Abstract: This invention discloses an automatic transmission control system for an automobile, in which shift control for a specific gear shift is performed by especially controlling a hydraulic working pressure, so that a specific gear shift, such as a 2-3 gear shift which has a necessity of locking a specific friction coupling element is satisfactorily caused simultaneously with unlocking another specific friction coupling element. In the figure, the base pressure Pb is kept at a constant initial level of pressure Pb from an appearance of the gear shift command to a point of time at which the turbine speed starts to fall, i.e. at which an inertia phase starts and increases at a fixed rate after the commencement of the inertia phase. The feedback (Pfb) is established so as to bring the turbine speed change rate dNt into agreement with the target turbine speed change rate dNt, during the inertia phase after a passage of a specified time interval (T1) from the commencement of the inertia phase. Further, the learned pressure Psd is set on the basis of the state of an inertia phase in a previous 1-2 gear shift.

Abstract: B-cells have been identified as being the crucial carriers of infectivity in the spread of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy within an infected animal. In a second step, B-cells may infect further component of the immune system, e.g. T-cells. Accordingly, the present invention provides B-cell and T-cell specific ligands for the use in diagnostics and therapeutics for transmissible spongiform encephalopathy and povides methods for the manufacture of non-infective blood products and tissue derived products. Thus, the present invention provides medicaments comprising B-cell and/or T-cell depletants, for the treatment of pathologies where the depletion of B-cells and/or T-cells, and more particularly of infective B-cells and/or T-cells is therapeutically effective. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for reducing radio frequency interference arising in connection with pulsed transmission over time division multiplexed communication channels. In a first embodiment, a subscriber station is nominally assigned all of the slots of each frame of a first transmit channel. By transmitting RF energy substantially continuously, the subscriber station reduces interference arising from pulsed transmission. In a second embodiment, a subscriber station is nominally assigned one or more slots of each frame of a primary channel for conventional transmission of useful information, and is also instructed to continuously transmit RF energy over an auxiliary channel at times other than during the assigned primary channel slots. In this way, interference generated in the vicinity of the subscriber station is reduced due to the substantially continuous transmission of RF energy by the subscriber station. More than one subscriber station may simultaneously utilize the auxiliary channel during reduced interference mode operation.

Abstract: A metal tube is cold formed into a stamped member by filling the tube with a liquid change-of-state material, freezing the change-of-state material, sealing the tube containing the solid change-of-state material, and stamping the tube in a die. The change-of-state material compresses during the stamping step to force the walls of the tube to conform to the die cavity, eliminating the need to pressurize the tube prior or subsequent to stamping. Additionally, the solid within the tube provides support to the wall of the tube during a piercing step to form a hole in the tube having less deformation surrounding the hole than a comparative tube pierced without having the solid fill. After the stamping or piercing steps, the change-of-state material is melted and drained from the tube. Further, a tube is pierced by forming an outwardly bulged area and piercing the tube in the outwardly bulged area while simultaneously depressing the tube to substantially flatten the outwardly bulged area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a patient on a mattress. The apparatus includes a mattress which has at least one controlled release chamber with a top face and a bottom face. A flexible film of a thin metal foil is linked to the top face, while at least one impedance varying device is linked to the bottom face of the chamber. The impedance varying device is an integral part of a measuring electronic bridge. Changes in the impedance as a result of movement of the top face with respect to the bottom face activates a servo control which increases or decreases the inflation pressure within the chamber to make certain that the distance between the top face and the bottom face of the chamber is maintained at a predetermined distance. The method of this invention includes the steps of providing a mattress having at least one closed or controlled release chamber having a top face and a bottom face, providing a measurement device which includes a flexible film of a thin metal foil linked to the top face of the chamber and cooperating with at least one impedance varying element linked to the bottom face of the chamber, the impedance varying element being integral with a measuring electronic bridge, and measuring spacing between the top face and the bottom face to provide control of the supporting action of the mattress as a function of the patient's morphology and position on the mattress.

Abstract: The digital storage of speech signals in a semiconducting memory is known in the art. Large quantities of storage space are required for storing speech signals and therefore, for long recordings for example dictations, a very large semiconductor memory is needed. This is advantageously implemented using a so-called flash memory. However, the contents of such a memory can only be erased in large sections at a time so that minor changes such as partial erasures and insertions are not possible. The total available memory is subdivided into clusters and a table of contents is created in which the stored files and the state occupation of each cluster is stored, at is known in the art concerning the DOS file manager. Moreover, information which indicates which cluster is the next cluster of a file is stored for each cluster in a file allocation table. This process in accordance with the invention allows for erasures or insertions to be carried out by altering the indication in the file allocation table to the following cluster. In this manner, clusters may be both inserted into and removed from a file. In addition, information on each cluster includes the number of speech frames stored in the cluster and from which address the first speech frame is stored. It is thereby possible to logically remove individual speech frames, forming the smallest subdivision of the stored speech signal, from the file at the beginning or end of a cluster without having to execute an erasing process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical fuse element (1) having a substantially ceramic housing and a fusible conductor (3, 4) and to a process for its production. All known fuses of the said type have problems in mass production, in particular in the fixing and fastening of their fusible conductors. The object is therefore to provide a fuse and a process for its production which simplifies the fixing and fastening of fusible conductors and altogether brings about a reduction in cost in comparison with known processes. The object is achieved according to the invention in that a fusible conductor (3, 4) is placed between two green ceramic layers (2, 5) in such a way that it runs at least between mutually opposite end faces of the ceramic layers (2, 5) and this arrangement is pressed and subsequently sintered.
