Abstract: A CT scanner for obtaining a medical diagnostic image of a subject includes a stationary
gantry  (12) , and a rotating gantry  (16)  rotatably supported on the stationary gantry  (12)  for
rotation about the subject. A fluid bearing  (18)  is interposed between the stationary and
rotating gantries  (12)  and  (16) , respectively. The fluid bearing  (18)  provides a fluid barrier
 (110)  which separates the rotating gantry  (16)  from the stationary gantry  (12) . In a preferred
embodiment, the fluid bearing  (18)  provides for quieter CT scanner operation at high
rotational speeds. Moreover, eliminating the physical contact between the gantries
minimizes wear and optimizes longevity.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for improving release, on a surface, of a
fragrance from an entrapment structure of at least one fragrance oil and at least
one entrapment material. The method destabilises the entrapment structure by
providing at least one trigger molecule which preferentially associates with the
entrapment material; and/or at least one release agent which at least partially
disrupts the entrapment structure. 
     The invention also provides a composition for improving release of a fragrance
from a surface. The composition comprises at least one fragrance oil; at least one
entrapment material, the at least one fragrance oil and the at least one entrapment
material being capable, in use, of forming an entrapment structure on the surface.
The composition also comprises at least one destabilising material, which permits
formation of the entrapment structure on the surface but which destabilising
material can, in use, destabilise the entrapment structure by providing at least one
trigger molecule which preferentially associates with the entrapment material;
and/or at least one release agent which partially disrupts the entrapment structure;
and at least one compatible solvent which doesn't interfere with the formation of
the entrapment structure on the surface. 
     The present methods and compositions can improve fragrance perception, by
overcoming the differences in fragrance perception that result from different
surface, for example, skin, hydration levels and/or different surface types.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit for carrying out a
trimming operation on integrated circuits (2) having a trimming circuit
portion (1) which includes memory elements (10) and a means (8) of
modifying the state of said memory elements (10), at least a first input
or supply pin (IN), an output pin (OUT), and a second supply pin (GND).
The method comprises the following steps:
   enabling a single pin (OUT) to receive trimming data by biasing the pin
to outside its operating range;   to acquire such data, obtaining a clock signal from a division of the bias
potential of the trimming pin (OUT);   obtaining the logic value of the trimming data from a different division
of the bias potential of said pin (OUT);   enabling serial acquisition of the data according to the clock signal; and   transferring the data to the means (8) of modifying the state of the
memory elements (10).    
     Advantageously, the data are also transferred into a selection logic (11),
by-passing the means (8) for modifying the state of the memory
elements (10), on the occurrence of a simulated trimming operation.

Abstract: A method of attenuating noise in three dimensional seismic data using a projection algorithm is disclosed. A frequency-space-space ("f-xy") projection algorithm is used which is a generalization of the f-x projection algorithm. The predictability of the seismic signals in the f-xy domain constitutes the basis of the algorithm. Specifically it is demonstrated that if the seismic events are planar in the t-xy domain, then in the f-xy domain they consist of predictable signals in the xy-plane for each frequency f. A crucial step of the 2-D spectral factorization is achieved through the helical coordinate transformation. In addition to the disclosed general algorithm for arbitrary coherent noise, a specialized algorithm for random noise is disclosed . It has been found that the disclosed projection algorithm is effective even in extreme cases of poor signal to noise ratio. The algorithm is also signal preserving when the predictability assumptions hold.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition de peinture qui comprend un liant, un agent de coalescence et éventuellement des adjuvants et des agents auxiliaires connus per se. L'agent filmogène comprend un glycidyl-ester ou un glycidyl-éther ou un mélange de ceux-ci. Le résidu hydrocarbyle de l'alcool ou de l'acide carboxylique de l'éther ou de l'ester renferme, respectivement, un groupe hydrocarboné linéaire ou ramifié, saturé ou insaturé, contenant 3 à 20 atomes de carbone. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant d'accélérer le durcissement des compositions de peinture et un nouveau procédé permettant de préparer des glycidyl-esters. Les agents filmogènes utilisés dans l'invention abaissent davantage la température de formation de film que les agents filmogènes réactifs classiques. Du fait de leur faible volatilité, ces composés peuvent être utilisés pour produire des applications dépourvues de contaminants organiques volatils.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable steering column line for a motor vehicle, provided with a steering column (1) which receives the steering wheel at its upper end, a central steering shaft (2) which is joined to the steering column via a universal joint (5) and a lower steering shaft (4) which is connected to a steering gear and joined to the central steering shaft (2) by means of a second universal joint (6). The lower steering shaft is joined to the steering gear by means of a third universal joint (12) and/or one of the steering shafts can be displaced in the longitudinal direction. According to the invention said adjustable steering column line comprises a support unit (3) for fixing one of the steering shafts to a bracket which is immovably joined to the car body. The support unit (3) is configured as a support bearing and by means of a spherical ball bearing allows for the assembled steering shaft to be moved into an inclined position. The above configuration ensures that this kind of steering column line has a defined assembly position in the vehicle. It also facilitates the assembly of the steering column line in a vehicle and, under certain circumstances, permits the axial and radial mobility of the mounted steering shaft.

Abstract: Le refroidissement de l'huile est assuré dans un compresseur frigorifique par le soufflage de l'huile chaude qui entre en contact, de manière à assurer un échange de chaleur, avec un réfrigérant liquide provenant d'un condenseur (14) du compresseur et qui est ensuite renvoyé à ce dernier. La chaleur libérée par l'huile et transmise au réfrigérant dans un échangeur de chaleur (36) de refroidissement d'huile provoque la vaporisation du réfrigérant qui, à son tour, provoque une différence de densité dans le réfrigérant s'écoulant à partir du condenseur (14) et dans le réfrigérant en aval de l'échangeur de chaleur (36). Cette différence de densité permet de provoquer et de maintenir l'écoulement du réfrigérant dans l'échangeur de chaleur (36) pour assurer le refroidissement de l'huile.

Abstract: An apparatus for handling layers of palletized goods is described, comprising a vertically displaceable lift head with a mainly horizontal suction face which is substantially adjusted in size for a pallet, for example an EU pallet. The head has a large number of downward open suction chambers arranged for being moved downward against the upper side of an upper layer of individually or groupwise packed goods on a pallet. Individual valves are connected with a vacuum source preferably integrated in the lift head, with individual valves between the suction chambers and the vacuum source being ball valves with spherical valve bodies interacting with round valve openings with preferably spherical valve seats. The valve openings are arranged for being automatically actuated to shut off the ball valves if an associated suction chamber is not blocked downwardly by contacting the upper side of the goods at the uppermost pallet layer. The lift head along the outer sides of the suction face preferably comprises means for exerting an inwardly directed pressure on at least the lower part of the outer sides of the goods of the upper pallet layer. The invention by simple measures mechanizes layered destacking of individual goods from a pallet and subsequent reformation of new pallets with layers of individual goods.
