IPC: B60C13/00
Filed: 2001-04-06
Abstract: A method of producing a tire with a simplified operation and a
high productivity, for improving the lateral rigidity and the steering stability
performance of the tire. An annular laminated body as a reinforcing layer
in the side surface area of the tire is formed by spirally winding and
laminating a ribbon of an unvulcanized rubber embedding a thin gauge and
embedding short fibers with a desired orientation. The annular laminated
body is applied at a position corresponding to the side surface area of the tire,
between the outer rubber and the inner liner rubber, upon formation of a
green tire for the tire.

Title: Near-field optical head
Inventor: SHINOHARA YOKO
IPC: G11B7/122
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: A near-field optical head capable of rapid recording and/or
reproducing of the information is provided. The near-field
optical head condenses the light from the light source and
irradiates the light on the minute opening 1. Then, by means
of detecting the reflected light from the light condensing mark
501 provided on the circumference of the minute opening 1, the
relative position between the light condensing point condensed
by the lens and the light condensing mark 501 is detected so that
the light condensing point is controlled to follow the light
condensing mark 501. Thus, intensive and constant near-field
light can be generated in the minute opening 1 and a signal having
high S/N can be obtained even by a rapid scanning of the minute
opening 1 over the recording medium so that rapid recording and/or
reproducing of the information is made possible.

Abstract: A cable management and data acquisition method and apparatus to store
system data and data from activity sensors when the sensors are
disconnected from a monitoring system. The apparatus (100, 102) includes a
housing (110, 146), a first connection port (120, 122, 160, 162, 164) operable
to receive information from one or more activity sensors, a device interface
(105, 141) coupled to the first connection port, a non-volatile memory (104,
140) coupled to the device interface; and an output port (114, 150) coupled to
the device interface. The cable management and data acquisition apparatus
may also include a digital-to-analog converter (106, 142) to convert analog
signals from sensors to digital signals. Preferably, the device interface (105,
141) is an application specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") that communicates
with a signal processor in the monitoring processor. The signal processor
responds to commands or messages from the monitoring processor and
reads data from and writes data to the memory in the cable management and
data acquisition apparatus through the ASIC. The cable management and
data acquisition apparatus prevents the loss of patient data when a patient
monitoring system is disconnected from the activity sensors attached to a
patient, such as might occur when a patient is moved from one location to
another. Data stored in the memory of the apparatus can be readily retrieved
when the patient arrives to the new location so as to maintain a record of
identification data and permit the tracking of trends.

Abstract: A system (10) and method for radiographic inspection of airfoil structure (16)
on aircraft (12) includes a radiation source (30) located on one side of the
airfoil structure (16) and a radiation detection module (32) located on an
opposing side of the airfoil structure (16). The radiation detection module
(32) comprises an X-Y scanning device positioned to receive radiation from
the radiation source (30) and a radiation detector is mounted on the X-Y
scanning device so as to be moveable relative to the airfoil structure (16)
along two mutually orthogonal axes. In operation, the radiation detector is
moved in a predetermined raster pattern while the radiation source (30) is
emitting radiation. This allows a large area to be inspected with single
positioning of the X-Y scanning device, thereby improving throughput. The
radiation detector converts impinging radiation into electrical signals, and a
computer system (10) processes the signals to generate radiographic images
of the airfoil structure (16).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des vecteurs adénoviraux de première génération et des vaccins anti VIH à base adénovirale de recombinaison associés, qui présentent une meilleure stabilité et de meilleures propriétés de croissance, ainsi qu'une plus grande immunité à médiation cellulaire. Ces vecteurs adénoviraux sont utilisés afin créer et de produire, par culture cellulaire, divers vaccins anti VIH-1 à base adénovirale, qui contiennent des produits pharmaceutiques de polynucléotides gag du VIH-1, pol du VIH-1 et/ou nef du VIH-1, ainsi que des modifications, importantes d'un point de vue biologique, de ceux-ci. Ces vaccins adénoviraux, lorsqu'ils sont directement introduits dans un tissu de vertébré vivant, de préférence un hôte mammifère tel qu'un être humain ou un mammifère non humain d'importance vétérinaire commerciale ou domestique, expriment la protéine Gag, Pol et/ou Nef du VIH-1 ou une modification importante d'un point de vue biologique de celle-ci, ce qui induit une réponse immunitaire cellulaire qui reconnaît de manière spécifique le VIH-1. Les polynucléotides données à titre d'exemples sont des molécules d'ADN synthétisées qui codent la protéine Gag du VIH-1, qui codent la protéine Pol du VIH-1 à optimisation des codons, des dérivés de la protéine Pol du VIH-1 optimisée (y compris des constructions dans lesquelles l'activité de protéase, de transcriptase inverse, de RNase H et d'intégrase de Pol du VIH-1 est inactivée), la protéine Nef du VIH-1 et des dérivés de la protéine Nef du VIH-1 optimisée, y compris des mutants de nef qui effectuent des caractéristiques de type sauvage de Nef, telles que la myristylation et la régulation vers le bas de CD4 hôtes. Les vaccins adénoviraux selon cette invention, lorsqu'ils sont administrés seuls ou dans le cadre d'un régime à modalité combinée, offrent un avantage prophylactique à des individus non infectés précédemment et/ou assurent un effet thérapeutique en réduisant les niveaux de charge virale chez un individu infecté, ce qui permet de prolonger la phase asymptomatique de l'infection par le VIH-1.

Abstract: Weight sensor assemblies for measuring weight on a vehicle seat are mounted at the connecting points between a seat bottom frame and a seat mounting member. The weight sensor assemblies (32) each include a beam member (34) having a bendable center body portion for supporting a strain gage. The strain gage and associated traces are screen printed on the surface of the beam. The beam acts similar to a dual constrained cantilever beam, concentrating the bending at a reduced neck section that narrows in the middle of the center body portion. The strain gage (50) measures strain resulting from bending in the center body portion caused by a weight force being applied against the seat.

Title: Control method and device for ensuring mechanical safety to a gate or door having at least one electrically operated wing
Inventor: MARCHETTO OSCAR
IPC: E05F15/12
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: The invention relates the control of a gate (10) having at least one wing
(11B) electrically operated preferably by a geared motor (13B) with a single-phase
asynchronous motor. A control unit (20) detects and memorize during the
calibration procedure the opening and closing times by computing the opening
and closing working time intervals within which an intervention is necessary in
order to avoid dangerous situations. During normal opening and closing operation,
at the beginning of the stored time intervals, the unit (20) detects the steady
current (Io) and computes a limit value (Io + ΔI) against which the instantaneous
current (I) flowing into the geared motor is compared. When a value I is detected
that is greater or equal to lo + ΔI, due to an obstacle for the movement of the
wing, the geared motor automatically inverts its sense of rotation. 
USE : gates and doors with one or more wings, even different from each other
regarding size and movement. 
ADVANTAGES : simplicity and low construction and calibration cost. Reliable
operation.

further includes a means (50,52,54) for determining the orientation of the motors (20) at a specified point of
