Abstract: A fiber optic pressure sensor suitable for use in measuring, for example, arterial blood pressure, is taught. A catheter tip is formed utilizing the phenomena of collision quenching or Foerster energy transfer quenching of fluorescence in order to measure the pressure exerted by the medium in which the sensors are placed. When utilizing a collision-quenching type of sensor, the change in concentration of a quencher is measured, the quencher being enclosed in the sensor tip, which is in hydrodynamic equilibrium with its ambient environment. Foerster-quenching type sensors measure the change in distance between the quencher and the fluorophore, which in turn are caused by pressure changes caused by the ambient environment in which the sensor is placed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling device without housing, film-mounted integrated components assembled as flat structures. The spiders of such components have hitherto been bent in a Z-like manner. This, however, requires a major effort, owing to the tolerances demanded. The invention intends to reduce this effort by the spider forming the external connections (5) having a flat shape. The pressure plates may consist either of an elastic foil (2) or of a leaf spring. In the first embodiment, moreover, liquid coolant is brought directly up to the component backs by there being situated at the component back a lamella (1) which is joined to the cooling plate (6) via an annular membrane (4). As a result of the cooling ducts (9) being drilled into the cooling plate (6), the coolant passes directly into the cavity thus produced between lamella (1) and cooling plate (6). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Between electrodes (9) and (10) are formed a p⁺ substrate (2), an n⁻ epitaxial layer (1) having a protruding portion (3), an n⁺ diffusion region (4) and p⁺ diffusion regions (13). Control electrodes (6) are formed on insulating films (5) on opposite sides of the protruding portion (3) and n⁺ diffusion region (4). The potential at the control electrodes (6) is increased or decreased with the potential at an electrode (10) increased relative to an electrode (9) to generate potential barrier or conductivity modulation in the n⁻ epitaxial layer (1), whereby a semiconductor device turns off or on. Introduced holes are drawn through the p⁺ diffusion regions (13) when the semiconductor device turns off, to provide a small resistance and a short distance when the holes are drawn without changes in the area of the n⁺ diffusion region (4). This permits the semiconductor device to have small switching loss and high switching speed with a low ON-voltage.

Abstract: A radar system includes a doppler/pulse compressor/range sidelobe suppressor filter bank (40), which separates received echo signals according to their frequency spectrum into doppler channels, and within each doppler channel performs pulse compression for reducing the duration of the received signals, and also performs range sidelobe suppression, for improving range resolution. It may be advantageous to perform certain types of processing in the time domain, such as determination of spectral moments for estimating velocity spread, mean closing velocity, and reflectivity of a diffuse target such as a weather phenomenon. An inverse (frequency-to-time) transform (50) is performed on the signals produced by the doppler/pulse compressor/range sidelobe suppressor filter bank (40), to produce a reconstructed version of the received signals. In these reconstructed signals, the pulses are compressed, and range sidelobes are reduced. The time-domain processing (62) is performed on the reconstructed signals. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the range sidelobe suppression and pulse compression filters (34a, 34b...) follow the doppler filters (32), but any ordering of the filters may be used. Interchannel frequency interference attributable to the non-zero bandwidth of the Doppler filters may be reduced by pulse-to-pulse time weighting (30) applied to the received signals over a time window corresponding to a particular dwell, together with inverse weighting (62) following the inverse transformation.

Abstract: A tape printing apparatus having a detection member which detects movement of a tape cutter to its tape cutting direction. A control system is provided for stopping tape feeding and tape printing operation when the detection member detects the movement of the tape cutter for preventing the print tape from being entangled with an internal mechanical component. Printing operation for one train of dots read from a print buffer is performed when a print key is operated and the count value of a tape feed counter is incremented by 1 dot. Such steps are repeatedly performed if no cutting operation is made by means of a cutting control button and If tape feed count value is not coincident with cut position data, and if a sequence of printing processes have not yet been completed. On the other hand, if the cutting control button is operated while a printing operation is being performed, the printing operation and tape feeding operation are stopped. If the cutting operation is completed, tape is automatically fed by a predetermined length.

Abstract: In the GSM half-rate encoding method, a complicated code book search method is used which is very intensive in terms of processing. In speech pauses it is known to switch off virtually completely not only the sender but also the speech encoder and still to carry out essentially only the LPC analysis of the speech signal. However, when the speech signal resumes, the filters of the speech encoder must first go through a transient process. For this reason, according to the invention, it is proposed not to switch off the filters even in speech pauses but to drive the filter, which is driven by excitation vectors from the code book, directly with the correspondingly processed speech signal. As a result, upon introducing the speech signal there occurs a more gentle, hardly noticeable transition between the comfort noise and the speech signal. During this switch-off time an artificial background noise, the so-called comfort noise, is generated in the receiver. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for administering biological agents to eggs is disclosed which comprises providing the agents in a particulate carrier and injecting the carrier into the air cells of the eggs. The egg is preferably maintained in a vertical position with the air cell on top to facilitate migration of the particulate carrier between the inner and outer membranes which define the air cell, to the lower end of the egg. The particulate carrier releases the biological agent to the surrounding fluid and blood vessels. In addition, the carrier is embodied in the bird upon hatching from the egg, and therefore is available to continue to release the biological agent to the bird posthatch. 
     Also disclosed is a composition of polyester microparticles containing bioactive polypeptide agents and methods for preparing the composition and administering bioactive agents. The composition comprises biocompatible, biodegradable microparticles having a polyester matrix and from about 5% to about 25% by weight of a biologically active, water-soluble polypeptide dispersed throughout the matrix, the polypeptide selected fom the group consisting of growth hormone releasing factor, synthetic analogs of growth hormone releasing factor, and pharmacologically active fragments thereof. The method for preparing the composition includes dissolving polyester in an organic solvent; suspending a biologically active agent in the polyester solution; emulsifying the suspension into an aqueous medium in which the agent is insoluble and evaporating the solvent from the emulsion to produce microparticles. The method for administering a bioactive agent to an organism involves suspending the microparticles in a suitable liquid and injecting the organism.

Abstract: An in-line gearshift mechanism (10) for use with a powershift transmission of an agricultural vehicle. The gearshift mechanism includes a shift lever assembly (12), a shifter plate (34) and a switch plate (36) each separated by a plurality of spacers and secured as an integral unit to a frame portion of an interior of the agricultural vehicle. The shifter plate (34) includes a plurality of in-line detent positions defining forward upshift, forward, forward downshift, neutral, reverse downshift, reverse and reverse upshift detent positions at which the shift lever may be positioned. The shift lever includes a gear encoder plate (92) on which a plurality of switch activating elements (94a,94b,94c) are positioned. As the shift lever is moved between the above-mentioned detent positions, the switch activating elements selectively actuate selected ones of a plurality of reed switches disposed on the switch plate. The reed switches generate signals indicative of the position of the shift lever, which may then be used to inform an external controller of the position of the shift lever and thus the desired operation (i.e., forward upshift, shift to neutral, etc.). In the preferred embodiment a neutral detection limit switch (38) is also included which is actuated when the shift lever assembly is placed in the neutral position. The preferred embodiment also includes a throttle lever (16) for adjusting the speed of an engine of the agricultural vehicle. A program further determines if forward downshifts or reverse downshifts are in fact desired by the operator as the shift lever assembly is moved through the forward downshift and reverse downshift positions.
