Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing puncture sealing
compositions from a tyre, characterised by allowing
air pressure to flow out of the tyre via the valve,
removing the tyre valve, introducing a hose into the
tyre through the valve bore until the introduced

Abstract: An input high frequency signal passes through a PIN
diode (D1) having a variable high frequency resistance and
is output from an AGC circuit. The PIN diode (D1) is
connected so as to be biased forward between an AGC signal
level and a fixed voltage level (such as ground potential).
A bias resistor (R3) and a coil (L1) are connected in
series between a node on the output side of the PIN diode
and a node (N4) supplied with the ground potential. More
specifically, the resistor and the coil are inserted in
parallel between the transmission path for high frequency
signals and the ground potential.

Abstract: A device of testing the durability of a surface under accelerated conditions
is disclosed. The device provides for testing the surface, such as paint markings
from a paint, under simulated environmental conditions which are akin to those
experienced by the paint markings applied on the working substrates, such as
road surfaces. The device includes one or more wear wheels which roll
preferably in a circular motion over a test pattern of the paint markings applied
over a test substrate which is similar to a working substrate, such as a road
surface. The wear wheel rolls under pressure through a desired number of
rotations over the test pattern of paint markings. The pressure is adjusted to
simulate the pressure exerted on the actual traffic paint markings on the road
surfaces by vehicles driving thereon. 
     The path of the rolling wear wheels allows the user to simultaneously
compare the durability of several experimental paints by exposing each paint
marking from the various experimental paints to the same speed and pressure
that results in the same degree of wear. 
     The path of the rolling wear wheels allows the user to simultaneously
expose paint markings from several experimental paints to the same degree of
wear under the same speed and pressure.

Abstract: The invention comprises a vial closure device, a sample vial incorporating such a vial closure device, and certain methods of using such a vial and closure device. The vial and closure device are intended to contain a gaseous sample or a headspace gas present above a liquid or solid material, so that the gaseous sample or headspace gas can be conveniently analysed, typically by means of an autosampler connected to an analytical instrument such as a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometric methods of determining the isotopic composition of hydrogen and oxygen comprised in aqueous samples contained in vials fitted with such closure devices are disclosed. The vial closure device comprises a hollow body member (3) locatable in the mouth of a vial (1), and a first seal (4) for making a substantially gas-tight seal between the exterior of said hollow body member and said vial. The hollow body member comprises an aperture (7) and an aperture closing means (8) for closing said aperture when required, and a second seal (5), through which a gas sampling means may be inserted. The aperture closing means is operable to open the aperture by the insertion of a gas sampling means (11) through the second seal and is operable to close the aperture when the gas sampling means is withdrawn.

Abstract: In an artificial intelligence system for image
recognition, a global image of an object is input from a
camera or other optical pick-up device (10), and is
processed in a global image processing means (14), which
performs analytical processing on the global image by
extracting global characteristics of the input image and
evaluating consistency of the extracted global
characteristics. Simultaneously, the image data is
processed in a local image processing means (15) which
undertakes analytical processing on a plurality of local
images defining local portions of the image to be
recognized. The local image processing means (15) is
constructed by plural modules (21), each further defined by
sub-modules (R0,R1,R2), which conduct respective analyses
corresponding to local images having characteristics useful
in recognizing the global image, wherein each local
processor (15) extracts characteristics of an input image
and evaluates consistency of the extracted characteristic
with the object to be recognized. Importantly, the global
image processing means (14) receives inputs from the local
modules (21), and deactivates functions of local modules
(21) which are inconsistent with the global
characteristics, while activating and promoting functions
of local modules (21) which are consistent with the global
characteristics. Through top-down control from the global
image processor (14), as well as inter-module signals
between respective local processing modules (21), since
inconsistent processes are quickly discovered, and
deactivated by deactivation signals, it becomes possible to
reduce the computational burden while still enabling image
recognition in a reduced time period.

Abstract: A method of compressing a source ( e.g. , a video signal, a still image, an audio signal,

and more evenly affects the fidelity of the source than techniques in the prior art that change the
quantization step size at various points in the compression process. An illustrative embodiment
of the present invention involves transforming a source ( e.g.,  a video frame, audio sample,  etc. )
into  m  coefficients, in well-known fashion, wherein each of the  m  coefficients is represented by
a known number of bits. Then, only  n  of the  m  coefficients are used for transmission or
storage, as appropriate, where the  n  coefficients are more perceptually significant than the  m-n 
coefficients not used.

The inventive method is characterised in that the lipid precursor contains one or more 3-alkanols, 4-alkanols or an alkanone with a chain length from 6 to 30 carbon atoms or mixtures of said alkanols/alkanone. Furthermore, according to a variant of the aforementioned method for producing sophoroselipids of formula (I), wherein R<1>, R<2>, R<3> and n have the meanings aforementioned and R<4> represents -CH3, -CH2CH3 or -CH2CH2CH3, the culture medium is maintained during fermentation under a reduced oxygen concentration.
