Abstract: The invention relates to novel aromatic compositions consisting of HLA molecules, which two different potential perfume carriers are assigned. The invention aims at developing novel aromatic compositions consisting of HLA molecules based on the selection of alleles of genes which are relevant from an olfactory viewpoint and subsequent processing thereof. According to the invention, the aromatic compositions are produced by selecting one allele amongst known class I HLA alleles, which differs in at least one characteristic from other alleles of HLA class I molecules and which is present in less than 5% of individuals of the world population; the protein that is coded for by the selected allele undergoes assembly in the presence of beta<SUB>2</SUB>-microglobulin (beta<SUB>2</SUB>m); the formed HLA class I molecules are purified with the bonded peptides and fragmented with the protease, and the odor-active substances resulting from fragmentation are added as individual components or as a mixture to a cosmetic preparation.

Abstract: The method involves taking an x-ray image without a patient with a calibration instrument, registering the image in a navigation system using localization structures on two carriers, removing one carrier from the calibration instrument, making an x-ray image of a patient, comparing the calibration information from the images of the structures on the remaining carrier for both x-ray images and correcting the calibration if there is poor agreement.  The method involves taking an x-ray image without a patient with a calibration instrument (C) in the beam path of an x-ray device and that can be positioned and tracked in a medical navigation system, registering the x-ray image in the navigation system using localization structures on two carriers (3,4), removing one carrier with its localization structures from the calibration instrument, making an x-ray image of a patient, comparing the calibration information from the images of the structures on the remaining carrier for both x-ray images and correcting the calibration if there is poor agreement. Independent claims are also included for the following: a calibration instrument for navigation calibration of x-ray image data, a program for implementing the inventive method and a program storage medium.

Abstract: A system for coupling, uncoupling and controlling the operating parameters of the header assembly (32) on an agricultural harvesting machine, such as a combine (10). A fixed coupler block on the feeder assembly (25) of the combine is coupled with a movable coupler block (84) on the header assembly (32) to join hydraulic and electrical conduits (37, 38) by rotating a coupler handle (135) to lock the blocks together. As the handle rotates, it also causes push-pull cables (142, 143) to actuate latch pins(42, 443) which mechanically couple the header assembly (32) to the feeder assembly (25). The system (50) senses whether a header assembly (32) is present or not and, if present, what type of header assembly (32) is present. In the latter case, the system then controls the header related operating parameters of the combine and header assembly.

Abstract: An ultrasonic catheter drug delivery device comprises an ultrasound transducer to produce ultrasonic waves, which transducer is mechanically attached to a catheter body or chamber. The ultrasonic transducer has a distal tip with a distal radiation surface, and when a therapeutic agent from a fluid source is directed to the catheter body or chamber, the radiation surface creates ultrasonic pressure and delivers liquid and simultaneously ultrasonic energy to a patient's vascularity or a selected body lumen. The method applies therapeutic agent and ultrasonic waves to the vascular area, lung or any body lumen without requiring direct contact between ultrasound transducer and body, dissolves blood clots, and stimulates tissue cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition which comprises a self-crosslinking polymer possessing pendant azetidinium groups. A first aspect of the invention comprises an azetidinium functionalized polymer containing primary or secondary amine groups. Cross-linking reactions between the azetidinium group and primary or secondary amine groups do not form quaternary groups and consequently do not result in a charged, cross-linked polymer. This lack of charge is believed to overcome the problems of stain fixing and dye adsorption. A second aspect of the present invention subsists in an azetidinium functionalized polymer of which the monomers comprise: an amino-acrylate and/or amino-alkacrylate monomer, and, optionally, further non-amino acrylate and/or alkacrylate monomer. A third aspect of the present invention provides a textile treatment composition which comprises an azetidinium functionalized polymer in accordance with the first or second aspect of the invention and a textile compatible carrier.

Abstract: There is provided a line pressure control apparatus that is comprised of a line pressure control section that controls line pressure according to its target value calculated based on input torque information, target gear ratio, and so forth; and a line pressure setting section that sets the upper limit of the line pressure according to an inputted range signal when the engine speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed. The line pressure control section suppresses an increase in line pressure by controlling the line pressure such that it does not exceed the set upper limit in the case where the upper limit of the line pressure has been set. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of cavitation noise in an oil pump, which generates basic pressure for line pressure, during high-speed engine revolution. <IMAGE>
