Abstract: Un appareil destiné à supporter une partie du corps, selon un mode préféré de réalisation, comporte une pluralité n d'éléments gonflables Mi (i = 1, ..., n) disposés selon une configuration désirée. Chaque élément peut se régler individuellement à une pression désirée provenant d'une source de pression. L'appareil comporte également un dispositif de détection de pression qui détecte la pression dans chacun des éléments Mi. L'appareil comporte de plus un dispositif de réglage servant à ajuster la pression dans les éléments Mi selon un protocole consistant d'abord à gonfler chaque Mi jusqu'à obtention d'un état prédéterminé, à déterminer la pression Poj (j = i) de chaque élément Mi obtenu après gonflage initial, à déterminer la pression désirée PDi de chaque élément Mi selon une fonction Fi des pressions Poj (j = 1, ..., n) obtenues à l'étape (ii) de sorte que PDi = Fi(P01, ..., PDn), et à ajuster la pression de chaque élément Mi à une pression finale PFi qui correspond à la pression désirée déterminée auparavant pour cet élément de sorte que PFi = PDi = Fi(P01, ..., PDn).

A second silicon plate is cut to form several bridging elements, each having a metal layer on its upper and lower surface. Each bridging element extends transversely above tracks connected to different ones of the terminals. The housing is closed by a silicon cap having actuating tracks extending above the bridging elements, which form an electrostatic actuator with the metal layer on the upper surface of the bridging elements. When a voltage is applied to the electrostatic actuator, the bridging elements are driven down so that they contact tracks connected to different ones of the terminals and allow current to flow between them.

Abstract: The invention concerns a closure with a lock casing which can be mounted on a door or window and in which at least one bolt is displaceably mounted. The closure further comprises an engagement housing which can be mounted on a frame and into which the bolt is introduced in the closed position. A secure key-less lock which is easy to handle is produced in that, in the closed position, the bolt engages with an associated holding element provided in the engagement housing such that the bolt is prevented from being moved by the handle into the open position. In order to release the locking connection, an actuating member is provided which can be guided out of only one rest position against spring pretension. The bolt can only be moved by the handle into the open position when the actuating element is simultaneously held in its position in which the locking connection is released.

Abstract: To form a novel article of manufacture, a nickel or cobalt-based superalloy substrate is covered with a protective system resistant to thermal, corrosive and erosive attack. A bonding layer is disposed on the substrate and an anchoring layer on the bonding layer. The anchoring layer is formed as a nitride compound. The nitride compound is aluminum nitride in particular. A ceramic coating is disposed on the anchoring layer. The anchoring layer prevents transmission of diffusion active elements through the anchoring layer to the thermal barrier layer, reduces oxidation of layers therebelow and provides for good heat transmission therethrough.

The printer records an image by an interlacing method using only some of the nozzles (1-3 or 2-4) in each nozzle array. The nozzle block (1-3 or 2-4) in the nozzle array used for formation of dots is changed in every primary scan, and the amount of feed (L) in the secondary scan is varied with the change of the nozzle block. Both the nozzle block (1-3 or 2-4) and the amount of secondary scan (L) are periodically changed in preset sequences. The variation in amount of secondary scan reduces banding due to the accumulated errors in secondary scans. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Vehicle arresting beds, for installation at the ends of aircraft runways, are effective to safely decelerate aircraft entering the bed. The arresting bed is assembled of a large number of blocks of cellular concrete having predetermined compressive gradient strength, so that aircraft landing gear is subjected to drag forces effective to slow a variety of types of aircraft, while providing deceleration within a safe range of values. An arresting bed typically includes an entry region of a depth increasing from 9 to 24 inches formed of blocks having a first compressive gradient strength. A second region, which may be tapered into the first region and increase in depth to 30 inches, is formed of blocks having a greater compressive gradient strength. An aircraft thus experiences increasing drag forces while it travels through the bed, to provide an arresting capability suitable for a variety of aircraft. A protective hardcoat layer of cellular concrete of strength greater than the blocks overlays the blocks to enable service personnel to walk on the bed without damage. Arresting bed systems may be provided in alternative configurations, such as a bed formed of an aggregate including pieces of cellular concrete with or without interspersed pieces of other compressible material and covered by a hardcoat layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for assaying protein-protein interactions. Amino acid sequences of interest are inserted into 'bait' and 'prey' fusion proteins. The bait fusion proteins include a DNA-binding domain. The prey fusion proteins include a transcriptional repression domain. The interaction of the bait and prey fusion proteins is detected by the repression of reporter genes. The reporter genes have operator sequences to which the DNA-binding domain of the bait fusion protein can bind. The reporter genes are expressed unless the prey fusion protein interacts with a bait fusion protein at the operator region of the reporter gene. When a prey fusion protein binds to a bait fusion protein, the expression of the reporter gene is repressed. Compounds that interfere with the interaction of bait and prey fusion proteins may be detected by their ability to reverse the repression of the reporter genes.
