Abstract: A circuit selectively adjusts the width of an input pulse. The circuit comprises two stages. The first stage delays a leading edge of the input pulse with respect to a trailing edge of the input pulse in accordance with a first control input. The second stage delays the trailing edge of the input pulse with respect to the leading edge of the input pulse in accordance with a second control input. The input pulse width is adjusted in accordance with a difference between the delay of the leading edge and the delay of the trailing edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a fancy knotted yarn. The treatment air is injected into the yarn channel as primary air via a main bore hole, and as secondary air preferably via two auxiliary bore holes. The introduction of primary air is designed to create a double air vortex, and the introduction of secondary air is designed to ensure the yarn transport and to stabilise the air flow in the yarn channel. The novel solution has surprising advantages in terms of a plurality of quality criteria, predominantly shorter opening lengths, a more uniform vorticity, a number of knots which is higher by approximately 10%, and the possibility of using coarser titers.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to make it possible to fill connecting fasteners of various thicknesses in a single kind of fastener magazine. A connecting fastener is such that the thickness of a connecting band (13a, 13b) is increased or decreased according to the stem diameter of a screw (12a, 12b), whereby the width of the connecting fastener (11a, 11b) as seen in the direction of travel thereof is made constant, and the connecting band (13a, 13b) is brought into engagement with a longitudinal guide groove (5a) formed in the fastener passageway of the fastener magazine (5) of a screw fastening machine. This makes it possible to stably hold the connecting fasteners (11a, 11b) of various stem diameters at a given height, thus improving the versatility of the fastener magazine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements of predictive encoding/decoding operations performed on a signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. The signal is encoded on a block by block basis in such way that a block A-B is predictive encoded independently of any preceding blocks. A start state 715 located somewhere between the end boundaries A and B of the block is encoded using any applicable coding method. Both block parts surrounding the start state is then predictive encoded based on the start state and in opposite directions with respect to each other, thereby resulting in a full encoded representation 745 of the block A-B. At the decoding end, corresponding decoding operations are performed.

Abstract: Prior to a water treatment process, effluent industrial water is first subjected to chemical analysis. In a pre-treatment process, the untreated water is held in a shaft with a dosing station for the admixture of potassium permanganate, oxide groups and carbonate products. The relative proportions of these agents is determined by initial chemical analysis.  The admixed chemicals consist essentially of granular calcium carbonate (71.2), magnesium oxide (0.5) and potassium permanganate (33.5), plus non-toxic trace elements. In the start-up phase the chemicals are admixed at a rate of approximately 60 g/m within a waste water collection or holding system. After three to four weeks the rate at which chemical are admixed is reduced to 30-20 g/m3. Also claimed is a commensurate water pre-treatment plant with a water holding shaft incorporating a hopper and dosing unit for the chemical agents.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un porte-stent amélioré utilisé pour appliquer des revêtements sur des stents. Dans une première forme de réalisation, un fil souple doté de boucles à chacune de ses extrémités, est passé à travers le centre d'un stent. Les boucles sont placées au-dessus des extrémités d'un porte-stent, ce qui applique une tension sur les boucles tout en les écartant radialement jusqu'à ce qu'elles touchent leurs extrémités de stent respectives. Le porte-stent fixe ainsi solidement le stent et empêche son déplacement dans le sens longitudinal et radial pendant le revêtement et réduit au maximum la distribution inégale du matériau de revêtement sur le stent, qui est induite par le porte-stent. Dans une deuxième forme de réalisation, une tige centrale est passée à travers le stent, qui est retenu à ses extrémités par des barres transversales inférieure et supérieure fixées respectivement sur la tige centrale et un guide-tige centrale. Une goupille de blocage insérée dans la tige centrale et le tube-guide fixent le stent entre les barres transversales, ceci empêchant le mouvement du stent pendant le revêtement et réduisant au maximum le masquage dû au porte-stent. Dans une troisième forme de réalisation, une extrémité d'un fil préformé est passée à travers le centre d'un stent, qui est placé au-dessus de plis préformés dans le fil, puis on laisse le fil se dilater pour contacter le diamètre intérieur à au moins deux endroits afin de retenir le stent en place pendant le revêtement, ce qui réduit au maximum le mouvement radial et longitudinal du stent et le masquage dû au porte-stent. Dans une quatrième forme de réalisation, des parties saillantes du porte-stent en forme de v qui sont fixées sur les côtés opposés d'un cadre de porte-stent appliquent une force de compression sur les extrémités du stent pour retenir fermement le stent pendant l'opération de revêtement du stent.

Abstract: A method for transferring an electrically active thin film from an initial substrate to a target substrate including: ion implantation through one face of the initial substrate to create a buried, embrittled film at a determined depth relative to the implanted face of the initial substrate, thus delimiting a thin film between the implanted face and the buried face; fastening the implanted face of the initial substrate with a face of the target substrate; separating the thin film from the remainder of the initial substrate at the level of the buried film; and thinning down the thin film transferred on the target substrate. The implantation dosage, energy, and current are chosen, during the ion implantation, so that concentration in implantation defects is less than a determined threshold, resulting in, within the thinned down thin film, a number of acceptor defects compatible with desired electrical properties of the thin film.

Abstract: Saposin C was shown to be a trophic factor for a variety of cancer cells, e.g., prostate, lung, breast, and colon cancer cells. These cells expressed saposin C and responded to saposin C by increased levels of cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion. Such activities typify and promote the neoplastic process. For prostate cancer, the androgen-insensitive prostate cancer cells responded to saposin C by higher levels of cell proliferation, cell migration and cell invasion than did the androgen-sensitive prostate cells. Stromal cells (from the prostate) were also responsive to saposin C-mediated signals in a manner typical of growth promoting compounds. The androgen-insensitive prostate cells were stimulated by saposin C to express higher levels of the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR), two proteins known to be involved in cell invasion. A conjugate of a peptide of the active region of saposin C (TX14A) and a toxin (saporin) was made and was shown to decrease the survival of prostate cancer cells, and the other cancer cells that were found to express saposin C (including cancers cells of the breast, colon, and lung). This conjugate or a compound of analogous action that inhibits cellular growth acting via a saposin-C binding receptor can be used to decrease tumor growth and/or treat disorders of stromal proliferation (e.g., benign prostatic hyperplasia, atherosclerosis, and vascular restenosis).
