Abstract: The hair brush (12) includes an elongated member having a handle segment (13) and a bristle substrate segment (14). The bristle substrate defines a cylindrical core having a smoothly curve, concave central region (16) and radially larger end regions (18, 20). A plurality of bristles (25) are attached over the bristle substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the bristles have substantially equal length such that the outer peripheral portions of the plurality of bristles define a smooth curve, concave shape complementary (50) to the concave central region (16) of the bristle substrate. The bristles are further segmented into groups of small bundles and these bundles are disposed over the peripheral surface of the bristle substrate in a series (31). Each series of bristle bundles are axially spaced apart in a common radial plane passing through the axial center line of the brush. A rectangular bristle substrate (70) with a concave shape (74) is also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling the initial start up of a radiant heater (35) used in an infant care apparatus. The system and method provides power to the radiant heater in excess of the 100% rated power of the heater for an initial energisation period of time to cause a more rapid heating of the heater. An initial power is set for the heater to adopt following the initial energisation and the system uses that power to determine the period of time that the heater is provided with the excess power and discontinues that excess power after the determined period of time so that the control of the heater is returned to a normal heating algorithm to thereafter provide the control of power to the heater. By use of the excess power upon initial energisation start-up of the radiant heater, the heater more rapidly provides heat to an infant being cared for in the infant care apparatus. In the preferred embodiment, the system and method is used with an infant care apparatus that can be converted from an incubator function to a infant warmer by moving a radiant heater (35) from a lower position where it is not activated to an upper position where the radiant heater is activated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Microsystems or micro-biotechnical components (1) are aligned, assembled, and dispensed onto a substrate (2). An image of a microsystem receiving region of the substrate is focused along hollow cones onto an image plane (23). The microsystem (1) is positioned within the hollow cones such that the image passes around it unaffected. A semi-transparent plate (24) permits the substrate image to pass therethrough and reflects an image of a surface of the microsystem which is facing the substrate to be reflected and pass along the same hollow conical paths to the image plane. In this manner, the images of the substrate and the micro component are superimposed. A mechanical device (11) adjusts the position of the microsystem until the images of the facing surfaces of the microsystem and the substrate are brought into preselected alignment. This device is particularly adapted for assembling electro-mechanical or micro-optoelectric mechanical modules, accurate setting of droplets on a biological micro-component (microchip).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau (10) d'accès radioélectrique (RAN : Radio Access Network)) et un procédé permettant un transfert rapide d'une station mobile entre un contrôleur (12) de réseau radio d'origine (SRNC :Source Radio Network Controller) et un contrôleur (21) de réseau radio cible (TRNC : Target Radio Network Controller ) dans le réseau RAN. Une station (16) mobile initialement desservie par le contrôleur d'origine (SRNC) accède via le réseau RAN à un réseau (27) amélioré de service général de radiocommunication en mode paquets (Enhanced General Packet Radio Service : EGPRS) afin d'établir une communication par commutation de paquets. Lorsqu'un transfert vers le TRNC est nécessaire, le SRNC informe le TRNC qu'une réattribution de la station mobile au TRNC est demandée. Le TRNC réserve les ressources de radiocommunication nécessaires pour desservir la station mobile dans le TRNC, et informe le SRNC que la réattribution est acceptée. Une interface (11) Iux peut être mise en place entre le SRNC et le TRNC afin de permettre une transmission directe de la signalisation de commande. Dans une autre version, la signalisation de commande entre le contrôleur SRNC et le TRNC peut passer par le réseau EGPRS. Le EGPRS lance une retransmission bidirectionnelle des unités de paquets de données (PDU) (44) à la fois à destination du SRNC et du TRNC jusqu'à ce que le TRNC l'informe que le transfert est achevé (45). La station mobile est alors transférée auprès du TRNC, et le réseau EGPRS est informé par le TRNC que le transfert est terminé. L'interface (11) Iux permet d'éviter de faire passer la signalisation de commande spécifique du réseau RAN par le réseau EGPRS.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a grafting process comprising the formation of a grafted polymeric structure having a substrate polymer in hybrid formation with one or more of the same or other polymers or monomeric subunits thereof. More particularly, the present invention contemplates a method of generating a homogenous or heterogenous grafted polymer by inducing or otherwise facilitating free radical formation to initiate polymerization of monomer units corresponding to the same or different polymers to a substrate polymer previously subjected to physical stress means. The resulting hybrid polymer may comprise a substrate polymer and a population of a second or further polymers in homogenous or heterogenous hybrid formation with the substrate polymer. A homogenous population includes a grafted population of the same polymer whereas a heterogenous population comprises a grafted population of two or more different polymers. The homogenous or heterogenous population may be in a random or patterned array and may be regarded, in one embodiment, as reactive or interactive centres for solid phase organic synthesis and binding of polymeric and/or chemically interactive molecules. The present invention also discloses a method to render polymers, previously regarded as not being suitable material for graft formation, capable of receiving a graft polymer in a heterogenous or homogenous fashion. Thus, the instant invention permits the production of a new range of hybrid polymer including copolymer materials and blends of polymers.

Abstract: A communications interface device (4) has circuitry for receiving digital signals in the form of characters according to a protocol defining that a communications link is initialized by a series of start characters, each having a specified duration. The receiving circuitry can assume a first state in which characters can be detected, and a second state in which detection of characters is not possible. Power consumption is higher in the first state than in the second state. The device can alternate the receiving circuitry periodically between the first state and the second state with a period shorter than the duration of the series of start characters. In each period the receiving circuitry assumes the first state for a time longer than the duration of a start character. A communications link is established if a character is detected. The power consumption can be reduced considerably without causing unnecessary inconvenience and time consumption for the user. <IMAGE>
