Abstract: An angular velocity sensor for detecting angular velocity components about three axes with high response is provided. A weight body (40) carries out a circular movement along a circular orbit (41) within the XY-plane with the origin O being as a center. The weight body (40) is supported so that it can be moved with a predetermined degree of freedom within a sensor casing. A Coriolis force Fco exerted in the Z-axis direction to the weight body (40) is detected when the weight body (40) passes through the X-axis at the point Px and an angular velocity ωx about the X-axis is obtained based on the detected force. Further, a Coriolis force Fco exerted in the Z-axis direction to the weight body (40) is detected when the weight body (40) passes through the Y-axis at the point Py and an angular velocity ωy about the Y-axis is obtained based on the detected force. In addition, a force exerted in the X-axis direction to the weight body (40) at the point Px is detected and an angular velocity ωz about the Z-axis is obtained based on the detected force by eliminating a centrifugal force.

Abstract: The device adjusts the length of a flexible, mechanical remote operating pull-cord (30), and has tubular and hollow rod-shaped components (1,2) which can slide inside one another. Each component can engage in the other to different depths, using an annular notched element (4) which is held in position by a retaining spring (3). Each component also has a receptacle (5) on its free end for an axial outer sleeve (27) of the pull-cord, whose inner cable (26) extends through the component. A sleeve part (7) is connected around the tubular component (2), and has a conical resting surface (8) in the region of the hollow rod-shaped component (1). The notched element slides on this surface using a radially outer sliding surface (9). A stop (24) is connected firmly to the outer sleeve with a spacing from the receptacle in which a compression spring element is arranged. The latter is especially a helical spring (25), whose spring constant is larger than that of the retaining spring.

Abstract: It has been found that certain glycoproteins, particularly mucins, are inhibitors of nucleic acid amplification reactions and that inhibition of the amplification reaction is associated with partial degradation of the carbohydrate chain. Partial degradation of the carbohydrate of a non-inhibitory glycoprotein renders it inhibitory, and partial degradation of the carbohydrate of a slightly inhibitory glycoprotein makes it more inhibitory. Sample processing prior to amplification may contribute to partial degradation of the carbohydrate chains of the glycoproteins which are present and increase their inhhibitory effect. In contrast, complete removal of the carbohydrate significantly reduces or completely eliminates the inhibitory effect. Methods for reducing or eliminating glycoprotein-associated inhibition of nucleic acid amplification reactions are also disclosed.

Parts of the machine are quickly replaceable and other parts are programmably adjustable to accommodate different stator configurations. The programmably adjustable parts include a lead pull assembly having wire grippers mounted on carriages driven in respectively opposite directions along planes that a perpendicular to the axis of reciprocation and oscillation of the winding shuttle by a programmably controlled drive motor. Air actuators on carriage are used to pivot the wire grippers and to control the vertical spacing of the wire grippers.

Abstract: To increase operating efficiency and prevent operating errors, such as adjustment errors
and the like, by automatic computation of the distance between the workpiece alignment marks,
according to the invention, workpiece alignment marks located at two locations on a workpiece
are subjected to image recording by alignment units, their positions are stored as first positions,
then by rotation of the workpiece by a preset very small angle, the workpiece alignment marks
located at two locations on the workpiece are determined again, and their positions are stored as
second positions. Based on the data of the first and second positions, the distance between the
workpiece alignment marks is determined. Then, based on the distance data, the angular offset
of the workpiece is determined. After correction of this angular offset, the mask and/or the
workpiece is/are moved such that the images of the mask alignment marks and the workpiece
alignment marks come to rest on top of one another.

Abstract: An automatic steering system for a vehicle is provided which
includes a memory section for storing data for a steering angle of a wheel
with respect to a distance of movement of a vehicle in correspondence to
four parking modes. If a desired parking mode is selected by a mode
selecting switch and the vehicle is moved at a creep while depressing a
brake pedal, a control section controls the operation of a steering actuator
to perform automatic parking control. At this time, an object detector
continuously detects the position of an object around or in the vicinity of
the subject vehicle, and when there is an obstacle already existing within
a locus of movement of the subject vehicle, or when there is a possibility
that a moving obstacle may enter into the locus of movement of the
subject vehicle, a warning is provided to a driver, and an automatic brake
is operated. Thus, it is possible to reliably perform the automatic parking
control when there is an obstacle.

Abstract: A device (30) for controlling or metering fluid flow in either direction through a conduit. The device (30) comprises an elongated body (31) having two end walls (32,33) forming an internal chamber (34) therebetween. Each end wall (32,33) further having an aperture (41,42) extending axially therethrough. Disposed within the chamber (34) is a free floating piston (51) having a first metering orifice (44) and a second metering orifice (43) extending therethrough. Fluid flow through the device urges the piston (51) against the end wall in the direction of fluid flow. In this position, the end wall (33) in the direction of fluid flow closes off the second metering orifice (43) while fluid is permitted to pass through the first metering orifice (44) and into the aperture (42) in the end wall (33) in the direction of fluid flow. Upon a flow reversal, the piston (51) is urged against the opposite end wall (32). In this position, fluid will flow through the second metering orifice (43) in the piston (51) and exit into the aperture (41) in the end wall (32) in the direction of fluid flow. The device (30) is adapted for use in a reversible vapor compression air conditioning system. In this application, the sizes of the two metering orifices (43,44) are different so that one can provide proper metering for cooling mode operation and the other can provide proper metering for heating mode operation.

Abstract: A locally-adaptive method for obtaining sub-pixel registration of mask
and opacified digital X-ray images includes the steps of match point generation
(14),locally-adaptive image-to-image warp generation (16), and log subtraction
(18), for generating a DSA image (20). Specifically in match point
generation, a set of two-dimensional points in the mask image and their
corresponding points in the opacified image are derived. After match point
generation, locally-adaptive image-to-image warp generation is performed
using the image-to-image match points; that is, a transformation function is
generated that maps the matched points in the mask image to their
corresponding points in the opacified image. The generated transformation is
then applied to the mask image data and the logarithm of the pixel value in the
transformed (i.e., warped) mask image is subtracted from the logarithm of the
corresponding pixel value in the opacified image.
