Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP96/03884 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 17, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 17, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/12091 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 3, 1997Process for producing a steel cord for pneumatic tires comprising a bunch of wires, the core of which consists of wire filaments 10 arranged bunched juxtaposed in parallel. Preferably at least three wire filaments 10, 20 are provided, at least two wire filaments located juxtaposed in parallel being spirally shaped as core filaments 10 forming a core 60 and at least one wire filament spirally surrounding the two core filaments 10 as a sheathing wire 20. Spirally shaping the wire filaments 10 is achieved in accordance with the invention by false twisters 40. Due to this spiral shaping of the wire filaments 10 migration of the filaments from the core composite is avoided more particularly. The residual torsional stresses of the core filaments among each other and in conjunction with the restoring forces of the sheathing wire are advantageously cancelled. In addition, the steel cord features to advantage a flattened, more particularly, oval shape.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil pour lire et/ou écrire des supports d'enregistrement optiques (AT) de constructions diverses. Cet appareil fonctionne avec une seule lentille d'objectif (OL). Pour adapter l'ouverture au type de support d'enregistrement optique (AT) utilisé, il est prévu selon l'invention d'utiliser un diaphragme d'ouverture variable, notamment un filtre de polarisation disposé dans le trajet optique. La correction du front de l'onde peut être effectuée par une lentille divergente (SL) que l'on place en plus dans le trajet des rayons. Le diaphragme formé par le filtre de polarisation (PF) est couplé à la lentille d'objectif (OL). Le domaine d'application de l'invention concerne notamment les appareils pour lire et/ou écrire des supports d'enregistrement (AT) optiques de constructions diverses comme, par exemple, des CD et des vidéodisques numériques.

Abstract: The method involves pressing a mat to be formed into board in a hot plate press for a first press phase period of 20-90 s. The mat is over-compressed to a thickness of 0.80-0.98 of the desired final thickness. The pressure is applied to the mat at least for long enough to allow 50-100 g of water to be sprayed on to the outer surfaces of the mat and for the water to reach the point where steam is starting to form. The energy of the water is such that when the plates are moved apart in a second press phase to a distance equal to the final thickness of the board, there is a secondary steam shock effect causing a spontaneous increase of temperature within the mat of at least 15 degrees .

A first system comprises the center in a network, an information provider and a plurality of users. The center identifies utilization status by requests of the secret-key. The data is encrypted by the secret-key and is stored and transferred, while the data to be stored and transferred is encrypted by a secret-key different from the secret-key for the transferred data. An original data label is added to the original data, and an edit label is added to the edited data, and the center does not store the data and stores only the original data label and the edit label. A second system comprises a center and an information provider in a network, and a plurality of users utilizing the network. The center stores the original data and editing scenario, and also the original data label, user label and edit label. The data is not transferred between the users, but data label encrypted by the public-key is transferred. In electronic commerce system, every data is distributed through a mediator in the network, data which is transferred from a maker to a user is encrypted by a secret-key for encryption, and data which is transferred from the user to the maker is encrypted by a secret-key for re-encryption. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of fibrosis. According to the invention it was surprisingly found that submicromolar concentrations of a histone deacetylase inhibitor and in particular of trichostatin A strongly inhibit three main features of myofibroblastic differentiation of cultured hepatic stellate cells and of skin fibroblasts: (1) synthesis of collagens type I and III, the predominant collagens in fibrosis of liver and other organs; (2) cellular proliferation; and (3) expression of smooth muscle  alpha -actin, a marker for activated myofibroblasts. These results indicate that trichostatin A is a potent antifibrogenic agent, totally different from any other therapeutic compounds previously described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for removing blocking effect in a motion picture decoder. Boundary pixel values of a current block and corresponding adjacent block are extracted. A mean value for the resulting difference values between the extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent blocks is calculated. The calculated mean value is limited between - 1/2 and 1/2 quantization step size. The limited mean value is added to the each pixel values of the current block to generate a resulting output. In another aspect, absolute values for the resulting difference values between extracted pixel values of the current and adjacent block is calculated. The calculated absolute values are compared with the respective difference values and threshold level to determine whether the current block contains an edge. The current block without the edge is selected, filtered, and outputted, in which the blocking effect due to a quantization error is removed without having distortion to the original data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se réfère à un procédé et à un appareil de traitement de signaux optiques, destinés à produire une boucle de rétroaction de bruit employant le bruit existant à l'intérieur d'un système optique pour saturer une chaîne d'amplificateurs situés après l'unité de branchement, en vue de prévenir une suramplification de canaux d'informations dans un signal multiplexé en division de longueur d'onde contenant des canaux vides, lors du passage de ces canaux à travers des amplificateurs situés en aval. Ce procédé et cet appareil emploient un amplificateur à extraction existant, qui émet un bruit d'émission spontanée amplifiée (ASE) comme effet secondaire. Un coupleur permet de connecter le bruit ASE à un filtre. Le bruit ASE filtré est introduit dans un amplificateur de réseau existant au moyen d'un second coupleur. L'amplificateur de réseau accroît le gain en direction du bruit ASE filtré à un niveau suffisant pour saturer la chaîne d'amplificateurs, sans recours à un dispositif externe producteur de bruit.
