Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of strongly adherent coatings on an inorganic or organic substrate, in which process in a first step: a) the inorganic or organic substrate is subjected to the action of a low-temperature plasma discharge, a corona discharge, high-energy UV radiation or electron radiation, the radiation or discharge is then discontinued, in a further step: b) at least one electron- or H-donor, each containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group, is applied to the inorganic or organic substrate in vacuo or at normal pressure and reacted with the free radicals formed there, and c1) the substrate so precoated with coinitiator is coated with a composition comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer or oligomer and a photoinitiator, and the coating is cured by means of electromagnetic and/or ionizing radiation; or c2) the substrate so precoated with coinitiator is coated with a composition comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer or oligomer and one or more thermally activatable initiators, and the coating is cured thermally. The invention relates also the use of electron- or H-donors, for example amines, thioethers or thiols, having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group in the production of such layers and to the strongly adherent coatings themselves.

Abstract: An interface circuit replaces a selected IDE command received from a host computer with an invalid command and routes the invalid command to a data storage device. In this manner, the interface circuit provides convenient, cost-effective technique for preventing a selected IDE command sent by the host computer from reaching the data storage device. Moreover, by replacing the selected command with an invalid command, rather than merely blocking the selected command, the data storage device can respond with an error message rather than leaving the data storage device and the IDE bus in a non-deterministic state that might require user intervention. The interface circuit is particularly well-suited for preventing a host computer from writing to an IDE hard disk drive in a gaming machine.

Abstract: A device for the topical delivery of nitric oxide gas to an infected area of skin includes a source of nitric oxide gas (8), a bathing unit (6), a flow control valve (22), and a vacuum unit (10). The bathing unit (6) is adapted to surround the area of the infected skin and form a substantially air-tight seal with the skin surface. The bathing unit (6) is also in fluidic communication with the source of nitric oxide (8). The flow control valve is in position downstream of the source of nitric oxide (8) and upstream of the bathing unit (6). The flow control valve (22) controls the amount of nitric oxide gas that is delivered to the bathing unit(6). The vacuum unit (10) is positioned downstream of the bathing unit (6) and is used to withdraw gas from the bathing unit (6). Application of nitric oxide gas to the infected area of skin reduces pathogen levels in the infected area and promotes the healing process.

Abstract: Functional blocks (a numerical control unit 22, servo control unit 26, PLC
control unit 24, sizing control unit 23, sampling control unit 25, and display control unit
21) carry out their respective functions of control processing. Numerical control data,
PLC control data, and sizing data as details of numerical control processing, PLC control
processing, and sizing processing, respectively, are sampled and recorded by sampling
control processing. The three kinds of recorded data are displayed together on one
display unit 80 by display control processing when a display instruction is given by an
operator of a control system 10 through an input control unit 90. Thus, an operator of
the control system 10 can carry out the work of tracing the cause of the trouble of a
machine tool 70 and of examining efficient machining processes of the machine tool 70
by simultaneously watching the control data displayed on one display unit 80. This
provides a control system of the machine tool that can improve workability.

Abstract: A single step wet oxidation process for treating wastewaters containing organic
species, with or without heteroatoms, and anions of strong acids, e.g. sulfate or
phosphate ion, or cations of strong bases, e.g., sodium, potassium or calcium ions, and
which may contain ammonium ion and/or nitrate ion in addition to added ammonium ion
and/or nitrate ion was developed which on thermal treatment near the critical
temperature of water removes substantially all the COD and nitrogen through conversion
to water, carbon dioxide or carbonate species, nitrogen gas and small amounts of
nitrous oxide. Key to the success of the process is the balancing of all reducing species
with an equivalent amount of oxidizing species and the balancing of all strong acid
anions with strong base cations and including at least 0.06 acetate ion for moles of
nitrate in the wet oxidation process.

Abstract: A vehicle environment monitoring system for an automotive vehicle,
is capable of accurately detecting the movement of an object existing in an
external environment of the vehicle, and determining the probability of
collision between the object and the vehicle, thereby appropriately warning
the driver. A running speed of the vehicle is detected, and a distance
between the object and the vehicle is calculated, based on the image obtained
by the imaging device. A relative speed between the object and the vehicle
is calculated according to the calculated distance. It is determined whether
or not there is a significant probability that the vehicle may collide with the
object, based on the running speed of the vehicle and the distance
therebetween on condition that the relative speed is in the vicinity of the
running speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: A universal sensor interface system that utilizes a common hardware
and software interface to drive many types of sensors. A variety of
stimulation signals are generated that are transmitted to a plurality of
sensors. The stimulation signals cause the sensors to generate response
signals in the form of parametric measurements, which are then converted
into a common format. The sensor response signals are processed and
output as usable inputs to a data consuming apparatus. A method of
automatically determining the sensor configuration in an aircraft sensor
system is also provided. During operation the host computer system or
digital signal processor is programmed to analyze sensor response signals to
detect sensor faults, help predict sensor failures, and determine if there has
been a sensor error. The universal sensor interface system is also capable
of notifying a system operator of wiring problems with a particular sensor or if
a particular sensor is malfunctioning.

Abstract: In an image-forming apparatus
using a cleaning means having a cleaning blade, the
cleaning blade is composed of an edge portion (150) which is
brought into contact with the image-bearing member and
a support portion (130) which brings the edge portion into
contact with the image-bearing member, where the value
at a peak temperature (t1) of a loss tangent of the
edge portion, tanδ1, is smaller than the value at a
peak temperature (t2) of a loss tangent of the support
portion, tanδ2, and a curve which represents the
temperature dependence of the loss tangent of the edge
portion and a curve which represents the temperature
dependence of the loss tangent of the support portion
intersect at t1°C or above to t1+40°C or below. This
can maintain the surface of a photosensitive
member in a state that does not cause any smeared images or melt
adhesion of toner even when non-magnetic toners are
used, promising a great improvement in reliability, and
also can deal with any situations even when the
productivity has dramatically been advanced.
