Patent EP-1020703-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JUVINALL JOHN W
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: A method and apparatus of measuring wall thickness of hollow glass articles (12), such
as molded glass containers having interior and exterior wall surfaces, includes the steps of measuring
intensity of radiation emitted by the article at a first wavelength (at 18) at which intensity varies as
a function of both temperature at the surfaces and wall thickness between the surfaces, and at a
second wavelength (at 24) at which intensity varies as a function of temperature at the surface
substantially independent of wall thickness between the surfaces. Since the first intensity measurement
is a function of both wall thickness and temperature, while the second intensity measurement is a
function solely of surface temperature, wall thickness between the surfaces can determined (at 26)
as a combined function of the first and second intensity measurements.

Abstract: A subscriber unit of a time division multiple access
(TDMA) radiotelephone system is, from a power consumption
standpoint, reconfigured in each time slot of a TDMA frame
to a power consumption tessellation in which subscriber
unit circuit components not needed for communication signal
processing in that time slot are powered down, and other
components are powered up. 
     Some circuit components are powered down by switching
their power supply circuits. In order to minimize the
extent of circuitry that must be provided to distribute
power consumption control signals, other techniques (which
utilize circuitry provided for other purposes), such as
clock frequency control or power down commands, also are
utilized to modify controlled circuit component power
consumption without actually controlling power supply
circuits. Loop connection length between the subscriber
unit and the subscriber ' s telephone set, or other terminal
equipment, is limited to a length which is much less than
the length of a radio link on which the subscriber unit
operates. Programmable ring frequency logic controls the
frequency of a ringing signal generator, and a high
frequency ring control signal is switched on and off in the
cadence of ringing operation. Also an expansion header is
provided to enable serving plural subscriber loop circuits
with the same radio equipment for reducing per line power
consumption.

Abstract: The invention includes a multichip integrated circuit package having at
least two chips electrically isolated from one another. Within the
multichip integrated circuit package is a slug that is directly coupled to
at least two chips, without any intervening insulating layers. The slug is
physically separated at an appropriate place between the two chips, so
that electrical interference between the two chips is effectively
eliminated. Making the integrated circuit package begins with directly
attaching the two chips to a heat dissipating slug. The heat dissipating
slug can have a pre-cut groove running between the chips. Once the
chips are attached to the slug, the slug is molded into the multichip
integrated circuit package. Then, the slug is physically separated into
two pieces from the underside, the separation running along the pre-cut
groove. Usually the slug would be separated by being cut by a saw.

Abstract: A printer that corrects for polygon phasing errors
includes a raster output scanner (27), a moving
photoreceptor (10), a page sensor (304) for sensing the
position of an image area, a start-of-scan sensor (312) for
sensing the start of scan, a light valve array (216) having
a plurality of electrically controlled light valves for
selectively passing light, and a system controller (101)
that controls the light valve. The system controller (101)
initially selects one of the light valves. When the page
sensor (304) senses the beginning of a page the system
controller (101) starts selecting sequential light valves
at a controlled rate. After a start-of-scan occurs the
system controller (101) stops sequencing the light valves.
The light valve that passed light when the start-of-scan
occurred continues to pass light. Beneficially, the system
controller monitors the photoreceptor (10) motion. If the
photoreceptor motion changes the system controller (101)
then selects a light valve that moves the scan line toward
the proper position.

closely spaced apart relation to a rigid ceramic substrate (16) by a glass annulus
(18) mounted in a housing (28) having a port (28a) for fluid whose pressure is to
be sensed by being received on an outer face (12a) of the diaphragm. An
electronic circuit (36) is mounted in a chamber (20a) formed between a
connector (20) and an outer face (12b) of the substrate. An electrically
conductive coating (14b) is placed on the outer face (12a) of the diaphragm and
an annular electrically conductive gasket (30) is disposed between the
diaphragm and the bottom floor (28c) of the housing surrounding a fluid inlet
(28a) in order to effect an electrical path between the conductive layer on the
diaphragm and the housing. An O-ring (32) of polymer compatible with the fluid
being sensed is disposed within the annulus of the conductive gasket to serve as
a fluid barrier in selected applications. In other applications, particularly those in
which the pressure of the sensed fluid is low, the conductive gasket serves both
as an electrically conductive member and as a fluid seal with the O-ring being
eliminated.

Inventor: ELLIS JOHN ALBERT
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: Porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2) is a recently identified agent wherein the potential spectrum of PCV-2-associated disease has been expanded by evidence of vertical and sexual transmission and associated reproductive failure in swine populations. PCV-2 was isolated from a litter of aborted piglets from a farm experiencing late term abortions and stillbirths. Severe, diffuse myocarditis was present in one piglet associated with extensive immunohistochemical staining for PCV-2 antigen. Variable amounts of PCV-2 antigen were also present in liver, lung and kidney of multiple fetuses. Inoculation of female pigs with a composition including an immunogen from PCV-2 or an epitope of interest from such an immunogen or with a vector expressing such an immunogen or epitope of interest prior to breeding, such as within the first five weeks of life, or prior to the perinatal period, or repeatedly over a lifetime, or during pregnancy, such as between the 6th and 8th and/or the 10th and 13th weeks of gestation, can prevent myocarditis, abortion and intrauterine infection associated with porcine circovirus-2. In addition, innoculation of male and/or female pigs with the aforementioned compositions can be carried out to prevent transmission of PCV-2 from male to female (or vice versa) during mating. Thus, the invention involves methods and compositions for preventing myocarditis, abortion and intrauterine infection associated with porcine circovirus-2.
