Abstract: An inspection system 10 for a flue 2 or flue liner 4 has an
inflatable bag arrangement 12 of elastic material for closing the
upper end 6 of the flue liner when the bag arrangement 12 is
inflated. A lower closure system 16 is provided to close the
lower end 8 of the flue liner 4; the closure system 16 comprising
a compressible ring of elastomeric material which expands
radially outwardly when compressed to close the lower end 8 of
the flue liner. A tube 14 acts both as a guide to locate the bag
arrangement 12 in place to convey inflating air to the bag
arrangement from a pump 15. A tube 23, 28 connects an extractor
pump 26 to the interior 24 of the flue liner 6 between the
inflated bag arrangement 12 and the closure system 16 so as to
reduce the air pressure in the region 24. A sensor 30 observes
the rate of extracted air-flow along the pipe 23, 28 and if the
flow exceeds a certain value this signifies that there is an
unacceptable leak in flue liner 4.

Abstract: A lampholder in accordance with the invention can suitably be used for a low-pressure discharge lamp (a) which operates at a high frequency and which comprises an elongated, tubular discharge vessel (b), said lamp being provided with a pair of electrodes (c, c') for maintaining an electric discharge in the discharge vessel. The lampholder (0) has contacts (1, 1') for connecting a high-frequency power supply (4), said contacts being electrically connected to a first (2) and a second terminal (2') for connecting the lamp. The second terminal is further removed from the contacts than the first terminal. A compensation conductor (6) extending between the first (2) and the second terminal (2') is connected to said first terminal (2). This leads to a reduction of conducted interference.

Abstract: A user of a portable terminal (1) writes sentences
to be transmitted as an e-mail, a mail address, and
information indicating that service a host device (4)
is requested to provide is "mail transmission" on paper
as a memo. By using an image input unit (1a) installed
in the portable terminal, the paper or the like is
imaged. The portable terminal transmits the image data
thus taken in to the host device. The host device
analyzes received image data by using an image recognition
unit (5). Upon recognizing by characters that the
service requested by the portable terminal is "mail
transmission", the host device starts a mail
transmitting/receiving unit (6). The mail
transmitting/receiving unit (6) transmits the content
of the written memo included in the image data to a
terminal specified by the mail address included in the
image data.

Abstract: The method involves detecting distribution information which is located on a surface of mailings processed in several processing machines (ILV), in which the images with the distribution information are recorded in each machine and are read automatically. Un-recognised distribution information is determined over a network by video encoding station (VCD) device. The images of the mailings, whose distribution information could not be read automatically during a temporary storage, are stored and managed in each processing machine. Status information about a fill condition of the temporary memories is regularly exchanged between the processing machines, and ranking values for all processing machines are determined from it in each processing machine. Each video encoding station requests, if required, the ranking values from an arbitrary processing machine, and determines from it, through an individual random process, the processing machine from which the next image is read.

Abstract: A hopper loader apparatus for transferring and separating individual signatures of
sheet material from a vertically aligned, parallelepiped shaped stack of such
signatures. The separated, individual signatures may then be subjected to handling
operations such as stapling or stitching. The hopper-loader has a first,

conveyor which separates individual signatures from the stack and moves the
signatures at a faster speed than the first conveyor. An included angle is formed
between the first and second conveyors which ranges from about 125° to about
145°. Signatures are delivered to a pocket having spaced side walls and having a
floor comprising a third intermittent indexing conveyor which sequentially moves
the individual signatures away from the second conveyor and makes them available

Abstract: Orthopaedic wires, cables, and methods of making them are based on the
discovery that, in clinical orthopaedic applications, material toughness and fatigue
strength are as important or more important than ultimate tensile strength. The wires
and cables of the invention have a tensile strength lower than 280 ksi, but higher than
175 ksi. The presently preferred wires and cables have a tensile strength of 210-240
ksi. The fatigue strength of the wires and cables of the invention is between six and
ten times that of other high strength cables used in orthopaedic applications. One
method of making the wires and cables includes annealing high tensile strength wire
or cable to reduce its tensile strength and thereby increase its fatigue strength.
Another method is to cold work fully annealed wire or cable to the extent of decreasing
its cross section by approximately 18%. Presently preferred wires and cables
according to the invention are made from chromium-cobalt alloy, preferably wrought
VITALLIUM (registered trademark) alloy.

Abstract: A method and system for providing artificial intelligence for
assessing a course of medical treatment. The method and system achieve
their objects related to assessing a course of medical treatment by
providing a data-processing system programmed to do at least the following:
define a course of medical treatment, and calculate an assessment of the
defined course of medical treatment. The defined course of medical
treatment can include surgical intervention. Calculating the assessment of
the defined course of medical treatment can include calculating the risk or
risks associated with surgical intervention. Calculating the risk or risks
associated with the surgical intervention can include defining one or more
surgical paths to a brain tumour and calculating the risk or risks
associated with the one or more defined surgical paths to the brain tumour.
Calculating the risk or risks associated with the one or more surgical paths
to the brain tumour can include associating a probability with at least one
brain region and determining whether the at least one brain region, with
which the at least one probability has been associated, is intersected by
the at least one surgical path, and thereafter calculating a risk based upon
the probability associated with the at least one brain region intersected.
Associating at least one probability with at least one brain region can
include defining at least one functional region within the brain,
subdividing the at least one functional region into one or more subregions,
and associating a risk-of-damage probability with each of the one or more
subregions such that a higher probability indicates a concomitant loss of
function of the at least one functional area within the brain.
