Patent EP-1277877-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHIOTANI TSUTOMU
IPC: D06P3/82
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: In fiber products (e.g. yarns, woven fabrics,
knit fabrics) comprising highly crosslinked
polyacrylic fibers (made of acrylic fibers by partially
hydrolyzing a nitrile group to generate an amido group
and a carboxylic acid group), fibers blended with the
highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers can be dyed in
an even hue. A pre-dyeing treatment process for such
fiber products (e.g. yarns, woven fabrics, knit fabrics)
comprising highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers
comprises a pretreatment step of immersing the fiber
product into an acidic solution and treating it at a
high temperature and an elevated pressure. A dyeing
process comprises the steps of conducting this pre-dyeing
treatment process, and thereafter
conventionally dyeing fibers which are blended with the
highly crosslinked polyacrylic fibers. A pretreated
fiber product and a fiber product are obtained by the
pre-dyeing treatment process and the dyeing process
mentioned above.

Abstract: Versions of the invention are directed to computer-based methods and apparatus for fast, dynamic programming and recursive partitioning techniques to segment data, especially real-world data, into data structures for display as nodal trees. These techniques (Fig. 4) and displayed data in segmented form have numerous applications, especially for the analysis and understanding of real-world data. Some particular applications are in the area of computational high throughput screening of molecular drug (or pharmaceutical) candidates using a quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) approach. Another particular application is in the areas of pharmacogenomics and parmacogenetics.

Abstract: A surgical micro-resecting instrument including an outer tubular member, an inner tubular member, a hub assembly, wiring, and an electrical insulator. The outer tubular member is formed of an electrically conductive material and defines a proximal section, a distal section forming a cutting window, and an internal lumen. The inner tubular member is disposed within the lumen and defines a proximal end and a distal end forming a cutting tip. The hub assembly maintains the outer tubular member and the inner tubular member. The wiring is permanently electrically connected to the proximal section of the outer tubular member with the electrical connection being encompassed by the hub assembly. The electrical insulator covers a region of the outer tubular member distal the hub assembly, at least the cutting window free of the insulator. In one preferred embodiment, the hub assembly includes an outer hub insert molded to the outer tubular member, and forms a generally radially extending shroud.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell installation comprising a cascaded fuel cell block, for essentially waste gas-free operation. An installation of this type presents the problem that the cascaded fuel cell block is complex to produce and therefore expensive. The aim of the invention is to solve this problem. To this end, the inventive fuel cell installation (1) has several steps (2, 4, 6, 8) which are arranged in a cascade, each of the steps (2, 4, 6, 8) comprising one or more non-cascaded similar fuel cell blocks (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22). Each step (2, 4) has at least one fuel cell block (10, 12, 14, 16), an operating gas feed (24a, 24b, 30a, 30b) and an operating gas outlet (26a, 26b, 32a, 32b), the operating gas outlet (26a, 26b) of the first step (2) being connected to the operating gas feed (30a, 30b) of the second step (4). A fuel cell installation (1) construction consisting of modular similar fuel cell blocks (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) is economical and simple to produce in series.

Abstract: In a brake pedal apparatus of the present invention, as a brake pedal
2 is depressed when an engaging means 15 and a receiving portion 14 are
engaged with each other, a second lever member 2a 2  pivots about a second
pivot pin 13. At this point, when the pedaling force F p  is smaller than a
threshold value F p0 , the engagement between the engaging means 15 and
the receiving portion 14 is maintained so that the second lever member 2a 2 
pivots about the second pivot pin 13. In this state, the pedal leverage is set
to be a smeller ratio. As the pedaling force F p  exceeds the threshold F p0 , the
engaging means 15 is disengaged from the receiving portion 14. Then, the
first and second lever members 2a 1 , 2a 2  are coupled by a stopper portion
2a 3  to pivot together about a first pivot pin 11. Therefore, the pedal
leverage is changed to a larger ratio. In this manner, the brake pedal
apparatus of which pedal leverage can be easily changed is provided.
