Abstract: Film cassettes normally include a spool on to which a film strip is wound. However, the film strip is normally fixed to the spool and needs to be severed therefrom prior to processing. Described herein is a method of releasably attaching the film strip to a spool. The method provides for attachment of the film strip (30) to the spool (10) by inserting the film strip (30) into a slot (18) formed therein until an aperture (32) in the film strip (30) engages with a protrusion (20) located in the slot (18) of the spool (10). Subsequent withdrawal of the film strip (30) is achieved by further inserting the film strip (30) into the slot (18) to disengage the aperture (32) and the protrusion (20), moving the film strip (30) in a direction transverse to the direction of insertion into the slot (18) to misalign the aperture (32) and the protrusion (20) and then withdrawing the film strip (30) from the slot (18) in a direction which is reverse to that of insertion.

Abstract: Apparatus for assisting management of services provided by a computer system includes an inferencing engine (30) for carrying out inferencing operations on a declarative model (24) of a service, using facts about the system stored in a fact base (32). A resident goal store (102) contains declarative definitions of goals which concern availability of services and which it is desirable for the system to continue to satisfy; these definitions are linked to associated facts in the fact base. The service model (24) includes definitions of events which can occur in the system and may affect availability of services, and definitions of actions which can be taken to modify the configuration of the system. When occurrence of an event defined in the service model is reported to the apparatus, the event definition is used to guide analysis of the event report and appropriate updating of the fact base. Goals which are linked to the updated facts are then examined to assess whether the goals are still satisfied. If a goal is no longer satisfied the service model is searched for actions which can re-configure the system to enable the goal to be re-satisfied.

Abstract: Procédé entraînant la prolifération d'une population de cellules T par activation de ladite population et stimulation d'une molécule accessoire présente à la surface desdites cellules T par un ligand qui se fixe à ladite molécule. La prolifération des cellules T se produit alors en l'absence de facteur de croissance exogène ou de cellules accessoires. L'activation des cellules T résulte de la stimulation du complexe récepteur de la cellule T (TCR)/CD3 ou de la protéine de surface CD2. Pour entraîner la prolifération d'une population de cellules T activées, on stimule une cellule accessoire à la surface des cellules T telles que les CD9 et CD28 par un ligand (p. ex. l'anticorps monoclonal ES5.2D8) spécifique du CD9 qui se fixe à la molécule accessoire. La population de cellules T amplifiée par ce procédé peut servir à des transductions génétiques, à l'immunothérapie et à des diagnostics.

Abstract: Fibre optique (7) présentant des caractéristiques de transmission diverses sous des états de contrainte différents et pouvant subir une microcourbure en forme de S. Pour être obtenue, cette fibre est chauffée localement sur un court secteur selon le sens longitudinal de la fibre, puis les parties de la fibre (1) situées de part et d'autre du secteur chauffé sont déplacées l'une par rapport à l'autre dans un sens transversal, par rapport au sens longitudinal de la fibre. Cette opération peut s'effectuer dans un appareil classique d'épissure par fusion pour fibres optiques. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, un laser peut être utilisé comme source de chaleur, ce qui se prête particulièrement au traitement des fibres optiques présentant des cavités longitudinales conçues pour impartir à cette fibre des caractéristiques de transmission comparables. Les fibres optiques obtenues selon ce procédé se prêtent particulièrement à des utilisations comme capteurs, par exemple comme capteurs de contraintes.

Abstract: A transmitted high definition television signal is represented by a packetized datastream configured as a sequence of data fields (Fig. 1) with a non-uniform data rate due to unequal inter-data overhead information intervals. Each data field is prefaced by a Field Sync overhead segment followed by 312 packetized data segments each with associated overhead information (FEC). At a transmitter (Fig. 33), a transport processor (14) forms data packets with associated headers and exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate, while supplying a packetized datastream to a network (17) which constructs sequential data fields by inserting the non-data overhead information into the datastream. The transport processor is advantageously operated at a constant uniform data rate without having to modify the original data field structure to accommodate the needs of the data field construction network. This result is facilitated by transferring data from the transport processor to an associated interface/buffer network (46) in response to a 3/8 symbol clock, in combination with a predetermined buffer fullness level. Specifically, a video recorder/playback device (15) receives a constant uniform data rate packetized datastream from the transport processor, and outputs a constant uniform data rate datastream to the interface/buffer network. A counterpart transport processor/decoder (86) at a receiver (Fig. 34) coacts with a data field processor (75) and similarly exhibits uninterrupted operation at a constant uniform data rate. A video recorder/playback device (85) receives a constant uniform data rate datastream from an interface/buffer (84) after removal of overhead information, and outputs a constant uniform data rate datastream to the transport decoder.
