Abstract: The screen which is wound up from bottom to top controls air refreshment. The flexible screen (1) and its winding tube are held against the greenhouse wall by flexible straps (6) fixed to the top and bottom parts of the wall exterior. They pass above the winding tube so as to apply a constant force regardless of position. A continuous locking system is formed by one or more profiled elements mounted end to end and fixed on the greenhouse frame. This locking system is arranged to allow the winding tube to bypass the opening and closing of the screen. It is locked underneath when unwinding is completed and rotation is maintained in the same direction causing rewinding.

Title: Manipulations de stress nitrosant et oxydatif dans le traitement d'une maladie
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61K31/195
Filed: 1997-08-13
Abstract: Cette invention concerne le traitement de mammifères souffrant d'infections ou d'états qui sont associés à une croissance cellulaire à prolifération pathologique chez les mammifères comme, par exemple, certains cancers, la resténose ou l'hypertrophie prostatique bénigne. Ce traitement consiste à administrer un manipulateur de stress nitrosant qui va tuer les microbes ou helminthes entraînant des infections, les cellules hôtes infectées par ces microbes ou les cellules de mammifères proliférant de manière pathologiques ou, encore, qui va limiter la croissance de ces derniers. Ces nouveaux agents comprennent des sulfoximines de α-alkyl-S-alkyl-homocystéine dans lesquels l'élément α-alkyl comprend de 2 à 8 atomes de carbone, tandis que l'élément S-alkyl- comprend de 1 à 10 atomes de carbone. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, cette invention permet de traiter des mammifères qui manquent de défenses accrues contre le stress nitrosant, y compris des personnes qui présentent des risques d'attaques dus à une attaque ischémique transitoire survenue auparavant. Les traitements permettant d'accroître les défenses contre le stress nitrosant peuvent consister, par exemple, à administrer de manière répétitive de faibles doses de manipulateurs de stress nitrosant, ceci de manière à ce que le sujet traité acquière une plus grande tolérance à l'égard dudit stress. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, des mammifères peuvent être traités contre des infections protozoaires en administrant de manière systémique une L-buthionine-S-sulfoximine ainsi qu'un agent augmentant le stress nitrosant.

Abstract: To provide a liquid crystal display method in which various types of display patterns can be
displayed with a predetermined driving voltage margin being maintained and power consumption
does not increase, a driving method is disclosed for a liquid crystal display device using liquid
crystal having two metastable states. A scanning signal (COM(i)) has a reset period (T1), a delay
period (T2), a selection period (T3) and a non-selection period (T4) in one frame period (T). The
selection period (T3) is set to one horizontal scanning period (1H). The scanning signal (COM(i))
is set to reset potentials (±VR) reversed at an interval of a frame period in the reset period (T1),
set to selection potentials (±Vw) reversed at an interval of 1H/2 in the selection period (T3), and
set to non-selection potentials (0 V) in the delay period (T2) and the non-selection period. The
data potential of a data signal (SEG(j)) has potentials (±Vd) reversed at an interval of 1H/2. When
the voltage difference between the scanning signal (COM(i)) and the data signal (SEG(j)) is
applied to the liquid crystal, a voltage having one polarity is always not applied to the liquid
crystal for a period exceeding a 1H period in the delay period (T2). Therefore, various display
patterns can be displayed with a predetermined driving voltage margin being maintained. Since a
voltage applied to the liquid crystal in the reset period (T1) is reversed in the positive and
negative sides at an interval of a period longer than 1H, power consumption does not increase.

Abstract: A stack of sheets or blanks are supported for individual
high speed feeding from the bottom of the stack on a table
positioned adjacent to a feed cylinder. An air blast from a
pivotal nozzle deflects the leading edge of the bottom blank
downwardly into engagement by suction force with the surface of
the feed cylinder. Rotation of the feed cylinder separates the
bottom blank from the stack. A plurality of rocker arms (46) are then
oscillated forwardly into the gap between the stack and the
separated bottom blank. The rocker arms (46) are independently,
rotatably supported transverse to the leading edge of the stack.
The position of the rocker arms is adjustable to support the
stack as determined by the die cut configuration of the blanks.
A fast cam (75) actuates oscillation of centrally positioned rocker
arms beneath the central portion of the stack leading edge with
an accompanying blast of air between the bottom blank and the
stack. Slow cams oscillate the laterally positioned rocker arms
beneath the lateral portions of the stack leading edge with an
accompanying blast of air between the bottom blank and the stack.
The lateral rocker arms move after the centrally positioned
rocker arms to ensure that the lateral edge portions of the stack
remain stationary and do not sag into the path of the separated
bottom blank and jam the feed operation. The independently
supported rocker arms are laterally adjustable across the stack
leading edge for efficient conversion of the feed operation from
one style of blank to another.
