Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomers with high strength and elasticity combined with good coloring properties are obtained by melt-compounding mixtures of propylene homo- and/or co-polymers and elastomeric olefin co- and/or ter- polymers with diene monomers and radical initiators in presence of auxiliary substances. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), with high strength and elasticity and good pigmentability, in which the embedded elastomer has an average particle size of 0.05-5 (preferably 0.1-1) microns, are obtained by reacting, in the melt, mixtures of: (A) 20-80 (preferably 40-60) wt% propylene homo- and/or co-polymers, and (B) 80-20 (preferably 60-40) wt% elastomeric 2-8C olefin co- and/or ter-polymers with (based on total polymer) (C) 0.10-4.0 (preferably 0.2-1.5) wt% volatile 4-7C dienes, and (D) 0-4.0 (preferably 0.2-1.5) wt% acyl peroxides, alkyl peroxides, hydroperoxides, peroxycarbonates, peresters, ketone peroxides, peroxy-ketals and/or azo compounds as radical initiators, with the addition of: (E) 0.01-40 wt% auxiliary substances before and/or after the reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved apparatus
for forming injection molded plastic articles having an
inner wall portion. The apparatus includes a mold cavity
portion (112) and a mold core portion (118) defining a
cavity space (124) in the shape of the plastic article to be
formed. The apparatus further includes at least two hot
runner nozzles (132,132 ' ,132 '' ) for injecting molten plastic
material into the cavity space. The nozzles are preferably
offset to outer portions of the mold core portion so as to
provide an increased space (A ' ) in the mold core portion in
which cooling conduits (142), inlets and the like can be
placed to increase the cooling capability of the mold core
portion. The offsetting of the nozzles also provides the
mold core portion with increased strength. Each of the
nozzles communicates with an inner wall portion of the
cavity space via a hook-shaped passageway (138,138 ' ,138 '' )
and an inside gate (134,134 ' ,134 '' ). Additionally, each of
the nozzles has a metal portion (152,152 ' ,152 '' ) for
maintaining plastic material in the hook-shaped passageway
in molten condition.

Abstract: A self-arbitrating and self-routing ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) switch has a switching fabric (10)
consisting of rows (15) and columns (16) of logic groups
(18). The rows (15) of logic groups have addressing logic
for routing data packets received at input ports (6) to the
columns (16) of logic groups. Arbitration logic in each of
the columns (16) of logic groups route data packets
received from the addressing logic to their specified
output ports (8). The arbitration logic forming each
column (16) of logic groups resolves conflicts between data
packets contending for an identical output port (8).
Additional logic in each column (16) of logic groups
signals input ports (6) when data packets are successfully
received by their specified output ports (8) . Data packets
which lose arbitration during a switch cycle are assigned
a higher priority and retransmitted to the switching fabric
(10) during the next switch cycle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a feed-forward
amplifier having a predistortion circuit to provide a
sufficient compensation for a variation in temperature.
When a predistortion circuit 3 is used to improve
distortion in a main amplifier 6, the circuit 3, a variable
attenuator 4, a variable phase shifter 5, and a main
amplifier 6 are located in this order and a control circuit
19 controls the variable attenuator 4 and variable phase
shifter 5 so that a carrier component, that is, an input
signal, in a detected distortion component decreases to
minimum. In this manner, when the gain of the main
amplifier 6 varies due to a variation in temperature, the
preceding variable attenuator 4 and variable phase shifter
5 compensate for the variation of the gain. The input
level of the predistortion circuit 3, however, is not
affected, so the relationship between the output levels of
the predistortion circuit 3 and main amplifier 6 remain
unchanged compared to the amount prior to the temperature
variation, thereby providing the same compensation effect.

Abstract: A distributed architecture for control of printing
presses includes a job-control computer facilitating at least
selection of printing jobs, and a separate image-control
computer or computers managing operation of the various imaging
devices. The job-control and image-control computers interact
over a computer network, which can range from a single LAN to
the Internet; typically, the image-control computer is
physically associated with the press, while the job-control
computer may be proximate or remote. The job-control computer
may contain on-board storage for retaining multiple printing
jobs, or the system may instead include a server computer,
connected to and accessible over the network, that serves as a
central storage facility. The job-control computer may allow
the operator to perform various functions and adjustments
relating to final printing quality, and which may affect the
job data, printing-press operation, or both. The job-control
computer may also afford the operator control over ink
regulation, typically via a separate dedicated computer. The
architecture of the invention is capable of supporting a
plurality of printing presses under the common control of one
or more job-control computers. In this way, a single job-control
computer may interact with and direct the operation of
remotely located printing presses, each of which is served by a
separate image-control computer.

Abstract: Apparatus for improving the performance of a controlled
impedance contactor, wherein an extended core connector
(ECC) is incorporated within the housing of the contactor.
The introduction of an ECC within the impedance controlled
contactor offers several advantages, including: a 50 ohm
signal path is provided from the signal source (tester) all
the way to the contact with a minimum of transitions, and,
no routing substrate is required. That is, the impedance
controlled contactor can be mounted on a conventional load
board (DUT board, BID, etc.) without compromise of RF
fidelity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method to produce steel from a ferrous
material, by using one furnace divided into, at least, two vessels which
are connected to each other at least by ducts for the off-gases and
ducts for the melted metal. The vessels have a growing capacity starting
from the first one (11); the material to be cast is divided into a first charge

of the furnace, the charge of the material in the first vessel
of the furnace is melted using electric energy and/or combustion
energy; the off-gases from the first vessel of the furnace are
sent to the second vessel of the furnace in order to heat the charge
of material in said second vessel, and the off-gases in the second
vessel are sent to the first vessel to heat the material in this
first vessel; the metal melted in the first vessel is poured in
the second vessel of the furnace.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a CCR2 mutant, designated 'CCR2-64I'. 'CCR2-64I' is a CCR2 gene sequence which has a nucleotide substitution (a G to A substitution) at position 190 (counting from the ATG start codon) such that the valine found position 64 in the wild-type CCR2 amino acid sequence is replaced by an isoleucine. CCR2 is a C-C chemokine receptor and has been implicated as a co-receptor for HIV-1. It has been discovered that the presence of the CCR2-64I allele correlates with a postponement of AIDS outcomes, and that infected individuals who have the CCR2-64I allele are at reduced risk for progression from HIV-1 infection to the development of clinical AIDS and death. Isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding CCR2-64I and the establishment of cell lines that express CCR2-64I provides valuable tools for continuing research on HIV infection. Diagnostic methods for analysis of the allelic frequency of CCR2 wild-type and 64I genes are provided. In addition, antibodies which bind to CCR2-64I, CCR2-64I variants, and CCR2 binding agents represent potential anti-HIV agents.
