Abstract: An interactive book or device (100) having a mechanism for generating a plurality of sensory outputs in a manner that maximizes the interaction between the user and the book or device. The interactive book includes function initiators (106) for initiating a unique sensory output that corresponds to a visual indicia (114) on a page of the book (104). A function level selector (108) is coupled to the function initiators (106) that selectively changes a function level and thereby selectively changes the sensory output corresponding to each function initiator (106). Consequently, the number of sensory outputs is increased and thereby enables greater interaction between the user and the book. It also encourages the user to creatively combine the sensory outputs to obtain a cognizable aggregate output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de coques de bateaux dans une forme femelle (3). La coque se compose, d'une part d'une âme rigide en plastique armé, et d'autre part d'une couche au moins de protection moins dure (7, 8). Cette couche e plastique ou en gomme se présente sur la face externe de l'âme rigide. Pour conférer à la coque une surface externe moins dure, et pour améliorer l'adhésion entre l'âme rigide et la couche de protection, on intègre la couche de protection à l'âme dès la fabrication de la coque. Le procédé consiste d'abord à déposer la couche de protection sur la surface de formage (4) de la forme femelle, puis à réaliser l'âme structurante par-dessus la couche de protection et les parties apparentes de la surface de formage. Pour réaliser la couche de protection avec précision et de façon rationnelle, le procédé consiste à couler la couche de protection dans un moule, et à utiliser la forme femelle, ou tout autre objet ayant servi à la réalisation de la forme femelle pour réaliser la couche de protection par moulage ou tout autre procédé de confection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the continuous production of cellulosic pulp for use in a papermaking process. The apparatus includes a vessel containing a pulping liquor and the vessel consists of a first impregnation zone and a second attrition zone. Wood chips are continuously fed into the upper end of the first zone and are subject to gentle agitation to impregnate the chips with the liquor. The impregnated chips then flow into the second zone where they are heated to a low temperature of 80 DEG  to 120 DEG  C. and subjected to more severe agitation to break down the chips and liberate the individual fibers. The liquid level in the first zone is higher than in the second zone, causing the liquid to flow upwardly in the second zone with the cooking liquor and the liberated fibers being continuously discharged from the upper end of the second zone, while larger wood chips are retained in the second zone for further attrition. The liberated fibers are removed from the cooking conditions as they are liberated to thereby prevent overcooking and discoloration of the pulp.

Abstract: Method and compositions are provided for analyzing nucleic acid sequences based on repeated cycles of duplex extension along a single-stranded template. Preferably, such extension starts from a duplex formed between an initializing oligonucleotide and the template. As illustrated in the figure, the initializing oligonucleotide is extended in an initial extension cycle by ligating an oligonucleotide probe to its end to form an extended duplex. The extended duplex is then repeatedly extended by subsequent cycles of ligation. During each cycle, the identity of one or more nucleotides in the template is determined by a label on, or associated with, a successfully ligated oligonucleotide probe. The invention provides a method of sequencing nucleic acid which obviates electrophoretic separation of similarly sized DNA fragments, and which eliminates the difficulties associated with the detection and analysis of spacially overlapping bands of DNA fragments in a gel or like medium. The invention also obviates the need to generate DNA fragments from long single-stranded templates with a DNA polymerase.
