Title: Patterned metallized film and method for making same
Inventor: MURPHY JAMES J
IPC: B44F7/00
Filed: 1990-05-23
Granted: 1992-04-02
Abstract: A patterned metallized film (10) comprises a transparent or translucent polymeric film coated on one side with a thin coating of metal, with the metal coating and the polymeric film being bonded to each other. The metal coating has a multiplicity of fractures of different sizes distributed throughout the coating in a prescribed pattern (12) so that the reflection of light by the fractured metal coating produces a three-dimensional illusion of the pattern (12) when viewed through said polymeric film. The film may also include a layer of adhesive on the opposite side of the metal coating from the polymeric film, and a paper backing sheet on the opposite side of the adhesive layer from the metal coating. The fractures are preferably formed by heating the metallized film non-uniformly so that selected areas of the film expand and soften at a rate different from the rate at which other areas of said film expand and soften. The different rates of expansion and softening produce multiple fractures in the metal coating between the selected areas and the other areas, whereby the fractures replicate the desired pattern.

Title: Hormone-secreting cells maintained in long-term culture
Inventor: BROTHERS ANN JANICE
IPC: C12P21/04
Filed: 1996-10-23
Granted: 1999-01-14
Abstract: Methods are provided for the establishment and maintenance in long term culture of hormone secreting cells. Cells are derived from tumorous or non-tumorous animal or human tissues, including ovary, endometrium, trophoblast, pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas. The cells secrete into the culture medium hormones such as estrogens, progestins, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin, thyroxin, glucagon, and insulin, depending on the tissue of origin of individual cell cultures. Contact with an appropriate secretogogue causes the cells to respond with increased hormone secretion. For instance, ovarian follicular cells respond to follicle-stimulating hormone with increased estrogen and progesterone secretion. Pancreatic cells respond to elevated glucose with increased insulin secretion. The cells proliferate in in vitro for up to one year or longer, during which time they retain their hormone-secretion profile. The cells may be frozen for storage, and retain their hormone-secretion profile after thawing. The cell cultures are useful for the production of human hormones, for the bio-assay of drugs such as therapeutic gonadotrophin, for the testing of drug efficacy and design, and for toxicity testing of drugs and chemicals. The cells may also be implanted in an individual to replace deficient hormone secretion. For instance, insulin secreting pancreatic cells may be implanted in a diabetic individual as an adjunct or replacement therapy for exogenously administered insulin.

Title: Treatment of industrial wastewaters
Inventor: HERMAN STEWART T
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 1982-08-09
Granted: 1985-09-26
Abstract: An industrial wastewater treatment method is described whereby heavy metals dissolved in the waste. water are precipitated as a siurry which, when allowed to settle, will form a sludge containing at least 10 weight percent solids. In the method, an aqueous suspension or solution of a neutralizing agent is introduced into a first reactor. A suspension containing particles of carrier agent is also introduced into the first reactor. A portion, if not all, of the neutralizing agent is adsorbed on the surface of the particles of the carrier, which are maintained in suspension in the first reactor. The carrier, with its adsorbed neutralizing agent, is passed to a second reactor and simultaneously the contaminated industrial wastewater is added to the second reactor. The pH of the wasterwater is adjusted to a range between 8.4 and 10.6 by the neutralizing agent. Within such pH range, a substantial portion, if not all, of the heavy metals are precipitated in the form of a slurry. The mixture in the second reactor is passed to a solids separation device. The solids in the slurry settle to the bottom of the device to form a sludge which is removed therefrom. Purified water is removed as an overflow from the separation device. Optionally. a flocculant may be added to aid in settling the solids.insoluble calcium salts may also be precipitated in the second reactor. Such insoluble salts are adsorbed on the surface of the carrier and/or the heavy metal slurry particles and become part of the sludge formed in the seperation device.

Granted: 2002-03-21
Abstract: In a method for performing a phase comparison, and a phase comparator, two binary signals are compared using two functionally similar asynchronous state machines, which generate two output signals used for controlling a phase. A first state machine is fed a first signal to be compared, an output signal of a second state machine and a handshaking signal of the second state machine. The second state machine is fed a second signal to be compared, an output signal of the first state machine and a handshaking signal of the first state machine. The two state machines activate their respective handshaking signals after detecting activation of the signal to be compared. The handshaking signal ensures the logical operation of the phase comparator.

Title: Contrast accentuation
Inventor: KNOP HANS-GEORG
IPC: H04N1/407
Filed: 1982-10-15
Granted: 1987-01-15
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for improving contrast accentuation in the case of the re-recording of originals in the sphere of electronic image processing by means of graving devices and scanners. An image signal is obtained by scanning an original opto-electronically dot-by-dot and line-by-line, and at least one surround signal is obtained by evaluating the surrounding area of the image dots. A correction signal which is superimposed on the image signal for the purpose of contrast accentuation is derived from the surround signal and the image signal. The original is thereupon re-recorded on a recording medium to an optional reproduction scale. The magnitude of contrast accentuation on the recording medium is adjusted by varying the width of overlap of the image signal and correction signal irrespective of the actual reproduction scale, In the case of enlargements in particular, troublesome border patterns on outlines are averted or at least reduced in such degree that they are no longer noticeable to the beholder.

Title: Modulation valve for antiskid brakes - with solenoid controlled backing pressure from top-up reservoir
IPC: F16D65/74
Filed: 1970-03-16
Abstract: The back of the brake piston (1) in the master cylinder is fitted with a chamber (4) filled with brake fluid at atmospheric pressure. A side duct (5) leads to a top-up reservoir (6) via control piston (2) normally in the open flow setting. When the antiskid control operates, a solenoid (9) pushes the control piston downwards, isolating the chamber from the reservoir and pressurising the chamber. This relieves the brake pressure by providing a backing pressure to the master brake piston. The valve operates efficiently, with an automatic top-up from the reservoir. The control piston is hollow and has a ring shaped duct near the top, to provide the through flow position when the solenoid is off.
