Abstract: The invention concerns a device for tensioning the cut-in spring in actuator units for circuit breakers, in particular vacuum circuit breaker, the cut-in spring (7) being designed as a tensioning spring which is in contact with a cam (2) mounted on the cut-in shaft (5) and which can be tensioned both by an electric motor (20) and by a hand-turned shaft (21) through a spur-gear train, the last spur gearwheel (1) also being mounted on the cut-in shaft (5). The aim of the invention is to design a tensioning device in which the spur-gear train operates without overrunning, and reversing of the cam (2) is prevented or limited by the cut-in spring (7). This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the last spur gearwheel (1) in the spur-gear train is disposed over an overrunning bearing (6) on the cut-in shaft (5) in such a way that, when cut-in spring tensioning begins, the cam (2) and hence also the cut-in shaft (5), are carried directly by the last spur gearwheel (1) out of a position in which they are located past the bottom dead centre position (9) of the shaft (5) as the cam (2) rotates upwards, while, during the cut-in phase, the last spur gearwheel (1) is locked in position, when the cut-in shaft (5) turns through bottom dead centre (9), by the overrunning bearing (6) and by the operative connection with the other spur gearwheels in the spur-gear train.

Abstract: Novel, heterocyclic compounds having at least one ring nitrogen, disclosed side chains and, in some embodiments, an oxygen ortho to the ring nitrogen inhibit inflammatory responses associated with TNF- alpha  and fibroblast proliferation in vivo and in vitro. The compounds of the invention neither appreciably inhibit the activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase nor the hydrolysis of phosphatidic acid, and are neither cytotoxic nor cytostatic. Preferred compounds of the invention are esters. Methods for the use of the novel compounds to inhibit ceramide-mediated intracellular responses to stimuli in vivo (particularly TNF- alpha ) are also described. The methods are expected to be of use in reducing inflammatory responses (for example, after angioplasty), in limiting fibrosis (for example, of the liver in cirrhosis), in inhibiting cell senescence, cell apoptosis and UV induced cutaneous immune suppression.

Abstract: Apparatus and method combine, in real time, weather radar data in digital format from multiple radar sites into a mosaic covering a regional or national area (e.g., the continental United States). Such apparatus and method are implementable as computer software that can be run on a general purpose computer such as a personal computer. Preferably, a database of "lookup tables" are used to project individual radar data bins directly to a grid of the desired coordinate system for that mosaic. Using these lookup tables, each of a plurality of radar data bins is converted to a corresponding grid location or box in a mosaic image. While each radar data bin is mapped to a grid box for the mosaic, not every such grid box within the coverage area of the radar may receive such a data bin. Any resulting holes in the produced mosaic are then identified using yet another grid whose locations correspond to those of the mosaic but which instead provide information regarding the data then appearing in corresponding locations in that mosaic. Each such hole is then filed with data from the locationally closest data bin.

Abstract: Compressed, purified, vaporous air and liquid air streams are introduced into a higher pressure rectification column 18 through inlets 20 and 34, respectively. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid flows from an outlet 46 of the higher pressure rectification column 18 via a reboiler 48 and an expansion valve 50 into a vessel 52. The oxygen-enriched liquid is partially vaporised in a boiler 54 located in the vessel 52. The residual liquid flows via an outlet 61 from the vessel 52 and a condenser 64 to an inlet 66 to a lower pressure rectification column 56 in which oxygen and nitrogen products are separated. A stream of vapour flows from the boiler 54 through an outlet 58 from the vessel 52 to a pipeline 60 which leads the air back for compression with incoming air. A greater yield of oxygen, and, if separated, argon is made possible by this recycle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for quantitatively determining an antibody, contained in a biological sample, having the ability to inhibit the activity of a reverse transcriptase derived from an HIV, comprising: reacting a hybridization product, immobilized on a solid phase, of a primer consisting essentially of oligodeoxythymine nucleotide and an RNA template consisting essentially of adenine ribopolynucleotide with a reverse transcriptase derived from HIV, to thereby bind the reverse transcriptase to the hybridization product; conducting a synthesis of a DNA complementary to the RNA template from a deoxymononucleotide triphosphate in the presence of the reverse transcriptase activity-inhibiting antibody; and measuring the amount of the synthesized DNA and quantitatively determining the above-mentioned antibody, based on the measured amount of the synthesized DNA. The method of the present invention can be performed with ease and with high reproducibility in classifying and quantitatively determining the antibodies against the epitopes of a viral reverse transcriptase. By the method of the present invention, not only the virus having mutated during a latent period thereof, and the properties which the virus exhibits as a result of the mutation, but also a virus having acquired drug resistance as a result of the administration of the drugs to the host, can be studied by quantitatively determining the antibodies. Further, it has also become possible to accurately and promptly determine the changes in the infected host, such as the change in the ability to produce antibodies, which occur in accordance with the progression of illness.

Abstract: The invention relates to modems designed to allow transmission of data between a terminal (a personal computer or PC) and a network. To improve the operating versatility of a modem or its utilization by a smartcard, the modem is equipped according to the invention with a receptacle (80) for receiving a smartcard (120), with a connector (110) for this card and a card interface circuit (100), and the microcontroller (50) of the modem (the microcontroller controlling communication with the network when commanded by the PC) also controls the card interface circuit. This microcontroller thus constitutes the kernel of the modem and at the same time the kernel of a card reader. The communication with the card is effected by commands known as "AT' and the systematic prefix sequence "AT' (whereby the microcontroller recognizes that it has to carry out an operation) is followed by a second systematic prefix sequence if a communication operation between the terminal and the card is to be effected. The second prefix sequence is "+G'.

Abstract: A method and a device manufactures a fastening element with interlocking elements integrated with a backing. The interlocking elements are produced by introducing a thermoplastic into the gap between a pressure roller and a shaping roller. The shaping roller has a screen with cylindrical openings produced by etching, electroplating or a laser so that the finished interlocking elements result exclusively from hardening the thermoplastic, at least in part, in the openings, in the screen. This method allows preparation of the shaping roller at very low cost. In addition, a previously customary second method step in formation of the interlocking elements is eliminated.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method, for using circular mode magnetic microwave energy to heat the interior regions of a work piece of wood fiber and glue. The microwaves are generated and transmitted as rectangular waveguide mode microwave energy, and are converted by mode converter to circular magnetic mode microwave energy. As circular magnetic mode microwave energy, the microwave energy passes through a work piece or billet of material is reflected on the other side, and travels through the billet a second time. Reflected microwave energy from the main reflected wave as well as reflections from other structures, surfaces and layers in the system travel back toward the microwave source. They are sensed, and a computer tuning system causes capacitive probes to generate offsetting microwave reflections, which are opposite in phase and equal in magnitude to the sum of all of the reflected waves. These induced reflections cancel and negate the reflected microwaves, resulting in optimum utilization of microwave energy to heat the wood in the billet.
