Abstract: An apparatus for applying strip fastener elements or zippers to web material includes an unwind stand (24) holding a roll of film material (26), an infeed dancer arrangement of rollers (36), a zipper apparatus (200) which conditions zipper material, cuts zippers and delivers zippers to a zipper feed apparatus. The zipper feed apparatus (200) loads zippers into a sealing platen (326) of a rotating turret (308). The rotating turret carries the zippers successively to a position adjacent a surface of the film and a seal bar (352) presses the film to successive zippers to seal the zippers thereto while a new zipper is being received in a sealing platen of the turret at a loading station at a rotational position at a distance from the sealing station. The film with zippers attached is drawn downstream of the turret to a rewind dancer roll assembly (501) and thereafter to a rewind stand (600) for winding into a roll of zippered film (602).

Abstract: A method of inducing a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response to an antigen is disclosed. The method involves delivering the antigen to the lymphatic system of an animal regularly over a sustained period of time using, e.g., an osmotic pump. The method is advantageous over prior art methods for inducing a CTL response in that it does not require repetitive immunizations or the use of adjuvants. The method of the present invention can be used for the induction of CTLs in tumor or infectious disease immunotherapy.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for manipulating the contents of eggs. An opening is made in the egg shell, without breaking the underlying egg shell membrane, and an aqueous liquid is deposited over the opening such that the opening is completely covered. The underlying egg shell membrane is then cut away. The introduction of air bubbles into the interior of the egg upon cutting of the underlying egg shell membrane is prevented by the drawing of the aqueous liquid into the opening. A desired solution may be microinjected through the opening and the opening sealed.

Abstract: A high purity cobalt sputter target is disclosed which contains a face centered cubic (fcc) phase and a hexagonal close packed (hcp) phase, wherein the value of the ratio of X-ray diffraction peak intensity, Ifcc(200)/Ihcp(10 1), is smaller than the value of the same ratio in a high purity cobalt material obtained by cooling fcc cobalt to room temperature from the high temperature at which it is molten. High purity cobalt is defined as having an oxygen content of not more than 500 ppm, a Ni content of not more than 200 ppm, contents of Fe, Al and Cr of not more than 50 ppm each, and Na and K of less than 0.5 ppm. The disclosed sputter target is manufactured by subjecting the material to cold-working treatments (less than 4221C). Annealing the material, at a temperature in the range 300-4221C for several hours, between cold working treatments significantly increases the amount of cold work which could be imparted into the material. The high purity cobalt is deformed in such a way so as to cause the (0002) hcp plane to be tilted between 10-351 from the target normal. The aforementioned phase proportions and crystallographic texture significantly improves the sputtering efficiency and material utilization.

Abstract: The method involves illuminating the eye section and measuring the backscattered light using a point light source (1060). An image of the source is formed in a plane (E) and deflected to scan the eye section under investigation. The reflected light is evaluated using coherence tomography. Images are formed of the point light source and of the gap (S) of a gap lamp (1110) in conjugated planes and finally superimposed to form a common image, or images are formed in a common plane using a gap imaging lens directed towards the eye section. The reflected light passes back along the same light path to the point light source for the coherence tomography.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système entièrement automatisé d'identification et de mesure de conditionnements, dans lequel des systèmes (100, 101, 107) de lecture laser omnidirectionnels sont utilisés pour lire les codes-barres que portent les conditionnements entrant dans le tunnel, alors qu'un sous-système (600) de dimensionnement du conditionnement est utilisé pour recueillir des informations relatives au conditionnement avant son entrée dans le tunnel. On crée en temps réel des modèles mathématiques correspondant à la géométrie du conditionnement et à l'emplacement du faisceau de lecture laser utiliser pour lire les code-barres. Une analyse de ces modèles mathématiques permet de déterminer si les données relatives au conditionnement, recueillies et mises en files d'attente, comportent des corrélations spatiales et/ou temporelles avec les données de mesure du conditionnement grâce à des procédés de lancer de rayons à vectorisation, des transformations homogènes, et une logique de décision orientée objet de manière à permettre le suivi simultané de plusieurs conditionnements transportés à travers le tunnel de lecture.

Abstract: A device for rapidly performing initial acquisition and frame sync of a received signal for a receiver in a CDMA communication system. To this end, the base station multiplies a spreading sequence for a pilot channel by a sync pattern which maintains the same value for a sequence of a short period and for one period of this sequence but has different value at a boundary of one short sequence period. A mobile station initially calculates the spreading sequence of the short period and the correlation value to perform initial acquisition, and despreads N-chip duration around a boundary of the one short spreading sequence period to detect the multiplied pattern, thereby to acquire sync of a data frame.
