Abstract: A method of monitoring the status of a current ovulation cycle of an individual human female subject, involving testing of the body fluid concentration of an analyte of significance in relation to the status of the ovulation cycle, such as urinary E3G, during at least part of the pre-ovulation phase of the current ovulation cycle of the individual subject, and identification from the results of such testing an analyte concentration change indicative of imminent ovulation, relative to an analyte concentration reference value that has been adapted to the individual human subject on the basis of analyte concentration test data obtained from the individual human subject during one or more previous ovulation cycles.

Abstract: A biological agent growth-limiting and cross contamination suppressing foaming assembly. The foaming assembly comprises a disposable foamable-liquid transport and foaming cartridge and a housing cooperatively used with the cartridge to produce and dispense foam from the cartridge. The cartridge comprises a low-cost package comprising a molded tray which provides cavities for liquid containing chambers, air and liquid communicating channels, and initially sealed but frangible ports and a liquid impervious sheet which covers an open face of the tray to seal otherwise open portions of the chambers, channels and ports. The housing comprises a vertical wall mounting plate, a cartridge accommodating and servicing cover hingeably affixed to the mounting plate, a pump which provides pressurized gas to produce the foam within the cartridge, and sharpened stems or shafts to open the frangible ports. Foamable-liquid is stored within the cartridge during shipment, foamed within the cartridge under pressure from the pump, and dispensed as a foam from a spout which is a part of the tray.

Abstract: A virtual retinal display utilizes photon generation and manipulation to create a panoramic, high resolution, color virtual image that is projected directly onto the retina of the eye without creating a real or an aerial image that is viewed via a mirror or optics. The virtual retinal display includes a source of photons, the photons being modulated with video information and scanned in a raster type of pattern directly onto the retina of the user's eye. The photon generator may utilize coherent or non-coherent light. Further, the photon generator may utilize color light generators so as to scan a colored virtual image directly onto the retina of the user's eye. The virtual retinal display may also include a depth accommodation cue to vary the focus of scanned photons rapidly so as to control the depth perceived by a user for each individual picture element of the virtual image. Further, an eye tracking system may be utilized to sense the position of an entrance pupil of the user's eye, the detected pupil position being utilized to move the scanned photons so as to be approximately coincident with the entrance pupil of the eye. The detected pupil position may also be used to change the video image scanned onto the retina so that as the user's eye moves, the view perceived by the user changes.

Abstract: Investigations have shown that curtailing the entry of air between the coater backing roll (3) and the web (5) being coated can offer a significant reduction in the number of uncoated blotches. By virtue of preventing the occurrence of such coat defects, the rotational speed of the kiss roll (2) in kiss roll coaters can be reduced. The invention is based on pressing the web (5) being coated against the backing roll (3) from the opposite side of the web (5) relative to the backing roll (3) at a point preceding the nip between the kiss roll (2) and the backing roll (3), whereby air is prevented from entering between the web (5) and the backing roll (3). The means employed for pressing the web (5) against the backing roll (3) is an air jet to avoid imposing additional stress on the web. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet transfer cylinder for printing machines using gripper bridges arranged distributed evenly and symmetrically over the circumference of the cylinder. The object of the invention is to ajust the gripper opening strips of the gripper bridges evenly for different thicknesses of the printing medium. This is achieved in that, for the uniform raising and lowering of the gripper opening strips 21, a drive motor 5 is arranged in the cylinder journal 4 of a sheet transfer cylinder 2 which is connected via a clutch 15 to centrally adjusting means 16. The centrally adjusting means 16 are coupled for each gripper bridge to a positioning device 20, which positioning devices move the gripper opening strips 21 in a radial direction by means of advancing wedges 19. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention refers to a novel nickel-based catalyst which exhibits excellent activity and stability for carbon dioxide reforming of natural gas (methane) to synthesis gas. The catalyst consists of nickel crystallites in contact with La2O3 carrier or in the form of nickel supported on La2O3 carrier or in the form of nickel on La2O3 particles dispersed on a conventional carrier such as  gamma -Al2O3. The stable and active surface of Ni/La2O3 is formed, following two hours of the reaction of carbon dioxide reforming of methane at temperatures higher than 600 DEG C. In contrast to conventional nickel-based catalysts, e.g. Ni/ gamma -Al2O3, the new Ni/La2O3 catalysts (at the stable state) are not prone to coking in the temperature range of 550-850 DEG C, exhibiting excellent stability. Near complete conversion of methane and carbon dioxide, and around 100% selectivity to carbon monoxide and hydrogen are achieved over the Ni/La2O3 catalysts under stoichiometric conditions at temperatures in the neighbourhood of 8oo DEG C and a superficial contact time of ca. 0.02 seconds. <MATH>

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of fabricating membranes mounted on a frame, the method including the following steps: (a) a membrane film is applied to a substrate in such a way that it can be detached from the substrate again, (b) the frame is built up on the membrane film and (c) the membrane film, together with the frame, is separated from the substrate. The aim of the invention is to be able to fabricate membranes which, in certain pre-selected areas, have physical properties which are different from the properties in the other areas. This is achieved by (d) applying a first membrane film to the substrate, (e) making at least one hole in the first membrane film and (f) covering the hole in the first membrane film over with a second membrane film.

Abstract: The invention provides method and apparatus for identifying the fault phase on the occurrence of a single phase fault simultaneously on both circuits of a double circuit electric power transmission line using measurements taken at one end only of the line. Using measurements of voltage and current at the one end of the line and a knowledge of various parameters of the line, a signal representative of the travelling wave arriving at the one end of the line in consequence of the faults is derived. This derived signal is used to deduce the values of the components of the derived signal attributable to the different faults for each of a number of assumptions as to which phases are faulted. The deduced values for the different assumptions are then used to determine which assumption is most likely to be correct.

Title: Cold-rolled reinforcing steel and process for its manufacture

Filed: 1995-01-16
Granted: 1997-09-24
Abstract: In a reinforcing steel that has indentations (4) rolled into a steel rod of approximately circular cross section, the indentations are formed as the reinforcing steel is unwound through circular arcs of different radii set axially symmetrical relative to the indentation. The indentations are rolled into the surface of the rod at a constant depth and have steep flanks. This ensures sufficient bonding despite a lower deformation effort, providing for better ductility parameters. Furthermore, the coiled reinforcing steel has better directivity and improved suitability for welding in the manufacture of welded wire mesh. A process for manufacturing such a reinforcing steel comprises at least two deformation steps.
