Abstract: A transfer capable of applying one- or multi-colored patterns to textiles under heat and pressure comprises a carrier sheet ( 1 ) having a non-binding surface which carries (a) a one- or multi-colored pattern ( 5 ) printed on the carrier sheet using a digitally controlled color printer; (b) a transparent ( 6 ) or white-pigmented ( 7 ) elastomer layer of a polymer having a high plasticizing point printed configuratively on the pattern ( 5 ); and (c) a heat-activatable thermoplastic polymeric glue layer ( 8 ) printed configuratively on the transparent ( 6 ) or white-pigmented ( 7 ) elastomer layer or a heat-activatable hot melt granulate sprinkled on the elastomer layer while said layer was still wet. An even better encapsulation of the colored pattern is obtained when the carrier sheet has printed thereon a first transparent elastomer layer of a polymer having a high plasticizing point, and the pattern is printed on this elastomer layer using a digitally controlled color printer. Additional strength is obtained when both a transparent elastomer layer and a white-pigmented elastomer layer are printed on top of the colored pattern.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method, a sensor and a radiographic imaging system in real time for discriminating the low energy ionizing radiation, corresponding at least partially to dispersion radiation, thereby eliminating their contribution in the sensed image, so as to increase the contrast, for relatively reduced amounts of incident radiation. In the figure is presented a radiographic system more particularly designed for radiotherapy, basically consisting of an accelerator (1) emitting a collimated beam (3) of photons and in particular of X-rays towards a patient lying down (2). The patient is positioned so as to enable the best possible localization not only of the collimated gamma or X-ray beam impact but its depth as well and the localization of the portion where the major part of the dose is to be delivered. For this purpose, the installation comprises a sensor (4), located subjacent which interprets the sensed signals by means of a microcomputer (5), after interfacing, so as to provide in real time a corresponding image, which can be immediately interpreted.

Abstract: This invention disclosed (2S,3R)-3(6-aminopurin-9-yl) aralkan-2-ols, a novel class of adenine derivatives (also called 9-aralkyladenines, ARADS), which have been shown to inhibit the enzyme adenosine deaminase at therapeutically useful levels. The relevant inhibitory constant (Ki) values are in the range of 10-7-10-10M. These compounds with potencies in this range can reversibly inhibit ADA in an effective manner, without permanently deactivating the enzyme. ADA inhibitors that have similar biological profiles have been shown to be of therapeutic value when used to protect heart muscle against ischemic damage.

Abstract: A process for producing an SOI substrate is disclosed which is useful for saving resources and lowering production cost. Further, a process for producing a photoelectric conversion device such as a solar cell is disclosed which can successfully separate a substrate by a porous Si layer, does not require a strong adhesion between a substrate and a jig, and can save resources and lower production cost. In a substrate having a porous layer on a nonporous layer and further having on the porous layer a layer small in porosity, the nonporous layer and the layer small in porosity are separated by the porous layer to form a thin film. A metal wire is wound around a side surface of the substrate, and a current is made to flow into the metal wire to generate a heat from the metal wire and transfer the heat preferentially to the porous layer, thus conducting the separation. The separated substrate is used for producing an SOI substrate and the separated nonporous Si layer is reutilized in a process of producing an SOI substrate. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a compliant catheter balloon with an improved elastic response and reduced longitudinal expansion, and a method of forming the same. The balloon comprises a SEBS block copolymer, which is longitudinally pre-stretched during the balloon manufacture process. In order to control the working length of a balloon on a catheter, at least one adhesive stop is provided on the catheter which prevents adhesive from wicking into the working length of the balloon. Preferably, a pair of thermoset tubings with an outer diameter size close to the size of the inner diameter of the balloon are inserted on the distal portion of the catheter. After the proper placement of the balloon, the adhesive is applied at the balloon's proximal and distal ends. As the adhesive wicks to the balloon, the thermoset tubings will eventually stop the adhesive to prevent further wicking of adhesive into the balloon's working length. In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a balloon catheter to improve centering of the balloon on the catheter. After a balloon tubing is stretched, the stretched tubing is clamped to a fixture and stabilized at about 100° C. for 15 minutes. This stabilization step ensures that a balloon mounted on a catheter will inflate in a uniform manner.
