Abstract: Corrosion-resistant Cu (alloy) pipe has a protective coating made by forming a modified surface, a few monolayers thick, by incorporating Cl, P, Si and/or S. These elements are chemically bound to or adsorbed on the surface. Their total concn. from the surface to the substrate, first increases from 0.1-4 at. % (rest O, C and alloy constituents) to a max. of 5-50 at. % in a distance of ca. 10 nm and then decreases to the level of unavoidable impurities at the substrate. The concn. pattern, ci of individual elements within the layer is given by equation (I), ci = the concn. of element i, ci0 = the concn. of element i at the surface of the layer, ci(max) = the concn. max. at the depth xic(max), x = the depth of penetration, xic(max) = the local max. concn. of element i, si = a constant depending on additive and element. Also claimed is a method of making the corrosion-resistant pipe. The coating is produced by adding additives contg. the element(s) to the lubricant used during the drawing process and reaction by thermal activation at various temps.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rubber tire composed of carbon black reinforced rubber carcass and having a rubber tread which is quantitatively reinforced with silica and which, in turn, has a thin, integral, rubber outer cap on its outer surface which contains a quantitative amount of carbon black. 
     In one aspect, said outer cap, sometimes referred to herein as an outer top cap, extends across the outer surface of the tread which is normally intended to be ground contacting and in an alternative aspect, the outer top cap extends only over the outer portion, namely the peripheral edges, of said tread surface intended to be ground contacting. 
     The outer, carbon black reinforced, rubber tread top cap connects with at least one other carbon black reinforced rubber component of the tire in a manner to provide a path of reduced electrical resistance from said outer tread top cap to the bead portion of the tire carcass and, therefore, such a path from the vehicle to the road surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method for rapidly making an electrode for electrical discharge machining. According to the invention, a stereolithography process is used to make a cured resin model (22) of the electrode and having a network of interconnected supporting members defining the shape of the electrode and leaving channels (28) between the supporting members to drain away uncured resin from the model. After the model is fully cured and the uncured resin drained away, a slurry mixture (50) of graphite and resin is infiltrated into the voids of the model. The resin is then heat cured so that the resin is burned away leaving the electrode of pure carbon. Alternatively, the graphite and resin mixture can be cured sufficiently to harden and then an electrically conductive metalized coating is applied on the outer surface.

Abstract: The image processing technique includes analysis of a number of points within the image. This includes determination of a vector value from components formed by characteristic values derived from the intensity distribution in this particular part of the image surrounding a given point. A classification system is then used to determine the probability that the point associated with the vector values corresponds to a cancer within this or a related region of the image. Following this analysis, those points having a probability above a certain threshold are labelled in order to define groups which may indicate the presence of a cancer. The image is then divided into two regions corresponding to the potentially cancerous and the normal regions of the image.

Abstract: A fluid interconnect for coupling an ink supply (20) to an ink-jet printer includes a fluid outlet (28) and a fluid inlet (42). The fluid outlet (28) has a housing (99) with one end in fluid communication with the ink supply (20) and the other end sealed by a septum 104. A sealing member (102) is positioned within the housing and is biased against the septum (104) by a spring (100) to form a second seal. The fluid inlet (42) includes a hollow needle (162) having one end in fluid communication with the print head and the other end defining a hole (168). A sliding collar (170) surrounds the needle and is biased into a sealing position in which it seals the hole (168). The fluid inlet (42) and fluid outlet (28) can be coupled by pressing them together. During the coupling process, the needle (162) pierces the septum (104) to enter the housing (99) and press the sealing member (102) away from the septum (104). This allows fluid to flow from the ink supply (20), into the housing (99), passed the sealing member (102), into the hole (168) in the needle (162) and to the print head. Upon decoupling, the needle (162) is withdrawn to seal the septum (104). In addition, the sealing member (102) is biased back into place against the septum (104) to reform the second seal and the sliding collar (170) is again biased into its sealing position.

Abstract: A genetically disabled mutant virus has a genome which is defective in respect of a selected gene that is essential for the production of infectious new virus particles, and which carries heterologous genetic material encoding an immunomodulatory protein such as GM-CSF, Il-2 or others, such that the mutant virus can infect normal host cells and cause expression of immunomodulatory protein, but the mutant virus cannot cause production of infectious new virus particles except when the virus infects recombinant complementing host cells expressing a gene that provides the function of the essential viral gene; the site of insertion of the heterologous genetic material encoding the immunomodulatory protein preferably being at the site of the defect in the selected viral gene. Uses include prophylactic and therapeutic use in generating an immune response in a subject treated therewith; use in the preparation of an immunogen such as a vaccine for use in tumour therapy; use in the in-vitro expansion of (e.g. virus-specific) cytotoxic T cells; and therapeutic or prophylactic use in corrective gene therapy.
