Abstract: An improved epilating device is capable of effectively removing
the hairs at different skin portions of the human body. The epilating
device includes a single housing (10) which is shaped to be grasped by the
hand of a user and which includes a drive source (12). The housing carries
a first epilation module (100) provided at its top with a first plucking head (30)
which is driven by the drive source to effect the plucking of the body
hairs. The first plucking head has a length (L1) defining therealong a first
epilation zone (P1). Also carried on the housing is a second epilation
module (200) provided at its top with a second plucking head (230) which is driven
commonly by the drive source (12) to effect plucking of the body hairs. The
second plucking head has a length (L2) defining therealong a second epilation
zone (P2). The first and second epilation modules are shaped respectively to
have individual top ends of different external dimensions along the
lengths of the first and second plucking heads and to have the first and
second epilation zones of different lengths. Thus, the first (100) and second (200)
epilation module can be selected depending upon the intended skin
portion for optimum hair plucking at that portion.

Abstract: A master/slave system is used for performing a surgical
procedure such as catheterization of cardiac or
peripheral vasculature. Movements of catheters or similar
tools within a patient are remotely controlled by a
surgeon, and the surgeon receives haptic or tactile
feedback caused by the movement of the tools within the
patient. The system employs a master actuator (50) with
cylindrical controls and a slave actuator (52) that engages
the tools. The master actuator (50) and slave actuator (52) are
electrically coupled to electrical interface circuitry (56) by
drive signals (58) and sense signals (60). A fluid system (62) is
coupled to the slave actuator (52) by fluid-carrying tubes (64) for
the delivery of contrast and other solutions to be
injected into the vasculature for improved imaging and
also to pressurize the balloon on a balloon catheter. The
master and slave actuators (50,52) contain sensors that sense
translation and rotation of the controls and tools with
respect to their longitudinal axes, and provide sense
signals (60) indicative of these motions to the interface
circuitry (56). The master and slave actuators also contain
motors respectively engaging the controls and tools to
cause translational and rotational movement of these
components in response to the drive signals (58) generated by
the interface circuitry (56). The interface circuitry (56) contains
a processor executing a master/slave control program via
which the relative positions of each control and the
corresponding tool are made to track each other. The
control program can optionally implement force scaling,
position scaling, tremor reduction, and other features to
enhance the system's performance.

The material is directed, substantially as a plug flow, at a velocity below 5 m/s (e.g. 0.1-1 m/s) through an apparatus formed by a flow channel provided with heat exchange surfaces. The flow of the material is throttled at a throttling point by a more than 30% reduction in the cross-sectional area of the channel. After throttling, the material is discharged from the throttling point in such a manner that another portion of the material contacts the heat exchange surfaces.

Title: Flat material strip and method for producing fibre composite workpieces with such flat material strips
Inventor: KOCIAN FRANK
IPC: B29C70/22
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a flat material strip used for the production of fibre composite workpieces by arranging same on shaping surfaces, comprising reinforcing fibres (40, 42) which are arranged in a defined orientation to a longitudinal direction of the flat material strip, are positioned next to each other in a strip surface and together form a mat (38). To improve said flat material strip in such a way that it can be easily draped, i.e. that it can be easily laid out on complex surfaces, for example doubly curved surfaces, the invention provides for the mat (38) to have reinforcing fibres (40, 42) which can be moved towards each other within the mat in such a way that the mat can be stretched in limited localized areas in a longitudinal direction and that the flat material strip in an area (20) extending in a longitudinal direction across part of the width of said flat material strip comprises a substantially inelastic fibre (50) extending in the longitudinal direction which aids in the placement of the mat.

Abstract: The most important aspect of a vehicle braking system which functions according to the brake by wire principle is that the braking requirements of the driver are detected quickly and reliably. Fulfilling this aim depends to a large extent on the pedal sensor system associated with the brake pedal, with its measuring devices for detecting the values which characterise the operation of the brake pedal. According to the invention, at least two measuring devices (4, 5) are provided for detecting the braking requirements of the driver. Said measuring devices detect the same characteristic value for the operation of the brake pedal, e.g., brake pedal-force, brake-pedal travel or brake-pedal angle. These braking requirement signals are compared to a signal of a third measuring device (6) in order to monitor the braking requirement measuring devices (4, 5).

Abstract: A method for performing separation assays of biochemical samples includes computing a quality metric based on peak data produced during the separation run. The quality metric is the basis for selecting a subsequent step in the assay, including whether to re-run the separation when the quality metric indicates a low quality separation run. In a preferred embodiment, the quality metric is computed based on a peak resolution metric indicative of the peak resolution of the sample peaks in the data and a signal-to-noise ratio of the data. When a co-migrating standard is included in the separation run, the quality metric is further based on the degree of migration linearity of the reference peaks produced by the standard. The method was reduced to practice in separations to size and sort DNA fragments in high-throughput capillary array electrophoresis separations.

Dans une variante, ce procédé utilisant un catalyseur de niobium peut consister à faire réagir un ester avec de l'oxygène, en présence d'un catalyseur de niobium, de manière à former un acide carboxylique α,β-insaturé, l'ester pouvant être, dans ce cas, un ester méthylique. Quel que soit le cas, on peut utiliser de l'oxyde de niobium comme catalyseur de niobium, cet oxyde de niobium étant présent sur un support. Ce support peut se présenter sous la forme d'un oxyde choisi dans le groupe composé par l'oxyde de silicium, l'oxyde d'aluminium, l'oxyde de titane, et des mélanges de ceux-ci.

Abstract: A large-capacity CDMA transmission system that can realize
communication with a moving unit such as an automobile,
transmitting more quantity of information than the conventional
system without increasing the occupied band width, using the same
or narrower frequency band width. 
     This system assumes the code division multiple access
(CDMA) transmission system for simultaneous multiple
communication, which performs phase modulation on a carrier signal
while maintaining a phase of the carrier signal in a predetermined
period at a predetermined value, so as to generate a primary
modulated wave, and then, multiplies the obtained primary
modulated wave by a spread code sequence. On the transmitting
side, a differential coding phase modulation (DPSK) is employed to
generate a primary modulated wave. On the other hand, on the
receiving side, a quasi-synchronous detection and difference
operation are utilized to detect the phase difference between the last
symbol interval and the current symbol interval, and the detected
phase difference is given as the information of the current symbol
interval.
