Abstract: A developing apparatus (1) for developing an
electrostatic image formed on an image bearing member (10)
includes a first developer bearing member (8) for bearing
magnetic developer to transport it to a first
developing portion (100), a first magnetic field generator (8')
stationarily provided in the first developer bearing
member (8), a second developer bearing member (9) for bearing
magnetic developer to transport it to a second
developing portion (200), and a second magnetic field
generator (9') stationarily provided in the second
developer bearing member (9). The first developer
bearing member (8) and the second developer bearing
member (9) supply the magnetic developer to the
electrostatic image on the image bearing member (10) in
the mentioned order. In addition a peak value of a
normal line direction component of a magnetic force (Fr2)
generated in the vicinity of the second developing
portion (200) is larger than a peak value of a normal line
direction component of a magnetic force (Fr1) generated in
the vicinity of the first developing portion (100).

Patent EP-1340473-A2 (EP)
Inventor: COX JAMES L
IPC: A61L27/50
Filed: 1995-12-28
Abstract: This invention comprises a method of using tubular material (200) to replace a
heart valve (118)(120)(162) during cardiac surgery. To create a replacement
atrioventricular (mitral or tricuspid) valve (120)(160), the tube inlet is sutured to a
valve annulus (121)(162) from which the native leaflets have been removed, and
the tube outlet is sutured to papillary muscles (126)(128)(170) in the ventricle
(112)(152). To create a semilunar (aortic or pulmonary) valve (118), the tube inlet
is sutured to an annulus from which the native cusps have been removed, and the
tube is either "tacked" at three points distally inside the artery, or sutured
longitudinally along three lines; this allows the flaps of tissue between the three
fixation points at the valve outlet to function as movable cusps. These approaches
generate flow patterns that closely duplicate the flow patterns of native valves. A
preferred tubular material (200) comprises submucosal tissue from the small
intestine; this can be taken from the same patient who is undergoing the cardiac
operation, to reduce antigenicity. Animal or cadaver intestinal tissue can also be
used if properly treated, or a biocompatible synthetic tubular material can be used.
This invention also discloses a properly treated intestinal tissue segment or
synthetic tubular segment (500) suitable for implantation as a replacement heart
valve, enclosed in a sealed sterile package (510).

Abstract: A cooking apparatus equipped with heaters and a
method of controlling the same. An aspect of the present
invention is to increase convenience of a user by
identifying a kind of an accessory, such as a wire rack
(720), a crumb tray (714) or the like, present in a
cooking cavity (708). Identification is based on a
variation in an inner temperature the cooking cavity at
an initial operating stage of a cooking mode. A control
mode of the heaters is then performed automatically
suitable for a corresponding identified cooking
accessory (714). A cooking apparatus is provided
including two or more heaters installed in a first
position of a cooking cavity heating food, the crumb tray
(714) is inserted in a second position of the cooking
cavity (708) and is used to contain the food in cooking
modes using the heaters, and a temperature detection unit
(522) is installed between the first and second positions
to detect an inside temperature of the cooking cavity
(708). When a temperature variation rate of the cooking
cavity (708) detected by the temperature detection unit is
greater than a preset value, the crumb tray (714) is
determined to be used as a cooking accessory, so an ON/OFF
state of the heaters is controlled to be suitable for the
cooking mode using the crumb tray (714).

Abstract: A harness bracket (10) comprises a first securement member
(12) and a second securement member (14). The harness bracket
(10) is arranged, in use, to be mounted to a carriage used
in harness racing or trotting where the carriage is pulled
along by a horse. A harness bracket (10) is mounted on to
two shafts extending from the carriage (11) in order to
secure a harness therebetween. The second securement
member (14) is movable relative to the first securement
member (12) in order for the securement means (i.e. a
securement plane or the plane of the harness) to move
towards an optimal plane for transferring the forces from
the horse to the carriage (11) through the shafts (15).
Accordingly, as the horse turns out of the line of the
wheels (60) of the carriage, the second part (14) of the
harness bracket (10) move and pivot to provide a securement
plane at an angle to the plane of the wheels.

Abstract: This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). Several of the SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected androgenic and anabolic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. Other SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. The SARM compounds, either alone or as a composition, are useful for a) male contraception; b) treatment of a variety of hormone-related conditions, for example conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Aging Male (ADAM), such as fatigue, depression, decreased libido, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, osteoporosis, hair loss, anemia, obesity, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, benign prostate hyperplasia, alterations in mood and cognition and prostate cancer; c) treatment of conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Female (ADIF), such as sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual libido, hypogonadism, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, alterations in cognition and mood, depression, anemia, hair loss, obesity, endometriosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer; d) treatment and/or prevention of acute and/or chronic muscular wasting conditions; e) preventing and/or treating dry eye conditions; f) oral androgen replacement therapy; g) decreasing the incidence of, halting or causing a regression of prostate cancer; and/or h) inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell.

Abstract: A three-phase monitoring system for detecting and dynamically correcting wiring
errors in an electrical circuit. The system includes a voltage divider circuit and a current
transformer circuit connected to three voltage channels and three current channels,
respectively. Samples of the voltages and currents are held in respective sample and hold
circuits, which are provided to an analog multiplexer. The analog multiplexer is
controlled by a processor, and is coupled to gain and filter circuitry, sample and hold
circuitry, and to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC is connected to the
processor, which analyzes the power factor for a given voltage/current pair. If the power
factor is outside of an expected range, the processor dynamically changes the addresses
assigned to the channels such that the data arrives in the processor in an expected
sequence.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a peeling method which does not
damage a peeling layer, and to perform peeling not only a peeling layer having a
small-size area but also an entire peeling layer having a large-size area with a preferable
yield. In the invention, after pasting a fixing substrate, a part of a glass substrate is
removed by scribing or performing laser irradiation on the glass substrate which leads to
providing a trigger. Then, peeling is performed with a preferable yield by performing
peeling from the removed part. In addition, a crack is prevented by covering the entire
face except for a connection portion of a terminal electrode (including a periphery
region of the terminal electrode) with a resin.
