Abstract: A specific, unique, natural biological factor that has the capacity to abate one or more of the toxic effects of TNF. This factor may have therapeutic potential in one or more of the diverse disease states in which TNF is known to have a causative role. The unique, approximately 27kDa protein is designated TIP-B1. TIP-B1, when purified and added back to TNF sensitive cells, effectively ablates TNF-induced cell lysis and TNF-induced apoptosis; cytolytic effects are central to many TNF-mediated actions. The invention includes a protein designated TIP-B1 purified to homogeneity. The protein has a molecular weight of about 27 kD. The protein is capable of inhibiting the action of TNF upon a cell, when said protein is introduced into extracellular medium surrounding the cell. The protein is free of sequences which interfere with normal cellular TNF binding sites and is free of sequences which directly bind to TNF. The invention further includes a method for using the protein for controlling TNF activity upon a cell.

Abstract: Disclosed is a stent and stent delivery system specifically designed for implantation of a stent at the ostium of a vessel. Such a system is specifically designed to be able to create and maintain patency of lesions such as renal artery ostial stenoses or bypass graft ostial stenoses. The stent portion of this system has an increased distal flexibility before expansion and an increased proximal radial rigidity after expansion. In addition, this stent may also have its most proximal struts able to be flared out so as not to "hang out" into a major artery such as the aorta. This stent can be combined with a specially designed stent delivery catheter which has a balloon with a tapered shape to allow increased expansion of the proximal section of the stent. This balloon can also produce flaring out of the most proximal stent struts. <IMAGE>

Abstract: When an input voltage rises, (the amplitude of) a sine-wave voltage for driving a piezoelectric transformer (1) increases, so that a detection voltage (Vti) rectified by a rectifying circuit (9) also increases. An output voltage from an error amplifier (10) for comparing the detection voltage (Vti) with a reference voltage (Vref2) rises. If the output voltage from the error amplifier (10) rises, a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit (11) decreases the duty ratio of an oscillation signal to be output. In a driving circuit (7), as the duty ratio of the oscillation signal decreases, the amplitude of a fundamental wave contained in a rectangular wave to be output decreases to be a small driving voltage to the piezoelectric transformer (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for automatic bundling of sheet material, in particular bank notes, having a deposit device on which sheet material to be bundled is deposited as a precisely fitting stack, a sliding device moving the stack of sheets perpendicularly toward a foil supplied by a device whereby the stack is partly wrapped with the foil and supplied to a transport device. The invention is characterized in that the transport device has two parallel, vertically adjustable conveyer belts between which the stack with its partly surrounding foil is clamped and transported to a banding device, said stack being positioned by the conveyer belts such that the foil is guided around the stack by the banding device and connected into a band, thereby obtaining a bundled stack of sheets. Subsequently the bundled packet can be pushed onto a transport belt with the aid of a delivery pocket.

Abstract: Synchronized execution is maintained by compute elements processing instruction streams in a computer system including the compute elements and a controller. Each compute element includes a clock that operates asynchronously with respect to clocks of the other compute elements. Each compute element processes instructions from an instruction stream and counts the instructions processed. Upon processing a quantum of instructions from the instruction stream, the compute element initiates a synchronization procedure and continues to process instructions from the instruction stream and to count instructions processed from the instruction stream. The compute element halts processing of instructions from the instruction stream after processing an unspecified number of instructions from the instruction stream in addition to the quantum of instructions. Upon halting processing, the compute element sends a synchronization request to the controller and waits for a synchronization reply.

Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress aliasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.

Abstract: In a method for automated grouping of objects, the objects are randomly placed onto a conveyor belt and transported in a steady conveying flow to a grouping device. A recognition device determines a location and a position of the objects transported on the conveyor belt before reaching the grouping device and communicates the location and the position of the objects to a control unit. The control unit evaluates the random ordered state of the objects on the conveyor belt based on the location and the position of the objects. The control unit determines, based on the evaluation result of the evaluating step, sorting positions on the conveyor belt. The handling device groups, taking into account the belt speed, the objects in a group on each one of the determined sorting positions on the conveyor belt. The groups of objects are then further transported on the conveyor belt.

Abstract: In a case of forming an image of a black ink (Bk) a low concentration colored ink (light C) having an opposite polarity to that of the black ink is added thereto in an overlaying manner. Then, the deviation can be made visually unrecognized for the low concentration of the colored ink even if the overlaid condition of inks is not within a predetermined range. In addition to an increase in density due to insolublization of the black ink, this increase in the density of the black image can be achieved within a range in which no change is recognized in the hue. More specifically, a relation between an optical density according to a dye concentration of cyan ink (C) or a thinning rate of cyan dots and permissible deviation to print quality is examined in advance, and the dye concentration or thinning rate of cyan ink is set in order to determine an optical density of cyan ink according to predictable or existing deviation on a printer. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
