Abstract: A hand-held shower unit (12) is disclosed which comprises a rotatable shower head (94) provided with a plurality of spray heads having different spray or water delivery characteristics. The rotatable head (94) is mounted on a shaft (122) driven by a micromotor (190) received in an inner cavity (64) which is formed in a handle casing (52) by offsetting a water conduit (58). Upon pressing a control button (200), the rotatable head (94) is rotated such that water is delivered through selected one of the spray heads. To establish a fluid tight seal between the rotary head (94) and the water conduit (58) while avoiding frictional contact therebetween in order to reduce the torque required for the micromotor (190) to rotate the head (94), a water pressure-responsive movable sealing member is arranged. Also disclosed is a shower bath system including in combination the hand-held shower unit (12). An automatic faucet is also disclosed which is capable of automatically varying the water delivery patterns. Various other embodiments and method of use are also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Known methods for authenticating communication participants add a code word to a command signal, which code word is a crytographic function of the command signal and a key value which in its turn is a function of a master key value and a change code word. The master key value has a permanently fixed value, in contrast to the change code word which serves to change the key value. The method according to the invention makes use of a key value which is a function of at least one previous key value, the master key value with the permanently fixed value, which, once it has been discovered or leaked, substantially weakens the encryption, no longer being required. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compounds are disclosed for treating viral infections due to herpes, influenza, hepatitis B, Epstein-Barr, and varicella zoster viruses, as well as cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by means of lipid derivatives of antiviral agents. The compounds consist of lipid derivatives of phosphonoacids having antiviral activity which are linked, commonly through the phosphate group of the phosphonoacid, to one of a selected group of lipids. The lipophilic nature of these compounds provides advantages over the use of the phosphonoacids alone. It also makes it possible to incorporate them into the lamellar structure of liposomes when combined with similar molecules. In the form of liposomes, these antiviral molecules are preferentially taken up by macrophages and monocytes, cells which have been found to harbor the target human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Additional site specificity may be incorporated into the liposomes with the addition of ligands, such as monoclonal antibodies or other peptides or proteins which bind to viral proteins. Effective phosphonoacids are phosphonoformic acid or phosphonoacetic acid; lipid groups may be glycolipids, sphingolipids, phospholipids, glycerolipids, or fatty acids. The compounds persist, after intracellular hydrolysis, as the antiviral phosphonoacids. The compounds are effective in improving the efficacy of antiviral phosphonoacids by prolonging the antiviral activity after the administration of the drug has ended, and in preventing retroviral replication in HIV infections which have become resistant to therapy with conventional forms of the antiretroviral agents.

Abstract: A method of forming a hydrostatic nut that cooperates with a lead screw for translating a wheel head, or carriage, on a grinding machine, such as a cam grinder. A lead screw standard, or master, which is externally threaded, is inserted into a cylindrical mold, which is internally threaded. The standard is retained therein by pressure plates that seal off opposite ends of the open bore of the mold. Beads of wax, or tape, or some other rigid instrumentality, are adhered to the exterior surfaces of the helical threads on the standard, while the rest of the standard is treated with a release coating. A continuous cavity is defined between the internal threads on the nut and the external threads on the standard. An epoxy resin or other castable polymer is introduced through an inlet port in the mold into the cavity. The castable polymer is allowed to cure into a rigid mass that adheres to the internal threads on the mold except for the helical beads. The standard is removed, the mold is machined to its final configuration as a hydrostatic nut, and the wax, or tape, is removed to leave voids in the rigid cured polymer. The voids define oppositely directed helical channels that are pressurized to form a thin fluid film that prevents metal to metal contact between the complementary helical threads on the nut and lead screw. The cured polymeric mass is structurally reinforced by the threads defined on the metal nut, so that the channels defined on the exterior surface thereof maintain their dimensions.

Abstract: A method and system for the automated detection of lesions in computed tomographic images, including generating image data from at least one selected portion of an object, for example, from CT images of the thorax. The image data are then analyzed in order to produce the boundary of the thorax. The image data within the thoracic boundary is then further analyzed to produce boundaries of the lung regions using predetermined criteria. Features within the lung regions are then extracted using multi-gray-level thresholding and correlation between resulting multi-level threshold images and between at least adjacent sections. Classification of the features as abnormal lesions or normal anatomic features is then performed using geometric features yielding a likelihood of being an abnormal lesion along with its location in either the 2-D image section or in the 3-D space of the object.

Abstract: A perforating blade and signature having a unitary blade (12) that is very narrow in width in proportion to its length, with a cutting edge (16) along one longitudinal side. The cutting edge (16) comprises a combination of a number of spaced-apart straight (12) and angled (20) sections arranged so that the angled sections (20) angle inwardly toward a center point (18) on the perforating blade and along a single side of the cutting edge only. In one embodiment the pattern starts with a single long cutting tooth in the center (18) of the blade followed outwardly from the center on both sides with a repeating pattern of three angled teeth followed by a short straight tooth and so forth. The angled teeth (20) are all angled to the same side of the blade so that the resulting fold line (26) has cuts only on one side (29) of the fold line. The angled cuts result in ties (28) that twist easily, and that, therefore, result in fold lines (26) that fold cleanly without gusseting or binding. The angled cuts and teeth can be straight or curved so long as they are angled toward the approximate middle of the blade and are formed on one side of the blade only.
