Abstract: L'objet de l'invention est l'obtention d'une cartouche (1) qui soit économique à produire et également à remplir, qui ne comporte qu'une petite quantité de matière plastique et qui, lorsqu'elle est jetée, est très peu polluante. En outre, ladite cartouche devrait se prêter au plus grand nombre d'utilisations possibles, être vidée au maximum de sa substance résiduelle et garantir un grand volume de transport. A cet effet, on obtient, selon l'invention, une cartouche (1) pour substance coulante pourvue d'une enveloppe (2) en matière souple délimitant un volume. Ladite cartouche comporte, à une extrémité, un élément d'expression en forme de piston (4) et, à une autre extrémité, un élément de sortie (3). Dans la région de la sortie, se trouve une ouverture de distribution dont le diamètre, compte tenu des forces qui peuvent être appliquées sur l'élément d'expression, de la viscosité de la substance coulante et de la souplesse de l'enveloppe, garantit, dans le volume délimité par l'enveloppe, une pression interne qui peut agir à l'encontre d'un pliage du matériau de l'enveloppe à l'intérieur du volume.

Abstract: A method for transmission of a sequence of high quality images for display on a visual display unit is described. It has particular application in the field of telepathology, where magnified images obtained by scanning a medical specimen on the stage of an optical microscope are transmitted from a local pathologist to a remote consultant for diagnosis. The method consists of the steps of advancing the field of view of the camera in discrete steps across the object being viewed to capture a sequence of contiguous images, temporarily storing a digital representation of a first of the images in a first buffer store and a digital representation of at least part of the next succeeding image in a second buffer store, controlling the data in the two buffers stores such that the data follows the leading edge of the advancing viewpoint and data in the first buffer store representing a trailing incremental strip of the first stored image is progressively discarded while data in the second buffer store representing a trailing incremental strip of the next contiguous image is transferred to a location in the first buffer store occupied by the data representing a leading incremental strip of the first stored image.

Abstract: A method for determining reproducibly if visual features of an object are known to a person. For that purpose, one or more test images are prepared by applying predetermined algorithms so that an image of the respective object is altered such that cognitive perception is in general impossible whereas the global affective impression is not influenced. The test images are presented to a person and it is determined if recognition occurs and if so how certain and how correct. Finally, it is determined which parts of the original images can be reproduced based on information recalled from the memory and if there is confusion or interchange with other images.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydraulically actuated brake system for vehicles, comprising a hydraulic pump (18), a high pressure hydraulic accumulator (24) for a powershifted brake system (10) and a conventional master brake cylinder (10) used to indicate the prescribed braking force value. The invention suggests that a suction part of the hydraulic pump (18) be connected to a low pressure hydraulic accumulator (20) into which the brake fluid flows from the wheel brake cylinders (16) when the wheel brake pressure goes down. The advantage of the inventive system is that it makes useless the connections from the hydraulic pump (18) to a holding tank (12) of the master brake cylinder (10), which are likely, in case of sealing defect, to bring about a malfunction of both the powershifted brake system and the auxiliary manually actuated brake system.
