Abstract: An instrument (100) monitors the coagulation of coagulable fluid blood, blood fraction or a control (514) by combining (101) the coagulable fluid (514) with particles which are affected by a magnetic field so that the particles become suspended relatively freely in the fluid. A time-varying magnetic field (2 Hz) causes the particles to be reori- ented as the magnetic field varies. The reorientation changes as the fluid (514) coagulates owing to the fluid's (514's) changing viscosity. An electromagnet (140) creates the time-varying magnetic field. The electromagnet (140) includes a core (150) comprising a first leg (148), an electrically conductive coil (144) for creating a time-varying magnetic flux in the core (150), and a return (152) for the time-varying magnetic flux. The first leg (148) and the flux return (152) together comprise a generally E-shaped core (150) of ferromagnetic material. A bobbin (146) is provided on the first leg (148) and the electrically conduc- tive coil (144) is wound on the bobbin (146).

Abstract: The present invention makes available a method for inducing neuronal differentiation and preventing the death or degeneration of neuronal cells both in vitro and in vivo. The subject method stems from the unexpected finding that, contrary to traditional unterstanding of neural induction, the default fate of ectodermal tissue is neuronal rather than mesodermal and/or epidermal. In particular, it has been discovered that preventing or antagonizing a signaling pathway in a cell for a growth factor of the TGF-.beta. family can result in neuronal differentiation of that cell.

Abstract: A prefabricated composite panel of the type comprising a supporting plywood board a foamed sheet of polyurethane and a covering layer on the front face of the polyurethane comprising a plurality of brick slices with an aggregate in the spaces between the brick slices which is bonded into the front face of the foam is improved in its fire retardancy by providing a plurality of vertical support metal strips on the inside face of thebrick slices at spaced positions across the width of the panel. Each metal strip includes a hanger element at the top which engages over a portion of the foam and a plurality of punched tabs each of which engages under a respective one of the brick slices. The support strips prevent sagging of the brick slices when heat is applied to the front face of the panel since that sagging can allow the heat to penetrate cracks in the covering aggregate. The fire retardancy is further improved by the addition of gypsum to the aggregate which reduces the temperature by releasing water molecules. A yet further improvement provides a reinforcing element in the form of expanded metal embedded in the foam sheet behind those ones of the brick slices which project outwardly at the sides beyond the end of the board.

Abstract: A roof flashing for establishing a weather-proof seal with upstanding pipes of different diameters includes a frusto-conical shape collar having smaller diameter upper and larger diameter lower seals for sealingly engaging different diameter pipes and an internal annular groove immediately above the lower seal providing a frangible wall section in the collar to facilitate removal of the upper seal from the collar when the collar is to be used to seal against larger diameter pipes. Immediately below the internal groove on the exterior wall of the collar is an external annular bead which together with the lower seal resist stretching of the collar when engaged by a gripping tool immediately above the internal groove and pulled to provide a relatively clean tear in the region of the internal groove around the entire periphery of the collar to separate the upper seal from the collar. The lower seal includes an upper wall portion extending inwardly from the inner wall of the collar that acts as a stop for locating a leading edge of the gripping tool in substantial alignment with the internal groove.

Title: Apparatus and method for limiting jitter caused by pointer movement
Inventor: GILBOA PAZ
IPC: H04J3/07
Filed: 1995-06-02
Granted: 2004-08-24
Abstract: Jitter is limited in the mapping of a first telecommunications signal into a second telecommunications signal moving in a first direction, generating a compensative payload pointer movement of the first telecommunications signal in a second direction which is opposite the first direction. The invention has a particular application to the mapping of three E3 (490a-1 to 490a-3) telecommunications signals which are in the format of a TUG-3 signal into an STS-3C SONET telecommunications signal in the STM-1 VC-4 format. When the STS-3C signal requires a pointer movement due to frequency compensation in the system, a compensative pointer movement at the TUG-3 level avoids eight units of fitter in the TUG-3 signal which could adversely affect system performance.

Abstract: Data are coded by means of a first error correcting code to produce first coded bits. Control data are coded using a heavily redundant second error corrected code and added modulo 2 to the first coded bits. Decoding is performed by ascertaining (15, 16) which valid codeword of the second code (when added to the received codeword) gives the lowest error count when the resultant is decoded according to the first code.

Abstract: A method for recognizing fixed size objects and allocating and freeing fixed size data objects in a multiple heap system.  The method utilizes a page based structure for allocating fixed size objects.  A page or pool of pages is provided for each predetermined object  size.   Each page includes a reserved area for storing heap handle and object size information which is common to all the objects of the predetermined size for the page.  Allocation and de-allocation requests are performed based on the object size.  The reserved area in the page includes a recognizable sanity value and the object size for the page.  The sanity value denotes a fixed size object.  The reserved area also stores two pointers to keep track of a linked list of available and free objects. The remainder of the page is used for the objects.  For a de-allocation  request,  the  page  containing  the  object  is determined from the address of the object.

Chaque flanc de dent théoriquement correct est représenté par une grille matrice comprenant une pluralité d'éléments de grille. Les flancs de dent théoriquement corrects sont superposés sur l'image des flancs réels et respectifs de la dent, afin de faire correspondre ces flancs réels avec les flancs respectifs théoriquement corrects. Puis, on identifie (C¿28?, C¿30?, C¿32?, C¿34?) les éléments de grille de chaque flanc de dent théoriquement correct, et qui contiennent au moins une portion d'une image de profil de contact. On obtient une grille (C¿Total?) matrice de consolidation comprenant un nombre d'éléments de grille égal à celui des éléments de grille se trouvant dans la grille matrice du flanc de dent théoriquement correct, et on identifie les éléments de grille de la grille matrice de consolidation qui correspondent aux éléments respectifs identifiés de grille dans chaque grille matrice théoriquement correcte. Les éléments de grille identifiés dans la matrice de consolidation représentent une image (40) de contact consolidé pour chaque dent successive de l'engrenage. On peut ensuite transformer l'image du contact consolidé dans la matrice de consolidation, en une projection (42) axiale plane de la dent représentant l'image dudit contact.

Filed: 1997-11-19
Granted: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A housing of a compressor has a shutter chamber for accommodating a shutter.  The shutter moves between a closed position, where the shutter stops flow of gas from an external circuit into a suction chamber, and an open position, where the shutter permits the gas flow in response to the tilting motion of a swash plate.  A coil spring, which has a conical shape, is located in the shutter chamber to bias the shutter in a direction toward the open position from the closed position.  The spring is arranged to prevent the spring from sliding against the inner wall of the shutter chamber when the spring is expanded or contracted by movement of the shutter member.
