) enters the insertion point at right angles to the tangent of the surface of the positive mould (12a). A support device (37a, 37b, 37c) is provided with two support arms (37a, 37b) pivotable above the positive mould (12a), and the stitching needle head (15) which has the hair supply (32, 33) is arranged on one support arm (37a) of said support device, and a scanner (50) for the unstitched hairpiece on the positive mould (12a) is arranged on the other support arm (37b) thereof.

Abstract: A plasma processing system for plasma processing of substrates such as semiconductor wafers. The system includes a plasma processing chamber, a substrate support for supporting a substrate within the processing chamber, a dielectric member having an interior surface facing the substrate support, the dielectric member forming a wall of the processing chamber, a gas supply comprising one or more injector tubes extending rectilinearly in the plasma processing chamber and having one or more orifices in a sidewall for supplying gas into the chamber, and an RF energy source such as a planar coil which inductively couples RF energy through the dielectric member and into the chamber to energize the process gas into a plasma state. The gas is supplied through orifices located outside of regions at the distal tip of the injector tubes where electric field lines are concentrated. The arrangement minimizes clogging of the orifices since the orifices are located away from areas where most build-up of process byproducts occur on the injector tube.
