Abstract: In apparatus and a method for measuring the thickness of a film (13), the film (13) is illuminated with a low coherence light signal that is preferably generated from a source (12, 100) including two or more LEDs (102, 103). The light reflected from the surfaces of the film (13) is collected and coupled to an interferometer (18). The slope of the Fourier transform of the output of the signal from the interferometer (18) is measured to provide a determination of the thickness of the film (13). In the preferred embodiment, the interferometer output is sampled at fewer than two points per cycle of the low coherence light signal.

Abstract: In a navigation device, the map information read by a map information reproduction device (4) is displayed on the display device (5), and an intersection which the vehicle approaches is enlarged. The enlarged display of an intersection is continued if the speed of the vehicle is not more than a predetermined value even when the disk is moving away from the intersection. A place at which the classification of road changes may be treated like an intersection. An exclusion key (95) may be provided for designating, during simulation, an intersection to be excluded from the enlarged display. During simulation, the vehicle may be slowed, or stopped when it is near an intersection to permit full examination. A multi-disk reproduction device (4) may be used to selectively reproduce map information from a first disk (41) for storing map information of a first area, and a second disk (42) for storing map information of a second area. If, in the state in which the first disk is selected, the vehicle moves to the second area, the disk storing map information of the second area is automatically selected.

IPC: F16H37/02
Filed: 1997-10-02
Abstract: In a neutral N control for substantially equalizing axial
forces to act on two pulleys (7, 9), a belt type continuously
variable transmission CVT (11) self-converges into the gear
neutral point (GN) at which the output shaft RPM (2) takes the
value 0. When the convergence is made to the GN point to
establish a no-load state, the CVT establishes a force F A  to
converge into a pulley ratio of 1.0, in which it is stabilized by
itself. A converging force F N  to the GN point and the force F A 
toward the pulley ratio of 1.0 are repeated in a vortex shape in
the load state and in the no-load state to establish a creep
force. This creep force can be modified by generating a force F O 
against the force F A .

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de modifier le débit binaire d'un signal numérique d'entrée comprimé, tel qu'un signal vidéo à compression numérique comprenant des données-image quantifiées et des vecteurs de mouvements relatifs à la compensation de mouvement entre des images fixes. Pour modifier le débit binaire du signal, la présente invention permet, dans une première étape, un décodage partiel du signal, y compris une séparation d'un composant incluant les vecteurs de mouvement. Dans une deuxième étape, la quantification des données-image quantifiées est modifiée de manière à changer la compression des données-image. Dans une troisième étape, les données-image modifiées sont réassemblées avec les vecteurs de mouvement pour produire un signal vidéo de sortie. L'invention peut s'appliquer à une vidéo presque sur demande dans laquelle le signal est multiplexé avec des versions temporelles dudit signal et le débit binaire du signal est modifié de façon à limiter le débit binaire combiné des signaux multiplexés à un débit pouvant être géré par le multiplexeur.

Abstract: A dual band user terminal (10) includes a controller (18) for outputting a BAND
signal for specifying operation in one of a first frequency band or a second,
higher frequency band; a single frequency synthesizer (46) that is responsive to
the BAND signal for outputting an RF signal in one of two frequency bands; and

in the first frequency band and in the second, higher frequency band, and a
dual band transmitter that transmits RF signals in the same frequency bands.
The dual band receiver includes a first receiver chain that operates in the first
frequency band as a single conversion receiver having a downconversion mixer
that is preceded by a first filter and that is followed by second filter, and a
second receiver chain that operates in the second frequency band as a dual
conversion superheterodyne receiver having a first downconversion mixer
preceded by a first filter and followed by a second filter coupled to a second
downconversion mixer followed by a third filter. The downconversion mixer of
the single conversion receiver is also the second downconversion mixer of the
dual conversion superheterodyne receiver, and the second filter of the single
conversion receiver is also the third filter of the dual conversion
superheterodyne receiver. The dual band transmitter includes a modulator that
outputs a modulated RF signal. When operating in the first frequency band the
input RF signal to the modulator has a frequency that is equal to the transmitted
RF signal, and when operating in the second frequency band the input RF
signal has a frequency that is equal to one half of the transmitted RF signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identification of cellular protein antigens to which patients with cancer, or patients at risk for cancer, may develop autoantibodies. The method of the invention involves the use of patient derived sera for the identification of the cellular protein antigens using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by Western Blot analysis. The identification of such protein antigens provides novel markers that can be utilized for screening, for diagnostics and prognosis of disease. The invention also provides for the use of the identified protein antigens in immunoassays designed to detect the presence of serum antibodies to the specific protein antigens in sera from individuals that may harbor such antibodies. The invention further relates to the use of the identified antigens as immunogens for stimulation of an immune response in patients expressing such protein antigens. The invention is demonstrated by way of example in which elevated levels of circulating autoantibodies reactive against a tumor specific antigen were identified in sera derived from a lung cancer patient. In addition, elevated levels of circulating autoantibodies reactive against several specific  beta -tubulin isoforms were detected in the sera of neuroblastoma patients.
