Abstract: A method of launching inflatable airship apparatus (3) for subsequent ascent to high altitude for operation as an airship having a hull (4) formed from an inflated flexible gas containment envelope (5), payload (15), drive motor (6) mounted at the stern of the hull and cables (26,27), for supporting the payload (15) within the hull (4), connected to the drive motor (6) and to the hull at, or adjacent to, a nose portion of the hull. The method comprises partially inflating the gas containment envelope (5) with a lighter than air gaseous medium to cause the nose portion to rise within a vertical launch enclosure (10) to position the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) in a launch position, and subsequently releasing the partially inflated gas containment envelope (5) from its launch position through an open top of the vertical enclosure so that the envelope ascends clear of the vertical enclosure (10) and lifts the payload means (15) and drive motor (6) by means of the cables. The invention also relates to inflatable airship apparatus (3) and to a launch station (2) for launching inflatable airship apparatus.

Abstract: A tristate circuit for driving three signal levels to a pin of a device-under-test is disclosed. The tristate circuit includes a driver having an output at a first signal level and adapted for coupling to the pin. A first switching unit couples to the output and responds to a programmed signal. The first switching unit operates to selectively alter the first signal level to a second signal level. A second switching unit connects serially to the first switch. The second switching unit responds to a second programmed signal and operates to cooperate with the first switch to alter the second signal level to a third signal level.

Abstract: A mechanism is described for incorporating into a clamping workbench of the type comprising a pair of main clamping jaws (234, 237) and a supplementary clamping jaw (230) which is movable as a consequence of relative movement of the main jaws to engage and clamp a workpiece lying across the main jaws. The clamping movement of the supplementary jaw (230) is generally perpendicular to that of the main jaws. The invention concerns a supplementary jaw (230) having a single actuating arm (238), one end of which is adapted to be pivotally received in an opening (246) in one of the main jaws (237), and the other end of which is slidably connected to the supplementary jaw (230) and held captive therein by pin means (304, 306) extending above and below the captive end of the arm (238). Typically the pins (304, 306) engage in two aligned slots (300, 302) in the supplementary jaw (230) and the inboard end of the actuating arm is pivotally securable in one of at least two spaced apart points along the length of the two aligned slots (236, 242) to permit the supplement clamping jaw (230) to be adjusted in position to accommodate different workpiece widths. The aligned slots (236, 242) can extend generally parallel or perpendicular to the workpiece engaging face of the supplementary clamping jaw (230).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for battery charging provide a charging cycle in which charging periods alternate with discharging periods. During the charging periods a lead acid battery is charged at a rate of about 0.55xC amperes to about 0.65xC amperes, where C is the battery capacity in ampere hours. The charging periods have durations of about 60 to 180 seconds. During the discharging periods the battery is discharged at a rate in the range of about 0.05xC to about 0.07xC. The discharge periods have durations of about 10 to 20 seconds. By introducing discharging periods while charging the battery, the battery's internal resistance is deceased and less heat is generated during charging. The charging time is about 1-2.5 hours for lead-acid batteries.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating hormone-regulated tumors (for example, breast and prostatic tumors) in mammals, including humans, by administration of an antisense ODN which is complementary to a portion of the gene encoding IGFBP-5. Using the Shionogi tumor model in vitro and in vivo, the administration of such an ODN was shown to reduce proliferation of tumor cells, and also to delay the progression to androgen independence. Thus, treatment of prostate cancer in mammals, including humans, and delay of the progression of prostate tumors to androgen independence is accomplished by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide which is complementary to a portion of the nucleic acid sequence encoding IGFBP-5 and which hybridizes with such a sequence to inhibit expression of IGFBP-5. Specific antisense ODN's which are suitable for use in the method are GACCACGCTGATCACCAT (Seq. ID. No. 1), which is derived from the murine gene sequence, and CGCGGTGAGCAACACCAT (Seq. ID. No. 3) and AGGTCATGCAGCAGCCGC (Seq. ID No 4), which are derived from the human gene sequence.

Abstract: A thermally insulated pipeline assembly comprises an inner pipe surrounded by and spaced from a jacket, which is in turn surrounded by and spaced from an outer casing. The annular space between the inner pipe and the jacket is substantially filled with thermal insulating material such as open cell polyurethane foam, which is preferably injected into the jacket and cured in situ. The space between the jacket and the outer casing may be filled with pressurized gas. The jacket may have apertures to allow the gas access to the annular insulated space. The arrangement provides improved thermal insulation, particularly when the casing is pressurized, by reducing thermal transfer by convection between the inner pipe and the outer casing. The arrangement is also applicable to pipeline bundles, with a plurality of inner pipes each having an associated jacket and insulation, all surrounded by a common casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for detecting or determining a position or angle modification or a bending angle on a workpiece (2) and a workpiece section (3) during a bending process. To this end, at least one measurement or light beam, in particular, in the form of a light fan (14), originating from a light or measurement beam source (6) is directed onto the workpiece (2), in order to create a corresponding pattern of light, in particular, a line of light (7). The latter can be recorded and detected using a receiver, preferably a camera (8), in such a way that a modification to the angle of the workpiece (2) or its workpiece section (3) can be calculated, based on a position modification of the light pattern. The light or measurement beam source (6) is positioned in such a way, that the line of light (7) or several light lines (7) of this type, which can also be geometrical lines of symmetry or diameter lines, run parallel or substantially parallel to the bending line (11), so that a modification to the position of the bent workpiece section (3) leads to a parallel displacement of this projected line (7).

Abstract: The present invention relates to cardiac hypertrophy. More particularly, the present invention defines the molecular events linking calcium stimulation to cardiac hypertrophy. More specifically, the present invention shows that Ca2+ stimulation of the hypertrophic response is mediated through an HDAC 4 and 5 interaction with MEF2, and that phosphorylation of HDACs results in loss of HDAC-mediated repression of MEF2 hypertrophic action. Thus, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating cardiac hypertrophy, as well as methods and compositions for identifying subjects at risk for cardiac hypertrophy. Further provided are methods for the detection of compounds having therapeutic activity toward cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract: Access to a memory is arbitrated by a memory arbiter. A plurality of first counters in the memory arbiter decrements service periods associated with isochronous memory requests, and a second counter decrements a service period associated with asynchronous memory requests, with the service periods for the first and second memory requests together comprising a schedule period. A scheduler logic circuit receives isochronous and asynchronous memory requests and generates a grant signal to service a received asynchronous request during the schedule period if time remains in the second counter, If there are any maintenance events signaled, the memory arbiter may correspondingly decrease the service period for the asynchronous request while the maintenance event is performed.
