Abstract: A centrifugation device comprising a combined sample chamber and slide holder adapted to be mounted, with a microscope slide (26), in a centrifuge in a predetermined position, after placing a fluid biological sample containing cells in the sample chamber. The device comprises an integrally moulded body (10) affording a base (14) which engages the microscope slide, and also affording a back plate (14) connected with the base plate by an integral hinge (22) a latch mechanism formed integrally with the remainder of the device is arranged, when the back plate (14) is closed against the rear of a microscope slide (26) engaged with the base (14), to locate the slide between the base and the back plate and to hold the back plate in this closed position until fracture of a retaining element from the integrally moulded body. Thus, the device can be used once only. The base includes an aperture communicating with the sample chamber and carries an elastomeric gasket (26) for sealing the edges of the aperture with respect to the surface of the microscope slide. The material of the gasket (20) includes an oil component which, in use, forms an oil film on the microscope slide where the gasket contacts the slide, which can act as a barrier to aqueous fluid and prevents migration of such fluid past the region of the slide contacted by the gasket.

Abstract: A handling system for palletised loads (3), or loads in rigid containers (3) has a lateral track (2) at right angles to the main transport track (1) into which loads can be diverted, or from which loads can be fed into the transport track. The loads are transferred by two parallel drive belts (2a, 2b) which reach into one side of the transport track and by a third, central drive belt (2c) which reaches further into the transport track. The belt drives are normally under the transport plane of the main track and are provided with raised lifting profiles which lift selected loads off the transport track for transfer to the lateral track. Loads are fed into the transport track by reversing the process. The raised profiles can be simple bars fitted to the drive belts. The lateral track can be sorting track or can be used for temporary storage of containers.

Abstract: Method and system for sorting a series of plants (11-13,54-56))
arranged in a carrier (16,46), such as a roller trough (16), on the
basis of characteristics. For this purpose said series of plants
(11-13,54-56) is transferred in its entirety from such a carrier (16,46)
to a first intermediate storage (20,57). From there, plants
(11-13,54-56) that have a certain characteristic are transferred to a
second or further storage (21,22,58,59), depending on said
characteristic. From each intermediate storage (20,57) the plants are
collected into a series in a first (24), second (25) or further buffer
(26), respectively. In the interim, the carrier (16,46) is moved from
the first transfer position to a second transfer position. When a
complete series of plants with a specific characteristic has been
collected in one of the buffers (24,25,26), this series of plants is
transferred in its entirety to the carrier (16,46), which is now empty
and optionally has been cleaned, at said second transfer position. The
system can be provided with an evaluation system such as a camera (19)
system for determining the characteristics of each individual plant. For
positioning the individual plants some distance apart for the purposes
of the evaluation, the system can be provided with a preliminary
storage, upstream of the first intermediate storage, into which the
series of plants is transferred from the carrier, the plant being
evaluated during movement from the preliminary storage to the first
intermediate storage.

Abstract: A processor acquires VICS data that provide map information and traffic jam
information of a vehicle. As it recognizes a request for displaying the transition of a
traffic jam, if any, it computationally generates traffic jam prediction information after the
elapse of a predetermined time, e.g., every 30 minutes, using a traffic jam prediction table
and calendar template obtained by statistically processing past data with temporal
elements on the basis of the current time and day. Then, it causes a terminal display
(140) to display a map corresponding to the map information and superimposed by an icon
reflecting the traffic jam prediction information at predetermined time intervals of 0.5
seconds or 1 second for instance, in a switched manner to make the map being displayed
appear as if it is animated so that a user can easily recognize the transition of the traffic
jam condition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to to an apparatus for

of life is represented through expansion of contrast and the
gray level can be expanded, and method for driving the same.
According to the present disclosure, since a gray level of an
input data is distributed over the whole gray level region,
contrast can be expanded. It is therefore possible to display
an image being full of life. Furthermore, if the gray level
of the input data is expanded over the whole gray level
region, contrast is increased. Moreover, when the gray level
region is expanded, an error diffusion unit and/or a
dithering unit are/is not used.

Abstract: A method is described for performing a link capacity adjustment scheme
(LCAS) in a telecommunication network carrying digital signals arranged in
frames and transmitted using a virtual concatenation group (VCG) composed of
members. The scheme uses a sequence of multiframes identified by a second
multiframe indicator (MFI2) carrying the status of the members (MST) of the
virtual concatenation group. When a failure occurs on a member of the virtual
concatenation group, the failed member is removed from the group decreasing
the bandwidth, while when the failure is repaired, the member is added hitless.
The invention provides a method to minimize the time needed to react to a
failure of a member of the virtual concatenation group: this is achieved
transmitting a member status different for two subsequent members of the
virtual concatenation group in correspondence of a particular second multiframe
indicator.
