Abstract: A method and apparatus for space dyeing a plurality of strands of yarns (Y) which are fed over a series of dye applicator rolls (56). Each roll is rotated in a partly submerged condition in a dye pan (58) containing a different color. Above and offset relative to each dye applicator roll is a yarn pattern roll (82) which carries a number of slats (100) in a circumferential array extending beyond the periphery of the pattern rolls for contacting the yarn strands. The slats sequentially engage and deflect the yarn strands onto the surface of the respective dye applicator rolls. The slats may be positioned in selected slots (98) in the pattern rolls to determine the pattern of color applied to the yarn. Variable speed drives (66, 92) rotate the dye applicator rolls and the pattern rolls independently of each other to effect the spacing of the colors and the amount of dye received by the yarn strands.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing medical articles, such as catheters, tubes, containers, shaped parts and the like, made of polymer materials. These articles have a special provision for increasing the blood compatibility when they come into contact with blood or fluids which are similar to blood. The characteristic feature of the invention is that a defined quantity of an additive is deposited on the individual granular particles of the polymer material before they are thermoplasticised. This additive is soluble in the polymer melt but is immiscible with the polymer in the vitreous state. The granular particles treated in this way are then thermoplasticised and are processed to give the end product.

Abstract: A physiologically active substance fixed sheet (1) (hereinafter the "sheet") comprising a water-insoluble base material (2) and a physiologically active substance fixed layer (3) comprised of a water-soluble resin and a physiologically active substance fixed through the water-soluble resin, formed on the surface of the base material all over or in part. The sheet has advantages that, when it is immersed in an aqueous medium such as a buffer solution, an aqueous solution of the physiologically active substance can be obtained in a short time, and also any constituents of the base material do not mix into the aqueous solution. Thus, the sheet can be used for various examinations including clinical examination. Moreover, in this sheet, the physiologically active substance is fixed on the base material through the water-soluble resin, and hence any containers for holding physiologically active substances are unnecessary and the substances can be weighed with more ease when used.

Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor device (10) with a radiation-emitting semiconductor diode (3), preferably a diode laser (3), is particularly suitable as a radiation source in optical read and write systems such as bar code readers, laser printers, and optical disc systems. The diode (3) has one or two exit surfaces for radiation (R) which are provided with coatings (4). In such a device (10) it is found that a deposit rich in carbon is formed on the coating (4) of the laser (3), with the result that the output of the diode (3) fluctuates. The deposit may be avoided in that organic impurities are avoided or a selection is carried out in that respect. This is cumbersome and expensive. 
     A device (10) according to the invention is characterized in that the diode (3) is present within an envelope (20) which is hermetically sealed off from the outer world (40), and a gaseous oxidizing compound (30) is present inside the envelope (20). It was surprisingly found that a gaseous oxidizing compound (30), preferably oxygen, counteracts or removes a deposit rich in carbon on the coating (4). Since the device (10) is hermetically sealed off from the outer world (40), degradation owing to water vapour or other aggressive gases is counteracted. The device (10) preferably contains dry and clean nitrogen to which at least approximately 0.2 vol.% oxygen (30) has been added. Particularly good results were obtained with a high-power laser (3) and a laser (3) which emits between approximately 0.6 and 0.9 µm.

Abstract: An ink printing system including a device (8) for drying the ink jet images printed on the surface of a substrate (2) by the system including a plurality of nozzles (14) that direct a small volume of air onto the printed image at as high a velocity as possible without disturbing the wet image. The air so delivered while it must be dry, does not have to be heated to effectively dry the image. However, the drying time can, if desired, be reduced by increasing the air temperature. The use of high velocity air creates what is known as "skin effect" to dry the ink where the outer surface of the ink is quickly dried.

Abstract: Proposed is an improvement in the process for forming a superhard carbonaceous coating film on various articles by the plasma-induced CVD method using an apparatus in which microwaves generated in an oscillator are introduced into the CVD chamber through a waveguide duct partitioned from the CVD chamber by a gas shield. In the apparatus used according to the invention, a microwave-barrier diaphragm having an orifice of a limited open area is provided between the gas shield in the waveguide duct and the CVD chamber to form a plasma-generating zone between the gas shield and the microwave-barrier diaphragm so that the intensity of the microwaves directly entering the CVD chamber is so limited that the carbonaceous coating film deposited on the substrate surface can be imparted with greatly increased luster and clarity along with an advantage that the substrate article is subjected to less thermal damage by virtue of the decreased temperature elevation by virtue of the limited intensity of the microwaves reaching the substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for improved speech comprehension in artificial translation of one language to a second language. The arrangement comprises an analysis unit which carries out an analysis of duration and fundamental tone of the speech in the first language. A prosody-interpreting unit determines, on the basis of the analysis and language-characteristic information, prosody-dependent information in the first speech which is used by a prosody-generating unit for the second language for controlling the speech synthesis. A speech synthesis element thus produces stresses in the speech translated in the second language which, from a language point of view, correspond to stresses in the first language.
