Abstract: The method consists in evaluating the shift applied to a certain number x of successive lines of the encryption cycle, then in looking up in a table the unique encryption code which, at this position of the cycle, gives the sequence found for the x shift values. In order to analyse the shift in each of these x lines, the method consists in firstly evaluating the relative shift of each of the x-1 lines in relation to the first, by studying the relative shift of a given brightness transition present in all of these x lines and which, before encryption, reflects a detail vertical to the picture, then, secondly, in evaluating the absolute shift of each of these x lines by comparison with a line from the x to which a minimum shift has been applied on encryption.

Abstract: An antibody reactive specifically with cells to be analyzed is attached to micro-capsules. The micro-capsules contain a fluorescent substance, a dye, a chelate complex, or a precursor thereof. 
     After a blood sample is smeared on a slide for microscope, cells to be analyzed in the smeared sample are immunologically bound to the antibody carrying the micro-capsules. Alternatively, instead of employing this method, it is also possible to bind cells to be analyzed in the sample to the antibody carrying the micro-capsules and then smear the sample on a slide for microscope. 
     Then, the slide preparation is observed under an optical microscope to detect micro-capsules combined with the cells to be analyzed. The micro-capsules are observed in an unbroken state and counted as the number of the corresponding cells to be analyzed.

Abstract: A method of calibrating reflectance measuring devices, such as spectrophotometers, that incorporate automatic gain or sensitivity setting capability. According to the method, offset reflectance and reflectance of a second­ary reflectance standard for several wavelengths are calculated and stored in a memory of a reflec­tance measuring device. A secondary standard is mounted in the reflectance measuring device and reflectances at a selected wavelengths from the secondary standard are read prior to measurement of the reflectance of the test sample. The stored offset reflectance and secondary reflectance for the operational wavelength are used to calculate true reflectance of the test sample.

Abstract: A thermographic printing machine has a powder applicator, a heating stage, and a cooling stage wherein the heating stage has a paper transport path which is sinuous and passes on both sides of a heater, the paper passing around rollers which define the ends of the transport path. The rollers at one end do not touch the printed surface of the paper and a guide shell prevents buckling. The machine can run much faster than any previous thermographic machine because of the compactness of the heater stage. The machine may have a re-folding device for continuous fan-folded paper, wherein the paper is drawn through the machine by a drive mechanism at the exit end of the machine prior to the re-folding stage, and wherein an adjustable linkage between the drive mechanism and the re-folding device ensures re- folding of fan-fold paper of different sheet lengths.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating compound shapes in optical surfaces needed to accommodate variable magnification, off-axis projection, reflection from diverse surfaces, reflector relay, intensity pattern requirements and other complex optical transform functions. The present invention finds particular application in automotive rearview mirrors (either inside or outside mounted) where it is desired to view wide angles and in automotive headlights where it is desired to illuminate specified targets with a desired or required intensity pattern. The present invention permits the realization of mirrors of such capability by providing a variable magnification mirror. The surface generation capabilities permit controlled magnification changes that nevertheless are still image forming and typically avoid the human eye focussing difficulties normally associated with variable magnification mirrors. The present invention includes a computer driven reflector, design system which permits the designer to see the field of view, ray tracings, reflected beam intensity pattern and other data pertinent to a variable magnification mirror from entered mirror specifications. The effect of changes in specifications can be rapidly determined and a final design achieved through one or more such reiterations. The system further determines machine tool motional controls for grinding a surface corresponding to the entered mirror specifications. A machining center having a high speed bit, a EDM tip and capable of producing the surface with optical quality precision is a further part of the invention. The   capability of the invention in producing irregular optical shapes for these applications is utilized for the production of mirrors that accomplish complex focussing functions for use in off-axis projection mirrors, relay mirrors, and headlamp reflector mirrors. According to the invention, optical systems capable of accomplishing such complex focussing can be realized with a single reflector.
