Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a patient's psychotherapy progress is provided. Initial patient mental health is measured by administering a questionnaire measuring three psychological variables. The three psychological variable measures are combined into a mental health index (69). Following a number of sessions of psychotherapy, the patient's subsequent psychological condition is again measured using the three psychological variables. Patient session records (42) are stored in a large database (20). Patient progress can thus be compared versus patient initial psychlological condition, typical patient outcomes as stored in the database (20), and patient improvement as a function of a number of sessions of psychotherapy can be determined. The system further provides a case manager with a measure of the effectiveness of continued psychotherapy sessions, and a basis of comparison of various psychotherapy providers.

Abstract: A protective bellows has bellows turns (10A) each with a peak (16A) where faces (19A,20A) of the material of the bellows integrally meet. Each bellows turn (10A) is joined to the next bellows turn (10A) by a trough (18A). The face (20A) of each bellows turn (10A) which joins that turn to the next turn (10A) nearer to the larger diameter end (11) of the bellows is arranged to be almost coaxial with the bellows. Preferably, the diameter across the bellows at the peak of each turn is not more than 15% greater than the diameter across the bellows at the trough between that bellows turn and the next bellows turn nearer the larger diameter end (11) of the bellows. This configuration enables the bellows to be produced from thermoplastic material by injection moulding instead of blow-moulding. The particular configuration of the bellows turns ensures that the bellows can be removed from the injection mould with the minimum of stretching and without deformation.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for manufacturing an elongated metallic member (1) having at least one thickened wall area defined at a portion thereof. That portion of the elongated metallic member (1) is heated to a plasticizable temperature to form a heated area (5) while the latter is moved along the metallic member (1) and, at the same time, axially inwardly compressed to allow upsetting at the heated area (5), to thereby form a thickened wall area. A trailing portion (1a) of the thickened wall area of the elongated metallic member (1) immediately after the heated area (5) is cooled. The ratio (V/W) of a compressing speed V relative to the moving speed W of the position of the heated area (5) in reference to the thickened portion (1a) of the metallic member (1) is progressively increased from a small value, employed at an initial stage of wall thickening, along the metallic member (1) to an aimed value, employed at a steady stage of wall thickening, to thereby progressively increase a wall thickening ratio along the metallic member (1) to a designed value. The subsequent wall thickening is carried out while the ratio is maintained at said designed value for the steady stage of wall thickening. A method of connecting two metallic members (1) in end-to-end fashion and a method of connecting a beam to the metallic member (1) are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a granulated washing and cleaning agent, or a component thereof, the granulated material being roller-produced and its particles having a particular shape with an almost spherical macroscopic surface and a smooth microscopic surface as well as an almost monodisperse internal structure. The agent can be produced by a method in which, in a first stage, the powder-form starting materials are fed in and optionally mixed with liquid ingredients, the mixture then compressed in a second stage with the input of energy, and the resulting granulated materials compression-rolled against each other. The roller-granulation procedure is stopped by the addition of a finely particulate powder as soon as the particle-size distribution has reached the required maximum.

Abstract: Digital radio communication equipment which can prevent the worsening of the error rate of demodulated signals due to the equalization of the output from a digital demodulator (6) and can always receive radio waves in the optimum state regardless of the existance of delayed waves. A bit error rate estimation circuit (8) estimates a bit error based on demodulated serial data (S3) outputted from the circuit (6) and outputs the estimated results to a control circuit (20) as an estimated bit error signal (S5). The circuit (20) selects either the demodulated serial data (S3) outputted from the circuit (6) or the demodulated serial data (S4) from an equalizer (7) by switching a selector (9) in accordance with a selector control signal (S6) based on the signal (S6) from the circuit (8) and an electric field intensity indicating signal (S2) from a reception circuit (3), and then outputs the selected data as demodulated data (S7).
