Abstract: A method of locating an optical code of the maxicode type wherein a central target element comprises three concentric black rings separated by two white annular spaces and a white circular central space defining the center of the target element. The method includes the steps of: acquiring (90) and binary-coding (100) an image of the optical code; examining (230, 270) rows and columns of the binary-coded image, each row or column having black elements, each defined by at least one elementary representation unit of a first binary value ("1"), and white elements (W0, W1, W2, W3, W4), each defined by at least one elementary representation unit of a second binary value ("0"); performing a sequence control step (720) to locate, in each examined row or column of the image, at least one predetermined sequence of white and black elements; and performing an assigning step (760) in which the rows or columns in the image containing a sequence of white and black elements corresponding to the predetermined sequence are recognized as intersecting the center of the target element. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: In this publication there has been presented a movable roll holder for unwindable material, e.g. towel paper, equipped with a tightener based on a counterweight mechanism. The roll holder includes a foot (1) to which a shaft (2) is attached so that the shaft can easily be removed for changing the roll. It is possible to tear a piece of paper from the roll holder by one hand so that the paper tears off reliably along the perforation and that the paper left in the holder does not run from the roll holder. To the shaft (2) of the roll holder has been mounted a counterweight (3) which pulls a tightener (5) against the paper with constant load. The tightener prevents the paper from running during and after the tearing and thus enables the dosing of the paper by one hand.

Abstract: A multifunction passive infrared occupancy sensor (14) which functions as an occupancy sensor for security systems and also as an occupancy sensor for energy management control systems. The occupancy sensor (14) comprises at least one segmented infrared lens array wherein the segments of the infrared lens array establish different optical lobes in the field of view of the occupancy sensor (14). At least one pyroelectric infrared detector (91) is positioned at or near the focal point of the segmented infrared lens array, for detecting movement of infrared sources within the field of view of the occupancy sensor (14) and producing an output signal representative thereof. A processing means (97) analyzes the output signal of the detector (91) for security detection purposes by detecting changes in the output signal greater than a given security threshold. The processing means (97) also analyzes the output signal of the detector (91) for energy management purposes by detecting changes in the output signal greater than a given energy management threshold, which is less than the security threshold. In one embodiment (Fig. 5) first and second processing circuits detect changes in the detector output signal greater than the security threshold and energy management threshold. In a second embodiment (Fig. 6) the output of the detector is coupled to an analog to digital converter (66), the output of which is coupled to a digital processor (68) which utilizes one of two different software processing routines, a security threshold processing routine, and an energy management threshold processing routine. A further embodiment (Fig. 9) electroncially switches detector elements in a detector element array. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rapid and simple method of isolating heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins from plant tissues such as potato tubers is disclosed. The method comprises three steps. Proteins from potato tubers are extracted in an aqueous/alcohol extraction medium to form an alcohol extract. The alcohol extract is heated to a first temperature then cooled to a second temperature to form an insoluble precipitate phase containing debris and a soluble phase that contains the heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins. The heat stable proteinase inhibitor proteins are precipitated from the soluble phase by dialysis against a suitable dialysis medium. The precipitated proteins may include a single inhibitor protein, or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a combinatorial approach for preparing arrays of chemically sensitive polymer-based sensors which are capable of detecting the presence of a chemical analyte in a fluid in contact therewith. The described methods and devices comprise combining varying ratios of at least first and second organic materials which, when combined, form a polymer or polymer blend that is capable of absorbing a chemical analyte, thereby providing a detectable response. The detectable response of the sensors prepared by this method is not linearly related to the mole fraction of at least one of the polymer-based components of the sensors, thereby making arrays of these sensors useful for a variety of sensing tasks.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell is disclosed that includes a cell housing and a spiral-wound electrode assembly including wound alternating layers of a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode. The electrochemical cell further includes a destruction control mechanism provided proximate an interior surface of the cell housing for piercing a portion of the separator layer to create an internal short circuit between outermost layers of the positive and negative electrodes of the spiral-wound electrode assembly when an excessive force is applied to the destruction control mechanism. The destruction control mechanism preferably includes burrs formed on the trailing end of the negative electrode that protrude toward the positive electrode so as to penetrate through the adjacent separator layer to create an internal short circuit when excessive force is applied to the burrs. Preferably, the burrs are created by stitching a conductive tab to an exposed portion of the conductive foil strip forming a portion of the negative electrode. To further increase the likelihood that the first internal short circuit will occur when the burrs penetrate the separator, the portion of the positive electrode underlying the burrs may be formed of exposed conductive foil to provide an inert region for the short circuit to occur.
