Abstract: The harness cord guide (40) consists of a bar with a series of holes through it for the cords (20), at least one of the holes (41) lying at an oblique angle to the bar's main plane (P40). The oblique direction (X41) of the hole is such that the angle between it and the upper portion (23) of the cord is smaller than the angle between the cord and a perpendicular to the bar. In addition, the oblique direction is basically orthogonal to the bisector of the upper (23) and lower (24) parts of the harness cord as it passes between a Jacquard mechanism and the guide bar, which has a series of holes lying at different angles.

Abstract: Display device is based on layer break up or layer displacement having at least two different states, in which one of the fluids, e.g., oil in a first state, adjoins at least a first support plate and, in the second state, the other fluid at least partly adjoins the first support plate. In one embodiment, a picture element corresponds to a substantially closed space and, in the first state, the other fluid layer substantially completely adjoins both support plates and is divided in two sub-layers. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to use lower voltages to make displacement occur. On the other hand, this opens the opportunity to color displays.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assembling and working on an add-on part (15) of a vehicle body (12), which comprises at least one inner panel part (11) and at least one outer panel part (10). According to the invention, machinery and equipment are used for placing the inner panel part (11) and/or the outer panel part (10) on the body in the position subsequently provided for the add-on part (15). Afterwards, a painting of at least the outer panel part (10) or of the inner panel part (11) ensues in at least one step and/or the mounting of an additional part on the inner panel part and/or outer panel part ensues before the inner panel part and the outer panel part are joined to one another to create the add-on part. The inventive method is advantageous in that, for example, the inner panel part (11) and the outer panel part (10) of a vehicle door or the like can be painted differently and that the installation of additional parts can ensue before the final assembly of the vehicle door whereby offering a significantly better accessibility for mounting these built-in parts.

Abstract: A cap for use with a dermal tissue lancing device (that includes a housing and a lancet movable with respect to the housing) includes a proximal end for engaging with the housing, a distal end for engaging with dermal tissue and an opening for a portion of the lancet to pass through. The distal end of the cap includes portions for engaging dermal tissue. These portions are resiliently deformable such that, when the cap contacts and is urged towards dermal tissue, the portions deform resiliently, engaging the dermal tissue and approaching theretogether. A process for the collection of a fluid sample (e.g., blood) from dermal tissue includes providing a dermal tissue lancing device with a housing, a cap and a lancet that is moveable with respect to the housing and the cap. The cap includes a proximal end for engaging with the housing, a distal end for engaging with dermal tissue, and an opening for a portion of the lancet to pass through. The distal end of the cap includes resiliently deformable portions for engaging dermal tissue. Next, the cap is contacted with the dermal tissue (e.g., dermal tissue of a fingertip, limb, or abdomen) such that the portions engage the dermal tissue. Subsequently, the cap is urged towards the dermal tissue such that at least first and second portions deform resiliently and approach theretogether to create a bulge in the dermal tissue. The bulge is then lanced to create a puncture from which a fluid sample is collected.

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated according to an input signal for producing relevant signal points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points are divided into signal point groups to which data of the first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal point group. A difference in the transmission error rate between first and second data streams is developed by shifting the signal points to other positions in the space diagram expressed at least in the polar coordinate system. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter into, low and high, frequency band components which are designated as a first and a second data streams respectively. Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only the low frequency band component or both the low and high frequency band components, depending on its capability. Furthermore, a communication system based on an OFDM system is utilized for data transmission of a plurality of subchannels, wherein the subchannels are differentiated by changing the length of a guard time slot or a carrier wave interval of a symbol transmission time slot, or changing the transmission electric power of the carrier.
