Patent EP-1310335-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIRSCHBURGER WOLFGANG
IPC: B25F3/00
Filed: 2002-11-11
Abstract: A tool guard attachment (10) for a rotary hand tool of the type which has a
housing with a nose portion from which an output shaft protrudes and which typically has
a mechanism for holding tool bits or implements is disclosed. The tool guard attachment (10),
which mounts to the nose portion of the rotary hand tool, has a guard housing (12) with an
enlarged guard portion (18) at the outer end thereof which provides a shield or guard for a flat
circular tool implement (20) that is mounted on an arbor shaft assembly (22) that in turn is
connected by a U-joint (64) to a drive shaft assembly (24) at an acute angle relative to the arbor
shaft assembly (22). The drive shaft assembly (24) engages a driver nut or the like that is mounted
to the output shaft of the rotary hand tool. The angle between the drive shaft and the
arbor shaft is offset about 10 to 30° so that the rotary hand tool itself does not interfere
with the cutting blade (20) engaging a work surface at a perpendicular angle during operation.
A lower guard (34) that is retractable in the enlarged guard portion (18) of the housing is normally
biased away from the enlarged guard portion (18) for protecting a user from injury.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to methods for removing adherent
materials, for example, residues, scale, contaminants, fouling, precipitates, and the
like objectional materials from various internal surfaces of fluid transport or
delivery systems and parts thereof. In particular, the method employs an
improved media comprising core/shell particles. The media can be propelled
against or along the surface by a fluid carrier to remove the unwanted surface
material. In one embodiment, the media may be propelled by a liquid along a
surface, such as the interior walls of a pipe, to remove undesirable adherent
materials.

Abstract: The procedure includes calculating discrete transformations (1,2,4) of the segment of video data (11,12) and concatenated segments of video data (13). This is followed by calculating (5) a block artefact level (17) from the contents of the transformed video segments (14,15,16). <??>The procedure provides detection of block artefacts (10) from video coded data which is then decoded using a block coding method. The procedure includes the stages of calculating a first discrete transformation (1) of a first segment of video data (11), and calculating a second discrete transformation (2) of a second segment of video data (12), the second segment being adjacent to the first. A further calculation is performed for a discrete transformation (4) of a concatenated segment of video data (13) corresponding to the concatenation (3) of the first and second segments. There is also a stage of calculating (5) a block artefact level (17) from the contents of the first and second transformed video segments (14,15) and from the concatenated video segment (16).

Abstract: A rollover condition is detected responsive to the comparison of a figure of merit (FOM)
with a threshold
 
( FOM Thr       Δt M      ), wherein the threshold is given generally as a function of a
period of time commencing with a time of inception determined from one or both of a
measure of lateral acceleration ( A' y   ) and a measure of angular velocity (ω'   x   ). The measures
of lateral acceleration ( A' y   ) and angular velocity (ω'   x   ) are filtered, and are compensated to
remove offset errors. In one embodiment, the figure of merit (FOM) comprises a measure
function (R) that incorporates a damping term ( R ( n M   -1)·(1- Δt M  / τ)) and a product term
( F *· KE *· PE *). The product term comprises a force measure (F*) and a kinetic energy
measure (KE*), wherein the force measure (F*) is responsive to the measure of lateral
acceleration ( A' y   ), and the kinetic energy measure (KE*) is responsive to the measure of
angular velocity (ω'   x   ). The product term may further comprise a potential energy measure
(PE*) that is responsive to a measure of roll angle ( M ).

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and corresponding method for measuring a
pseudorange from a ranging receiver to a beacon (such as a
GPS satellite). It determines the time of transmission of a
target ranging signal fragment (for which the difference in
time between transmission and reception is essentially the
pseudorange) even in poor signal conditions when the
navigation data of the ranging signal cannot be accurately
decoded by the ranging receiver. It is based on making
either an estimate of the start time for the particular
information element of the ranging signal (usually a
navigation data bit) beginning just before the target ranging
signal fragment (if the quality of the ranging signal allows
such an estimate to be made), or (in any case) based on
making an estimate of the time corresponding to the start of
the code epoch of the ranging signal that just precedes the
target ranging signal fragment.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la régulation de l'expression de l'activité des lymphocytes cytotoxiques anti-tumeur (CTL) au moyen d'un facteur inhibant la migration des macrophages (MIF). Dans un modèle de souris mettant en oeuvre la tumeur EL4, des splénocytes cultivés provenant de souris sensibilisées à la tumeur sécrètent des taux élevés de facteur MIF, consécutivement à une stimulation d'antigène in vitro. Des splénocytes parallèles traités au moyen de mAb (anticorps monoclonaux) anti-MIF neutralisants ont présenté une augmentation importante au niveau de la réponse des CTL contre des cellules tumorales, comparativement à des cultures témoins traitées au moyen de mAb, avec une expression élevée de IFN η. L'histologie de tumeurs provenant d'animaux traités au moyen d'un anti-MIF a présenté des augmentations au niveau de l'infiltration des deux lymphocytes T CD4?+ et CD8+¿, ainsi que des cellules tumorales apoptotiques, conformément à l'augmentation observée de l'activité des CTL in vivo par des anti-MIF, précédemment associée à une expression accrue de la chaîne commune η¿c? du récepteur IL-2 induisant la survie des lymphocytes T CD8?+¿. Des cellules CD8+ de souris porteuses de tumeur traitées au moyen d'un anti-MIF ont présenté une migration accrue en tumeurs des souris témoins.

Abstract: A metal interconnect structure and method for making the same provides an alloying element layer (38) that lines a via (36) in a dielectric layer (34). The alloying element layer (38) is therefore inserted at a critical electromigration failure site, i.e., at the fast diffusion site below the via (36) in the underlying metal (30). Once the copper fill is performed in the via (36), an annealing step allows the alloying element to go into solid solution with the copper (30) in and around the via (36). The solid solution of the alloying element and copper at the bottom of the via (36) in the copper line (30) improves the electromigration reliability of the structure.
