Abstract: A method for modifying the human endogenous circadian pacemaker is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining the characteristics of a desired endogenous circadian cycle for a subject; selecting an appropriate time with respect to the presumed phase of physiological markers of the present endogenous circadian cycle for the subject during which to apply a light stimulus to effect a desired modification of the present endogenous circadian cycle of the subject; and applying said light stimulus at said selected appropriate time to achieve the desired endogenous circadian cycle for the subject. The method finds special utility in treating "jet lag" sufferers, shift workers, advanced circadian phase experienced by many elderly subjects, and those afflicted with delayed sleep phase insomnia.

Abstract: A dielectric loaded superconducting linear accelerator (linac) is disclosed which includes an accelerating structure formed of a cylindrical sapphire crystal having a centrally disposed passage for reception of a particle beam to be accelerated. A superconductive material layer, such as niobium, surrounds the exterior surface of the sapphire crystal. When the linac is operated at a superconductive temperature of less than 2 DEG K, the loss tangents of the sapphire and niobium are very low so that the linac operates very efficiently. The uniform shape of the sapphire crystal insures that wakefields generated by the charged particles as they pass through the linac will be minimized. The linac has a very high Q which enables it to store energy over a long period of time and reduces peak power requirements.

Abstract: There is provided an improved electrically heatable core (10) for an electrically heatable catalytic converter (50). The core is characterized by a plurality of corrugated thin metal strips (12) secured to an electrically conductive central core (14) or tube. Alternating with the corrugated thin metal strips (12) are narrow strips (16) of brazing metal in an axially staggered pattern. These strips are spirally wound and fused to braze them together in a unified monolith. A retainer shell (18) is supplied to hold the monolith together. The core is placed in a housing (52) fitted with insulated means (26) for conducting electric current to the monolith to effect heating. The housing is then inserted in an exhaust line where it is effective to control start-up pollution, and where the monolith is constrained against telescoping. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Carrier stock (10) is formed from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene, for machine application to substantially identical containers (12). The stock (10) is severable, along transverse lines (38) that are perforated, to form individual carriers (20) with container-receiving apertures (14) and additional apertures (16), as defined by band segments (30,32,34,36,42,44,46,48,52), and preferably with integral handles (60). The additional apertures (16) facilitate reconfiguration of the stock (10) from an as-formed configuration to an application configuration. Band segments defining the container-receiving apertures (14) at each end rank at each end rank at each edge row include an outer cross segment (30), an outer edge segment (32), an inner cross segment (34), and an inner oblique segment (36). The inner cross segment (34) extends from the outer edge segment (32) to the margin of one of the additional apertures (16). The inner oblique segment (36), which may be slit to define a folding line, extends from the outer cross segment (30) to the margin of the same one of the additional apertures (16) in a generally oblique direction tending away from the outer edge segment (32) when such stock (10) is unstressed. The handle (60) preferably has bifurcated ends (62) with one foot (64) joined to an outer edge segment (42) and another foot (46) joined to an adjoining segment (32). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for avoiding interference between two messages in a mobile telephone system which operates on the time divided multiple access system (TDMA). The first message (RA) constitutes a request for the establishment of a connection from a mobile station (M2) to a base station (B1) in the system, and the second message (HA) constitutes a request for handover access from a second mobile station (M1) to another base station (B2) in the system. These two messages may possibly be transmitted on one and the same carrier frequency and their respective radio channels (RACCH and FACCH) may be confused with one another, causing the messages to be misinterpreted by a base station (B1). According to the method, a given data field of each message is coded so that the data field (HNR) of the one message will not assume the same code combination as the data field (CA) of the other message. The method can also be applied such that the two messages (HA1, HA2) concerning handover access or two messages concerning random access request can be distinguished one from the other. <IMAGE>

Abstract: On fabrique un supraconducteur par l'intermédiaire d'étapes de combinaison d'une pluralité de couches de feuilles de métal, afin de constituer une structure composite. Les feuilles se composent de métaux de transition purs tels le niobium, le titane, le zirconium ou le vanadium, ou leurs alliages, à partir desquels on constitue des feuilles alternées. La structure composite obtenue subit une réduction mécanique suffisante, de manière que chaque feuille de métal de transition soit d'une épaisseur inférieure à 1000 Å. Au cours de la réduction, on soumet le composite à des températures suffisantess pendant des durées suffisantes, de manière que les couches de métal de transition subissent une réaction au moins partielle, afin de constituer un matériau supraconducteur ductile entre les couches de métal de transition. Quelques-unes des couches de métal de transition ne subissent pas une réaction suffisante et restent non supraconductrices. Ces couches non soumises à une réaction permettent un pinning de flux efficace à l'intérieur du composite, quand les couches sont réduites à leur dimension finale inférieure à 1000 Å. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, on peut utiliser des poudres et des filaments à la place des couches initiales. On peut constituer des alliages supraconducteurs binaires ou ternaires.
