Title: Information detection apparatus and information detection method for recording media
Inventor: MOMOSE TSUTOMU
IPC: B41J11/48
Filed: 1997-05-21
Abstract: Disclosed is a device for processing media to check the validity of checks and other negotiable instruments and print as necessary on said media. The device comprises in sequence along a transport path (9) from an insertion opening (6) a transportation mechanism (3), a printing mechanism (4) and a reading mechanism (5). When the medium (8) is transported by the transportation mechanism (3) along the transport path (9) to a predetermined position, the check is positioned between a presser roller (51) and a sensor (52) of the reading mechanism (5). The presser roller (51) then presses the check (8) against the sensor (52) while the transportation mechanism (3) pulls the check and information recorded on the check is read. This operation straightens wrinkles and removes slack from check (8) to reduce reading errors. Based on the read information, a printing process is then executed by the printing mechanism (4) and the check is ejected from the insertion opening (6). Task efficiency is therefore good, and the occupied space can be minimized. <IMAGE>

Title: Microreplicated optical module
Inventor: BYLANDER JAMES R
IPC: G02B6/122
Filed: 1995-11-28
Abstract: An optical module for interconnecting two or more optical fibers has a microreplicated waveguide element which is integrally formed on the same substrate with a splice element. In one embodiment, the module has three plates, a bottom plate, a cover plate, and a top plate, all contained within a common housing. The bottom plate has fiber-receiving grooves and fiber alignment grooves at its ends, the fiber alignment grooves being aligned with waveguide channels formed on the central portion of the bottom plate. The cover plate is used when forming the cores of the waveguide channels, to force the residual curable, waveguide material into flow channels adjacent the waveguide channels, and this material, when cured, adheres the bottom and cover plates together. The top plate is used to clamp fibers which are held in the fiber alignment grooves, with the center of the fibers aligned with the core of the waveguide channels. The module housing includes wedges which may be independently actuated to secure the fibers, in a remateable fashion, to either end of the module.

Title: Process for mechanical control of a rotating machine, system of control for operating the said process, rotating machine equipped with such a system
Inventor: THOMAS JEAN-LUC
IPC: H02P27/04
Filed: 1997-06-05
Abstract: The procedure provides control of the rotating electrical machine (1) with n phases supplied with alternating current via a voltage oscillator (3) comprising n SPmLL (Single Pole m Logic Level) devices (4). These define m<n> states (Vi) of the stator phase voltage vector (Vs). The machine has an electromagnetic couple (Tem) and a stator flux (ph-s) controlled by reference values of electromagnetic couple (Temref) and stator flux (ph-sref). For a transitory regime, in which the electromagnetic couple and/or the stator flux are far away from the reference values, a choice is made from the possible values (Vi), of the stator phase voltage (Vs) in order to identify the optimal value to bring these values back towards the reference values. The switching of the SPmLL devices (4) is controlled in a manner corresponding to the state chosen for the stator phase voltage vector.

Title: Needle loom with a sliding shank
Inventor: JOURDE BERNARD
IPC: D04H18/02
Filed: 1995-12-07
Abstract: A needle loom including a support (1) and a stripper (2) defining a path for a fibre lap (3). A needle board (7) supported by sliding shanks (11) moves back and forth between a maximum penetration position (7a) and a retracted position (7b), by means of a connecting rod/crank assembly including a connecting rod (19) hingedly connected to the sliding shank (11). The shank is guided by slide bearings (13, 14) secured to a mounting (41) which is angularly adjustable about the shank axis (12) so that the axis of ovality can be moved periodically relative to the main direction in which lateral stress is exerted on the bearings as a result of the angular displacement of the connecting rod (19). The service life of the bearings may thus be extended, while reducing maintenance requirements.

Abstract: A soap case having a receiving portion for receiving a bar of soap, the soap case characterized in that the receiving portion has a width wider than the thickness of the bar of soap and narrower than the width of the bar of soap such that the bar of soap can be received in a standing position as a pair of relatively wider surfaces of the bar of soap face both side surfaces of the receiving porion, and a depth sufficient for the bar of soap to stably stand upright, and comprises side surfaces each being curved of which the effective contact portions actually contacting the bar of soap being received become narrower towards the bottom of the case, a front surface for supporting the received bar of soap to stably stand upright, a rim surface of a curved shape forming the upper portion of the side surfaces and the front surface, and a bottom surface of a curved shape sloped at a predetermined angle downwards with respect to the receiving direction of a bar of soap, and the both side surfaces, the front surface, the rim surface and the bottom surface are curved, so that the bar of soap preferably makes point-contact with the side surfaces, the front surface, the rim surface and the bottom surface.      Thus, the water left on the surfaces of the bar of soap rapidly flows down so that the bar of soap is dries quickly, and the bar of soap does not soften and dries quickly due to the smooth ventilation of air around the bar of soap.

Title: Erythrocytes loaded with s-nitrosothiol and uses therefor
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61K35/18
Filed: 1996-09-13
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) interacts with hemoglobin (Hb) at its metal centers, whereas S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) can donate the NO group to .beta.93 cysteine residues, thereby shielding the NO functionality from heme inactivation. S-nitrosylation of Hb is under the allosteric control of oxygen and the oxidation state of heme. NO group release from SNO-Hb is further facilitated by intracellular low molecular weight thiols, forming RSNOs which can be exported from the erythrocyte to regulate blood pressure. Red blood cells can be loaded with low molecular weight RSNOs to act as a delivery system for NO+ groups. Loaded red blood cells can be used in methods of therapy for conditions which are characterized by abnormal O2 metabolism of tissues, oxygen-related toxicity, abnormal vascular tone, abnormal red blood cell adhesion, or abnormal O2 delivery by red blood cells.
