Abstract: The present invention discloses a network system for an interactive transmission in first and second directions. The network system includes a plurality of node devices, and a first node device of the node devices can selectively output a signal in the first direction or perform the returning output of a signal. A second node device adjacent to the first node device outputs a signal to the first node device through a channel which is used by the first node device for the returning output, hence the first and second node device are controlled such that those first and second node devices do not use the returning channel of the first node device concurrently.

Abstract: An ink jet printer for efficiently eliminating temporary ink ejection defects following print interruptions, and a control method for said ink jet printer, are disclosed. The idle time, i.e., the time lapsed between the previous current apply time and the present current apply time, is evaluated before printing. If the idle time is less than a first reference time (t1), an purging is accomplished with 0 or a first number of shots. If the time interval is between first and second reference times (       t1 = < IT < t2         ), purging is executed with a second number of shots. If the time interval is greater than or equal to the second reference time (       t2 = < IT         ), purging is executed with a third number of shots that is less than the specified second number of shots.

Abstract: A guidewire retention device for use with a catheter or other medical device is disclosed herein. The guidewire retention device can be connected to a standard adapter at the proximal end of the catheter. It has an opening therein which can be placed in communication with the catheter lumen. This opening includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion and is preferably keyhole shaped. The large diameter portion allows a guidewire to easily pass therethrough while the small diameter portion does not. Thus, when a guidewire is located in the catheter lumen in the proper position, the guidewire can be fitted into the small diameter portion of the keyhole shaped opening to lock the guidewire with respect to the catheter. A raised icon on the guidewire retention device provides an indication to the clinician of how to use the guidewire retention device.

Abstract: An imprinting mechanism has a frame delineating a printing station. A printing carriage including a printer is reciprocatably carried by the frame. A drive is interposed between the carriage and the station for causing selective relative movement between the carriage and the station in printing and return directions. Spaced web supply and take-up mechanisms delineate the ends of a printing web path of travel from the supply past the station and the carriage to the take-up. A web brake is provided which has an on position preventing relative web and carriage movement when the carriage and station are relatively moved in the return direction and an off position permitting relative tape and carriage movement when the carriage and station are relatively moved in the printing direction and the printer is printing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method useful in image recognition by employing the restoration of degraded images to produce an approximation of the original ideal artwork for the image. That is, pursuant to the invention, a set of images is read from an image source and an attempt is made to recover, or closely approximate, the ideal artwork (e.g., original symbol) from which the images were derived. The approximation of the original symbol then serves to train an image classifier thereby increasing the effectiveness of the classifier. For example, the classifier can use the original symbol approximations as input to a degradation model to produce a set of degraded images useful in document classification. Thus, the effectiveness of the classifier is enhanced through the reduction in the classification error rate.

Abstract: A contour of an object in an image having one or more
objects therein is reconstructed based on encoded contour data
for the contour and a previously reconstructed contour for an
object included in the image. The method, first, decodes the
encoded contour data for a current contour to thereby provide
a reconstructed current contour and checks whether the
reconstructed current contour overlaps with any previously
reconstructed contours. If none of the previously
reconstructed contours overlaps with the reconstructed current
contour, the method sets the reconstructed current contour as
a currently reconstructed contour. If, otherwise, the
reconstructed current contour overlaps with a previously
reconstructed contour, the reconstructed current contour is
modified not to overlap with the previously reconstructed
contour and the method sets the modified contour as the
currently reconstructed contour.

Abstract: A method for presenting information on display devices of varying
sizes. The method processes a query of a database and determines which
tables are most likely to contain information which the user wishes to
primarily view. The join relationships between tables of the database are
used to determine the priority for displaying tables. Those join relationships
which were used more frequently in previous queries are accorded higher
weight scores and correspondingly have a greater chance of being prioritized
to be displayed on the computer screen. Also, a user may select a particular
table to be focused upon. In that situation, the method displays not only the
focused table but also the tables with a direct relationship to it.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des nouveaux procédés pour détecter des gènes associés au cancer et produire des séquences d'ADNc correspondantes. Lesdits procédés consistent à produire des préparations d'ARN à partir de cellules de régulation et de plusieurs cellules cancéreuses différentes partageant un gène dupliqué ou modifié dans la même région d'un chromosome. Des copies d'ADNc amplifié sont visualisées puis sélectionnées en fonction des différences d'abondance d'ARN entre les préparations. Les étapes de criblages supplémentaires optionnelles consistent à rechercher dans des séries de cellules cancéreuses au moyen de l'ADNc la surabondance d'ARN avec ou sans duplication génique. Les gènes identifiés peuvent être utilisés à leur tour pour mettre au point des matériaux et des techniques de traitement et de diagnostic du cancer sous-jacent. On a identifié quatre nouveaux gènes associés au cancer. Dans environ 60 % des lignées de cellules du cancer du sein testées, l'ARN s'hybridant avec les ADN était sensiblement plus abondant que dans des cellules normales. La plupart des lignées cellulaires présentaient également une duplication du gène correspondant, ce qui semble avoir contribué au fait que le niveau d'ARN dans la cellule est accru. Néanmoins, pour chacun des quatre gènes, certaines cellules présentaient une surabondance sans duplication génique, ce qui semble indiquer que le produit génique est suffisamment important dans le processus cancéreux pour que les cellules utilisent plusieurs mécanismes différents pour amplifier leur expression.

Abstract: Prior to welding the rubber seal(3) and holding part, preferably a T-groove, are cut back from the eventual position of the mitred end of the profile(2) to prevent either from being plasticised during the profile welding operation. Seal shortening is effected by punching or cutting at least part of the way through the seal at a specific position to give a smooth cut surface and then the hollow profile is sawn off to length. The seal cutting point may correspond to the cut-off point of the hollow profile or is set back by a distance(A) from the end of the mitred profile the distance being calculated by a formula: A = Bsin alpha  where B is the additional space required for the welding and alpha  is the cutting angle. Both rubber seal(3) and the holding part can be shortened by punching or millling before or after cutting the profile to length, either on a common or separate machines.
