Abstract: The blind spot vehicle detector for a motor vehicle has a warning circuit (8) to alert the driver if he is about to change lanes with an unseen vehicle in a dangerous position behind him. The circuit has a memory (6) to retain the path of the vehicle (A) in a road. A detection circuit (11-13) co-operates with the memory to establish the presence of another vehicle (B) in the same lane. The path of the vehicle carrying the detector can have sensors on the steering wheel, road sped sensors or road wheel position sensors to determine the projected path of the vehicle.

Abstract: La présente invention porte de façon générale sur des facteurs de croissance et plus précisément sur des facteurs de croissance capables de stimuler ou de faciliter d'une autre manière la formation de cellules insulino-sécrétrices. L'identification de ces facteurs de croissance permet le développement de protocoles servant à cultiver des cellules in vitro en vue d'une transplantation chez un mammifère, en particulier chez des sujets humains présentant des diabètes du type 1 insulino-dépendants ou des états pathologiques associés. Selon la présente invention, l'expression endogène des facteurs de croissance requis pour le développement des cellules productrices d'insuline peut être manipulée in vivo par l'administration appropriée d'agents, notamment des agents génétiques capables de réguler l'expression des facteurs de croissance dans des cellules épithéliales du canal pancréatique. Les facteurs de croissance peuvent être également administrés aux sujets présentant des diabètes du type 1 en vue de stimuler la prolifération et la différentiation cellulaires pancréatiques dans des cellules insulino-sécrétrices. La présente invention porte également sur des modulateurs de différentiation cellulaire pancréatique induite par les facteurs de croissance. Ces modulateurs sont utiles dans le traitement inter alia des tumeurs de la cellule β et ou du cancer du pancréas.

Abstract: An endless metal belt comprises a pair of layered ring
structures(31) each formed by superposing a plurality of thin
metal rings (R1, R2, ... and Rn) in layers so as to be slidable
relative to each other, and a plurality of metal blocks (32)
arranged along the length of the pair of layered ring structures
(31) and supported on the pair of layered ring structures (31)
so as to be slidable relative to the pair of layered ring
structures (31). The inner circumferences of the thin metal
rings (R2, R3, ... Rn) excluding the innermost thin metal ring
(R1) are provided with oil retaining grooves (34), and the inner
circumference in sliding contact with saddle surfaces (32 4 )
of the metal blocks (32) of the innermost thin metal ring (R1)
is a flat, smooth surface (35) not provided with any oil
retaining grooves and having a small surface roughness. The
circumferences of adjacent thin metal rings in sliding contact
with each other are lubricated by a lubricating oil retained
in the oil retaining grooves (34) with resultant reduction of
friction. Since the inner circumference of the innermost thin
metal ring (R1), which is in sliding contact with the saddle
surfaces (32 4 ), is flat and smooth with a small surface
roughness, the friction of the inner circumference is reduced.
Thus, the ring assembly forming the endless metal belt has an
increased durability in its entirety.

other with a gasket (4) interposed therebetween, and the
gasket (4) is pressed between the open end of the battery
case (2) and a step (35) of the seal case (3) for sealing

individual peripheral edges of a bottom surface (31) of the
seal case (3), the strength of straight parts of a seal-case
side-peripheral surface (32) of the seal case (3) increases
against a seal pressure during caulking, and a decrease of

Abstract: This invention relates to a data recording method or the like preferably being
applicable to a case where it records data on an optical disc such as DVD+RW disc. When
writing the data on block area A, if no normal write clock occurs correctly, it stops writing
the data and performs replacement procedures on the area A. It then writes predetermined
data on the area A using reference clock. It also records the data on next block
area A+1 across the area A, thereby preventing the area A from generating blank
portion therein on its rear side based on nonuniform rotation of the optical disc, etc. It
records the data on the area A+1 using normal write clock. It then performs the
replacement procedure on the area A+1. Thereby, it prevents the disadvantage such as a
tracking servo failure in the areas A and A+1.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a mechanically and chemically
embossed surface covering having selectively textured surfaces. The method includes
forming a web (19) coated with a wear layer (18). The coated web is heated to a temperature at
which the wear layer is cured, the foam layer (14) expands, and the pattern is chemically
embossed to form a surface covering having foamed regions and nonfoamed regions.
The temperature gradient of the surface covering is adjusted such that there is a
temperature gradient difference between the foamed and nonfoamed regions. A
surface texture is then mechanically embossed into the wear layer (18) and selectively set
onto the wear layer substantially overlying the non-foamed regions.
