Abstract: The transfer consists of a backing film (1) which is softened by the effect of a liquid, and a number of layers (2, 3, 4, 5) which are applied to the backing film just before the articles to be decorated are immersed in a bath. At least one of the layers is reticulable, with the reticulation initiated prior to transfer, and the backing layer has a primary layer with reactivatable penetrating inks, and another layer which is an activator for the inks and is applied at the moment the film is immersed. After the article has been immersed and the decoration transferred to it is rinsed to get rid of any backing layer residues and protected by an impermeable film layer. The different layers can be made from composition materials, e.g. containing micro-capsules which are opened before or after application e.g. by laser radiation, electron treatment or thermal shock.

Abstract: The method uses a chemical sensor (20) with a nominal measurement range for the concentration of the substance. The method involves removing a sample gas flow from the gaseous medium. The sample gas is mixed with a thinning gas flow in a mixer (16) to form a measurement gas flow (3) with an adjustable thinner ratio. The measurement gas flow (3) is fed to the chemical sensor (20) to generate a detection signal. The thinner ratio is regulated such that the concentration of the substance detected by the chemical sensor is kept within the nominal range. The sample gas (1) and the thinner gas (2) are fed alternately in defined volumes into the mixer (16) under time control. The ratio of thinner is calculated on the basis of the time ratio.

Abstract: A modulator for modulating incident rays of light, the modulator having a plurality of equally spaced apart elements, each of which includes a light reflective planar surface. The elements are arranged parallel to each other with their light reflective surfaces parallel to each other. The modulator includes means for supporting elements in relation to one another and means for moving particular ones of the elements relative to others so that the moved elements transit between a first configuration wherein the modulator acts to reflect the incident rays of light as a plane mirror, and a second configuration wherein the modulator diffracts the light reflected therefrom. In operation, the light reflective surfaces of the elements remain parallel to each other in both the first and the second configurations. The perpendicular spacing between the reflective surfaces of respective elements is equal to m/4 times the wavelength of the incident rays of light, wherein m=an even whole number or zero when the elements are in the first configuration and m=an odd whole number when the elements are in the second configuration.

Abstract: The CC type chemokines belong to a family of polypeptides which have proven to be mediators of immune reactions, and they have recently attracted attention due to their antiviral activity with respect to HIV. The cloning and molecular characterization of a human tandem gene is disclosed which contains the closely linked coding regions for two new CC type chemokines the sequences of which are highly homologous with that of MIP-1alpha. The transcription of the tandem gene leads to a bicistronic mature transcript which contains the non-overlapping open reading frames for the recently described factor HCC-1 and an as yet unknown CC type chemokine, designated as CC-2. Moreover, alternative splicing of the primary transcript yields at least one additional CC type chemokine, cytokine CC-3. Two functional promoter regions were identified within the tandem gene. The disclosed data provide some basic knowledge about the structure and expression of the new human CC-2/HCC-1 tandem gene and describe a mechanism according to which the coexpression of closely linked genes could be regulated in higher eucaryotes.
