Abstract: The present invention relates to an iontophoresis system. A power supply circuit for applying pulsating voltages to iontophoretic elements includes an element selector and a potential difference generating unit. The element selector selects a combination of iontophoretic elements according to given timing. The potential difference generating unit generates a potential difference between a selected combination of iontophoretic elements by applying pulsating voltages to the iontophoretic elements at different time periods. When the system is in operation, the iontophoretic elements will not be kept at a certain potential and undesirable electrode reactions can be prevented from occurring at each iontophoretic element.

Abstract: Dicitrate cyclic diester (dicitrate) is a novel compound which is found in patients who do not exhibit symptoms or predisposition to idiopathic renal calculous disease. Dicitrate can be isolated and detected by novel chromatographic methods. Further, treating patients prophylactically and therapeutically with dicitrate cyclic diester can prevent or reduce the effects of calcification-related disease, including some types of kidney stones, or other disease or condition associated with the presence of metal ions. The metal ion complexing properties exhibited by dicitrate are also applicable to the use of the subject compounds as chelating agents and methods of binding, and thereby reducing, the amounts of metal ions in a substance.

Abstract: System and method for in situ testing of the leak-tightness of a tubular member, which tubular member may be a nuclear steam generator heat transfer tube. The system includes a mandrel insertable into the tube, the mandrel having a pair of spaced-apart expandable bladders surrounding the mandrel. A first channel extends through the mandrel and is in communication with the bladders. A fluid supply circuit is in fluid communication with the first channel for supplying pressurized liquid to the bladders so that the bladders radially expand into sealing engagement with the inner diameter of the tube. As the bladders expand into sealing engagement with the tube, a sealed annular chamber is defined therebetween bounded by the bladders and the inner diameter of the tube. A second channel also extends through the mandrel, the second channel being in fluid communication with the fluid supply circuit at one end thereof and in communication with the chamber at the other and thereof in order to pressurize the chamber with the liquid. A controller is connected to the fluid supply circuit for measuring the flow rate of the liquid flowing through the fluid supply circuit to the chamber. Any crack in the tube wall adjacent the chamber will allow the liquid to escape therefrom at a characteristic flow rate corresponding to the size of the crack. However, the fluid supply circuit maintains the liquid pressure in the chamber so that the pressure and thus the liquid inventory in the chamber remains constant as the liquid leaks through the crack. The controller, which is connected to a flow meter (720), measures the flow rate and pressure of the liquid flowing through the fluid supply circuit. In view of the fact that the liquid (i.e., water is incompressible, the flow rate through the crack and the pressure in the chamber are provided by measuring the flow rate and pressure of the liquid flowing through the fluid supply circuit.

Abstract: A male terminal metal fixture having a tab with a standard thickness is disclosed which is of high quality, although the fixture comprises a thin mother metal plate. The metal fixture is provided with a tab portion (6) which is folded so that each of longitudinal side edges is opposed to each other. The tab portion (6) is provided with an outwardly bulged area with a certain width (7) on the rear side along the opposed longitudinal side edges by means of a bulged process simultaneously with a bending process. Thus, the tab portion (6) can obtain a standard thickness. Moreover, the tab portion (6) is provided with an inward support projection (8) on the outwardly bulged area. The projection (8) prevents the tab portion (6) from being deformed at a hollow space defined by folded side edges (9) and the bulged area (7). Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a weight and a production cost of the male terminal metal fixture and to maintain the metal fixture to be of high quality.

Abstract: A method of solvent bonding surfaces together may be employed to secure cap (10) in tube (1). The method involves providing a channel (17) in a first surface (13) and an aperture (5) in a second surface (3). The cap (10) and tube (1) are brought together in such a way that the cap (10) is a snug fit in the tube (1). The close fitting opposed surfaces (3, 13) define an interface or a capillary gap between them for receipt of solvent. Solvent is injected into aperture (5) and thus into channel (17) and to extend beyond the width of the channel (17) by capillary action. When dried, the solvent provides an effective seal at this interface. The method allows for surfaces of components to be arranged in the desired mating relationship prior to application of the solvent. An example method is used to construct a cartridge for a toner composition to be used in a photocopier machine. Both components are made of compatible plastics to facilitate recycling.

