lecithin which is useful for defoaming liquids, such as
blood. In one aspect of the invention the composition
includes inorganic particles. In another aspect of the
invention the composition includes a silicone. Such
compositions are particularly suitable for use as a

Abstract: An arrhythmia detection system provides automatic detection criteria
adjustment in an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (30) that applies
arrhythmia terminating electrical energy to a heart responsive to detection of the
arrhythmic episode of the heart. A first detector (82) detects arrhythmic
episodes of the heart in accordance with detection criteria. A second detector
(90) confirms the detection of each arrhythmic episode by the first detector (82)
and a detection criteria regulator (100) adjusts the detection criteria of the first
detector responsive to confirmation results provided by the second detector.

Abstract: An inkjet printer (10) and printing method for improving print quality. The
printer (10) minimizes the visually perceptible effect of dot placement errors (4,8), dot
size errors (44), and dot shape errors on a printed medium (18) due to depositing drops of
ink from lower print quality printhead nozzles (24). The printer (10) provides a sensor
(30,31) which can test the ink drop output of the printhead nozzles (24) to determine, for
each particular printhead (21) installed in the printer (10), which nozzles (24) are of
higher print quality and which are of lower print quality. A printmask (62) is then defined
based on the results of the testing for use in printing from that printhead (21). The
printmask (62) has a mask pattern which enables the deposition of more ink from higher
quality nozzles (24) and less ink from lower quality nozzles (24). Such a printer (10)
improves print quality without reducing throughput.

Abstract: Bei einer Zweileitungs-Druckmittelbremsanlage für einen
Fahrzeugzug sind im Zugfahrzeug ein Anhängersteuerventil
und im Anhänger ein Anhängerbremsventil (8) angeordnet.
Die Hauptfunktion des Anhängerbremsventiles besteht
darin, im Zusammenwirken mit dem Anhängersteuerventil
eine Abrißsicherung für die beiden Druckschläuche (30,31) herzustellen,
über die der Anhänger (34) an das Zugfahrzeug angekoppelt
ist. 
Anhängersteuerventile, die für den Einsatz in einem
konventionell gebremsten Anhänger vorgesehen sind, verfügen
neben dieser Grundfunktion im allgemeinen über
weitere Zusatzfunktionen; so kann durch eine Zusatzfunktion
beispielsweise die Bremskraft des Anhängers
lastabhängig beeinflußt werden. 
Für das erfindungsgemäße Anhängersteuerventil, welches
vorzugsweise für den Einsatz in einem Anhänger mit
elektronischer Bremsregelung vorgesehen ist, kann auf
alle derartigen Sonderfunktionen verzichtet werden.
Durch die Reduzierung auf die Abrißsicherungs-Grundfunktion
ist das erfindungsgemäße Anhängerbremsventil
gegenüber vergleichbaren Lösungen für konventionell gebremste
Anhänger wesentlich vereinfacht, wodurch auch
Komponenten entfallen, die das Zeitverhalten der Pneumatikbremsung
verschlechtern. Im Gegensatz zu diesen
Lösungen läßt sich das als Schieberventil aufgebaute
Anhängersteuerventil kostengünstig herstellen.

Abstract: A squaring circuit (71) squares a radio
transmission signal. A band-pass filter (72) extracts
a spectrum component corresponding to a desired channel,
from that low-frequency component of the output of the
squaring circuit (71), which occurs with a center
thereof being present near a DC (Direct Current). A
level measuring circuit (74) measures the level of the
extracted spectrum component. On the other hand,
another band-pass filter (73) extracts, from the output
of the squaring circuit (71), a spectrum component
corresponding to spectrum spreading due to a distortion
in a transmission circuit. Another level measuring
circuit (75) measures the level of this extracted
spectrum component. A level radio measuring circuit
(76) measures a ratio between the level measured by the
level measuring circuit (74) and the level measured by
the other level measuring circuit (75), and produces
the measured result as a ratio of a leak power to an
adjacent channel.

Abstract: In the conventional air cargo transportation system,
the transportation of the cargo that is stored inside of the
airport terminal building, to the area of the
loading/unloading door is normally performed using the
package/cargo carts. However, numerous workers were needed
to load the cargo and drive the carts, which is very labor
intensive and entails high manpower costs. The conventional
system is also dangerous as they move along the complex
tarmac markings. To solve these problems, this invention
discloses a loading bridge (1) which employs a cargo conveyor
line (10) comprising a transport means such as a conveyer, which
can be extended or retracted, that connects with a rotunda
extending from the airport terminal building (2); a cargo
conveyor junction (12) having a means to change the direction of
the cargo conveyance by rotating the conveyor surface or
changing its angle to alter the direction of the cargo
conveyance to match the next conveyor line; and another cargo
conveyor line (11) to reach the cargo loading/unloading door (4) of
the aircraft (3), to thereby enable the automated conveyance of
cargo for the aircraft (3) from the airport terminal cargo
holding area to the cargo door (4) of the aircraft (3) to eliminate
the possibility of equipment collisions, to reduce manpower
costs, and to shorten the time required for loading the
aircraft (3).
