Abstract: An angled backrest support (2) with top and bottom arm has its bottom arm pivot mounted on a bearing positioned on the seat's bottom part. The front end of the support's bottom arm has a series of cavities in the form of front-open tooth spaces (3) into which fits a locking hook (1). The hook is forced by a spring (4) out of the movable sloping plane at the end of a sliding selector shaft movable by a bistable actuator. The bistable actuator comprises a grooved slide body movable towards the selector shaft and joined to it. At right angles to the direction of the slide body's movement is a slide ring movable in a guide.

Date Jul. 25, 1996An apparatus and method of preparing bundles for binding, where the method is carried out at a high processing frequency and the device is of a compact construction, where bundles of sheets are raised from the upper end of a supply stack of a punching device in a continuous manner by means of an engagement tool and the respective bundle is displaced by a pusher, with the result that its opposite border region projects into a punching device and is processed there. Lifting edges of two rotating disc segments then engage beneath the opposite border of the bundle, the border being retained by the pusher, and raise the border until the region adjoining it is clamped between partially cylindrical clamping surfaces of the disc segments, the clamping surfaces adjoining the lifting edge, and a likewise rotating clamping roller, and the bundle is fed, counter to the displacement direction, to a transportation device, where the bundles are clamped between two pairs of transporting belts and are transported to an end stack. The bundles are turned at the same time they are transported. The bundles follow one after the other at a distance which is smaller than the width of a bundle, with the result that they overlap in an imbricated manner.

A further subject of the present invention is a procedure that defines the chemical and physical conditions necessary for completion of the proteolytic activity of the above polypeptides. The invention further comprises new compositions of matter (expression vectors) containing nucleotide sequences capable of expressing the above mentioned polypeptides in culture cells. Finally, new compounds of matter are defined, suitable to measure the above proteolytic activity, and useful to develop NS3 protease inhibitors and therefore therapeutic agents for use against HCV. The figure shows the kinetic parameters of HCV NS3 protease using the S3 depsipeptide substrate (SEQ ID NO:45).

Abstract: The support of the transducer (5) comprises an active surface on which piezoelectric elements (6) are arranged juxtaposed in one direction at least of the active surface of the transducer. A mirror (7) having a surface (7') reflecting the ultrasounds is directed towards the active surface of the transducer (5). The reflecting surface (7') is oriented so as to transmit to successive zones of the surface of the elongate part (2) the ultrasounds coming from each of the piezoelectric elements (6), and to send back the ultrasounds reflected by the surface of part (2) towards the piezoelectric elements (6). The transducer (5) is connected to the mirror (7) so that the distance between the transducer and mirror can be adjusted in an axial direction. The invention applies particularly to the control of tubes from the outside or the inside and more particularly to the control of steam generator tubes of nuclear reactors, or sheath-tubes of fuel assemblies.

Abstract: In a control system for controlling a motor-driven injection molding machine that comprises an injection unit driven by a servo-motor and a speed feedback control loop for controlling the servo-motor, an amplifier produces a command signal indicative of a torque command value for the servo motor in accordance with a difference between a sensed speed value obtained by a rotation speed sensor and a speed command value. A pressure sensor senses a pressure of resin within a mold to produce a sensed pressure signal indicative of a sensed pressure. A correction amplifier amplifies the sensed pressure signal to produce an amplified signal as a correction value for a torque command value. An adder adds the torque command value and the correction value to produce an addition result to a motor drive. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Multi-cavity injection molding apparatus having four nozzle manifolds (10) mounted in a common plane with a central inlet manifold (20) having two arms extending in opposite directions. The central manifold (20) has a longitudinal axis (24) extending in a first direction through the two arms. Each nozzle manifold (10) is offset from the central manifold (20) in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (24). Each nozzle manifold (10) has a locating pin (86) to locate it in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The locating pin (86) allows thermal expansion to slide the nozzle manifold (10) in the first direction into a position wherein each branch of the melt passage (44) is aligned with the melt bore (48) through one of the nozzles (46) extending from the nozzle manifold (10). A pair of the nozzle manifolds (10) are connected on opposite sides of each arm of the central manifold (20) by connector bushings (30). Each connector bushing (30) is sufficiently slidable to absorb thermal expansion in the second direction which allows the locating pin (86) to be used to locate each nozzle manifold (10) in the second direction. Thus, the combination of the connector bushing (30) and the locating pin (86) allow sufficient movement of the nozzle manifold (10) in both the first and second directions to provide for thermal expansion of the heated manifold relative to the cooled mold. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The guide comprises foils with air flow diverting surfaces (16,18) positioned on to the side of the web (14) being transported by the felt (12). The boundary layer of air entrained by the web on the opposite side to the felt is forced through the gap between the foils and the web, creating a build-up of pressure at the entrance to the gap that urges the web downwards onto the felt. Preferably the foils are positioned on both sides of the web at an angle pointing towards the centre of the web in the machine direction (24). Foils on the opposite side of the felt strip entrain air away from the felt, creating a vacuum that sucks the web against the felt.

Abstract: A reagent test strip is adapted for use in a blood glucose meter. A sample of whole blood is applied to one surface of a matrix on the strip and the meter measures the reflectance of the opposite surface of the matrix at about 635 nm and 700 nm and calculates from the reflectances the concentration of glucose in the sample. The portion of the applied sample that penetrates the matrix and is visible from the testing surface does not absorb to any appreciable extent at 700 nm. Nevertheless, the glucose-containing sample interacts with the components of the reagent-containing matrix to cause a change in reflectance at 700 nm that simulates the effect of the blood color. As a result, the strip can be used in meters that measure glucose concentration in whole blood samples in the presence of optically visible hemoglobin. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Nutritional chocolate-flavored beverage mixes and other edible mixes that are fortified with highly bioavailable sources of iron such as ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulfate, yet do not develop undesirable gray color when the beverage mix is reconstituted with water or milk, even when the water or milk has been boiled. This problem of gray color development is solved by including edible acids such as citric or malic acid as buffering agents in the beverage mix so that the pH of the reconstituted chocolate beverage is about 6.5 or less. An additional benefit of including these edible buffering acids/salts is that they tend to stabilize the chocolate aroma in the reconstituted beverage. Inclusion of these edible buffering acids/salts in ready-to-serve chocolate-flavored beverages fortified with these highly bioavailable iron sources also prevents the formation of undesirable gray color.
