Abstract: Porphyrazine compounds having moieties substituted at the eight peripheral  beta -pyrrole positions are disclosed. The porphyrazine compounds have the general structural formula:   <IMAGE>   wherein M is H2 or a metal capable of complexing with the pyrrole nitrogen atoms, and A, B, C and D are independently selected from the group consisting of a thio moiety, an amino moiety, an oxo moiety, a phospho moiety, a seleno moiety, a telluro moiety and a non-coordinating moiety, like a hydrocarbon moiety, with the proviso that not all of A, B, C and D are a thio moiety and that not all of A, B, C, and D are a hydrocarbon moiety. The porphyrazine compounds, depending on the identity of A, B, C and D, are capable of complexing one to four metal ions to the periphery of the porphyrazine to form a multimetallic porphyrazine. Multimetallic porphyrazine compounds can be linked by the peripherally-complexed metal ions to form a linear, i.e., ribbon, polymer or a two-dimension, i.e., sheet polymer. The porphyrazine compounds, and the multimetallic complexes and polymers derived therefrom, are useful in, or as, magnet materials, molecular metal conductors, pharmaceuticals, imaging agents, and dyes.

Abstract: A method for inspecting a surface of a moving strip to detect surface defects, which includes forming at least one digital picture of at least one face of the strip, in which the digital picture is made up of a set of successive rows of picture elements, each of which is assigned a digital value. The method also includes filtering the at least one digital picture to detect surface irregularities by detecting relative variations in the digital values, and processing the at least one filtered digital picture to identity a type of surface defect corresponding to each detected irregularity. Further, prior to the processing step, an overall characterization of each of the irregularities is performed by determining, a value of predetermined parameters characteristic of surface defects, and a prior classification of the irregularities is performed based on the determined values of the parameters, according to a set of predefined classes. The processing step is performed on each class, and the predetermined parameters characteristic of the surface irregularities is less than a total number of parameters used to identify the defect.

Abstract: Multiple sample introduction means have been configured in Atmospheric Pressure Ion sources which are interfaced to mass analyzers. Different samples can be introduced through multiple Electrospray (ES) or Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) probes individually or simultaneously and ionized. The gas phase ion mixture resulting from individual solutions sprayed from multiple ES or APCI probe inputs is mass analyzed. In this manner a calibration solution can be introduced through one ES or APCI probe while one or more sample solutions are spray from additional probes. Simultaneous spraying of calibration and sample solutions, results in an acquired mass spectrum containing peaks of ions with known molecular weights as well as sample related peaks. The calibration peaks can be used as an internal calibration standard during data analysis. Acquisition of mass spectra containing internal calibration peaks can be achieved by spraying different solutions simultaneously from multiple inlet probes without having to mix calibration and sample solutions in the liquid phase. Arrangements of ES and APCI probes can be configured in one API source chamber and the solution flow through any combination of ES or APCI probes can be switched on or off during an analytical run. A single mass analyzer can serve as a detector for multiple separation systems each delivering sample solution through separate ES or APCI inlet probes into an atmospheric pressure ion source.

Abstract: A linear stimulating ray source produces stimulating rays and linearly irradiates them to a portion of a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image has been stored. A photoelectric read-out system divides light, which is emitted from the portion of a front surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to the stimulating rays and/or the portion of a back surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet corresponding to the portion of the front surface exposed to the stimulating rays, into picture elements along a length direction of the portion exposed to the stimulating rays, and photoelectrically reads out the divided picture elements by arraying them in a two-dimensional form. A scanning system moves the stimulable phosphor sheet with respect to the linear stimulating ray source and the photoelectric read-out system and in a direction, which is approximately normal to the length direction of the portion exposed to the stimulating rays.

Abstract: Various enhancements are provided to a pushbutton lock to enhance its security. One is the provision of button tips that are mounted on the ends of the button assemblies and spring-loaded to protrude from the face of the lock, regardless of whether the underlying button is "in" or "out". By this arrangement, a bystander cannot readily see the button combination by the pattern of depressed buttons. This arrangement also reduces tactile feedback between the underlying button assembly and the externally available button tips, increasing resistance to pick attacks. A further enhancement is the provision of button bars between adjacent pairs of button tips. Whenever any of the button tips is manually depressed, the corresponding button bar is pressed into engagement with, and prevents movement of, a member that must be moved in order to unlock the lock. This arrangement further increases lock security by preventing an attacker from experimentally pressing buttons and judging the tactile effect thereon in attempted unlockings of the lock. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for minimizing disruption during a frequency search excursion to a target frequency. The method may be preformed as part of inter-frequency hard-handoff between cells on different RF CDMA channels. The method minimizes search times by tuning a selected mobile station (102) to a target frequency and collecting chip samples which are then stored in a buffer (207). Pilot searches and pilot strength measurements are not performed while on the target frequency. The selected mobile station (102) is tuned back to the original frequency and simultaneously resumes reception of forward link and transmission of reverse link communications. The chip samples collected on the target frequency are processed to calculate pilot strength. In another embodiment, the method minimizes disruption of service on the current frequency during the frequency search by increasing the amount of power allocated to other symbols contained in a data frame impacted by the search excursion. This power increase is a function of search excursion time.
