Abstract: The unit injection-moulds plastic onto e.g. glass, using at least two moulds. Sealing edges of the moulds press tightly together on closure, or onto opposite faces of the other mould. The mould may include slides sealing to edges of the mould sections. It may also be possible to insert a workpiece into the mould. In this case e.g. a glass sheet is inlaid for e.g. edge-framing by injection of plastic. Mould separators for this purpose face each other and seal against the surfaces of the workpiece. This forms the bordering, sealed frame section cavity, ready for injection. The novel feature is that the sealing edges (2, 3) are partially- or fully-adjustable, parallel to the direction of closure of the mould (1).

Abstract: An object to be analyzed for corrosion and corrosion
prevention is divided into a plurality of adjacent regions of
plural types by a dividing plane, with one of the adjacent regions
being referred to as an attentional region with a boundary as the
dividing plane and the other as a non-attentional region with a
boundary as the dividing plane. An initial current density or
an initial potential is imparted to each element of the boundary
of the non-attentional region to effect a boundary element
analysis for determining a relationship between a potential and
a current density in each the element. A potential distribution
and a current density distribution in the attentional region in
its entirety are determined, using the relationship between the
potential and the current density in each the element of the
boundary of the non-attentional region as a boundary condition
for the attentional region. An element analysis is effected on
the non-attentional region to determine a potential distribution
and a current density distribution in the non-attentional region
in its entirety, using the relationship between the potential and
the current density in each element of the boundary of the
attentional region as a boundary condition for the non-attentional
region. Therefore, a potential distribution and a
current density distribution across the regions can continuously
be analyzed.

Abstract: An image which represents a 3-D space virtually using a
perspective method is displayed on a display, and an image of
an information inputting person is picked up by a plurality of
video cameras from different directions. While the
information inputting person is pointing at an arbitrary
position within a virtual 3-D space represented by the
displayed image, a reference point which corresponds to the
back of the information inputting person and a characteristic
point which corresponds to a finger tip are respectively
extracted from a plurality of images which are picked up by
each of the video cameras, and the 3-D coordinates of these
points are determined. The direction in which the position
pointed to by the information inputting person is disposed
within the virtual 3-D space is determined on the basis of the
direction from the reference point to the characteristic point,
and the distance between the information inputting person and
the position pointed to by the information inputting person
within the virtual 3-D space is determined on the basis of the
distance between the reference point and the characteristic
point. As a result, the 3-D coordinates of the position pointed
to by the information inputting person within the virtual 3-D
space can be determined.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des protéines d'immunoglobuline de fusion (fIg) comprenant un ou plusieurs épitopes hétérologues associés à des maladies pour lesquelles la réponse immunitaire est négative, lesdites protéines étant utiles pour induire une tolérance auxdits épitopes. Les épitopes gp120 du HIV-1 associés à l'intérieur d'un cadre à une chaîne lourde (H) d'Ig sont des produits de synthèse utiles pour induire une tolérance au HIV, spécifique aux épitopes. Le traitement d'un sujet avec ce type de produit de synthèse, ou bien avec des cellules lymphoïdes ou hématopoïétiques exprimant ou sécrétant ces molécules fIg, induit une tolérance immunologique spécifique aux épitopes considérés. En empêchant la production d'anticorps dirigés contre les épitopes gp120 déterminés, cette tolérance peut prévenir ou inhiber l'apoptose de 'voisinage' sur les cellules T hôtes non infectées ayant effectué une liaison, à leurs molécules CD4 de surface, avec la protéine gp 120 du HIV et subissant ensuite une réticulation sous l'effet d'anticorps parasites anti-gp120. Cela donne pour les cellules T en question une amorce à l'apoptose, en présence des antigènes qui les activent. On utilise de préférence les épitopes gp120 correspondant à des épitopes de lymphocites B non neutralisants ou certains épitopes de lymphocytes T auxiliaires pour élaborer les molécules fIg. Outre les chaînes H de fIg et les molécules d'Ig complètes, l'invention concerne l'ADN codant les chaînes H en question et les cellules transformées par ce type d'ADN.

Abstract: The invention concerns an impact compactor (10) which comprises one or more out-of-round compactor masses (14). The masses are moved rotationally over a soil surface, at an angular velocity suitable for normal operation, to apply periodic compaction blows to the soil surface. This is achieved by primary drive means. In the case of a towed impact compactor, the primary drive means is typically a tractor. The impact compactor (10) includes an auxiliary drive which is arranged to operate automatically, in response to a reduction of the angular velocity of the compactor masses below the angular velocity suitable for normal operation, to apply an auxiliary rotary drive that restores their angular velocity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a training weapon system for a portable recoilless anti-armour weapon of the type which comprises a sub-calibre insert barrel (1) arranged in the bore of the launching barrel of the full-calibre weapon. In order to improve the accuracy of the system and make it more safe as well as less expensive when compared to previous systems of this type, the sub-calibre insert barrel (1) has a rifled bore to make the training projectile spin stabilized. The forward aligning member (5) for centering the insert barrel (1) is engaging the ridges of the rifles in the rifled portion of the barrel in the recoilless full calibre weapon. By such an arrangement it can be avoided that length tolerances give rise to undesired radial deviations which might result in a mis-alignment of the insert barrel (1) within the gun bore. This could happen with the forward aligning member engaging the conical, smooth-bored firing chamber in the barrel.
