Abstract: A control system that is responsive to an audio signal generated by an audio source such as a computer, video game console, stereo system and the like. The control system converts the audio signal into a control signal for a tactile sensation generator such as a vibrating cushion, vibrating seat pad, and the like. The control system contains an audio signal processor and a control signal generator. The audio signal processor produces a processed signal indicative of the amplitude, frequency, and rate of change of the audio signal. From the processed signal, a control signal generator produces a control signal for a tactile sensation generator. The control signal causes the tactile sensation generator to produce a tactile sensation corresponding to the present scene being displayed, for example, on a monitor of a computer executing a computer game.

Abstract: A polarized electromagnetic relay includes a base, an electromagnet with a coil and a pair of pole pieces extending perpendicularly from the end of said coil, a balanced armature and spring system which when actuated pivots between two fixed contact points and a permanent magnet inducing the same magnetic poles in both of said pole pieces and providing an opposite pole in closely adjacent relationship to the central portion of the armature. A movable contact spring is fixedly connected to the armature, said spring forming contact arms at either armature end portion. Further, a flexible movable braid connects the movable contacts on said movable spring to each other and to a movable contact terminal. A pair of retaining tabs extending from a central bobbin flange engaging corresponding recesses at the lateral sides of the armature limits the movement of the armature in two directions as well as its rotation. This feature eliminates the need for a torsion spring and allows the contact forces to be higher if necessary. Two identical coils wound in a common direction are provided as the means for actuation. Armature transfer will occur by either applying a voltage pulse across the appropriate coil, or by toggling the voltage pulse polarity across the two coils connected in series.

Abstract: A method for analyzing blood enables one to isolate, detect, enumerate and confirm under magnification the presence or absence of target cancer cells and/or hematologic progenitor cells which are known to circulate in blood. The analysis is performed in a sample of centrifuged anticoagulated whole blood. The analysis involves both morphometric and epitopic examination of the blood sample while the blood sample is disposed in a centrifuged blood sampling tube. The epitopic analysis of the presence or absence of cancer cells relies on the detection of epitopes which are known to present only on cancer cells; and the epitopic analysis of the presence or absence of hematologic progenitor cells relies on the detection of epitopes which are known to present only on hematologic progenitor cells. The targeted epitopes on the target cell types are epitopes which are also known to be absent on normal circulating blood cells; and the target cancer cell epitopes are epitopes which are known to be absent on target hematologic progenitor cells. Fluorophors with distinct emissions are coupled with antibodies which are directed against the targeted epitopes. The morphometric analysis is performed by staining the cells in the blood sample with an intracellular stain such as acridine orange which highlights the intracellular cell structure. Both the morphometric and epitopic analyses are preferably performed at or near the platelet layer of the expanded buffy coat in the centrifuged blood sample. The morphometric analysis and/or the epitopic analysis may be performed under magnification both visually and/or photometrically. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for an in-line filtering (10) of a liquid metal, by using only a single installation, to obtain a very good filtering of any liquid metal whatever its melting point. The device comprising a treating chamber (11) made of refractory material and having an inlet (12) for supplying the metal liquid to be filtered, an element for cleaning (16) the metal, and an element for degassing (17) the cleaned metal. The degassed metal is then injected, under pressure via an injection pump (18), into a porous filtering element (19) and injected liquid flows tangentially to a filtering surface of the filtering element (19) for filtering the metal while simultaneously cleaning the filtering surface. Under the effect of the applied pressure, a portion of the degassed metal passes through the filtering element (19), which is enclosed by a chamber (20), and the filtered liquid is evacuated through an output port (21) provided in the treating chamber (11). The unfiltered liquid metal, which contains all the impurities, is re-introduced back into the treating chamber (11), via a conduit (22) which includes pressure and flow regulator (23), for further processing. A method for in-line filtration of a liquid metal is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydraulic binder is produced by firing gypsum and then rapid cooling the product from the firing temperature to below 80[deg]C in less than 2 minutes. Production of a hydraulic binder, which is based on natural or artificial calcium sulfate (gypsum, sulfo-gypsum, phospho-gypsum or titano-gypsum) and which contains more than 70% stable and soluble alpha anhydrite (anhydrite-III), is carried out by subjecting gypsum to (a) a firing or soaking step in which the gypsum is heated from ambient temperature to 220-350[deg]C; and (b) rapid cooling to below 80[deg]C in less than 2 minutes to stabilize the alpha anhydrite by fixing of its crystallographic structure. An independent claim is also included for a hydraulic binder acting as an alpha anhydrite based cement and obtained by the above process, the binder containing more than 70% stable and soluble alpha anhydrite.
