Abstract: The curtain coating assembly (10), to coat the surface of a moving web substrate (U) with a paste or liquid coating (18) and especially a pigment suspension, has a jet unit (14) at the applicator (12) to deliver a coating curtain (18). At least one guide (22) is in the falling path of the coating curtain, which directs the coating over the whole curtain width over at least a part of its falling path. The web curtain coating assembly has a guide in the path of the falling coating curtain, which divides it into a path section (24) between the feed and the guide, and a second path section (26) between the guide and the moving substrate. The guide can be directly at the delivery jet. The variable length of the curtain coating which covers the guide is measured in the direction of its movement. The guide forms an included angle ( alpha ) of 5-30 degrees with the direction of the curtain coating free fall line. The surface (22a) of the guide, covered by the coating medium, forms an included angle ( beta ) with the end surface (22b) of the guide of 20-60 degrees . The guide can be a guide scraper against the substrate. The guide is pitched at an angle of 20-80 degrees in the required flow direction, and preferably 45-80 degrees . The end of the guide surface towards the moving substrate can be extended at an angle of 30-50 degrees . The guide can also cover the whole flow stretch for the coating medium, between the delivery jet and the moving substrate. The surface of the guide, towards the coating medium, has a hydrophobic character, or has a hydrophobic cladding of a treated glass fiber film. At least the end surface of the guide is free of hydrophobic cladding. The coating curtain flows over the upper surface of the guide, or along its under surface. At least one electrode can be at the guide, on the side away from the flowing coating. A suction box is at the moving substrate, in front of the contact line where the coating curtain strikes it, together with a scraper at the entry and/or exit side, with a scraping edge lying on the moving substrate. The scraper at the exit side can be formed by the coating guide. The coating curtain flows over the guide surface, in a length (l) of 1-200 mm and preferably 1-50 mm. The travel speed of the substrate is 1000-3000 m/min. for a paper web and 200-1000 m/min. for a cardboard web. The coating is applied in ready doses to the substrate surface. The delivery jet has a coating delivery rate of 2-200 l/min. per meter of the web width. The length (H) of the coating curtain is 5-400 mm and preferably 40-200 mm. The guide is of metal or plastics e.g. a plastics with reinforcement carbon or glass fibers. The guide has a thickness (D) of 0.2-1.0 mm. The guide is positioned at the applicator, at an angle to the moving substrate of 70 degrees , in either direction. The guide can have a convex or concave curvature, with a curved surface at a tangent to the free fall of the coating curtain, in either direction, at an angle of up to 70 degrees .

Abstract: An optical switch comprises a programmable optical polarization unit
(POLCON) which receives an input optical signal and selects an output signal
polarization in response to a control signal. A polarization beam splitter (PBS)
splits the selected polarization signal from the POLCON into a first and second
orthogonally polarized signals. A feedback circuit couples a feedback signal
indicative of the optical signal strength of at least one of the orthogonally
polarized signals back to the POLCON which uses it to adjust the output signal
polarization. The optical switch may be used with input optical signals having
fixed or varying polarizations by utilizing a single or two feedback signals,
respectively. The optical switch may be used as an optical Add/Drop unit or
incorporated as part of a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal
Add/Drop unit.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire is provided in which hydroplaning
performance, transverse slipping performance on snow, straight
forward traveling stability, and the like are maintained by a pair
of circumferential grooves. A large number of second blocks and
center blocks are formed, by a large number of transverse grooves,
in a center tread region positioned between the pair of
circumferential grooves. A reinforcing portion is provided at the
center block. This reinforcing portion faces, in a
circumferential direction, the second block with a narrow
transverse groove therebetween. Another reinforcing portion is
provided at an end portion of the second block. This reinforcing
portion faces, in the circumferential direction, the center block
with a narrow transverse groove therebetween. Each block is
reinforced by the reinforcing portion provided integrally
therewith. When a block receives load in a direction of
deformation, the block abuts and is supported by the reinforcing
portion of a block adjacent thereto. Thus, even if a number of
transverse grooves is increased, deformation is suppressed.
Accordingly, good off-road performance, on-snow performance, and
on-road traveling performance can be obtained.

Abstract: When a detection device (51a) detects any kind of change regarding track
recording after the start of the track recording, a grouping instruction is
given to information attaching and generating device (51a). Then, the
information attaching and generating device (51a) attaches the same
group name information to a group, in which a track where the recording
has been started in an information recording medium (20) to a track
recorded at the point when the grouping instruction has been received are
made to be the same group, and group control information is generated.
Therefore, since the grouping is automatically performed by any kind of
change regarding the track recording, a user can omit the operation that
he/she performs the grouping by himself/herself, and thus the operation
load of the user can be reduced.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing data in a communications system includes generating a composite signal comprising a serial stream of data partitioned in one or more frames, and transmitting the composite signal to a receiver. Multiphase clock signals are generated. The composite signal received at the receiver is compared with each of the multiphase clock signals until either sustained coincidence therebetween is achieved or sustained non-coincidence is achieved, thereby synchronizing the receiver to bit boundaries in the composite signal and to one or more of the clock phase signals. One or more bit templates at the receiver is correlated with one or more corresponding bit templates in the composite signal received at the receiver to determine where frames start in the composite signal, thereby synchronizing the receiver to the one or more frames in the composite signal.

Abstract: A method for treatment of neurodegenerative disease conditions stemming from
multiple sclerosis, aging, autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. A compound
effective to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to a histamine H 2  agonist is
administered in an amount sufficient to stimulate production of cyclic AMP at a level
which is sufficient to maintain myelin against undergoing self-degeneration. The
compound is selected from the group consisting of histamine M-methyltransferase,
monoamineoxidase-A, monoamineoxidase-A agonists and histamine H 3  antagonists.
The histamine M-methyltransferase may be administered to increase neuronal
metabolism of histamine to tele-methylhistamine, whereas the monoamineoxidase-A or
monoamineoxidase-A agonist may be administered so as to increase neuronal
metabolism of telemethylhistamine to an H 2  agonist. Separately or in conjunction with
the others, the histamine H 3  antagonist may be administered so as to inhibit metabolism
of the telemethylhistamine to an H 3  agonist, thereby increasing metabolism of the
telemethylhistamine to an H 2  agonist. The increased histamine H 2  agonist levels reduce
demyelination and the symptoms that are associated with these conditions.
