Abstract: In a method for the continuous casting of metals, especially aluminium or aluminium alloys, in a multi-mould casting installation, disturbances in the progress of casting are to be compensated for immediately so that optimum bar quality is obtained. This is achieved, according to the invention, by feeding in a pressurised gas and a lubricant underneath the hot top of each mould via at least one gas line, a regulating valve for setting the volume flow of gas, a downstream pressure sensor and a device for measuring the said volume flow being arranged in each gas line. It is furthermore envisaged, according to the invention, that the volume flow of gas in each gas line be automatically held constant at a predetermined value, irrespective of the respective filling level of the mould, in a first casting phase from the beginning of the filling of the mould with molten metal to a point in time following the entry of the metal strand into the water-cooled zone. During a second casting phase, the volume flow of gas in each gas line is automatically regulated in such a way that the gas pressure in each gas line is held constant at a predetermined value.

Abstract: A control cable adjuster device (Fig. 3) includes an end piece 16 fixed relative to a control cable run and an adjuster nut 18 on a threaded portion of the conduit 8. The adjuster nut 18 is biassed away from the end piece 16 by a compression spring 24 to apply tension to the inner core 2 and form an initial gap 30 between the adjuster nut and the end piece. As wear occurs in an associated actuated component (for example, a motor vehicle clutch) so the gap 30 decreases to accommodate the wear. The gap 30 is reset by rotating the adjuster nut 18 to move the adjuster nut along the threaded conduit 8. Rotation of the adjuster nut is effected through teeth 40 meshing with teeth 38 on a sleeve 32, axial movement of which is limited by abutment of a shoulder 44 on the sleeve with a collar 48 on the end piece 16. The various components are dimensioned such that the teeth 38, 40 move out of mesh upon the gap 30 being re-established. The sleeve may be rotated manually or through gearing 58, 60 from a drive 54 which is derived from components associated with the actuated component or is provided by an electrical motor 56. The drive may be energised continuously or intermittently. The device may be positioned in, or at an end of, a cable run and alternatively co-act with the inner core of the cable run.

Abstract: A semiautomatic lip sync recovery system for time synchronizing the audio and video channels of a television signal uses programmable delay circuits in each channel. An area of the image represented by the video channel is defined within which motion related to sound occurs. Motion vectors are generated for the defined area, and correlated with the levels of the audio channel to determine a time difference between the video and audio channels. The time difference is then used to compute delay control signals for the programmable delay circuits so that the video and audio channels are in time synchronization.

Abstract: A method and a circuit arrangement are specified having a device for measuring the barrier layer temperature of a GTO [gate turn-off thyristor]. In this case, a measuring current (IM) is impressed in the gate circuit and, after the decay of the transient turn-off processes, the voltage (UGR) between the cathode and gate is measured in the presence of the measuring current (IM). This voltage (UGR) is dependent at this point in time on the barrier layer temperature of the GTO. It thus becomes possible to measure the barrier layer temperature directly on the element, that is to say without diversions via cooling body temperature and calculation of the thermal resistance or the like, and continuously during operation and, as a consequence, to monitor and to control precisely the load factor of the GTO. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The synthesis of useful peptides presents a promising approach to new therapeutic agents. The Dolastatins, a series of linear and cyclic antineoplastic and/or cytostatic peptides isolated from Indian Ocean sea hare  Dolabella auricularia  represent excellent leads for synthetic modification. 
     In the present invention, the corresponding amine was allowed to react with Boc-L-phenylalanine. Synthesis of amides led to excellent yields; The protecting group of amides was removed with hydrogen chloride in acetic acid to afford the hydrochloride salt, The correspondent deprotected  N - tert -butyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanineamide was coupled with dolaproine in the presence of diethyl phosphorocyanidate and triethylamine thereby yielding dipeptideamides. The protecting groups of amides was removed with trifluoroacetic acid to afford the trifluoroacetate salt. Diethyl phosphorocyanidate was used again with excellent results for coupling tripeptide trifluoroacetate with each of the amide salts to yield Dolastatin 10 structural modifications. 
     The extraordinary inhibition of cell growth shown by the Pentapeptideamides against six major types of human cancer has been presented. The intermediates of these reaction also show anticancer activity against the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for inspecting a figure inscribed on curved surface (2a/3a) of an article (1) is disclosed. The article under inspection (1) is rotated at pre-set angular increments for dividing the figure inscribed on the curved surface (2a/3a) of the article into plural fractions and fetching the picture information from plural directions. The picture information of the fractional pictures is synthesized into picture information for one full-format picture based on which the figure inscribed on the curved surface of the article (1) under inspection is inspected. Decision on acceptability may be given automatically and quantitatively as compared to the conventional functional inspection. That is, the inspection may be performed without regard to the difference in skill from one operator to another. In addition, the operator may be relieved from an monotonous inspecting operation, while the cost in manpower may be saved. By sorting the articles into good and no-good ones based on the results of inspection of the figures, the inspection of the articles and sorting into good and no-good articles may be performed automatically for saving the manpower. In addition, by recognizing the characters or symbols inscribed on the curved surface of the article under inspection one by one based on the information of the synthesized fullformat picture, and by comparing the character string consisting of the recognized characters or symbols to a pre-set control character string, the decision on acceptability can be given accurately.

Abstract: The method involves using a control box to generate a pseudo-random sequence of numbers as digital words. The generator is integrated as part of the electronic circuit. The generated words are not available to the user but define an internal sequence. The information source suggests a number of replies to a question and the user selects one. A device representing the selection is then slotted into the box. The device emits a sequence of digital words which are compared with the internally generated sequence. The output is relayed to the user in the form of sensory signals.
