respective flow passageway therein when the coupling is uncoupled, and which
valves can be unseated to permit flow of fluid through the coupling when the
coupling is coupled and locked;
   the poppet valve of the receptacle having resilient annular sealing means (220) in
its poppet sealing surface;   the coupler body and poppet and the receptacle body and poppet being
provided with resilient annular sealing means at their interfaces, the coupler
poppet being self-aligning, the arrangement of the sealing means and the
geometry of the coupler body and poppet and the receptacle body and poppet

Abstract: A plasma filter for separating positive ions from negative ions in a multi-species
plasma includes a cylindrical shaped chamber. Magnetic coils
surrounding the chamber generate a magnetic field that is aligned
substantially parallel to the chamber's longitudinal axis. An electrode
generates an electric field that is substantially perpendicular to the magnetic
field to create crossed magnetic and electric fields inside the chamber. The
inward directed electric field has a negative potential on the longitudinal axis
and a substantially zero potential at the wall of the chamber. An injector
injects the multi-species plasma into said chamber to interact with said
crossed magnetic and electric fields. With the chamber wall at a distance "a"
from the longitudinal axis, a magnitude "B z " for the magnetic field, a negative
potential for the electric field of "V ctr " along the axis and a substantially zero
potential at the wall, a cut-off mass to charge ratio is calculated M c /e =
a 2 (B z ) 2 /8V ctr , such that negative ions having a mass M 1   (-) /e greater than M c /e
will be ejected from the chamber for collection off the chamber wall, while all
positive ions will be confined in the chamber for transit through the chamber
for collection outside the chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for wireless communication using half speech blocks which
results in half the number of coded bits as a full speech block after coding. The half
speech block can be created with a lower speech rate mode of an adaptive multi-rate
vocoder. The reliability of the first speech frame is somewhat lower; however, this is not
expected to significantly impact voice quality. Further, reliability can be compensated
for by increasing power some on the less reliable blocks.

Abstract: An interleaf sheet is formed by adding a sizing agent into a
slurry of bleached kraft pulp or by applying a sizing agent onto a
surface of the interleaf sheet which surface contacts a planographic
printing plate. The sizing agent is used for the interleaf sheet so as to

printing plate and to suppress changes in the release properties with
the passage of time. 
A method of packaging planographic printing plates is described
comprising the steps of:
   covering a plurality of planographic printing plates with a
protective interleaf sheet for planographic printing plates which is
adapted to cover and thereby protect an image forming surface of one of
a photosensitive planographic printing plate and a thermosensitive
planographic printing plate, release properties of said protective
interleaf sheet for planographic printing plates with respect to the
planographic printing plate being adjusted by adding a sizing agent into
or applying it onto the protective interleaf sheet; and   packaging, in a packaging material, a stacked sheaf formed by
stacking in a thickness direction the plurality of planographic printing

Abstract: A tunneling magnetoresistive device comprises an
insulating barrier layer, and at least two ferromagnetic layers
provided on the same plane of the layer. The insulating barrier
layer can be initially formed, so that when a metal layer is
oxidized to form the insulating barrier layer, it is unnecessary
to pay care to the influence of oxidation on the ferromagnetic
layers. The insulating barrier layer can be formed in large
thickness, thereby suppressing defects, such as pinholes, from
occurring. Thus, a tunneling magnetoresistive device having
good characteristics can be manufactured.
