Abstract: The invention relates to a mail processing system in which the message content of mail items (1) can already be converted into an electronic message (e) in a mail routing centre (11) at an early stage in the mail flow. Said conversion takes place under the control of a control word which is provided on the mail item and which is read out in the mail routing centre. Conversion and transmission parameters are derived from the parameter codes which are provided on the mail item and which form part of the control word, or from the message part of the mail item. The message converted under the control of the conversion parameters is transmitted by electronic means to the addressee(s) (19, 20) under the control of the transmision parameters, while the mail item itself is transmitted, after conversion, via the normal mail flow (f). The inventions is intended, inter alia, for the orderflow processing of mail order companies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A heat exchanger useful for supplying infusates over substantial distances uses an extrusion which provides a central tube (16) for carrying an infusate and two outer channels (22,24) for carrying a heat exchange fluid. A first of the channels (22) carries the heat exchange fluid from an inlet end to an opposite end, and the other of the channels (24) returns the heat exchange fluid to the inlet end. An end cap (40) at the inlet end is easily connected to a source of heat exchange fluid and communicates with the channels. An end cap (26) at the opposite end receives the heat exchange fluid from the first channel (22) and redirects it to the second channel (24). Both of the end caps (26,40) have connectors (32,45) for facilitating connection with lines from a source of infusate and a patient. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Deep-drawn, deep-drawn and stretched or extruded, cylindrical aluminium cans are coated inside and outside, provided with a two-stage neck (10, 20) by drawing-in, onto which neck a thread (30) is rolled, and then cut to length, the drawing-in of the neck, the thread-rolling and the cutting-to-length being carried out in the same clamping operation on the can. The coating used is mixed with a catalyst, plasticiser and/or lubricant to increase its flexibility, to increase its adhesiveness and to improve its sliding properties. The thread is rolled by the can neck being supported from inside by a virtually stationary thread template (40) while a thread roller (50) is rolled over the surface of the neck from outside, the said roller pressing the thread inwards into the neck. Thread template and thread roller are positively controlled in such a way that a slipping is produced between them and the material of the neck. As a result, the coating remains intact even in the region of the thread.

Abstract: A fixed base plate (10) having a rigidity and a flexible base plate (20) are so provided as to face each other. The peripheries of both the base plates are fixed on a casing (40) of a device. An acting body (30) is bonded to the lower surface of the flexible base plate. Testing electrodes (11t, 13t, 15t) are formed on the lower surface of the fixed base plate and further fixed electrodes (11, 13, 15) are formed under the testing electrodes via an insulation layer (16). Displacement electrodes (21, 23, 25) are formeed on the upper surface of the flexible base plate. When an acceleration acts on the acting body, the flexible base plate bends and the distances between the fixed electrodes and the displacement electrodes changes, causing the capacitance between the electrodes to change. The acted acceleration can be measured by measuring the capacitance changed. For testing the performance of the device, a Coulomb force is made to act on the testing electrodes and the displacment electrodes by applying voltages across both the electrodes. The flexible base plate is bent due to the Coulomb forces and there is the same state as the one when the acceleration acts. The testing of the performance becomes possible by measuring the change of the capacitance between the fixed electrodes and the displacement electrodes in this state.

Abstract: New type of planar antenna of microwaves appropriate for operating in linear or circular polarization, free of welds and floating potentials, and therefore free of electrostatic discharges and problems related to passive intermodulation products, whose application is of particular interest in aircraft and space technologies. Said antenna consists in the interconnection of a microstrip radiator with a spiral antenna of wires. For certain applications wherein said radiators are arranged in a same plane, the radiating effect of the patch may reduce the size of the spiral, whereby the radiator object of this invention degenerates into a circular slit in the ground plane of the supply line and wherein the helically arranged wires provide for the electric contact between the edges of the slit.

Abstract: If a single electronic ballast (1, 2, 3) is used for the joint operation of at least two fluorescent lamps (LL1, LL2), then, even in the event of one fluorescent lamp being deactivated in the case of a defect, the operation of the other fluorescent lamps is intended to be maintained without defect. For this purpose, a switching device (S1, 5) is arranged between the individual fluorescent lamps and lamp inductors (DR1, DR2) allocated individually to them. This switching device (S1, 5) is triggered by a defect condition, in the case of which the starting voltage is applied to one of the fluorescent lamps for longer than a predetermined time interval (t1). On switching over, the lamp circuits are jointly connected to only one of the lamp inductors. A single series-resonant circuit is formed from the two series-resonant circuits of the two lamp circuits, in which single series-resonant circuit it is irrelevant which of the fluorescent lamps is deactivated, and no high starting voltage occurs as long as only one of the fluorescent lamps is illuminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Stimulateur électrique à usage médical mettant en ÷uvre le circuit (26) de sortie de l'amplificateur opérationnel pour produire une impulsion électrique de stimulation destinée à être appliquée sur les tissus de l'organisme et pour détecter l'activité électrique de ces tissus. Une première entrée (22) de l'amplificateur opérationnel est raccordée, par une charge virtuelle (104) à une électrode-sonde située à proximité du tissu. La deuxième entrée (24) est raccordée à une deuxième électrode, éloignée du tissu à stimuler. Un certain signal de tension peut être appliqué à la deuxième entrée de l'amplificateur, lequel applique de manière correspondante un courant, par la charge virtuelle (104), à l'électrode-sonde tout en maintenant des niveaux de tension égaux à chacune des deux entrées. Le courant appliqué à l'électrode-sonde a pour effet de stimuler le tissu. En modifiant les signaux de tension pré-cités s'appliquant à la deuxième entrée de l'amplificateur, on génère des formes d'ondes d'impulsions de stimulation arbitraires. Une fois le signal de tension pré-cité achevé, l'amplificateur rétablit le système électrode-tissu dans son état d'équilibre électrique antérieur puis il détecte l'activité électrique induite ou spontanée dans le tissu. Ce circuit peut être employé dans les stimulateurs cardiaques, l'électrode-sonde étant logée sur ou à l'intérieur du c÷ur, ainsi que dans tout autre stimulateur électrique à usage médical.

Abstract: Spectral and imaging data can be corrected for various types of distortion, such as phase and baseline distortion, by fitting a mathematical model of the expected data to the experimental data. The model includes parameters relating to the distortions to be corrected. The model is fitted to the data by adjusting the parameters of the model, generally through a regression analysis, and when a best fit is obtained, the parameters resulting in the best fit provide the information necessary to correct the data. For example, phase parameters determined in fitting the model to the data can be used to determine a phase function to be applied to the data to phase correct the data, or the various other parameters determined may be used in the model with the phase parameters set to zero to calculate the simulated phase corrected data. Parameter for baseline or other distortions may be similarly obtained and used. The method of the invention may be used to produce phase and baseline corrected spectra, or the corrected data may be used in further aspects of the invention such as in magnet shimming wherein phased spectral data is used in connection with a magnet shim coil distortion model or in connection with movement minimization of the resonance frequency distribution to direct the shimming of magnets.
