Abstract: This tire is equipped with a carcass (6) made of organic fiber cords arranged in a radial direction and the radius of curvature (RT1) of its tread surface when the tire is fitted to a standard rim (10) and one tenth of a standard inner pressure is applied thereto and the radius of curvature (RT2) of the tread surface when the standard inner pressure is applied satisfy the relation: 1.10 RT2/RT1 1.40. Moreover, the radius of curvature (RC1) at the time of the 10 % pressure and the radius of curvature (RC2) at the time of the standard pressure at the shoulder portion of the carcass satisfy the relation: 0.65 RC2/RC1 0.85. This arrangement improves in a good proportion various performances of the tire such as wear resistance, fuel consumption, and so forth. The method of producing the radial tire for passenger cars in the present invention is characterized in that the inner carcass profile of a vulcanization mold (20) is set so that the maximum width (WA) of the carcass (6A) is set to a value greater than the maximum width (WB) of the carcass (6B) as determined based on a natural equilibrium shape theory while the height (HA) of the position (CA) of the maximum width (WA) of the carcass (6A) is set to a value smaller than the height (HB) of the position (CB) of the maximum width (WB) of the carcass (6B) determined based on the natural equilibrium shape theory. The tire is vulcanized and molded on the basis of this profile.

Title: Method for measuring hemoglobin content
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1988-08-02
Granted: 1992-01-22
Abstract: A whole blood sample is placed in a tube such as a capillary tube, with a plastic float. The float is axially elongated and has a specific gravity which causes it to float in the packed red blood cells when the sample is centrifuged in the tube. The hemoglobin concentration of the packed red blood cells is measured by measuring the depth that the float sinks into the red cell layer, and then the hemoglobin concentration of the blood is calculated. The hemoglobin can be measured in this manner because virtually the only red cell component which contributes density to the red cells is the hemoglobin. The hemoglobin concentration of the whole blood is calculated by multiplying the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration of the packed red blood cells by the packed cell volume % (hematocrit) of the whole blood. All of the necessary calculations may be performed by a preprogramed microprocessor.

Granted: 1993-08-11
Abstract: A method for suppressing interference signals during operation of ultrasonic proximity transducers suppresses the interference signals that are generated by continuous noises. Repeated ultrasonic pulses are transmitted from an ultrasonic proximity transducer, and the received signals are scanned. The scanned values of the received signal are converted into digital values. After storage, the digital values are compared with a step function having one or more step sections of constant value serving as a time-dependent interference noise threshold so that the usable echo signal can be determined and separated from the interference signals. With further evaluation, the echo transit time of the usable echo signal is determined and provided to a control and evaluation unit. By suppressing continuous noises, and further suppressing stochastic interference signals, the usable echo signal is reliably filtered from a reception signal that is overlaid with interference signals.

Abstract: A system and method are described for achieving a high efficiency, full color display using color sensitive lenses such as holographic lenses. A lens assembly is composed of discrete lens elements (1, 2, 3) which are sensitive to different wavelengths bands of light. Each lens element (1, 2, 3) focuses input light within its waveband onto a corresponding target area, and generally transmits input light outside of its waveband. A separate target area (R, G, B) is provided for each lens element, whereby incoming light is divided into its constituent colors. The separate color stripes (R, G, B) may then be operated upon to produce a desired display. For incoming light which is to be divided into n different wavebands and directed onto separate target areas each having an area A, the area of each lens element is approximately nA, and each lens overlaps the next adjacent lens by an area approximately equal to (n-1)A. By generally transmitting rather than absorbing light outside the band of each lens element, the assembly achieves a high degree of both efficiency and resolution. Specific applications to various types of flat-panel displays and light valves are disclosed, as well as preferred fabrication techniques for the holographic lenses.

Title: Process and apparatus for etching substrates with a low-pressure discharge assisted by a magnetic field
IPC: C23C14/02
Filed: 1989-10-24
Granted: 1992-09-16
Abstract: An etching method whereby a sufficiently high etching rate is attained, in a uniform surface treatment that is very gentle on projecting edges of the substrates. Also the substrates are held at or brought to a sufficiently high temperature by the etching process. The method for etching substrates with a magnetic-field supported low-pressure discharge is characterized in that the magnetic field is decoupled from the substrates such that the magnetic field strength at the substrates is less than 6000 A/m. In the space between the substrates and the magnet system at least one electron emitter is disposed at a location at which a magnetic field strength is present that is greater than the field strength at the substrates but equal to or less than 12,000 A/m. On the side of the substrates facing away from the at least one electron emitter, at least one anode is disposed with an anode potential of +10 to +250 V with respect to ground. An etching potential between -100 V and -1000 V with respect to ground is applied to the substrates. The ratio of the gaps between the substrates and the surfaces of the substrates projected onto a projection plane carried through the gaps amounts to at least 0.1. The potential difference between the at least one emitter and the at least one anode is selected so high that an electron current (primary and secondary electrons) flows through the substrate gaps to the anode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spectacle frame with a screw connection secured against unscrewing for mounting parts, in particular hinged parts. Provided for this purpose is a one-piece metal screw connection which does not lead to self-seizure nor to jamming of the opposing jointed rings nor, furthermore, require any plastic insert, i.e. can remain installed during soldering work. This is achieved when, given a conical angle of between 20 DEG  and 40 DEG , in particular 30 DEG , with an adjoining clearance angle, there is provided in a mounting part when the screw head is screwed in a differential angle of 1 DEG  to 3 DEG  between the screw head and receptacle in conjunction with a slim conical bore. As a result, in the event of strong tightening of the screw, on the one hand, self-loosening due to high friction is avoided and, on the other hand, too high a contact stress of the hinge rings is also avoided.

Abstract: At least one extra NMR measurement cycle is performed without any imposed magnetic gradients during readout and recordation of the NMR RF response. Calibration data derived from this extra measurement cycle or cycles can be used for resetting the RF transmitter frequency and/or for phase shifting other conventionally acquired NMR RF response data to compensate for spurious changes in magnetic fields experienced during the NMR data measuring processes. Some such spurious fields may be due to drifting of the nominally static magnetic field. Another source of spurious fields are due to remnant eddy currents induced in surrounding conductive structures by magnetic gradient pulses employed prior to the occurrence of the NMR RF response signal. Special procedures can be employed to permit the compensation data itself to be substantially unaffected by relatively static inhomogeneities in the magnetic field and/or by differences in NMR spectra of fat and water types of nuclei in imaged volumes containing both.
