Title: Anti-tumor compositions containing the reaction product of a cytotoxic aldehyde with penicillamine and methods of use thereof
IPC: A61K31/425
Filed: 1986-07-03
Abstract: A composition for therapy of tumors having high tyrosinase activity contains the reaction product of penicillamine with a cytotoxic aldehyde, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. The preferred compounds are 5,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-thiazolidine carboxylic acid or 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-thiazolidine carboxylic acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof. Treatment preferably comprises an intra-arterial drip. Diagnosis of tumors suitable for treatment by means of these compositions may be accomplished by administering a radioactive copper salt and scanning for accumulations of radioactivity. This will indicate sites of high tyrosinase activity.
Patent ZA-915736-B (ZA)
Title: Insulating roll cover
Inventor: HART CHARLES M
IPC: B65G39/07
Filed: 1991-07-22
Abstract: The cover is free from asbestos and is therefore of more desirable construction for handling and use. For the roller cover, at least substantially ceramic fiber is highly compressed, providing a dense and refractory, elevated temperature resistant insulating cover. The cover may itself serve as a load bearing surface; or may provide a foundation or protective media for annular discs or sleeve members made of various, load bearing materials. These load bearing materials may be unable to resist direct contact with the shaft due to thermal shock or the differences in their respective expansion and contraction rates. Where impregnant is utilized with the highly compressed fiber, such will often comprise a colloidal substituent.

Title: Gaming machine.
Inventor: KOGA AKIRA
IPC: A63F5/04
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: Light-emitting means for emitting a light beam for sterilizing a gaming medium is disposed in a gaming machine itself at a position where the light beam irradiates a stored gaming medium or a passing gaming medium, the light-emitting means being shielded from eyes of a player. In particular, the gaming machine is a ball-shooting gaming machine or a coin or medal gaming machine. Specifically, the light-emitting means is disposed at a position where the light beam irradiates a gaming medium flowing into storage means within the gaming machine or a gaming medium stored in the storage means. Specifically, the light-emitting means is disposed at a position where the light beam irradiates a gaming medium stored in a tray located outside the gaming machine. Preferably, the light beam is an ultraviolet ray. As a consequence, the antibacterial specification of the gaming machine becomes more effective, and an antibacterial specification is newly realized in the case of the coin or medal gaming machine. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2362285-B (GB)
Title: Resolution enhancement of half-toned black data transmitted with colour data
Inventor: LUND MARK D
IPC: G06K15/02
Filed: 2001-03-08
Granted: 2004-03-31
Abstract: When black regions are adjacent to color regions, the adjacent black regions are encoded (rendered) at the resolution of the color regions (e.g., 300 dpi) even though the printer has the capability of printing black at a higher resolution (e.g., 600 dpi). To make full use of the 600 dpi resolution of the printer, the black pixels are separated from the color pixels. The 300 dpi resolution black pixel field is converted to a 600 dpi black image field. A window surrounding a selected group of (600 dpi) black/white target pixels is chosen. The pixels in the window are applied to a logic circuit having a plurality of logical conditions. As a result of the logic processing, values of each of the target pixels can be changed to a different pixel value to avoid jagged edges in the printed images, thereby providing a pseudo-600 dpi resolution for the target pixels. The logical operations are performed until all of the pixels have values determined by the logic circuit. The resulting processed pixel field provides a more satisfactory printed image. The window is selected so that the pixel fields can be represented by word-length data groups. Black pixels rendered at the higher resolution are generally unaffected by the logic circuit. Thus, black pixels are rendered at two resolutions but printed at the same resolution.

Abstract: The matrix (1,2) of resistive coupling elements (R) links individual elements (E1 to En) of an antenna to the different phase terminals (3 to 6 and 8 to 11) of a phase combiner (7,12). Because of unwanted coupling between the conductive members forming the matrix it has in some circumstances been found impossible to select values of the coupling elements to give a required beam pattern. 
<??>The problem is solved by including phase shifters (21) in alternate lines to the antenna elements. A separate matrix and phase combiner is provided for each beam to be formed.

Title: Treatment of gases
Inventor: WATSON RICHARD WILLIAM
IPC: C01B17/04
Filed: 1986-04-09
Granted: 1989-01-11
Abstract: In a process for recovering sulphur from a typically relatively concentrated gaseous stream of hydrogen sulphide, the stream is reacted with pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air in a furnace 2 to form a gas mixture including hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide. The hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide then react to form sulphur vapour and water vapour. The temperature of the gases in the furnace 2 is controlled by introducing into the gases a quenchant. The quenchant is preferably liquid water although other liquid quenchants may be employed. Alternatively a vaporous quenchant stream comprising at least 80% by volume of steam is employed. The process enables relatively high rates of formation of sulphur vapour to be achieved for a given furnace volume.

Title: Waveguide coupling arrangement
Inventor: HOWARD KEVIN RICHARD
IPC: H01P1/161
Filed: 1989-06-16
Granted: 1991-10-30
Abstract: A capacitively coupled printed patch (3) as a high efficiency device to couple orthogonally polarised energy between a stripline (5) and a waveguide (1). Coupling between the stripline (5) and the patch (3) is achieved by the stripline terminating in a narrow strip probe (4), the end of which lies close to, but not in contact with, an edge of the patch (3). Two separate probes (4) arranged mutually orthogonally are used to effect independent polarised couplings to produce independent linear orthogonal signals or independent left- and right-handed circularly polarised signals. The striplines (5) and patch (3) are supported on a common substrate (8) which extends transversely through the waveguide (1). The waveguide wall has a quarter-wavelength thickness (T) so that its inner edge (10) appears continuous to energy passing through the substrate (8). One application is in a DBS satellite TV receiving system where it is required to isolate two signals sharing a common channel but having orthogonal polarisations.
