Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sound processing, where sound is attenuated by measuring it and by producing with an actuator a sound field of opposite sign in view of the original sound field. A desired value signal (I) is supplied to the actuator which reproduces the signal. To the actuator is attached a sensor, measuring sound pressure, and the difference of the sensor signal (B) and the desired value signal (I) is applied as high gain feedback to the actuator. As a consequence, sound not pertaining to the desired value signal (I) can be attenuated in a simple manner, and sound in accordance with the desired value signal (I) can be produced simultaneously with the same apparatus.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively determining LDL cholesterol, including the steps of adding to serum a surfactant selected from among polyoxyethylenealkylene phenyl ethers and polyoxyethylenealkylene tribenzylphenyl ethers and a cholesterol-assaying enzyme reagent so as to preferentially react cholestrols in high density- and very low density-cholesterols among lipoproteins, and subsequently determining the amount of cholesterol that reacts thereafter. This method can eliminate the necessity for pretreatments such as centrifugation and electrophoresis, enables the quantitative determination to be conducted in an efficient, simple manner, and can be applied to various automatic analyzers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Um Teile (2) wie Nocken, Zahnräder, Scheiben usw. drehfest auf einer hohlen Welle (1) zu befestigen, wird vorgeschlagen, die Welle nach Auffädeln der mit geringem Fügespiel (3) ausgestatteten Teile durch Hindurchziehen eines Aufweitedornes (5) durch die Welle aufzuweiten und damit zumindest Kraftschluß zwischen der Welle und den Teilen herzustellen. Eine besonders feste Verbindung kann dann erreicht werden, wenn die Bohrung der Teile mit einer Profilierung versehen ist, in die das durch den Aufweitedorn verdrängte Material der Welle gedrückt wird. Das Aufweiten der Welle kann in Stufen erfolgen, indem ein Aufweitedorn mit gestufter Zunahme seines wirksamen Durchmessers oder aufeinanderfolgend mehrere Aufweitdorne mit jeweils größerem wirksamen Durchmesser verwendet werden. Der Anstieg der auf dem Dorn (5) ausgeübten Zugkraft kann erfasst werden und als Indikator dafür dienen, ob der angestrebte feste Sitz der Teile (2) erreicht worden ist.

Abstract: A network-based telecommunications system and method that restricts the dial-in access to a resource of a subscriber to only a communication from an authorized user of the resource. A switch receives a communication directed to a subscriber from a calling party. Prior to connecting the communication to the terminating equipment associated with the subscriber, the switch requests processing information. An authentication unit determines whether the calling party is an authorized user by checking whether a passcode provided by the calling party corresponds to a passcode being held by the authentication unit. If the passcode corresponds, then the authentication unit identifies the calling party as an authorized user, and the communication then may be connected to the terminating equipment of the subscriber. If the passcode fails to correspond, then the authentication unit fails to identify the calling party as an authorized user. The communication is not connected to the terminating equipment of the subscriber.

A product receptacle is secured to the carriage and displaceable to a bagging station. A bag engaging member is connected to the carriage and a product arresting member is displaceable for abutting relationship with an end of a product at the bagging station. The bag engaging means engages an open end of a bag at a forward end of the displacement stroke adjacent the bagging station and withdrawing the open end of the bag over the product which is maintained substantially stationary by the product arresting means during a reverse stroke of a carriage whereby to insert the product in the bag and discharge the bagged product. The drive member is comprised of a straight thrust rod of magnetic material which constitutes a stator of the linear motor. The pair of coils are connected to the carriage and energized for displacing the carriage along the thrust rod to cause displacement of the carriage.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for transporting drugs and macromolecules across biological membranes are disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention pertains to a method for enhancing transport of a selected compound across a biological membrane, wherein a biological membrane is contacted with a conjugate containing a biologically active agent that is covalently attached to a transport polymer. In a preferred embodiment, the polymer consists of from 6 to 25 subunits, at least 50% of which contain a guanidino or amidino sidechain moiety. The polymer is effective to impart to the attached agent a rate of trans-membrane transport across a biological membrane that is greater than the rate of trans-membrane transport of the agent in non-conjugated form.

Abstract: A casual agent pool is provided to facilitate the management of a light load of inbound calls to a calling center where many employees (agents) may optionally answer those calls as part of their work duties. Agents may transact other business while logged onto the pool, and are alerted to the presence of an incoming call by, for example, the telephone ringing or a computer screen message. Casual agents may then choose whether or not to take an inbound call, depending on their circumstances. The system thus optimizes call agent resources in lightly-loaded applications having many potential agents available, allowing agents to transact other business while being potentially available to take calls, thereby obviating the need to manage a dedicated agent pool.

Abstract: Hybrid power relay used for opening or closing electrical circuits, including an electrical contact having a mechanical movement, a semiconductor component in parallel with the electrical contact, and a control unit which in response to a logic input level causes the electrical contact to close (open) and the semiconductor component to be turned on.

The control signal prevents the semiconductor component from being turned on after the predetermined period if the electrical contact fails to close so that the semiconductor component is undamaged. Also, the control unit generates a contact-break signal for opening the electrical contact, and turning on the semiconductor component before the electrical contact has opened by means of a control signal which terminates at the end of a second predetermined period after the electrical contact has opened.
