Patent EP-0814472-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WADA TAKEO
IPC: G11B20/14
Filed: 1997-06-16
Abstract: A method and system retrieving data stored on a compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM) device using the constant angular velocity (CAV) reading technique. Unlike the constant linear acceleration (CLA) reading technique, in the CAV reading technique the data retrieval rates of the CD-ROM read head vary depending on the radius of the annular recording track that is being read. Data rates can be as much as 2.5x faster for the outer recording tracks compared to the inner recording tracks. The novel system utilizes a narrow capture band phase lock loop circuit in conjunction with a microcontroller which controls the center frequency supplied to the phase lock loop circuit. The microcontroller adjusts the center frequency of the phase lock loop circuit depending on the track (e.g., radius) position of the read head of the CD-ROM device. With the center frequency adjusted close to the data rate of the current track, the phase lock loop circuit needs only a narrow capture band to accurately retrieve the read reference clock from the current track. In one embodiment, the microcontroller is aware of the read head position because it controls read head movement. A microcontroller controlled programmable oscillator (e.g., synthesizer) is used in one embodiment of the novel system to generate the required center frequencies. Direct computation or a look-up table based on the read head position can be used by the microcontroller to determine the required center frequencies. A decoder is supplied with the read reference clock for data decoding.

Abstract: Die Erfindung beschreibt lichtstarke Zonenplatten (4), die für ein hochauflösendes Röntgenmikroskop als Kondensoren und Röntgenobjektive vorgesehen sind. Sie besitzen einen hohen Beugungswirkungsgrad in einer hohen Beugungsordnung, was durch ein hohes Aspektverhältnis (H/P) und ein geeignet eingestelltes Strich/Lücke-Verhältnis (P1/P2) kleiner 1 erreicht wird. Zusätzliche Verbesserungen können durch Zonen (6, 7) erzielt werden, die zur optischen Achse (3) geneigt sind. Die Zonenplatten (4) können auch in Braggreflexion betrieben werden. Damit stehen effiziente Optiken mit hoher numerischer Apertur zur Verfügung. Mit ihnen sind Röntgenmikroskope mit 10 nm Auflösung möglich. Dabei können die Zonenplatten (4) relativ grob strukturiert sein. Deshalb sind sie leicht und in vergleichsweise kurzer Zeit herzustellen. Die Zonenplatten (4) hoher numerischer Apertur lassen sich besonders vorteilhaft in Laborröntgenmikroskopen als kleine Kondensoren einsetzen, da sie aus einem besonders hohen Raumwinkel Licht einer Mikroplasma-Röntgenstrahlungsquelle auffangen und auf das Objekt fokussieren können.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that nitric oxide (NO) is an important growth regulator in an intact developing organism. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of increasing in a mammal a population of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis and differentiation, wherein the bone marrow is contacted with an inhibitor of NO, such as an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), thereby producing bone marrow having an increased population of hematopoietic stem cells which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis and differentiation. The present invention also relates to a method of increasing a population of cells in S phase in a tissue of a mammal, comprising contacting the tissue with an inhibitor of NO, such as an inhibitor of NOS. The invention also pertains to a method of regenerating tissue in an adult mammal comprising contacting a selected tissue (e.g., blood, skin, bone and digestive epithelium), or precursor cells of the selected tissue, with an inhibitor of NO, thereby inhibiting differentiation and inducing proliferation of cells of the tissue.

Title: Tyre testing method and device
Inventor: BUX HERMANN
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: This is a new tyre testing process. Examination takes place before and after alteration in tyre pressure. Using coherent radiation, an interferogram of the tyre surface is produced. This is converted into a moduluo-2  image, which is then processed to a grey-scale picture. By comparison with this image, existing tyre defect information is derived. The tyre, on the vehicle, is driven onto a set of live rollers. A test head is advanced to a set distance from the tyre, to register the interferogram. A first segment is scanned for defects. The tyre is turned through a further segment by the rollers. Segments are scanned until the entire surface has been examined. Also claimed is a tyre testing unit for the purpose described.

Abstract: Provided is an economical identification system suitable for use on
commercial products which is difficult to duplicate, and highly identifiable. The
system includes an identification medium having a high-polymer cholesteric
liquid crystal material applicd thereon. The high-polymer cholesteric liquid
crystals selectively reflect a certain wavelength, and this wavelength changes
with the change in the incident angle of the light. The liquid crystals also have the
property to circularly polarize the reflected light in either sense. By taking
advantages of such properties, it is possiblc to provide a highly identifiable
structure which, however, is highly difficult to illicitly duplicate. In particular, by
forming the reflective layer of a hologram with high-polymer cholesteric liquid
crystals, the hologram can be used as an identification medium which is highly
difficult to duplicatc but easy to identify with a machine.

Abstract: In a complex power distribution network (e.g. CATV), a switching mode power
supply at a node, automatically recovers from low input voltage conditions. When the input
voltage to a switching power supply decreases to a critical level, the output voltage is no
longer regulated and input current increases, and then the network becomes unstable. The
network can enter a quasi-stable high current condition in which the output voltage remains
unstagle. In one specific embodiment, an automatic shut down circuit senses the unstable
condition (or a voltage or current indicating the potential for instability) and latches the power
supply into a shut down state. After a predetermined pause (that may depend on the input
voltage), the power supply automatically restarts. Upon restarting, if the power supply is still
unstable or potentially unstable, then the shut down circuit shuts the power supply down again
and so forth. In another specific embodiment, the controller regulates the output voltage of the
power supply when input voltage is sufficient, but when input voltage decreases then a
controller of the power supply operates in an approximately constant current mode so that the
distribution network maintains stability.
