Abstract: The mat consists of longitudinal and transverse wires (2,5), welded together at the crossing points. It has two longitudinal edge wires (3,4) and two transverse looped wire ends. The longitudinal wires within the center area (Z) of the mat are at the same relative axial distance (a) and have the same cross-sectional surfaces. Edge areas on both longitudinal sides consist of a pair of parallel wedge wires (3,4) at a relative axial distance (c), which is smaller than the first axial distance. The axial distance (b) between the inner edge wire (3) and the neighboring wire (2) of the central area, is also larger than the first axial distance. The edge areas consist of edge loops (7). All wires are of warm-rolled material of high ductility, with even-numbered diameters, subjected to additional cold forming, pref. stretching.

Abstract: Antineoplastic dendritic polymer conjugates which are useful drug delivery systems for carrying antineoplastic agents to malignant tumors are prepared. The antineoplastic agent is encapsulated within the dendritic polymer using an ionic charge shunt mechanism, whereby, the antineoplastic agent interacts with the anionic functional groups on the surface of the dendritic polymer allowing the antineoplastic agent to be uptaken by the dendritic polymer through an association with the functional groups of the interior of the dendritic polymer. The antineoplastic dendritic polymer conjugates may be administered intravenously, orally, parentally, subcutaneously, intraarterially or topically to an animal having a malignant tumor in an amount which is effective to inhibit growth of the malignant tumor. The antineoplastic dendritic polymer conjugates exhibit high drug efficiency, high drug carrying capacity, good water solubility, good stability on storage, and reduced toxicity.

Abstract: A microphone includes a separate end cover with a sound port. A diaphragm is directly attached to the end cover. The backplate is positioned within the housing against a ridge near an end of the housing. A spacer is positioned against the backplate. The diaphragm engages the spacer when the end cover, with its attached diaphragm, is installed in the housing. The backplate of the microphone has an integral connecting wire that is made of the same material as the backplate. The integral connecting wire may have an inherent spring force to provide a pressure contact with the accompanying electrical components. The integral connecting wire electrically couples the backplate to the electronic components within the housing and transmits the raw audio signal corresponding to movement of the diaphragm. The housing may have first and second ridges on which the printed circuit board and the electret assembly are mounted, respectively.

Abstract: An edge or corner protector (10) comprises an apex portion (20) and a pair of leg members (16,18) extending away from the apex portion (20) so as to define an angle of approximately 90 DEG  therebetween. The apex portion (20) and leg members (16,18) are defined by a plurality of paper plies (12,14) which have at least two different width dimensions. Relatively narrow (14) and relatively broad (12) paper plies are alternatively arranged with respect to each other whereby the apex portion (20) and proximal portions (22) of the leg members (16,18) are formed by both the broad and narrow paper plies (12,14) whereas distal portions of the leg members (16,18) are formed only by the broad paper plies (12). In this manner, increased thickness and strength is provided within the apex (20) and proximal portions (22) of the leg members as needed, the distal portions of the leg members nevertheless facilitate mounting, positioning, and orientation of the edge or corner protectors (10) upon edge or corner regions of articles to be protected, and a substantial reduction in the overall raw material cost is achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method makes possible to keep particular e-mails separate from other e-mails and is based upon an interaction between a plug-in program in the user's e-mail client program and a separate mediating server. User's private address and e-mail service address are saved in the mediating server. E-mail client program is programmed to send all private messages to the mediating server. When a message is sent the plug-in program removes the original user given recipient address on the recipient field temporarily to another field, and replaces it with the address of the mediating server. To the user the message appears to have been sent to the original recipient. The mediating server receives the messages, replaces the sender's address with the sender's private address in the mediating server, restores the original recipient address(es), from the other field of the message, to the recipient field(s) and sends the message to the original recipient(s).

Abstract: The system carries out continuous in-vehicle data measurement and storage for subsequent processing. A given driving manoeuvre is sub-divided into facets and the measured vehicle data is processed to provide a local rating for each of the facets using empirically derived transfer functions. The local ratings are weighted and combined to provide an overall rating which is converted to a rating out of ten based on a further transfer function based on correlations between derived and subjectively observed ratings. As a result, driveability rating and engine calibration/development can be accelerated and targeted.

Abstract: A drop tube type particulate crystalline body producing device is a device for creating a substantially spherical crystalline body by solidifying a particulate melt of an inorganic material while allowing it to free-fall inside a drop tube. This device 1 has a melt formation device 2, drop tube 3, gas flow formation means for forming inside the drop tube 3 a gas flow of cooling gas, and recovery mechanism 5 for recovering a crystalline body 25a from the lower end of the drop tube 3. The drop tube 3 comprises an introducing tube 30, cooling tube 31, and solidification tube 32, where the cooling tube 31 is configured such that the cross sectional area thereof becomes smaller toward the bottom such that the cooling gas flow speed becomes substantially equal to the free fall speed of the particulate melt, and the solidification tube 32 is connected to the lower end of the cooling tube 31 and has a cross sectional area enlarged discontinuously from the lower end of the cooling tube 31. In a proximity of the upper end of the solidification tube 32, the flow speed of the cooling gas is rapidly reduced and the gas pressure increases, whereby a crystal nucleus is generated in the melt in a supercooled state, and the melt is crystallized at once. <IMAGE>
