Abstract: A box stacker (34) uniquely able to
semiautomatically load, in place, inside
a variety of enclosures, columns of
stackable boxes, said box stacker (34) being in
the form of a movable structure (38) that
has a conveyor belt carrying structure
attached thereto in a cantilevered fashion. The conveyor belt carrying
structure (44) has an inner end and an outer
end and carries spaced boxes thereon
to be stacked. A speed-up belt carrying
structure (46) has an inner end attached
to the outer end of the conveyor belt
carrying structure (44) and receives boxes
from the conveyor belt. A lift device automatically raises the conveyor belt
carrying structure (44) in predetermined
increments to successively deposit boxes
on a column or stack and a drive arrangement is coupled to the speed-up belt
for driving the speed-up belt at a greater speed than the conveyor belt to eject
the boxes from the speed-up belt onto the column or stack.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for collecting 
biological fluids and handling the same into a sample 
for testing comprising a tubular container (24) having 
open ends, one of which is removably secured to a 
collection storage unit (30,130,180). A shuttle 
assembly (50) constructed of a cylindrical hollow

Abstract: A number of methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing a service in a
distributed object operating environment. According to some embodiments of the present
invention, methods and apparatus for providing a conspiracy among objects in a object
operating environment are disclosed. In particular, conspiracies within a distributed object
operating environment are contemplated. In general, the present invention teaches
mechanisms by which a collection of objects can form a conspiracy wherein objects can
both communicate behind the object interfaces and share all resources. In some
embodiments, the collection of objects work together to provide a service to clients.
According to one embodiment, the objects which are members of the conspiracy may be
distributed objects located in separate processes. In some embodiments, objects which are
members of the conspiracy are able to perform interactions with one another behind the
interface ( i.e . without having to communicate through the interface) and also share
persistent state. Three specific embodiments of the present invention are described, these
being (1) a shared servant conspiracy model, (2) a shared object conspiracy model, and (3)
a hybrid object conspiracy model. Each of these embodiments incorporates the conspiracy
concept of the present invention yet they each have particular advantages which will be
apparent upon reading the detailed description of the figures.

Abstract: A rotor 22 accommodated in a casing 26 has a
circumferential surface sliding on the internal surface of
the casing 26 in airtight condition. The casing 26 is
provided with a powder feed part 27 positioned above the
rotor and is provided with a powder drop part 30 positioned
under the rotor. At least one quantity-measuring recessed
part is formed in the slide surface of the rotor. In
accordance with the rotation of the rotor, the quantity-measuring
recessed part comes to communicate with the
powder feed part, so that powder is fed from the powder
feed part into the quantity-measuring recessed part. When
the rotation is advanced, the quantity-measuring recessed
part comes to communicate with the powder drop part, so
that the powder drops from the quantity-measuring recessed
part through the powder drop part into a high-pressure part
19 arranged thereunder. These members construct a
quantitative powder feeder which, even when a pressure
difference exists between the supply side and the supplied
side, can effectively prevent the gas flow and pressure
leak therebetween and can minimize the amount of carrier
gas used for feeding powder.

Abstract: In a video signal encoding method and apparatus, a video
signal transmitting method, and the recording medium, hierarchical
encoding of image data implies problems in that a compressing
efficiency is reduced as the number of hierarchical levels is
increased and that the image quality is degraded particularly in
lower-level hierarchical images. After data D31, D33, D35 at
respective hierarchical levels are generated by an average value
calculation, pixel data which can be restored by arithmetic
operations using pixel data at adjacent higher hierarchical levels
and pixel data at their own hierarchical levels are thinned, and
higher-level hierarchical data are compressively coded with larger
numbers of quantization bits. Since the amount of pixel data to be
transmitted can be reduced by the thinning, it is possible to
suppress an increase in number of pixels to be transmitted, caused
by the hierarchical structure. In addition, higher-level
hierarchical data are assigned larger numbers of quantization bits,
so that degradation in image quality due to quantization errors at
the higher hierarchical levels can be reduced in lower-level
hierarchical images.

Abstract: The input pads DQ0 to DQ3 and the input buffers
DIB0 to DIB3 are connected to each other by means of
the wires La or Lb. In the case where the memory cell
array is of the × 4 bit pattern, the input pads DQ0 to
DQ3 are connected to the input terminals of the input
buffers DIB0 to DIB3, respectively, via the wires La,
whereas in the case where the memory cell array is of
the × 1 bit pattern, one of the input pads, that is,
DQ0 is connected to each of the input terminals of the
input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 via the wires Lb. The
structures from the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 to the
memory cell arrays are the same and common to the × 4
bit pattern and the × 1 bit pattern, and therefore an
increase in the driving performance of the transistors
in the input buffers DIB0 to DIB3 can be suppressed.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus having a cylindrical tempering column comprising
a cooling stage (CO) and a subsequent reheating stage (RH) for continuous tempering
of a fat-containing, chocolate-like mass. A plurality of interconnected mass chambers
are separated by intermediary heat exchange chambers. The mass chambers
comprise mixing and stirring elements (8) with radially extending, plate shaped arms
(11) comprising plate shaped mixing blades (13,14,15,16;17,18,19,20). According
to the invention is an upper or lower mixing blade (16;20) arranged at the
peripheral end of the mixing and stirring element (8) having a vertically extending
end surface (27), thereby providing a shear gap between the end surface (27) and
the cylinder wall (28). Hereby is achieved, that the effect of a shear is provided at
the comparatively large surface area at the cylinder wall. A considerable increase
of the total area of the shear gaps is obtained. Furthermore, the total surface area
of the plate shaped arms (11) and of the mixing blades
(13,14,15,16;17,1 8,19,20) may decrease gradually in direction out towards the peripheral cylinder wall.
Hereby is achieved a considerable more uniform stirring of the mass at all areas of
the chamber followed by an enhanced heat transport in the mass than was possible
with the prior temperers.

Abstract: A three-dimensional waveguide has path regions (12.1, 12.2) which share
a common confining region (11, 13.1, 13.2) uniform refractive index. The path
regions are located at two or more levels. The structure is implemented in silica
with distributed dopants to distinguish path regions from the confining region. The
structure is made using flame hydrolysis to deposit layers. Melting point
depressants are incorporated so that later deposited layer can be melted without
melting the whole structure. Some layers of pure silica can be deposited by
chemical vapour deposition. These layers are never melted and they provide a
stabilising skeleton wen complicated structures are melted.

wall in a region of an angle 45 degrees to both sides from a
plane X perpendicular to a tube axis Z as seen from a
position of a center P of the discharge chamber portion (21)
is substantially constant, a ratio of a thickness of the tube
wall within the above range is set to be a value within a
range from 1 to 0.8, and a discharge bulb (2) and an outer
cover tube (6) are in contact with each other in the
lowermost portion of the discharge chamber portion (21), the
other portion than the arc portion is prevented from shining
in the taper portion provided in the seal portion, by
specifying the shape of the discharge chamber portion, an
optical distortion at a time of passing through the discharge
bulb can be reduced, and by bringing the discharge bulb and 
the outer cover tube into contact with each other, a
non-evaporated metal halide material can be stored in the
