Abstract: A method and device for enhancing the run of a web in a paper machine in which water is removed from the web by pressing the web in at least one press nip and after pressing, the web is dried in at least one dryer group applying impingement drying. The web is guided along a substantially linear path or by using a large curve radius in the dryer group applying impingement drying. In the drying stage, after the impingement drying, the web is dried in at least one dryer group having normal single-wire draw. The web is passed from the pressing stage to the drying stage as a closed draw and more particularly, from the pressing stage to the area with single-wire draw in the drying stage so that the web is constantly supported against at least one support face.

Abstract: A monitor (120) determining a patient's physical condition includes a calibration device (104) configured to provide a calibration signal representative of a patient's physiological parameter. An exciter (202) is positioned over a blood vessel of the patient for inducing a transmitted exciter waveform into the patient. A noninvasive sensor (210) is positioned over the blood vessel, where the noninvasive sensor is configured to sense a hemoparameter and to generate a noninvasive sensor signal representative of the hemoparameter containing a component of a physiological parameter waveform and a component of a received exciter waveform. In this context, a hemoparameter is defined as any physiological parameter related to vessel blood such as pressure, flow, volume, velocity, blood vessel wall motion, blood vessel wall position and other related parameters. A processor (100) is configured to determine a relationship between a property of the received exciter waveform and a property of the physiological parameter. The processor is connected to receive the calibration signal and the noninvasive sensor signal, and the processor is configured to process the calibration signal and the noninvasive sensor signal to determine the physical condition. In an exemplary embodiment, the physical condition is arterial stiffness that represents cardiovascular disease, however, many additional physical conditions can be measured and determined such as arterial elasticity, arterial thickness, arterial wall compliance and other conditions. Also, in an exemplary embodiment, the physiological parameter measured is blood pressure, however, the present invention can also be used to analyze and track other physiological parameters.

Abstract: An electronic music system has an input device, one or more computer storage media, a rhythm generator, a pitch selector, and a sound generator. The input device generates rhythm-related input signals and pitch-related input signals in response to manipulations of the input device by a user attempting to create and play a solo. The computer storage media have a plurality of user-selectable musical accompaniment tracks over which the user can create and play the solo and a plurality of rhythm blocks wherein each rhythm block defines, for at least one note, at least a time at which the note should be played. The computer storage media also store at least a portion of the solo created by the user over a predetermined time interval in the immediate past. The rhythm generator receives the rhythm-related input signals from the input device, selects one of the rhythm blocks from the computer storage media based on the rhythm-related input signals, and outputs an instruction to play the note at the time defined by the selected rhythm block. The pitch selector receives the pitch-related input signals from the input device and selects an appropriate pitch based on the pitch-related input signals, the user-selected musical accompaniment track, and the stored solo information. The pitch selector then outputs that appropriate pitch. The sound generator receives instructions from the rhythm generator, pitches from the pitch selector, and the user-selected musical accompaniment track and generates an audio signal representative of the user-created solo and the accompaniment track.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymeric medical articles comprising the antiinfective agents chlorhexidine and triclosan. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the synergistic relationship between these compounds permits the use of relatively low levels of both agents, and on the discovery that effective antimicrobial activity may be achieved when these compounds are comprised in either hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymers. It is also based on the discovery that chlorhexidine free base and triclosan, used together, are incorporated into polymeric medical articles more efficiently. Medical articles prepared according to the invention offer the advantage of preventing or inhibiting infection while avoiding undesirably high release of antiinfective agent, for example into the bloodstream of a subject.

Abstract: The entire front face of the boot (19) is covered in saddle fashion by a flexible tongue (1) joined in the toe area to the baseplate (3) of the binding so as to pivot at right angles to the longitudinal axis, and where it saddles the front part of the boot the tongue forms toroidally convex corrugations (7) to form troughs (8) in which the binding fasteners can slidably adjust and be tensioned. The tip area of the tongue can be hinged to the baseplate via two individually adjustable toothed-belt ratchets (9,10) which slide through the two bridges (11) on the top of the toe part of the tongue. The corrugated part of the tongue may be made of softer plastics than the remaining tongue. The fastener (4,5) ratchets operate on a step-by-step overtaking principle. The slide fastener band (6) around the shin may be non-detachably joined to the rear spoiler (3), and be divided similar to the fastener (4) and can be pulled tight to the rear via side slots in the tongue (1).

Abstract: The process involves linking vine support wires between stakes by use of staples. Firstly the support wires are brought closer together than the length of the staples. The free end of a metal wire is fed over and across the support wires making it correspond to the length of staple jaws. The wire is then sectioned from its end at a distance which corresponds to the length of a staple. The ends of the section are folded over to form a staple around the support wires before both are released.

Abstract: A progressive-scan charge-coupled device (PSCCD) camera (2) may capture an entire frame of an image of an optically readable code. The camera generates a histogram or probability distribution function (PDF) of the images and uses the histogram or PDF to automatically adjust the contrast of the image. The camera also generates a cumulative distribution function (CDF) which is used to automatically adjust the illumination intensity including the brightness of the image and the duration over which the image is obtained. The captured analog video image is converted to a digital video image which may be output over the camera's bidirectional bus interface (14) to a component outside of the camera. Updated programs, parameters and other information may be sent in the opposite direction over the bus interface to the camera. The camera may be mounted at a fixed station or may be incorporated into a portable unit, and may be hand-held and/or battery operated.

Abstract: In order to reduce the duration for establishing verification protocols during the connection of a chip card to a reader, to reduce the risks of corruption during this operation and to limit memory occupancy, it is proposed to constitute a signature which can be used for verifying the adequacy of the chip card for implementing an application. This signature is carried out by a signature machine which prepares a concatenated word including all the data required for producing this signature. Thus it is possible to modify on request the structure of the required signature for an application without having to modify the operational system of the memory chip.
