Abstract: A posturepedic buoyancy device (10) for supporting a person lying on said device in water or on land in a manner to minimize postural strain comprises an inflatable mattress (12) having attached thereto an inflatable lumbar elevation cushion (36) on the top surface of the mattress. The cushion elevates a person's lumbo-sacral region sufficiently to minimize hyper-extension in the lumbar region while lying prone on the mattress. To further facilitate prone positioning of the person in a comfortable correct posture, the head region of the mattress has an elongate recess (20) to receive and support a person's head when lying on top of the mattress. The recess (20) is defined by opposing spaced-apart inflated mattress sections (24, 26) extending generally parallel to one another in the length direction of the mattress. The spacing between the mattress sections (24, 26) is such to support a person's head by contacting the cheekbones while accommodating the mouth and nose area to permit free breathing while lying in the prone position.

Filed: 1988-01-28
Abstract: A vertical field effect transistor is provided which has its sources (11) arranged in a pattern to essentially eliminate inactive common drain area between the sources (11). The preferred arrangement is to use rectangular source areas (11) to form columns and rows in the arrangement. Every other row is shifted so that a source (11) in a shifted row is positioned between sources (11) in an adjacent row. The rows are then spaced closer together thereby achieving the substantial elimination of inactive drain area. The elimination of inactive drain area results in low on resistance during the conductive state of the vertical field effect transistor.

Abstract: Raw materials are fed into the charging end of a melting section which is heated by electrodes in the glass bath. The melted charge is then clarified under fossil fuel burners in a clarifying section, where the highest temperature of the furnace is maintained, and homogenized in a homogenizing section from which the clarified melt is drawn. Flue gas from the clarifying section sweeps the surface of the melting section countercurrently to the charge and is then used to heat combustion air. Burners in the clarifying section are operated under air starved conditions to reduce nitrogen oxides, while burners in the melting section are operated with excess air to achieve complete combustion.

Filed: 1988-05-11
Abstract: A scanning system for optoelectronically recorded signal patterns stored in a plural layer medium consisting of inorganic materials throughout and featuring a dielectric storage layer at the surface which faces an electron beam source. The source beam first searches for a position mark associated with an image frame on the medium in order to establish a precise home position of the beam and associated coordinate axes prior to commencing the scan operation on that medium frame. Then the beam scans a raster on the medium spending a certain dwell time at each resolution element of the raster. Each time a frame is reached, the system is capable of altering the beam current in response to a pre-recorded exposure code in order to achieve the optimal retrieval of all information stored image-wise within said frame. The system then collects electrons emitted from the medium due to the scanning beam in a collector, which incorporates a highly sensitive amplifier, for further processing, with the medium being movable frame by frame as desired. In another system version, the electronic image on the medium as read using a sensing needle array that scans close to the medium surface making   it possible to extract tunnelling electrons through the natural electron surface cloud as a result of an external electrical field applied between the needle and the medium. The "tunnelling current" is modulated by internal, image-­wise electrical field domains and the amplitude of the current is representative of the electronic image stored in the medium.

Abstract: A reagent useful in the determination of an immunoreactive species comprises water-insoluble particles having tracer molecules associated therewith. Bound to the outer surface of the particles are: (1) receptor molecules which are reactive with the species, and (ii) molecules of a protein having a pI less than about 6, and which protein is not reactive with either the species or the receptor molecules. The weight ratio of the receptor molecules to the low pI protein molecules is from about 100:1 to about 1:10. This reagent is useful in agglutination and other immunological reactions. A method of preparing the reagent includes providing a suspension of the particles and contacting them with the receptor molecules and low pI protein so as to attach both to the particles. The protein is present in the suspension in an amount such that substantially all of it is attached to the particles. The reagent thus prepared can be used, for example, in agglutination assays for the determination of a multivalent immunoreactive species, such as Streptococcus A antigen.

Abstract: A method, system and device utilized therein for the injection molding of plastic articles of enhanced surface quality using pressurized fluid. The fluid is prevented from contaminating the molten resin in the nozzle from which it was injected to thereby eliminate splay. The method involves the initial step of injecting molten resin at a nominal injection pressure from the nozzle of an injection molding machine through a resin injection aperture at an upstream position in a mold. The resin travels along a resin flow path in the mold to a mold cavity defining the shape of the molded article at a downstream position. The device at least partially defines the resin flow path in the mold. A charge of fluid pressurized at a predetermined level is communicated to the resin flow path through an orifice in the device which opens to the resin flow path. During or after resin injection the pressurized charge of fluid enters the flow path at the orifice and passes into the mold cavity to distribute the molten plastic within the mold cavity. The fluid is contained within the mold cavity under pressure until the article has set up, and is thereafter vented to the atmosphere. The device prevents the pressurized fluid from traveling back along the resin flow path and through the injection aperture. The device thereby prevents contamination of the molten resin in the nozzle.

Abstract: In a communication exchange connecting through in accordance with the time-division multiplex principle, the setting up of connections is to be controlled in such a manner that the central processor is relieved of control processes used for pathfinding and time slot allocation. The through-connection time (time slot) and the through-connection path are exclusively determined by the decentralised group processors. The time-slot and bus allocation information items are exchanged directly between the group processors involved. Since the central processor is now only used for determining the destination and only receives setting commands for connecting through connections in space-division switching stages, the relief achieved is of such a magnitude that no bottlenecks occur even in relatively large communication exchanges. <IMAGE>
