Patent EP-0627648-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHINJO KATSUHIKO C O CANON KAB
IPC: G02F1/141
Filed: 1994-06-03
Abstract: A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates having mutually opposing electrodes thereon, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the substrates so as to form a pixel comprising a pair of the opposing electrodes and the liquid crystal layer therebetween. The liquid crystal layer in a pixel is divided into a plurality of regions having mutually different liquid crystal layer thicknesses, and the pixel is constituted so as to show an applied voltage-transmittance characteristic having an improved linearity suited for gradational display. More specifically, for example, the liquid crystal layer in a pixel is provided with locally varying thicknesses by forming on a substrate pluralities of stripe-shaped projections and indentations at locally different indentation widths so that the projections have a smaller width in a region having a smaller indentation width than in a region having a larger indentation width.

Abstract: A method for performing intrastromal photorefractive keratectomy in the cornea (12) of an eye, using a pulsed laser beam, includes the initial step of focusing the beam to a spot size at a start point (42) in the stroma (22). The start point is located in the stroma and at a predetermined distance behind the epithelium (18) of the cornea. Beginning with the start point, a volume of stromal tissue which is substantially equal to the volume of the spot size is disrupted by the laser beam. Importantly, the photodisruption is accomplished using an irradiance for the beam which is less than ten times greater the threshold for optical breakdown of the stromal tissue. Subsequently, the beam is focused in a patterned sequence to spot sizes at other discrete points in the stroma. At each point the stromal tissue is photodisrupted. With this progressive pattern of photodisruption, each spot is placed substantially adjacent a volume of previously disrupted tissue. The resultant photodisrupted tissue creates a layer (52) which is substantially centro-symmetrical around the optical axis and in which all points in the layer are substantially equidistant from the epithelium. A plurality of layers (52,54,56) can be created.

Abstract: A belt grill is described herein for continuously cooking fast food products on a conveyor formed of counter-rotating heat conductive belts. The belts (10,12) are heated by platens (14,16) disposed above and below whereby a run of the belts passes in heat conductive relationship between the platens, and the food to be cooked is placed in the nip between the rotating belts. The device further includes means (32,34) for tensioning the belts which can be automatically released by increasing the distance between the platens whereby when the distance exceeds a predetermined maximum, all tension on both belts will be released so that the belts can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement. The belts are preferably Teflon (RTM) coated fiberglass and may be disposed at an angle to the horizontal to facilitate grease removal from the cooking process.

Abstract: The present invention enables a device using a Fiber Distributed Data Interface protocol in the Asynchronous Transfer Mode to communicate with another device using a Synchronous Digital Hierarchy protocol in the Asynchronous Transfer Mode, according to a method which is implemented in an associated conversion circuit wherein both devices uses different data formats and transmission speeds. When a FDDI receiver receives a data ATM cell, it detects the start_of_cell of the received data ATM cells and writes the data bytes into FIFO buffer at the same frequency. A counter is incremented each time a data ATM cell is stored in the FIFO buffer. As long as the counter is not equal to 0, the data ATM cell is transmitted byte by byte from the FIFO buffer to a SDH Transmitter on its request at another frequency. The counter is decremented each time a data ATM cell is transmitted. When the counter is equal to 0 then empty ATM cells are generated and transmitted to the SDH Transmitter on its request. Therefore, a multiplexer is required to multiplex data cells and empty cells, and to transmit them to the SDH transmitter with respect to the SDH link speed transmission. Conversely, the ATM cells received by a SDH receiver are stored in a dual port memory. In parallel, the header of the received ATM cell is decoded by an empty cell detection circuit. If the ATM cell is an empty cell, it is discarded from the memory. If the ATM cell is a data cell, the ATM cell is stored in the memory and a counter is incremented. As long as this counter is not equal to 0, one data cell is tranmsitted from the memory to a FDDI transmitter, preceded by a byte delimiter 'TT'. At the end of the data cell transmission, the counter is decremented. If the counter is equal to 0, which means that no data ATM cell has been received from the SDH link, then the FDDI transmitter sends idle byte 'JK' on the FDDI link.

Title: Manual tape dispensing apparatus
Inventor: SCHWARTZ MARK E
IPC: B65B67/06
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: The present invention is a portable manual tape dispensing apparatus for use with a stretchable adhesive tape such as of the type that progressively detackifies when stretched. The apparatus (10) has a supply spool (14) for carrying a supply of the tape and a handle (12) connected to the supply spool for manually grasping and manipulating the apparatus. A mechanism (16) for stretching the tape is arranged and configured to receive the tape from the supply spool. The stretching mechanism has a stretching zone defined between first and second engagement surfaces. The first (32) and second (34) engagement surfaces frictionally engage the tape and move at disparate longitudinal speeds to stretch the tape when the stretching mechanism is activated. A manually operative mechanism is provided for selectively activating the stretching mechanism so an operator can remove the tape from the supply in a substantially detackified stretched condition when the stretching mechanism is activated. The manually operative mechanism also permits the operator to remove the tape from the supply in an unstretched condition.

Abstract: Diagnostic methods capable of discriminating between cell mediated immunologic responses due to on the one hand active tuberculosis caused by bacteria belonging to the tuberculosis complex (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium africanum and Mycobacterium bovis) and on the other hand vaccination with an immunogenic agent conferring immunity to tuberculosis. A diagnostic kit is also provided, comprising a polypeptide (e.g. MPT64) capable of eliciting a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction (Dth) in animals with active tuberculosis, but not in animals vaccinated against TB with an immunogenic agent (e.g. M. bovis BCG strain: Danish 1331). Vaccination with certain BCG strains is thus possible without interfering with the diagnosis of active tuberculosis. Also provided are polypeptide fragments comprising a T-cell epitope of MPT64 as well as nucleic acid fragments encoding these polypeptide fragments.

Abstract: A self-adaptive limiter (51) for use in aircraft control systems during approach and landing is disclosed. Estimated flight path angle (600) is continuously computed during the glidepath tracking phase until a predetermined lock altitude above ground when a nominal flight path angle (604) is latched. Nominal vertical speed (607) is continuously computed below the lock altitude as a function of the latched nominal flight path angle and ground speed of the aircraft. A vertical speed limit (608) function is generated as a function of the nominal vertical speed and radio altitude. During approach and landing a pitch limit (612, 613, 614) is computed from the vertical speed limit, vertical speed, ground speed, and pitch. When a pitch command to the autopilot exceeds the pitch limit(i.e. commands excessive pitch down attitude), it is limited to the pitch limit thus preventing the aircraft from descending below a safe altitude. The invention is self-adaptive since the pitch limit varies in response to changes in the ground speed of the aircraft, wind, and ILS beam angles.
