Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US93/07904 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 26, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 26, 1995 PCT Filed Aug. 20, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/04163 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 3, 1994The present invention relates to neutral, aqueous soluble  beta -glucans which exert potent and specific immunological effects without stimulating the production of certain cytokines, to preparations containing the novel  beta -glucans, and to a novel manufacturing process therefor. The neutral, aqueous soluble  beta -glucan preparation has a high affinity for the  beta -glucans receptor of human monocytes and retains two primary biological (or immunological) activities, (1) the enhancement of microbicidal activity of phagocytic cells, and (2) monocyte, neutrophil and platelet hemopoietic activity. Unlike soluble glucans described in the prior art, the neutral, aqueous soluble  beta -glucans of this invention neither induces nor primes IL-1 beta  and TNF alpha  production in vitro and in vivo. Safe and efficacious preparations of neutral, aqueous soluble  beta -glucan of the present invention can be used in therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment regimens of humans and animals to enhance their immune response, without stimulating the production of certain biochemical mediators (e.g., IL-1 beta , TNF alpha ) that can cause detrimental side effects, such as fever and inflammation.

Abstract: Moteur a turbine à gaz présentant un ensemble ailettes de turbine comprenant une buse (86) de fluide de refroidissement coulée solidaire. On a développé divers détails de construction présentant une buse de fluide de refroidissement comportant un passage d'écoulement (108) doté d'une sortie (112) et d'une paroi (114). Dans un mode de réalisation, la paroi présente un bord avant en angle (118) s'adaptant à un bord arrière (122) adjacent circonférentiellement d'une paroi adjacente. Le bord avant est conique de manière que dans une position la plus ouverte de l'ensemble ailettes de turbine, le bord avant et le bord arrière s'alignent circonférentiellement. Dans une position la plus fermée de l'ensemble ailettes de turbine, le bord avant en angle s'aligne avec le bord arrière de manière à créer une réduction dans l'écoulement dirigé circonférentiellement de la cavité hermétique. La pluralité de parois produit ainsi un agencement de chute à l'intérieur de la cavité hermétique afin de réduire les pertes par la ventilation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of conferring resistance against fire blight to pomaceous fruit scion or rootstock cultivars by transforming such cultivars with a gene which encodes for lytic proteins. Such transformation can be effected by bacterial infection or propulsion of particles into cell interiors. Once transformation has taken place, the cultivar is regenerated to a transgenic pomaceous fruit tree. This technique is particularly useful in treating apple and pear cultivars.

Abstract: In a pin-board matrix switch X- and Y-direction patterns are arranged in the X and Y directions to constitute a matrix. Crosspoint holes are formed at the crosspoints between the X- and Y-direction patterns. Each crosspoint hole has contacts formed therein. The contacts are connected to the patterns. A connecting pin has contact springs. The connecting pin is selectively inserted into the crosspoint holes to electrically connecting the contacts of the X-direction patterns and the Y-direction patterns which are adjacent to each other in the Z direction. Insulating members are arranged between the X- and Y-direction patterns. At least one pair of the X-direction patterns and the Y-direction patterns is constituted by first and second wiring layers arranged in the Z direction via insulating members. The two wiring patterns include cut portions, formed at corresponding positions, for dividing each of the first and second wiring patterns into two divided wiring portions, and conductor portions for connecting one divided wiring portion of the first wiring layer to the divided wiring portion of the second wiring layer which faces the divided wiring portion of the first wiring layer along the wiring direction and the other divided wiring portion of the first wiring layer to the remaining divided wiring portion of the second wiring layer.

Abstract: Novel mirror materials and fabrication processes are used to produce extremely low cost reflective optical components. Reflective mirrors are made using injection molded filled plastic. Reinforcing filler materials are added to the plastic resin prior to molding. Subsequent to injection molding, the plastic mirrors are coated with aluminum or other infrared reflective coating by means of vacuum deposition, for example, to produce a reflective surface. Additives or external metallization provide for control of thermal conductivity. The mirrors produced in accordance with the present invention may be used for 8-12 or 3-5 micron infrared imaging. However, the present plastic mirrors, when appropriately coated, may also be used in other wavelength bands. By employing the principles of the present invention, low cost mirrors with improved thermal stability and optical quality are achieved. The principle advantage of the present invention is a dramatic reduction in cost possible over reflective elements manufactured using conventional precision optical fabrication methods. The present mirrors have improved optical properties, primarily mirror figure and thermal stability.

Abstract: A device has a pivoted lever (24) for detecting a near end state of a roll of paper, and the lever (24) is held at a first position by the weight of a roll of paper, but is resiliently biased toward a second position by a spring (32). When the roll of paper does not have a core, and when the weight thereof falls to a predetermined value, the lever is moved from the first position to the second position due to a resilient force of the spring (32). When the roll of paper has a core, and when a diameter thereof is reduced to a predetermined value, the lever (24) receives the roll of paper in a recess (34) formed therein, and is moved from the first position to the second position due to a resilient force of the spring (32). When the lever is moved to the second position, this is detected by a suitable detecting element (40). Thus, the detector can detect the near end state of the roll of paper without regard to whether the roll of paper has a core or not.

Abstract: The object detecting and tracking apparatus (1) detects a tracking target object from a moving image photographed by a television camera and tracks the same, wherein the movement of the object is detected reliably and with high accuracy to automatically track the target object. When tracking is started after putting the target object in a region designating frame "WAKU" displayed on a screen in such a way as to be variable in size and position, a video signal input from a photographic optical system 2 is Y/C-separated. After that, the target object is specified from a tracking region histogram, and movement vectors are obtained from a color-time-space image, color-time-space differential image, and/or luminance-time-space image thereof, thereby making it possible to more reliably detect even the movement of varied objects as compared with the conventional block matching.
