Abstract: Provided are silane copolymers formed from one or more polyisocyanates, one or more organo-functional silanes and one or more lubricious polymers having at least two functional groups. The silane copolymers are prepared by reacting one or more polyisocyanates with one or more lubricious polymers having at least two functional groups, which may be the same or different, that are reactive with an isocyanate functional group and with one or more organo-functional silanes having at least two functional groups, which may be the same or different, that are reactive with an isocyanate functional group, and at least one functional group reactive with a silicone rubber substrate. The silane copolymers are useful as coatings for polysiloxane (rubber) and other difficult to coat substrates, especially for medical devices, such as catheters.

Abstract: A context relocation method used for header compression when seamless
SRNS relocation is performed in an asynchronous IMT-2000 system transmits
respective SN field values of compressor context and decompressor context
together with SSR information from a source RNC or a target RNC to a UE when
an SRNC, which manages dedicated radio resource assigned to a user
equipment, performs SSR, and therefore, transmission efficiency can be improved
as well as the UE and the target RNC which became the SRNC after SSR can be
synchronized with the contexts of each other after the relocation..

Abstract: Printing masters are produced by use of an inkjet printing system. 
     The smallest halftone dot size which can be printed by the inkjet printing system is larger
than the size of a pixel of the recording grid defined by the addressability of the printing
device. 
     The error diffusion algorithm is especially adapted to make use of the high addressability of
the recording system. 
     Using a sub-dot phase modulated error diffusion halftoning algorithm allows for the distance
between the halftone dots to be modulated in much smaller increments than the size of the
halftone dots themselves. 
     Results can be further improved by dynamically influencing the threshold value in the error
diffusion algorithm in accordance with previous output quantisation determinations.
Variable coverage percentage of the pixels can be taken into account. 
     The method can be extended to multilevel systems.

Abstract: A continuous casting method is demonstrated, in which a slab
including a liquid core 11 is bulged and then reduced in its thickness with a
reduction roll pair 7, in which case, the uppermost surface of the lower roll 7b
in the reduction roll pair 7 is located at a higher level than the lower pass line
9 of the slab. With this method, the slab can be efficiently reduced in its
thickness without any loss of reduction force and the generation of
segregation can be suppressed at the center area of the slab in the thickness
direction. 
     A continuous casting apparatus according to the invention is suitable
for carrying out the continuous casting method according to the invention. 
     A slab produced by the method according to the invention has good
quality, since the segregation at the center area can be improved over the
entire width in which the liquid core 11 is included.

Abstract: This invention detects an operating voltage output from a power supply circuit of an electric device using a control microcomputer, and makes a power supply detection circuit protecting the control microcomputer from an overvoltage and, a reduced voltage, compact. The power supply detection circuit includes a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit includes a first switching element. The second circuit includes a first voltage detection element and a second switching element. The third circuit includes a second voltage detection element and a third switching element. If a proper voltage is output from a voltage output terminal, the third circuit is made continuous, thereby turning on the first switching element and inputting a proper voltage signal to a power fail terminal of the control microcomputer. If an overvoltage is output, the second circuit is made continuous and the power fail terminal is set at a ground potential, thereby protecting the control microcomputer. If a reduced voltage is output from the terminal, none of the first circuit, the second circuit, and third circuit are made continuous, whereby the control microcomputer detects that the reduced voltage is output.
