Inventor: RASMUSSEN JORGEN
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: An inhaler for delivery of medicament from a canister (2) which is compressible to deliver a dose of medicament. The inhaler com-prises: a housing (1) for holding a canister (2); a canister engagement lever (10) engageable with a canister (2) held in the housing to compress the canister (2); a loading mechanism for loading a resilient loading ele-ment (7) which is arranged, when loaded, to bias the canister engagement lever (10) to compress the canister (2); and a triggering mechanism ar-ranged to hold the canister engagement lever (10) against compression of the canister (2) and triggerable to release the canister engagement lever (10).

Title: Cutting segment for a false drum and method of supporting material overlying a slot
Inventor: CAVALOTTI MARIE-LAURE BENEDICT
IPC: B29D30/30
Filed: 2002-09-06
Abstract: A cutting segment for a False Drum (100,200,300) having a cylindrical outer surface (202,306) comprises a slot (204,224,330) extending generally axially from end-to-end of the cylindrical surface, a door panel (322) having substantially the same size and shape as the slot; and a mechanism (320) for opening and closing the door panel. The mechanism for selectively opening and closing the door panel includes an elongate lever (324), one end of which supports the door panel, the other end of which is pivotally attached to a stationary portion (point) of the drum, a spring (326) extending between an inner surface of the door panel and another stationary portion of the drum; and an inflatable pneumatic tube (328) disposed between the lever and yet another stationary portion of the drum. There is thereby provided a method of supporting material overlying the cutting slot of the False Drum, by opening the slot when cutting the material, and closing the slot when not cutting the material. Importantly, after the material is cut, the door panel closes the slot so that the cut end of the material does not hang in the slot, but rather is supported, thereby ensuring reliable transfer of the material to a tire building drum.

Title: Method for providing the transmission characteristics of a microphone arrangement and microphone arrangement
Inventor: ROECK HANS-UELI
IPC: H04R1/40
Filed: 2000-03-31
Abstract: Two output signals (A1a and A1b) of a microphone arrangement (1) are divided (7), whereby said signals are dif-ferently dependent on the direction of incidence (.PHI.) of acoustic signals. A product from the division result (A7) and the weighting factor (.alpha.) is saturated (12) and subtracted from a signal value (A) which can be inputted. The subtraction result is multiplied with the output signal of the microphone arrangement (1) which is the denominator signal for the division (7). A desired directivity is produced between the result signal (S out) of the multiplication and the direction of incidence (.PHI.) on the microphone arrangement (1) of incident acoustic signals according to the weighting factor (.alpha.) of the saturation value (B) and of the subtraction value (A).

Abstract: A sealing device for heat-mold pressing a laminate sheet of a thermoplastic material comprising: a rotatable mold frame roll having mold frames for sealing on roll outer surface; a thermal conductive heat-resistant belt moving synchronously at a same speed as the circumferential speed of the mold frame roll so as to hold and transfer the laminate sheet of the thermoplastic material between the belt and the mold frame roll; and a heater for heating and mold-pressing the laminate sheet of the thermoplastic material, the heater which contacts the heat-resistant belt from the opposite side of the surface contacting the laminate sheet of the thermoplastic material and presses the heat-resistant belt against the mold frame roll. As the heat and pressure for sealing may be provided during one rotation of the mold frame roll, sealing is completed during approximate one round movement of the tape to be sealed around the mold frame roll, and the device may easily conform to high-speed rotation, may be miniaturized and further unprecedented high speed sealing is realized. And in operation, sealing is performed by only rotational movement at a constant speed, using only a small number of consumable parts, capable of energy-saving manufacturing, easy maintenance and checking, easy, precise and accurate positioning of sealing part.

Title: Color separation method and printed product of the method
Inventor: LEE DAVID L
IPC: H04N1/58
Filed: 2003-01-07
Abstract: A method is described far overcoming the adverse visual effect of mis-registered ink planes in multiple ink color prints. Color separations are initially made in a normal fashion. The separation carrying the greatest object detail is then chosen as a luminance or achromatic channel. This may be used as is or preferably it is sharpened using a high pass filter. Normally this separation will be black. However, it may be a surrogate color for black, particularly if only two or three separations are made. Object detail in all other separations (chrominance separations) is degraded, usually by a low pass filter such as a Gaussian blur. The printed image farmed when the separations are recombined in a conventional manner is remarkably visually tolerant of misregistration of the various ink planes in the image.

Abstract: An inertial training apparatus (2) and method utilized for strength training and rehabilitation strength training muscles. The inertial training apparatus and method allows for generation of rotational inertial forces by accelerating a mass by a concentric contraction of a muscle and converting the rotational inertial forces of the mass into a substantially equivalent eccentric action of the muscle used to decelerate the mass. A tether (42) is coupled between the mass and a body part to transfer the tension forces provided by the body part to accelerate the mass and, in turn, those provided by the body part to decelerate the mass. A swing arm (18) and a mass on the swing arm are rotatably mounted to a frame to preferably allow for low-friction rotation about a substantially vertical axis. A primary tether guide (48) is preferably coupled to the frame and can be positioned near an intermediate rotational position.

Inventor: ISHIHAMA AKIRA
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing virus RNA polymerases of RNA viruses, more specifically, virus RNA  polymerases of RNA viruses free of virus genomic RNA.   The methods described in this invention includes the procedures for preparation of cDNAs for the genes for the component proteins of RNA polymerase of an RNA virus, incorporation of the cDNA into baculovirus genome to construct recombinant virus, and the infection of insect cells with the recombinant virus to express RNA polymerase. In this method, it is recommended that all species of the recombinant viruses, each of which is designed for expressing each of the above--mentioned component protein genes of RNA polymerase, are coinfected into insect cells. Thus, cDNA is prepared for each of the component proteins of RNA polymerase and incorporated into baculovirus genome to construct recombinant virus for independently expressing the corresponding protein. In addition, the RNA viruses described above include influenza virus especially. In this method, RNA polymerase may be tagged to facilitate the subsequent purification. Furthermore, the tagged RNA polymerase described above may be purified using an adsorbent to trap the RNA polymerase at the tag. Another subject matter of this invention is to artificially prepare a complex of the component proteins of RNA polymerase of an RNA  virus, or, in other words, to prepare RNA polymerase free from RNA virus genomic RNA. The RNA viruses described here include influenza virus, and the component proteins of RNA polymerase include PA, PB1 and PB2.
