Abstract: The monitoring method involves assigning an individual counter to each virtual connection, their momentary count values detected, to indicate a transmission bit rate above the defined rate when a given count is reached. A global counter records the number of information cells transferred via the virtual connections, summated with the count value provided by each individual counter for comparison with a min. value, to indicate the incorrect transmission bit rate when the sum is below the min. value.

Abstract: A passive-adaptive vibration control system is provided wherein various elements of the system may be adapted on-line in response to sensed vibrations. A spring/weight vibration absorber (160, 165) is attached to a vibrating body, such as the drum (115) of a laundry machine (100), to absorb energy generated by the drum, to minimize the transmission of vibrations to a structure, such as the body of the machine (100) in mechanical communication with the drum. The mass of the weight (160) of the vibration absorber may be adjusted, on-line, to compensate for sensed vibrations. A vibration sensor (170) is connected to the vibrating body so as to sense the level of vibration above a desired level and to send a signal representative of that vibration to an electronic controller (180). The electronic controller (180) is designed to instruct an actuator arrangement (182, 184) to adapt the mass of the weight to compensate for the sensed vibration. For example, the weight (160) may be a chamber, the mass of which may be adjusted by adding or releasing a fluid to or from the chamber via the actuator arrangement (182,184) under the control of the controller (180). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for displaying the voltage of a conductor of a high-voltage power supply system to which a sensor is coupled capacitively and whose output voltage is delivered via a circuit to a voltage display apparatus. The voltage display apparatus comprises an energy store (13), having a rectifier (12) connected upstream, and an electrically controllable switch (15) which switches to the blocking state following discharge of the energy store (13). The voltage display apparatus further comprises a light source (6) which generates flashing signals. In order to control the switch (15), an electronic evaluation and control circuit (14) is provided which is connected on the input side to the output of the rectifier (12) which is connected upstream of the energy store (13). Above a lower limit of the rectifier output voltage, the electronic evaluation and control circuit (14) switches the switch (15) from the blocking state to the conducting state whilst the frequency remains unchanged.

Abstract: Methods for making, methods for using and articles comprising cermets, preferably cemented carbides and more preferably tungsten carbide, having at least two regions exhibiting at least one property that differs are discussed. Preferably, the cermets further exhibit uniform or controlled wear to impart a self-sharpening character to an article. The multiple-region cermets are particularly useful in wear applications. The cermets are manufactured by juxtaposing and densifying at least two powder blends having different properties (e.g., differential carbide grain size or differential carbide chemistry or differential binder content or differential binder chemistry or any combination of the preceding). Preferably, a first region of the cermet comprises a first ceramic component having a relatively coarse grain size and a prescribed binder content and a second region, juxtaposing or adjoining the first region, comprises a second ceramic component, preferably carbide(s), having a grain size less than the grain size of the first region, a second binder content greater than the binder content of the first region or both. These articles have an extended useful life relative to the useful life of monolithic cermets in such applications as, for example, wear. The multiple region cermets of the present invention may be used with articles comprising tools for materials manipulation or removal including, for example, mining, construction, agricultural, and metal removal applications.

Abstract: Recombinant avian sarcoma leukosis virus (ASLV)-derived retrovirus vectors having an expanded host range are described. The host range is expanded by the replacement of the ASLV envelope gene by an envelope gene from a virus capable of infecting both mammalian and avian cells. The resulting recombinant ASLV-derived retroviral vectors can replicate efficiently in avian cells, infect both avian and mammalian cells in high titer, and are replication-defective in mammalian cells. Thus, they are quite safe and advantageous for use in gene therapy and vaccines.

Abstract: The invention features a method for triggering release of a drug from a hydrogel polymer to tissue at a desired location of the body using a catheter. A portion of the catheter is coated on its outer surface with a polymer having the capacity to incorporate a predetermined substantial amount of drug which is immobilized in the polymer until released by a triggering agent or condition that is different from physiological conditions. Upon contact with a triggering agent or condition, the polymer reacts, e.g., swells or contracts, such that the drug is delivered to the desired body tissue. A balloon catheter is shown in which the hydrogel is carried on the exterior surface of the balloon.

Abstract: A double helix antenna comprised of orthogonally-wound helix conductors is disclosed. The double helix antenna system includes a first helix conductor wound in a first direction about a vertical axis of the double helix antenna. A second helix conductor is wound in a second direction about the longitudinal axis. In a specific implementation, the first and second helix conductors are of different lengths, respectively corresponding to first and second frequency bands. Additionally, the first and second helix conductors are wound so as to be orthogonal at those horizontal planes within which the first and second helix conductors intersect or are otherwise minimally separated in the horizontal dimension. This orthogonal winding relationship between the helix conductors substantially reduces mutual coupling, thus enabling operation of separate helical antennas in close physical proximity. In a particular application, the double helix antenna system is incorporated within a portable communications device.
