Abstract: A collation strip (110) for use within a nail gun is fabricated from a suitable polypropylene composition and has a relatively large thickness dimension, however, in order to impart enhanced flexibility to the thickened collation strip, the collation strip is provided with a plurality of auxiliary apertures (140) within its spine section (112) or alternatively within its spine and hinged sections. Such enhanced flexibility permits the collation strip to be utilized under relatively low temperature conditions such that the collation strip will not experience jamming within the nail gun. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ion exchange scrubber has a housing, and a partition plate installed within the housing. The partition plate partitions an inner space of the housing in longitudinal direction into two chambers that are filled with a predetermined amount of aqueous solution. The upper end portions of the two partitioned chambers communicate with each other. At least one cartridge is installed at the upper portion and has an ion exchange resin. At least one gas inlet hole is formed in an external plate of the chamber at position below the position where the cartridge is installed. At least one gas inlet tube is connected with the gas inlet hole. A gas exhaust hole is formed in an upper plate of the housing. At least one introduction/exhaustion hole is formed at a lower portion of the chamber, for supplying or exhausting the aqueous solution. At least one connection tube connects the introduction/exhaustion holes with each other. At least one level control valve is installed in the at least one connection tube. The ion exchange resin removes a harmful substance contained in the gas. By repeatedly pumping the aqueous solution from one side chamber to the other side chamber, and immersing and cleaning the contaminated ion exchange resin in the aqueous solution, the contaminated gas can be effectively processed even with a small amount of water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The process according to the present invention provides to perform, initially, on the surface of a stretchable film (F) to be reinforced, a plurality of microdamaging (ML) and to join thereafter the microdamaged film (F) with longitudinal reinforcing strips (S), pre-stretched and edged; said edgings are formed by folding inwardly the strip edges, causing thus a further stretching of the strips and a consequent increase of their mechanical resistance. Said strips (S), which are parallel to one another, cover definite zones of the surface of the film (F) and leave discovered the other zones, so that when the film is stretched beyond a certain elongation, only in zones non covered by the strips (S) tearings and slits are formed, which allows the transpiration of wrapped products. The above said slits form at the localized weakening zones and microdamagings (ML) provided in the film (F) itself.

Abstract: This invention concerns the use of cyclopamine, a naturally occurring steroidal alkaloid known for over thirty years, for the treatment of psoriasis and achievement of rapid clearance of the psoriatic skin lesions together with the reversion of the histopathological signs of disease to normalcy with no detectable side effects. The cyclopamine-induced clearance of psoriatic lesions from the skin of patients is associated with the causation of cellular differentiation in lesional epidermis and with the rapid disappearance of CD4(+) lymphocytes and other inflammatory cells from lesional skin. Therapeutic compositions comprising of cyclopamine and a corticosteroid and/or the pre-treatment of lesions with a corticosteroid provide significantly further increased therapeutic effectiveness over the use of cyclopamine alone or a corticosteroid alone.

Abstract: A Parallel Test Architecture (PTA) is provided that facilitates concurrent test, debug or programmable configuration of multiple electronic circuits (i.e., simultaneously). The PTA includes a communications path, a primary test controller, and a number of local test controllers. The primary controller provides stimulus, expected, and mask data to the local controllers over the communications path. The local controllers apply the stimulus data to the electronic circuits, receive resultant data generated by the circuits in response to the stimulus data, and locally verify the resultant data against the expected data substantially concurrently. When the communications path is implemented as an IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) test bus, the primary controller can provide the expected and mask data to the local controllers over the TDO and TRSTN lines while the TAP controllers of the electronic circuits are in the Shift-IR or Shift-DR state to enable concurrent testing over a traditional five wire multi-drop IEEE 1149.1 test bus.

Abstract: An active pixel sensor for use in ambient light conditions together with a controlled light source, the sensor producing a difference signal which is indicative of the intensity of light incident on the sensor from the controlled light source. The sensor operates in two phases and includes a photodetector coupled to processing circuitry coupled to storage circuitry. In the first phase, the photodetector generates an ambient light signal and the processing circuitry memorises the ambient light signal. In the second phase the photodetector generates a total light signal, the processing circuitry subtracts the stored memorised ambient light signal from the total light signal to produce the difference signal, and the storage circuitry stores the difference signal. The sensor alternates between the first and second phases in response to receiving a strobing signal, the strobing signal and the controlled light source being synchronised.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for qualifying substrate-processing production processes by means of a sensor plate. In this case, the term substrate refers to the carrier plates, for example, of printed circuit boards on which components are to be mounted. The term qualification refers to the determination of measuring values which provide information about the quality of the method and the components (14) used for the method. In order to enable the sensor plates (17, 18) to be used in the most versatile manner possible, said sensor plates are used to transfer media onto the substrate, to apply masks to the substrate or to position the substrate in the production device (11). The sensor plates can replace the substrate or be arranged near the surface of the substrate. According to the invention, the sensor plates used comprise a matrix of sensor elements which are sensitive in terms of capacity or temperature, and enable a high resolution on the sensor plates.

Abstract: A method for controlling the shifting of a transmission uses a control device for shifting gears in two different operating modes. In a first operating mode, the transmission is operated in an automatic mode and the shifting is automatically carried out, essentially based on detected driving parameters and with the aid of the control device. A respective automatic driving program and/or a respective top selectable gear can be selected in the automatic mode. In a second operating mode, the transmission is operated according to an automated manual shifting mode by using an actuating device. The respective automatic driving program and/or the respective top selectable gear can be selected by using the actuating device when the transmission is in the automatic mode. A device for controlling the shifting of a transmission is also provided.
