Abstract: A method and an apparatus for retrofitting and extending or upgrading an existing customer account servicing system to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. A mainframe computer or host (16) contains customer or potential customer account records. A plurality of operator terminals (12) allow the operators to converse with the called or calling party and make changes to the customer account information via a data terminal (12a4). A system controller (11), trunk interface unit (10), operator terminals (12) and cross-point switch or PBX (13) provide a retrofit to an existing system, a mainframe computer (16), to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. The system controller (11) and terminals (12) use the same command and data format structure as that already in use by the existing system and software or programs of mainframe (16). The system controller (11) is transparent to the operation of the mainframe (16) and the operator terminsla (12) and allows the system to be upgraded without the necessity of purchasing different software or programs for the mainframe (16). This invention is useful with both new and previously existing operator terminals (12). The system controller (11) monitors and handles both incoming and outgoing calls via the trunk interface units (10) and, when appropriate, causes the cross-point switch or PBX (13) to connect a selected trunk line (T) with an appropriate available operator terminal (12) and causes the customer account record to be displayed on the screen of the operator terminal.

Abstract: The prosthesis is configured like an anti-return valve arranged preferably in the area where the oesophagus and the hiatal hernia meet. Said valve is comprised of a tubular part (7) associated with an annular fixing element (8). The tubular part flatens progressively to form two joined lips (9, 10). It is possible to form said valve with a wall thickness which increases from the free end of the lips (9 and 10) towards the annular fixing part (8) in order to avoid an easy returning under the effect of the surging pressure. During the passage of the alimentary bolus, the lips (9, 10) are spaced apart and joined again owing to their natural elasticity. A metal wire (16) embedded in the annular fixing part (8) is used for the radiologic marking.

Abstract: A dual channel helical scan recording system (30) includes a rotating drum (36) having sets of heads (W1, W2, R1, R2) mounted on its peripheral surface (56). A set of write heads (W1, W2) is situated on an opposite side of the drum (36) from a set of read heads (R1, R2). The write heads (W1, W2) simultaneously write two adjacent tracks (T1, T2), which are read for verification 180 degrees later by corresponding read heads (R1, R2). The heads (W1, W2, R1, R2) are strategically mounted on the drum (36) with respect to angular and axial placement, and have selected head widths and azimuthal angles. Should a block of data (317) written to tape (32) be determined, during readback, to be a bad block, that bad block is subsequently rewritten on the tape (32) in the course of writing good blocks and amongst other good blocks. The rewritten block is recorded at a row position on the tape which is sufficiently displaced from the row position of a previous writing to avoid media defects occurring on the tape. In addition, a block written by a first write head (W1) and perceived as having been written as a bad block must be written by a second write head (W2) before that block is rewritten a predetermined number of times.

Abstract: Biologically active reagents are prepared from particles of copolymers having polyoxyalkylene side chains, each side chain having a molecular weight of at least 88. The reagents are prepared by covalently attaching biologically active substances, for example antibodies, to the particles, directly or indirectly through reactive groups on the particle surface. These reagents are used to advantage in analytical elements and methods for the detection of specific binding ligands (such as immunological species) and immunoassays, and in purification methods as affinity chromatography reagents. Adsorption of undesirable proteins on the particles of the reagents was considerably reduced because of the specific composition of the particles.
