The blocking element can be in the form of a ring placed around a shaft about which various door wings can be swiveled and thus simultaneously act on various cams associated with respective door wings. The position of the blocking element is controlled with an electromagnetic arrangement that is so coupled to the blocking element that the failure of electrical power enables the door wing to be swiveled aside.

Abstract: An electric power cable of the kind having at least one metallic conductor, optionally conductor screen of semiconductive material, and insulation all enclosed in an earth screen having wires or narrow tapes and a sheath comprising polymeric material is characterised by a sheath construction comprising a first extruded polymeric layer which encloses the earth screen of the cable without filling the gaps between the components thereof (the wires or strips). A second extruded polymeric layer encloses the first and a moisture barrier laminate is located between them and bonded to both of them. The laminate has a metal foil layer coated on each of its major faces with a polymeric material compatible with the material of the extruded layer it contacts. This increases the resistance of the cable to impact, compared with constructions in which a moisture barrier foil layer is applied directly over the screen wires, and allows the cable to be used in applications that hitherto required a metal sheath.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for increasing the charring ratio of coal. In manufacturing an ingot iron using the coal, magnesium oxide or limestone is used as an additive for charring the coal. The additive increases the charring ratio of the coal while giving no affection onto slag. An MgO suspension or limestone suspension is mixed with the coal and thus obtained mixture is dried to attach MgO or the limestone onto the surface of the coal. The charring effect is increased and the using amount of coke can be reduced.

Abstract: A TDD antenna array S-CDMA system for increasing the capacity and quality of a wireless communications is disclosed. By simultaneous exploiting the spatial and code diversities, high performance communications between a plurality of remote terminals and a base station is achieved without sacrificing system flexibility and robustness. The time-division-duplex mode together with the inherent interference immunity of S-CDMA signals allow the spatial diversity to be exploited using simple and robust beamforming rather than demanding nulling. Measurements from an array of receiving antennas at the base station are utilized to estimate spatial signatures, timing offsets, transmission powers and other propagation parameters associated with a plurality of S-CDMA terminals. Such information is then used for system synchronization, downlink beamforming, as well as handoff management. In an examplary embodiment, the aforementioned processing is accomplished with minimum computations, thereby allowing the disclosed system to be applicable to a rapidly varying environment. Among many other inherent benefits of the present invention are large capacity and power efficiency, strong interference/fading resistance, robustness power control, and easy hand-off.

Abstract: Novel oligonucleotides comprising a sequence derived by a computer program are provided for inhibiting cytotoxic activity of lymphocytic cells, inhibiting production of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory responses associated with those cytokines, inhibiting the activity of heme-containing enzymes and delaying the onset of an autoimmune disease. By combining the subject compositions with mixtures of cells comprising lymphocytic cells and cells which would otherwise activate the lymphocytic cells, lysis of the target cells can be substantially inhibited. The oligopeptides may be joined to a variety of other groups or compounds for varying the activity of the subject composition. The subject compositions may be administered by any convenient means to inhibit lymphocytic attack on tissue, particularly involved with xenogeneic or allogeneic transplants or to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory responses associated therewith. The subject compositions may also be used in the inhibition of the activity of heme-containing enzymes.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of collection and linking of positional data obtained by satellite localization and other data. At least one vehicle travels through substantially all streets of one or several continuous areas, with a satellite localization device continuously and automatically gathering positional data relating to the actual position of each vehicle and with one or several cameras taking pictures of individual adjacent buildings, substantially from a horizontal point of view. The postal addresses of the buildings contained in the taken pictures are determined, with at least the house numbers being determined by means of a house number sign on the buildings. For each individual building the positional data, data relating to the postal address and at least one digitized picture of the building are linked together and recorded in a database. This allows very accurate vehicle navigation systems but also many other applications not limited to vehicles.

Abstract: An automated dialer for a call center maximizes agent efficiency in two different ways. In a first method overdial probability is expressed as a probability function of number of agents and total traffic volume; the probability function is set equal to a maximum allowable overdial probability; and the resulting equation is solved for maximum total traffic volume producing the maximum overdial probability. The maximum total traffic volume is then used to determine a new dialing rate by dividing the difference between the calculated maximum traffic volume and known inbound traffic volume by the product of average call length and hit rate, where hit rate is the percentage of connected calls to total dialed outbound calls. In a second method a maximum total traffic volume is calculated from total number of agents times a desired agent utilization factor, and the total traffic volume is used as in the first method to calculate and set a new dialing rate for outbound calls.
