Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method and a device for treating surfaces. A surface area is exposed to defined pressure and temperature conditions and at least component of said area can simultaneously be controlled by means of an enlarging optical system. Figure 6 shows a simple embodiment of the inventive device. A pressure chamber (5) is arranged between the optical system (4) and the surface area (1) and is at least transparent in the direction of the beam path. A component of said pressure chamber faces the surface area, embraces the front wall and is moveable in order to transmit pressure. The inventive device can be advantageously fixed on an x/y table. An electronic control loop which can process signals of a pressure sensor (13) into actuating signals for pressure valves (8, 9) that are provided in the pressure medium line (7) is indicated by a few strokes. The pressure medium line (7) runs into the pressure chamber (5) via connecting sleeves (10). The front wall can consist of two flexible plastic films (19a, 19b) that are fixed by means of two sealing rings (21a, 21b) and can be automatically moved for functional reasons. Auxiliary elements can be introduced between the two films and via the connecting sleeves (22a, 22b). A ring lamp (14) can serve for illuminating the surface area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using a secondary refrigerant to precool and liquefy a primary refrigerant, then vaporizing and expanding the primary refrigerant to cool a cold tip of a cryosurgical instrument for ablation of biological tissue, such as cardiovascular tissue, in particular endocardiac tissue and tissue inside a cardiac blood vessel. The secondary refrigerant has a critical temperature above the critical temperature of the primary refrigerant, and a cooling temperature below the critical temperature of the primary refrigerant, thereby facilitating the use of the precooling step to provide liquid primary refrigerant in an operating room environment in which the primary refrigerant could not otherwise be provided in the liquid phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for thermally treating granular solid matter for the purpose of carrying out endothermic reactions. CO2 and/or water is removed from the solid matter in a reactor by burning fuel to generate a combustion gas in the reactor, vortexing the solid matter with the combustion gases in the reactor, using hot exhaust gas from the reactor to pre-heat the solid matter and removing the solid matter from the reactor. The reactor used is an approximately cylindrical, horizontal cyclone with an approximately horizontal axis of symmetry and vortex. Fuel, solid matter and gases are supplied in an inlet zone of the reactor while a rotation vortex is formed in said inlet zone and solid matter and hot gas are removed from an outlet zone of the reactor.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing nodes in a network is described that utilizes an interactive convergence technique. The technique utilizes communications protocol IEEE 1394 to broadcast each node's clock value to the other nodes in the network. Each node applies a voting algorithm to the set of broadcasted clock values to determine a voted clock value and each node's clock is set to that voted clock value. When a node's clock value is close in value to another node, those nodes are considered to be synchronized. The set of clock values to be used to determine the voted clock value consists of those nodes that are synchronized. The technique is implemented on hardware separate from the node's hardware and can be implemented on a field programmable gate array.

Abstract: The invention provides a wide range of methods and compositions for detecting and treating breast cancer in an individual. Specifically, the invention provides target breast cancer-associated proteins, which permit a rapid detection, preferably before metastases occur, of breast cancer. The target breast cancer-associated protein may be detected, for example, by reacting the sample with a labeled binding moiety, for example, a labeled antibody capable of binding specifically to the protein. The invention also provides kits useful in the detection of breast cancer in an individual. In addition, the invention provides methods utilizing the breast cancer-associated proteins either as targets for treating breast cancer or as indicators for monitoring the efficacy of such a treatment.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a tissue product with improved flushability. Specifically, the incorporation of both a temporary wet strength agent and an alkaline reagent into the tissue product results in the tissue product having high initial wet tensile strength and a high rate of wet tensile loss. The high rate of wet tensile loss is caused by the high pH of the alkaline reagent that is incorporated during the dry end of a tissue manufacturing process. The temporary wet strength agent is added in the wet end of a tissue manufacturing process. In certain embodiments of the present invention, glyoxylated polyacrylamide may be used as the temporary wet strength agent, while the alkaline reagent may be in dry form or may be encapsulated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or health condition of a patient (38) by connecting an internet-enabled wireless web device ('WWD') (12) to a health monitoring device (11) which may be a medical device or other health related device such as an exercise machine. The WWD (12) may be connected to the health monitoring device directly by a wired connection (42) to a generic input/output device port of the WWD (12) using an optional adaptor if necessary. Alternatively, the WWD (12) may be wirelessly connected (16) to the health-monitoring device, such as via an infrared or radio frequency connection, including using protocols such as Bluetooth or 802.11. The wireless connection (16) may also employ an adaptor if necessary. The user may also input data to the WWD (12) manually, such as by a keypad, keyboard, stylus, or optionally by voice command (36). The health related data is transmitted from the WWD (12) to a server (37) using standard internet protocols. The server (37) calculates a response using a software program which may include an algorithm or artificial intelligence system, and may further provide for review by a physician or health specialist. The user may interact with the server (37). For example, the server (37) transmits a response to the WWD (12), and the user may answer the response or provide other information.

Abstract: A glare protection device for a welding protective mask includes an active electro-optical protective filter ( 2 ) and an electronic circuit ( 10 ). An UV-detector (UVD), which serves as an optical sensor, detects the welding light and, via an evaluation circuit ( 10.1 ), generates a signal (sin) for controlling of the protective filter ( 2 ). The signal corresponds to the detected UV intensity. The UV-detector includes a fluorescent layer (F) with an absorption in the UV range and an emission in the long-wave range corresponding to the spectral sensitivity of an assigned Si-photo detector (SD). This results in a simple and safe controlling of the protective filter, which is uninfluenced by the effects of extraneous light.

Abstract: A closed-loop system can maintain a pre-set cut length of a material as the material is cut and placed on a web. The system has the ability to measure the actual cut length, compare the average actual cut length to a target cut length, and to adjust web tension or feed roll speed to achieve the target cut length. Actual cut length variation is thereby reduced. Furthermore, short term cut length variation is further reduced by minimizing the tension of the web just prior to the material being cut.

Abstract: A system for directing an antenna for transmission over a two-way satellite network is disclosed. A transceiver is coupled to the antenna; the transceiver transmits and receives signals over the two-way satellite network. A user terminal is coupled to the transceiver and executes an antenna pointing program. The program instructs a user to initially point the antenna to a beacon satellite using predefined pointing values based upon the location of the antenna. The program receives new antenna pointing parameters that are downloaded from a hub over a temporary channel that is established via the beacon satellite. The program displays the new antenna pointing parameters and instructs the user to selectively re-point the antenna based upon the downloaded new antenna pointing parameters.