Abstract: A pulse compression device is disclosed for generating ultra-short pulses in the femtosecond range. In the device, an input soliton is subjected to pulse width compression by propagation in a rare-earth doped optical fiber (3) having a gradually diminishing group velocity dispersion from an input end to an output end. The pulse compression is produced by the diminishing dispersion value of the optical fiber (3) as well as by adiabatic narrowing generated by a pumping light coupled, through an optical coupler, to the optical fiber by increasing the energy of the input soliton propagating in the optical fiber (3). By adjusting the light power of the pumping light, the pulse width of the soliton can be freely controlled.

Abstract: Un disjoncteur comprend une première section, et une deuxième section, avec des paires d'ensembles de contacts, fonctionnant indépendamment, dans chaque section correspondante. Dans la première section, au moins un des ensembles de contacts est construit et disposé de manière à interrompre le courant en passant d'une position normalement fermée à une position brusquement ouverte et en assurant un verrouillage avec les ensembles de contacts séparés. La deuxième section comporte un ressort d'extension de décalage pour décaler les ensembles de contacts de la deuxième section afin de permettre l'interruption du courant en réponse à une force d'ouverture soudaine, ce qui amène les contacts à se séparer momentanément uniquement et à retourner ensuite à une position normalement fermée. Les première et deuxième paires d'ensembles de contacts se séparent sensiblement simultanément en réponse à la force d'ouverture soudaine, et seule la première section réagit aux conditions de surintensité de niveau inférieur. Outre les ensembles de contacts, la deuxième section du disjoncteur est conçue pour fonctionner en n'utilisant qu'un seul ressort qui peut être fixé sur 'l'axe des Z'. D'autres aspects de la présente invention comprennent un déclencheur monobloc, un organe de retenue à vis pour fixer la borne de sortie ou la borne de phase, un système bimétallique comprenant un processus de calibrage amélioré et une borne de phase réductrice de contraintes associée.

Abstract: A sampling signal SPS of a received signal which is subjected to spectrum spreading is inputted to matching filters 12₁ to 12₄ and is compressed back. A spreading code of a desired wave is used as a compressing code in the filter 12₁, and a plurality of diffusion codes orthogonal to the spreading code of the desired wave and orthogonal to one another are used for compression in the filters 12₂ to 12₄. The outputs x₁ to x₄ of the filters 12₁ to 12₄ are multiplied by weighting coefficients w₁ to w₄, respectively, and the productions are linearly combined and outputted as a composite signal DCS. The signals x₁ to x₄ multiplied by the weighting coefficients w₁ to w₄ and the composite signal DCS are inputted to a coefficient control part 37, and the weighting coefficients w₁ to w₄ are determined by an algorithm which minimizes the mean power of the composite signal DCS under the restriction condition of these weighting coefficients w₁ to w₄.

Abstract: The N-degron is an intracellular degradation signal whose essential determinant is a specific, destabilizing, N-terminal amino acid residue. A set of N-degrons containing different destabilizing residues is manifested as the N-end rule, which relates the in vivo half-life of a protein to the identity of its N-terminal amino acid residue. Disclosed herein is a heat-inducible N-degron module. A heat-inducible N-degron module is a protein or peptide bearing a destabilizing N-terminal amino acid residue which becomes a substrate of the N-end rule pathway only at a temperature high enough to result in at least partial unfolding of the protein. At this elevated (nonpermissive) temperature, the heat-inducible N-degron module (and any protein or peptide attached at its C-terminus) is rapidly degraded in a cell in which the N-end rule pathway is operative. Also disclosed are DNA and protein fusion constructs, methods for screening for additional heat-inducible N-degron modules and methods for using the disclosed heat-inducible N-degron modules.

Abstract: Temperature control apparatus for controlling the temperature of an electrically heated moveable object such as an electrically heated rotatable drum. A temperature control mechanism, rotatably mounted in conjunction with the cylindrical drum and electrically coupled to the electrical heater, controls the temperature by controlling the flow of electricity to the electrical heater in response to control signals. A temperature sensor mechanism, rotatably mounted in conjunction with the cylindrical drum and electrically coupled to the temperature sensor, senses the temperature of the surface of the cylindrical drum and produces temperature signals indicative thereof. A microprocessor, non-rotatably mounted with respect to the cylindrical drum, controls the temperature of the electrically heated drum by generating the control signals in response to the temperature signals. An optical mechanism, coupled to the temperature control means, the temperature sensor means and the microprocessor means, optically couples the temperature signals from the rotating temperature sensor means to the non-rotating microprocessor means and optically couples the control signals from the non-rotating microprocessor means to the rotating temperature control means.
