Abstract: Methods, devices and pharmaceutical compositions for the controlled, non-surgical removal and retrieval of cells from a plurality of skin lesions and tissue surfaces are disclosed. A synergistic effect of proteolytic digestion of the intracellular matrix and "stripping" flow is achieved by treating a defined area with a controlled, continuous stream of proteolytic enzyme solution, causing gentle but effective tissue erosion. Isolated cells from the skin lesion and/or tissue surface may be collected from the protease solution stream for histological analysis and/or cell culture, affording a method of "enzymatic biopsy". The protease solution may be supplemented with anesthetics, coagulants, anticoagulants and antibiotics to decrease the discomfort, erythema, bleeding, risk of infection and scarring traditionally associated with surgical treatment of skin lesions. Furthermore, in the present invention delivery of precise levels of catalytic activity is ensured by controlled activation of stable, inactivated enzyme stock solutions and powders shortly prior to application.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for pumping the tire of a vehicle while the vehicle is travelling. The device is mounted on the wheel axle and, apart from a hanging counterweight ( 226 ) which remains stationary, the entire device rotates with the axle and wheels. Tire pressure is sensed and, when below a predetermined level, a piston ( 22 ) moves axially to press a rotating clutch plate ( 260 ) against the stationary counterweight ( 226 ). The clutch plate ( 260 ) thus stops rotating. Part of a pump drive structure ( 216 ) stops rotating with the clutch plate ( 260 ). Relative rotation between this part of the pump drive structure and the remainder of the pump drive structure causes air to be pumped to the tire. When tire pressure has been restored the piston ( 22 ) moves back, the clutch plate ( 260 ) is released, and the pumping action ceases.

Abstract: An axial motor ( 100 ) driven by opposed pistons/cylinder ( 101 a- 105 b , 111 a- 115 b) pairs arranged in a circular array about a central axis of the motor ( 100 ). The opposed pistons ( 101 a , 101 b ; 102 a , 102 b ; 103 a , 103 b ; 104 a , 104 b ; 105 a , 105 b) in each pair are linked by a corresponding connecting rod ( 106-110 ), which transfers the thrust from the pistons ( 101 a- 105 a) to an output shaft via a power transmission apparatus ( 300 ) and z crank ( 114 ) arrangement. Reciprocating couplings disposed in the transmission apparatus ( 300 ) connect the connecting rods ( 106-110 ) to the apparatus ( 300 ). During operation, the reciprocating couplings oscillate to retain the connecting rods ( 106-110 ) substantially aligned with the corresponding piston pair to reduce side thrust on the pistons.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for making a polymeric article mold, a method for making a polymeric article with that mold, and improved surface topography features for a polymeric article. A prototype article is formed and then coated with a thin conductive layer. The coated prototype article is then electroformed until nickel plated to a sufficient depth to define a nickel plating tool. After the prototype article has been removed from the mold face of the nickel tool, the tool can be used as a mold for forming finished polymeric articles which replicate the original prototype article. The use of fine topography features such as a dense upstanding stem array on the surface of the prototype article facilitates accurate and complete electroforming by increased surface area presentation. The disclosure also presents improvements to microreplicated surface structures such as stem arrays. The improvements include the formation on a stem array having separate zones of stems of differing heights, and the formation of directional microreplicated features (e.g., stems) which are oriented and shaped to promote or restrict frictional interaction in one or more particular directions.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the finding that the evaluation of the sensor signals of a position sensor with a mechanical period or, in general terms, the cooperation between position sensors and evaluation units, can be improved by eliminating divergence between the electrically optimal period and the mechanically optimal period. According to the present invention this is achieved in that the position sensor signal, which has a period which depends on the mechanical period of the scale of the position sensor, is translated into a translated signal with a period which corresponds to a second mechanical period, which e.g. has been set to the electrically optimal period, prior to-or for the purpose of-transmitting it to an evaluation unit, whereby not only can transmission errors be minimized and the evaluability improved but a complicated mechanical adjustment of the scale of the position sensor relative to the evaluation unit is avoided.

Abstract: A system and a method for coding and decoding video data are disclosed. In a system and method of video data compression a video frame (32) is divided into a sequence of image blocks (38), wherein one of several possible block-coding modes is an implicit global motion compensation (IGMC) mode, which is used to copy pixels from a previous frame (32) displaced by a predicted motion vector. In another embodiment of the invention, a system and method of a video data compression, a video frame (32) is segmented into a sequence of slices (36), wherein each slice (36) includes a number of macroblocks (38). Respective slices (36) are encoded and a signal is included in the header (44) of an encoded slice (40) to indicate whether the slice (40) is GMC enabled, that is, whether global motion compensation is to be used in reconstructing the encoded slice. If so, GMC information, such as information representing a set of motion vectors (42a-42d), is included with the slice. In a useful embodiment each slice (36) of a frame (32) contains the same GMC information, to enhance resiliency against errors. In another embodiment different slices (36) of a frame (32) contain different GMC information. In either embodiment, motion vectors (42a-42d) for each image of a particular encoded slice (40) can be reconstructed using GMC information contained only in the particular encoded slice.

Abstract: Image quality is improved by adjusting the ejection amount of quality enhancing ink (CL) based on the ejection amount of colored ink containing colorant. When a relatively high gross printing medium (GP) is used, the quality enhancing ink (CL) is ejected in an image area (R2) where virtually no colored ink is ejected, thereby improving unevenness in gloss within the print image. When a relatively low gross printing medium (NP) is used, on the other hand, the quality enhancing ink (CL) is ejected in an image area (R3) where the colored ink is ejected on virtually all pixels, thereby improving unevenness in color within the print image. The relationship between the ejection amounts of the quality enhancing ink and the colored ink may be modified by the user. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
