Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a method of conducting a reduced length search along a search path. A node which would otherwise occur between a previous and a following node in the search path is eliminated, and information is stored as to whether, had said eliminated node been present, the search would have proceeded to the following node. During the search, a search argument is compared with the stored information, and the search effectively progresses from the previous node directly to the following node if the comparison is positive. In preferred embodiments, some nodes provide result values for the search, and a node is eliminated only if its presence would not affect the result value for the search. In another aspect, the invention features a method of conducting a two mode search of reduced length. For a first mode of the search, nodes along a search path are provided, at least some of the nodes including one or more pointers pointing to other nodes. A search argument comprising a series of search segments is provided, some values of segments of the argument ccrresponding to nodes along the search path, some other values of the segments relating to a second mode of the search. Indicators associated with nodes are provided, each indicator indicating the segments corresponding to the second mode. The search path is searched by processing successive search segments by inspecting the indicator associated with each node, and proceeding to the second search mode if the indicator indicates that the segment relates to the second mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel cytokine protein called Cytotoxic Lymphocyte Maturation Factor (CLMF) which is produced and synthesized by a human B lymphoblastoid cell line. CLMF synergistically induces in the presence of low concentrations of IL-2 the cytolytic activity of Lymphokine Activated Killer (LAK) cells. CLMF is also capable of stimulating T-cell growth. The present invention also relates to cloned genes coding for CLMF proteins and derivatives thereof, to recombinant vectors comprising a polynucleotide encoding a CLMF protein, to microorganisms transformed with the said recombinant vectors, to antibodies directed to the said proteins as well as to processes for the preparation of the said proteins, vectors and antibodies. Furthermore the present invention relates to methods for stimulating LAK cells, T-cells or Natural Killer Cells using the said CLMF protein.

Abstract: A pad including thermal insulation and heat sink areas. The pad includes a plurality of layers of metal foil forming a stack with the layers arranged one above the other, the stack including at least one heat sink area and at least one insulating area adjacent to the heat sink area, the layers providing better heat conduction in the vertical direction at the heat sink area than at the insulating area. At least one of the layers includes a plurality of embossments therein separating the one layer from an adjacent one of the layers in the insulating area. The pad can include a single insulating area surrounded by a heat sink area and a black coating can be provided on selected portions of the layers to improve heat radiating characteristics of the pad. For instance, the heat sink area can be coated with the black coating to radiate heat away from the pad at a desired location. The pad is particularly useful in shielding a heat sensitive component on one side of the pad from a heat source on the other side of the pad. The pad can be covered with a prescored and/or embossed metal sheet coated on one or both sides with adhesive. The sheet can also be used by itself for fixturing. The sheet can be secured to an object by heating to cause the adhesive to adhere to the object. The prescoring can be perforations in the sheet and the embossments can be in a diamond shaped cross-hatching configuration. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The In-Car Coffee Maker allows the driver of a motor vehicle to brew a cup or other single portion of brewed beverage without taking attention from the road. The device is stabilized by an anchored base. There is a rotatable holder clamp to level the coffee maker on an uneven floor or other surface of a motor vehicle, and an interlock mechanism prevents commencement of the brewing cycle unless the drinking cup is applied in proper position adjacent the coffee maker. A showerhead configuration above a brewing chamber allows heated water to dispersably contact a prepackaged filter containing beverage precursor particles. A thermostat control causes automatic shut-off when a single portion has brewed. A water reservoir is removable and resealable. Splash guard features are provided in the drinking cup for safety.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring the behavior over time of a distributed system (51). Time-stamped data descriptive of events at one subsystem (53) are placed (15) into a local buffer (59). The subsystem is notified (21) of the time when a trap condition occurs at another subsystem (63). Data having a time-stamp within a certain interval of the occurrence of the trap condition are archived (23) to provide a history of the system for later analysis. Time is determined by a local clock (57, 67) in each subsystem. These clocks are synchronized (25) to ensure accurate correlation between events at different subsystems. Trap conditions are categorized (31) and data descriptive of subsystem states are classified (35) to facilitate selective notification (33) of one or more other subsystems, and selective retention (37) of the data, depending on which category of trap condition has occurred and which class of data has been collected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring cardiac output based upon phase shift between an input signal and a temperature signal indicative of change in blood temperature leaving the heart. In a preferred embodiment of a cardiac output monitoring system (10), a catheter (14) is provided with an electrical resistance heater (22). An electrical current having a sinusoidal wave form with a period of from 30 to 60 seconds is applied to the heater, causing power to be dissipated into the blood within a patient's heart (12). A temperature sensor (24) disposed near the catheter produces a signal indicative of the temperature of blood leaving the heart. The temperature signal and the signal corresponding to the electrical power dissipated in the heater are filtered at a frequency  omega corresponding to the frequency of the applied electrical current. The amplitude of the input power, the amplitude of the temperature signal, and their phase difference are used in calculating cardiac output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An elongated sanitary napkin (10) has deflectable longitudinal side edges (34,36) formed by an edge or peripheral seal (28) along the opposite sides of an absorbent (18). A garment attachment panel (14,16) is secured to the underside of each side edge. A fixed portion (50) of the panel (14) is bonded flat against the side edge so that a free portion (52) of the panel (14), extending from the fixed portion (50), is directed inward and downward. During use, the panels (14,16) are fastened together beneath an undergarment crotch portion by hook (58) and loop (60) type fastener. Fastener (58,60) and panels (14,16) are sized so that when fastened the panels (14,16) exert a pull on the side edges, controlling their deflection and, for example, preventing them from folding in over the absorbent (18). The garment attachment panels (14,16) confine the undergarment crotch portion under the absorbent (18) so that, for example, an elasticized edge of the crotch portion is prevented from pulling up and onto the absorbent (18). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Video signal compression apparatus includes a memory for storing two fields of image data and providing fields of image data separated by one frame intervals. Image data from corresponding fields of successive frames are subtracted to generate field differences. The field differences are accumulated over respective field intervals, and the sum is compared against a predetermined value. If a sum of differences over a field is less than the predetermined value, the most recent field is considered to be redundant and may be excised. After respective fields are excised, frames of video signal are composed from the remaining fields. The field types (e.g., odd or even) of the fields in the memory are determined, and the data is accessed from the respective fields in memory such that data from odd and even fields occupy odd and even lines in the composed frames respectively. Flags are associated with composed frames to indicate which fields contain data associated with excised fields, and which field of the composed frames should be displayed first.
