Abstract: A metaphor selecting/switching system in an information processor which incorporates metaphor and function groups 3 and 2 independently, selects a matched metaphor/function combination based on similarities between metaphors and functions and lets input and output of information be performed via an input/output means comprises attribute lists 4 and 5 having information on attributes and similarities regarding each metaphor and each function, a similarity calculator means 6 for calculating similarities from the information on the similarities regarding each metaphor and each function, and a control means 7 for controlling the switching of one metaphor to another and the matching of a particular metaphor with a particular function, said switching of one metaphor to another being performed by calculating said similarities whenever operation is performed via said input/output means. Thus, the function or metaphor having the highest similarity is automatically selected as a well- matched metaphor/function combination. This makes it unnecessary for the user to memorize which metaphor corresponds to which function, and so releases the user from troublesome work. In addition, the user can be presented with information with the metaphor most familiar to her or him, because the matching of metaphors with functions is achieved in terms of similarities therebetween. Even with an information processor having additional functions, the work load on the user can be reduced, because it can be used with metaphors familiar with her or him.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a method is disclosed for the remediation of scar tissue in a human or an animal by introducing into the scar tissue or into tissue adjacent the scar tissue a remedial composition comprising a bioactive material selected from naturally occurring growth factors, synthetic growth factors, active peptide segments of naturally occurring and synthetic growth factors, and mixtures thereof. Typically the remedial composition includes a biodegradable or non-biodegradable support matrix material to provide for timed release of the bioactive material. 
     Preferably, the support matrix material is biodegradable and is selected from the group consisting of collagen, glycosaminoglycan, gelatin, albumin, hyaluronic acid, heparin, oxidized cellulose, dextran, polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polyanhydride and mixtures thereof. 
     Most scar tissue, particularly in human beings, is very dense and is difficult for the remedial composition described above to penetrate. To render the scar tissue less dense and to spatially expand the scar tissue fibrils, it is preferable to introduce into the scar tissue a softening, expanding composition as well as the remedial composition containing the bioactive material. The softening, expanding composition can be introduced simultaneously with introduction of the remedial composition; however, it is preferable that the softening, expanding composition be introduced prior to the remedial composition. A preferred softening, expanding composition includes at least one dried collagen-comprising polymer, at least one polymer hydrogel and a non-aqueous liquid carrier material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making microstructures having structure depths ranging from several  mu m up into the mm region by imagewise irradiation of polymers with X-rays and removal of the imagewise irradiated regions of the polymers. Before the imagewise irradiation, the polymers, which have layer thicknesses ranging from several  mu m up into the mm region are applied under pressure to an electrically conductive base and firmly anchored by melting in a frame and using a pressure ram. The process according to the invention is suitable, in particular, for making microstructures having structure depths of between 3  mu m and 2000  mu m and very fine lateral dimensions of less than 10  mu m. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electromagnetic fluid pressure transducer 10 is provided which uses the opposing magnetic fields of a permanent magnet 12 and an electromagnet 34 to sense a change in a differential force. The differential force is the result of a pressure applied to the unequal surface areas of two pistons 22,26 attached to opposite poles of the permanent magnet 12. The differential force displaces the permanent magnet 12 which activates a counter 42 whose output controls the field strength of an electromagnet 34. The magnetic field of the electromagnet 34 is varied by the counter output to counterbalance the differential force by interacting with the field of the permanent magnet 12. The field strength of the electromagnet 34 is varied until the magnetic force is sufficient to overcome the differential force and return the permanent magnet 12 to its original position which stops the counter 42. As a result, the counter output which changes in proportion to change in the ambient pressure acting against the pistons can be used to indicate pressure.

Abstract: As a charger-side connector is pushed into a car body-side connector, push-out slanting surfaces of a spring plate slide respectively along push-out slanting surfaces of a deep hole halfway, and therefore a restoring force tends to push the charger-side connector back. Namely, if the hold is released halfway, the two connectors are moved away from each other, so that the electrical connection is broken. On the other hand, when the connector is pushed until each leading portion of the spring plate passes past a peak defined by a portion of connection between a drawing slanting surface the push-out slanting surface of the deep hole, the charger-side connector is drawn. Namely, although the connector is pushed out halfway, it is drawn when it passes past this halfway point, so that the two connectors are automatically connected together electrically if the hold is released.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell of horizontal type constructed such that the electrolytic cell proper is divided horizontally by one or two ion exchange membranes. If one ion exchange membrane is used, the cell is divided into a cathode and an anode compartment holding a gas electrode. If two ion exchange membranes are used, the cell is divided into a cathode compartment (14), an intermediate compartment (15), and an anode compartment (16). This arrangement permits the gas electrode (23) and the current collector (22) to be in contact with each other under a uniform pressure, and also allows for smooth gas discharge. This leads to a reduction in the electrolytic potential of the cell.

Abstract: A mobile unit communication system comprises: mobile units; a TDMA base station for transmitting and receiving a TDMA signal having a first frame to/from mobile units within a service area thereof in a TDMA/TDD manner; and a CDMA base station adjacent to the TDMA base station, for transmitting and receiving a CDMA signal having a second frame to/from mobile units in a CDMA/TDD manner, at least one of these base stations having a frame synchronizing circuit for detecting a phase between the first and second frames and synchronizing the first and second frames according to the detected phase. Each mobile unit has a first circuit for communicating with the TDMA base station in a TDMA mode; and a second circuit for communicating with the CDMA base station in a CDMA mode. First and second frames have the same length and are synchronized to eliminate the necessity of synchronizing operation when the mobile unit moves to the other service area. A unique word attached to a framed data is commonly defined between the TDMA and CDMA signals, so that a unique word detection circuit can be used commonly. The TDMA and CDMA signals have the same frequency band, so that the antenna portion can be used commonly. The TDMA and CDMA signals have the same amount of data per channel in a frame, so that modulation and demodulation circuits can be used commonly.
