Abstract: A method for the enhanced melt-textured growth of superconducting crystals is disclosed for a sample (20) having a first material capable of exhibiting superconducting properties. The sample (20) is heated above a peritectic temperature of the first material, cooled below the peritectic temperature, and is subsequently subjected to a plurality of temperature spikes in which the sample is rapidly reheated above the peritectic temperature and recooled below the peritectic temperature to produce a superconducting crystalline structure substantially free of secondary nucleations (30). The resulting crystal is a superconducting crystalline structure comprising a plurality of bands (40) formed in succession around a seed material (10). Each band (40) has a non-uniform microstructure from an inner portion to an outer portion of the band.

Abstract: Apparatus is described for separating particulate material from an airstream established by sucton. The apparatus comprises a primary separation chamber (12) in which particles are separated from the airstream therein by centrifugal force, a main particle collecting region (14) into which the particles separated by the primary separation (12) can fall under gravity, and a secondary separation chamber (90) downstream of the primary chamber (12), to which air and particles not separated in the first chamber (12), pass. An air outlet in the secondary chamber allows air substantially free of particles to exit. An intermediate particle collecting region is associated with the secondary chamber (90), in which particles collect after separation by centrifugal force from the air flowing through the secondary chamber (90). A valve (41) is provided between the intermediate particle collecting region and a second particle collecting region, which is closed while air flows through the apparatus but which is opened when airflow ceases, to allow particles in the intermediate region to pass into the second region. The second collecting region may be separate from the main particle collecting region (14), or may comprise the second particle collecting region. The valve (41) may be operable manually, electrically, or in response to the flow of air through the apparatus so as to become closed when the air flow reaches and exceeds a given rate of flow, and opens when air fluid flow falls below a given rate of flow. A baffle may be provided downstream of the valve to reduce the tendency for material beyond the valve to be sucked back through the valve while the air flow is being established. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a driving device, comprising at least one body (4), (11) which may be put in an alternating rotary motion by the rotation of at least one cam (3A), (3B); (16A), (16B), the said body (4), (11) being provided to be rotatable on a shaft (1), which itself is provided to perform a continuous rotary motion. The said body (4), (11) may be mounted on bearings on the drive shaft (1) or on a shaft that may be driven by the drive shaft (1). Because of the continuous rotation of the said shaft (1), the bearings of this body will be subjected to a uniform load along their circumference and consequently will be likewise subjected to a uniform wear. This will enhance the life span of the bearing. Because of which the driving device will operate more precisely and it may be carried out in a more compact form. <??>This invention likewise relates to a machine provided with such a driving device, more particularly to a textile machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, mobile station and base station in a soft handover cellular communications system. A problem addressed is the complexity imposed by a soft handover combination node in the network for combining packets received from one mobile station over parallel diversity links. The combination node is a problem with respect to the network complexity, transmission capacity and retransmission delays. The present invention solves the problem by selecting on a packet-by-packet basis one of an active set base stations for forwarding the packet further uplink. Thereby no combination node in the network is needed. The mobile stations select the base station after transmitting a packet or prior to transmitting it. The selection is based on measures of the radio link qualities made during transmission of the relevant packet or made prior to its transmission.

Abstract: A method is described for measuring the thickness of an optical disc and determining whether the disc is a CD or a DVD. The optical lens is caused to move towards the disc with a substantially constant speed, with the optical beam switched on, and the focal error signal (FES) is analyzed. By timing the S-shaped curve ( 62 ), the actual value of said speed is determined. By timing different reflections ( 72, 73 ) from the disc, taking into account the measured speed, the thickness of the disc is determined. An important advantage is that the outcome of the thickness measurement is substantially independent from the actual value of said speed, and thus independent from the actual sensitivity of the actuator.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve (22) having an internal support frame (50) with a continuous, undulating leaflet frame defined therein. The leaflet frame has three cusp regions (30) positioned at an inflow end intermediate three commissure regions (32) positioned at an outflow end thereof. The leaflet frame may be cloth (54) covered and flexible leaflets (52) attached thereto form occluding surfaces of the valve. The support frame further includes three cusp positioners (42) rigidly fixed with respect to the leaflet frame and located at the outflow end of the support frame intermediate each pair of adjacent commissure regions. The valve is compressible so as to be delivered in a minimally invasive manner through a catheter to the site of implantation. Upon expulsion from catheter, the valve expands into contact with the surrounding native valve annulus and is anchored in place without the use of sutures. In the aortic valve position, the cusp positioners angle outward into contact with the sinus cavities, and compress the native leaflets if they are not excised, or the aortic wall if they are. The support frame may be formed from a flat sheet of Nitinol that is bent into a three dimensional configuration and heat set. A holder (150) having spring-like arms connected to inflow projections of the valve may be used to deliver, reposition and re-collapse the valve, if necessary.
