Abstract: A system for detecting imperfections of one planar surface (17) of a disc-shaped glass master (1) and rotating the glass master (1) beneath an illumination source (9) and a video camera (15) or other device for receiving light from the illumination source (9) that reflects from the surface (17) under study. The camera (15) is oriented to receive illumination reflected only from an imperfectly flat portion of the surface (17) being inspected. The camera (15) has optics with a depth of focus less than the thickness of the glass master (1). The signal received by the camera (15) is processed by a template algorithm to compare the light level received with that from an assumed flat portion of the disc (1). If a significant discrepancy is found between the light reflected from different radii, the disc (1) is rejected.

Abstract: In the system of the invention, a user provides inputs at a user interface (51). The user's inputs relate to the expected type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Alternatively, the system may already have information stored as to the type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) to be used with particular correspondents. Based on the type of delivery (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for each item of correspondence, whether the delivery will be by physical delivery of a printed document (2, 3, 4), by fax (5) or by e-mail (6). The system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) further determines for each item of correspondence, which is to be delivered by physical delivery a printed document (2, 3, 4), whether an envelope (10, 11) is required and if the address information is to be printed on the envelope or on a label (12) that is to be applied to the envelope. Further in the case of an item of correspondence, which is to be delivered by physical delivery a postage indicia is printed on the envelope or on a label (12) that is to be applied to the envelope. If the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for an item of correspondence that the delivery will be by fax (5), then the correspondence is sent using fax (55). If the system (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55) determines for an item of correspondence that the delivery will be by e-mail (6), then the correspondence is sent using SMTP server (54).

Abstract: A coupling piece for carrying out digital transmissions between an electrical interface of a first device and an electrical interface of a second device. The devices each use different voltage levels for distinguishing between the two logical states "high" and "low". An internal circuit is provided for converting the voltage levels of the first device to the voltage levels of the second device, which correspond to the state. The higher voltage level is conveyed to this internal circuit by one of the two devices so that the low level can be converted to the higher level. The internal circuit carries out the conversions using a switching process.

Abstract: Processes for conjugating proteins with polyethylene glycol are disclosed. The disclosed processes provide modified proteins having little or no decrease in their activity and include the steps of deleting at least one amino acid residue on the protein, replacing the at least one amino acid residue with an amino acid residue that does not react with polyethylene glycol, and contacting the protein with polyethylene glycol under conditions sufficient to conjugate the polyethylene glycol to the protein. This advantageous retention of a desired protein activity is attributed to the availability of one or more protein binding sites which is unaltered in the conjugation process and thus remains free to interact with a binding partner ligand or cognate subsequent to the conjugation process.

Abstract: A drogue capable of being inserted into a water pipe and comprising a flexible bar in which are a pressure sensor, a battery pack, an electronics assembly and a magnetometer. The bar is surrounded by a bladder with an inlet valve at the front and an outlet valve at the rear. The drogue is attached to a suitable cable so that electrical signals can be conveyed to a computer to enable leaks within the water pipe to be identified and the position of the drogue identified. Also presented is a corresponding method which derives signals relating to volumetric flow for a series of locations in a conduit, in order to detect leakage and determine locations of such leakage, by measuring flow effects around a (moveable) large body and also measuring flow effects around a (moveable) small body at each location (the two bodies capable of being moved together thru the conduit at a set distance apart). The method is also practiced by measuring the differential pressures around each of the two bodies, as well as detecting localized turbulences, to derive information relating to volumetric flow rate at positions along the conduit.
