Abstract: The present invention provides an improved means for regulating the immune response, for ameliorating effects of stress, and for avoiding untoward effects of chemotherapy or exposure to irradiation by administration of androstediol (AED) and androstenetriol (AET). The improved means of regulating immune response can be utilized in treating infectious diseases and immune diseases such as diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome, both diseases now considered to be immune response related syndromes. These compounds can also be used to treat alopecia, intestinal disorders, immunosuppression induced by steroids, phasyngitis, hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, meningitis, exanthem, encephalitis, hepatitis, infantile, diarrhea, paralysis, pericarditis, myocarditis, diabetes or to increase the immune response against certain anemias or diabetes or to a vaccine immunogen.

Abstract: A wavelength converting method and apparatus which converts wavelength division
multiplexed (WDM) signal light, having a plurality of channels, by four-wave mixing (FWM) the
WDM signal light with at least one pump lightwave. Wavelength conversion of the WDM
signal (320) is accomplished without producing noise by FWM the WDM signal (320) with a pump
lightwave (330), wherein the pump lightwave frequency is separated from the WDM signal by an
interval equal to or greater than the bandwidth of the WDM signal. Two pump lightwaves
can be used instead of one, wherein one of the pump lightwaves has a frequency on one side of the
bandwidth of the WDM signal, and the average frequency of the two pump lightwaves is on

Abstract: Electronic ink layout analysis systems and methods provide flexibility and efficiency
in organizing, analyzing, and processing digital ink. These layout analysis systems and
methods allow users substantial freedom in entering electronic ink into a pen-based computer
system. Using these systems and methods, a user's input digital ink is not constrained by
requirements that a user write in a specific screen orientation, that a user write in one specific
orientation on all portions of a page, or that a user write using a specific minimum or
maximum sized stroke. Rather, the systems and methods freely allow the user to write
anywhere on a given page, in any orientation or size, while still enabling effective and
efficient handwriting recognition and other processing of the input digital ink.

Abstract: An AC ground fault detector system for sensing an AC signal indicative of an unintended
electrical path between a load driven by a power source and a reference potential comprises a
first power conductor coupled to a first terminal of the power source and a second power
conductor coupled to a second terminal of the power source. A switching mechanism coupled to
the first and second power conductors is operative for alternately connecting a phase of the load
with the first and second power conductors according to a predetermined switching rate,
whereby, during normal operation, voltages developed at the first power conductor and second
power conductor are substantially constant with respect to a reference potential. In the event of
an occurrence of the unintended electrical path of at least one phase of the load with the
reference potential, time varying voltages are developed at the first power conductor and second
power conductor associated with the switching rate. A detector is coupled at an input port to the
first power conductor for receiving the voltage or current signal on the first power conductor.
The detector includes a processing circuit for processing the received signal and comparing with
a threshold value, and an output port for generating an output signal based on said comparison;
whereby the occurrence of the unintended electrical path between the load and reference
potential causes a change in the voltage or current signal on the first power conductor of
sufficient magnitude relative to the threshold value for detection by the detector such that the
output signal of the detector is indicative of a detected fault.

Abstract: A stator roll(7) and rotor roll(3) form a granulating chamber(10) between them into stator knives(8) and rotor knives project. A cooling system(23) for cooling plastic material to be granulated supplies a coolant into the granulating chamber during the granulating cycle.  The coolant is a gas, preferably air, whose temperature is below the plastic solidification temperature of the material. Location of the cooling system is at designated points only, particularly just prior to the stator knives(8) and preferably on a holder for a stator knife. Coolant enters the granulating chamber(10) via small nozzles linked to a relatively large connecting bore and a transverse bore(23). Nozzle bores are radial to the cylindrical granulating chamber and coolant flowing through them lifts the plastic from the inner walls of the stator. Coolant is introduced intermittently, typically two or three times for each cycle with a single burst time of 5-8secs. An Independent claim is included for a method of operating the granulator in which, when a set threshold value of the rotor drive current exceeds a set value, the rotational speed of the rotor is reduced and coolant is introduced via the claimed cooling system into the granulating chamber.

Abstract: A process extracts a combustible gas from wood in a reactor into which steam and air are injected in the presence of a mixed inorganic catalyst. The wood biomass is heated, dried, further heated by a combination of hot steam and air, thus producing gas. The raw gas is then partially cooled and extracted from the raw gas and purified for use as motor fuel. The biomass is successively dosed with the multi-functional mixed catalyst.  After the biomass has been discharged into the upper part of the reactor (zone a) it is heated by hot steam to 100-200 degreesC, and air is bled off. The wood mass in zone 'a' is then further heated to 300-400 degreesC by the admission of hot steam by jets in the upper part of the next zone (zone 'b'). The coked mass in the reactor mid-section (zone 'c') is exposed to twin supplies of hot air. The air admitted does not exceed 0.7 kg/kg dry biomass, raising the temperature stepwise from 500 to at least 750 degreesC. The glowing coke is released rapidly through the reactor waist zone, but falls slowly through the lower section (zone 'd'). the temperature above the waisted zone does not exceed 900 degreesC, but falls rapidly below the waisted zone to 700-300 degreesC. The product raw gas is drawn from the reactor at 300-400 degreesC and cleaned. The spent biomass is released at the base of the reactor as ash.  An Independent claim is included for an assembly for use in the above process.

Abstract: A drawing instruction processor refers to a bitmap line table that
shows whether the bit arrays in the row unit are the same in the order
of concentrations. The drawing instruction processor decides whether
dither patterns to be used for the adjacent specified drawing ranges are
the same, by referring to the BLT, and links the drawing ranges to which
the same pattern can be applied. Based on this, the drawing
processor carries out a batch writing using a dither pattern prepared in
advance into the specified range in the page memory. The dither
pattern to be used for the drawing is prepared by linking a plurality of
the same basic patterns to have a length corresponding to the length of
the word length. As a result of such an arrangement, it is possible to
achieve a high-speed processing.
