Abstract: Centrifuged anticoagulated blood samples are analyzed under magnification in a centrifuge tube containing a layer-elongating insert, which tube is placed on a calibrated slide. The slide includes a slot in which the tube is placed. A calibrated scale is disposed adjacent to the slot for use in measuring various blood sample parameters, such as hematocrit, platelet count, and the like. Anemia and/or low platelet counts are indicative of potentially serious complications of malaria. Their detection will prompt a physician to consider the liklihood of serious illness due to malaria. The presence or absence of blood-borne parasites can also be determined using the procedures of this invention. Thus the device allows a blood sample to be analyzed for malaria parasites, and also allows measurement of hematicrit and platelet counts. The scale can be presented in a normal image when a simple lens magnification, such as a magnifying glass, is used to view the tube and slide; and can also be presented in mirror image when compound lens magnification, such as a microscope, is used to view the tube and slide. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention appropriately determines the on/off state of dots having different hues in a printer using at least two inks of different hues, thereby enhancing the quality of printing. The system of the present invention applies the systematic dither method to determine whether or not dots are to be formed by ink of a predetermined hue, for example, magenta. In the case of formation of dots by magenta ink, the system drives a piezoelectric element PE disposed on a head corresponding to the magenta ink to form magenta dots and calculates a resulting value MRST. In the case of non-formation of dots by the magenta ink, on the other hand, the resulting value MRST is set equal to zero. The system then applies the technique of error diffusion to determine whether or not dots are to be formed by cyan ink, based on the tone data of the cyan ink. The structure of the present invention enables a difference between density data M(x,y) of the magenta ink and its resulting value MRST to affect density data of the cyan ink. This makes it difficult to form dots of cyan ink in the vicinity of dots of magenta ink. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for providing computerized, knowledge-based medical diagnostic and treatment advice. The medical advice is provided to the general public over networks, such as a telephone network or a computer network. The invention also includes a stand-alone embodiment that may utilize occasional connectivity to a central computer by use of a network, such as the Internet. Two new authoring languages, interactive voice response and speech recognition are used to enable expert and general practitioner knowledge to be encoded for access by the public. "Meta" functions for time-density analysis of a number of factors regarding the number of medical complaints per unit of time are an integral part of the system. A re-enter feature monitors the user's changing condition over time. A sympton severity analysis helps to respond to the changing conditions. System sensitivity factors may be changed at a global level or other levels to adjust the system advice as necessary.

Abstract: In a process for machining sheet metal parts (14) in a bending cell (10) of a bending centre, the sheet metal parts are successively transported from an insertion area to the bending cell. They are taken up by a first manipulator (32) of a manipulator device in a transfer position (130) and then set on a bending edge (16) to be subjected to at least one bending process. In order to optimise this process, each ready bent sheet metal part is carried away after the last bending process from an end bending position (132). While one sheet metal part is bent, the next sheet metal part is transported from the insertion area to a transfer position which does not overlap with the end bending position, and is positioned to be gripped by the first manipulator. The first manipulator starts to transfer the following sheet metal part to the transfer position while the ready bent sheet metal part is leaving the end bending position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving the consistency and quality of a frozen carbonated beverage product. The invention utilizes a method of monitoring the level of liquid in the mixing chamber of a frozen carbonated beverage machine to accomplish this result. The method involves measuring the pressure spikes that occur in the mixing chamber. The magnitude of a pressure spike is indicative of the amount of liquid in the mixing chamber. If a pressure spike is too high or too low, that is indicative that there is too much or too little liquid in the mixing chamber. By regulating the amount of liquid in the chamber, the consistency and quality of the beverage product can be maintained. The present invention uses a microprocessor to determine when the spikes are outside of an acceptable predetermined range. If the pressure spikes are outside of the acceptable range, the microprocessor readjusts set point pressure values, which are used to determine when to turn on and off the supply of ingredients into the chamber, thereby regulating the gas to liquid ratio, and thus the amount of liquid in the chamber. This in turn allows for accurate control over the consistency and quality of the beverage product.

Abstract: An ink cartridge loading mechanism for a printer is disclosed for lessening the space required to place or replace an ink cartridge in an ink jet printer. To place an ink cartridge 20 in an ink cartridge loading mechanism 10 of a printer, first the ink cartridge 20 is pushed into a receptacle section 50 vertically from the top. Next, an operation lever 65 of a slide mechanism 60 is turned to slide the receptacle section 50 into contact with an ink supply needle 31 horizontally. As a result, a loading state in which the ink supply needle 31 is completely inserted into an ink supply port of the ink cartridge 20 is formed. A large amount of space in the direction of loading of the ink cartridge is not needed. Therefore, there are fewer restrictions on the location of the printer and the amount of space needed for the printer is reduced. <IMAGE>
