Patent JP-2702861-B2 (JP)
IPC: E21D21/00
Filed: 1992-12-18
Granted: 1998-01-26
Abstract: A tensioning rod (5) made of fibre-laminate, for use as an anchor element in foundation engineering or mining or as a reinforcing element for concrete in the areas intended for anchoring, is provided with continuous ribs (10) which are produced by embossing, run along a helical line and form a thread (9) and onto which an anchoring body (12) provided with a corresponding internal thread can be screwed. To obtain a radial pressure on the tensioning rod (5) as a result of wedge action, the angle of inclination (alpha) of the flanks (14) of the ribs (10) to the longitudinal axis of the tensioning rod (5) is less than 45 degrees; the ribs preferably form a flat trapezoidal thread. In an anchoring body (12) which is rigid against annular tensile forces, the radial applied pressure on the tensioning rod (5) is increased by the flat setting angle of the flanks (14) of the thread ribs (10), which leads to a greater depth effect and to a higher shearing resistance. By means of annular tensile rigidity of the anchoring body (12) variable over the length of the thread engagement, specific widening of the anchoring body (12) can be achieved at the point of high stress concentrations, with the result that a change in length of the tensioning rod (5) can occur. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing a malted beverage powder which reduces drying requirements. Malted beverage ingredients, which have a total moisture content of less than about 9% by weight, are introduced into an extruder and are extrusion cooked at a temperature less than about 150 DEG C. During extrusion cooking, an inert gas is introduced into the extruder and homogeneously mixed into the malted beverage ingredients to produce a gassed molten mass. The gassed molten mass is extruded through one or more orifices to provide an expanded extrudate which is then chilled to stabilise the expanded structure of the expanded extrudate. The expanded extrudate is comminuted to powder.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/FR90/00101 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 22, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 22, 1990 PCT Filed Feb. 13, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/10353 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 7, 1990.The method of the present invention is directed to information compression which allows for compatible decoding of a group of television signals with increasing resolutions. According to the present invention, a first step, at the transmitter, involves strobing the space frequency band of the signal to be transmitted which has the highest resolution into adjacent subbands. Then, the signal with the highest resolution to be transmitted is independently coded in each subband. The subbands are then multiplexed by separating the coded signals in each subband by means of non-imitable synchronizing patterns. At the receiving decoder, the signals received relative to each subband are decoded only taking into consideration those which are necessary in order to reconstitute at least one member of a resolution group. The present invention finds particular application in the transmission system for high-definition TV images.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP93/02689 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 5, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 5, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 1, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/08254 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 14, 1994A relative visibility measuring process measures and stores a reference propagation time of a measurement pulse over a reference distance between a pulse propagation time rangefinder and a reflector under ideal conditions. A reference amplitude of a measurement pulse, which is reflected by the reflector under ideal conditions, is measured and stored. An actual signal which is equal to the time response of the received signals of the rangefinder under actual conditions, is measured and stored. A determination is made of an actual amplitude which is equal to the amplitude of a time element of the actual signal having a propagation time equal to the reference propagation time. A determination is made of the ratio of the actual amplitude to the reference amplitude and comparison of the ratio with a threshold value which is dependent on the visibility to be determined. A comparison is made between the signal waveform of the actual signal with standard waveforms for various visibility states of the measurement path. The comparison results are logically linked in order to produce a switching and/or warning signal to indicate a visibility undershoot or a measurement disturbance.

Abstract: The present invention describes a biologically compatible bioadhesive sealant composition comprising fibrin glue and liposomes for use in mammals, including humans. Fibrin glue of the invention comprises fibrinogen and thrombin which are mixed together in various modes with liposomes and applied to a site of injury, to a wound, or to a surgical or nonsurgical incision or opening. In accordance with the invention, the liposomes are embedded within the fibrin glue after coagulation has occurred, and may release bioactive substances contained within their aqueous interiors to promote healing and protection during the recovery process. The bioadhesive composition of the invention promises to maintain hemostasis after surgeries and improves upon existing glues or gel formulations due to its complete biological compatibility, its formation in situ, and its provision of bioactive therapeutics via entrapped liposomes directly to the site. Long-lasting biophysical and biomechanical properties as well as therapeutic value are imparted to the fibrin glue components by the liposome component of the composition. The biocompatible fibrin glue and liposome composition is also amenable for fabrication into films, coatings, or membranes for in vitro and in vivo uses.

Abstract: Para adaptar los modos de un codec para un canal de comunicaciones en un sistema de telecomunicaciones móviles, se dispone una unidad de retardo para retardar la adaptación si las condiciones de la comunicación del canal están mejorando, de manera que se selecciona un modo menos robusto que tiene una calidad intrínseca más alta, solamente tras un retardo. En caso contrario, la adaptación no se retarda. Esto puede reducir en cierta medida la cantidad de la señal de habla recibida, pero los problemas de desfase debidos al retardo del bucle AMR en los codecs de habla se hacen mínimos. En particular, en los codecs de habla construidos de acuerdo con la norma AMR. Se mide la calidad de la comunicación para proporcionar valores de calidad en ocasiones sucesivas de medición. Los valores de calidad son filtrados primero linealmente. La unidad de retardo comprende una pluralidad de células de memoria (X1, X2, ..., XM) en una memoria (810) para almacenar los valores de la calidad de las condiciones de comunicación del canal para las ocasiones de medición más recientes. Un selector (820) funciona de acuerdo con un algoritmo (825) para seleccionar una de las células de la memoria. El contenido de la célula seleccionada se utiliza para establecer el modo de codec.

Abstract: For measuring the concentration of a substance in body fluid, such as the glucose level in blood or tissue, a strip electrode (18) and a ring electrode (19) are arranged at the specimen. The ring electrode (19) is in direct electrical contact with the specimen while the strip electrode (18) is electrically insulated therefrom. The strip electrode (18) is arranged parallel to an arm or a leg for obtaining a large interaction length. The electrodes (18, 19) form a capacitor in a resonant circuit. A modulated voltage in the MHz range close to or at the resonance frequency is applied to the electrodes and the response of the body fluid is measured. This design allows a measurement of high accuracy.

Abstract: An ECC block is constituted by RS(248,216,33). Of a data length of 216 bytes (symbols), only 16 bytes are allocated to BCA data and the remaining 200 bytes are used for fixed data having a predetermined value. Using the fixed data of 200 bytes and the BCA data of 16 bytes, parities of 32 bytes (symbols) are calculated. Only the BCA data of 16 bytes and the parities of the former 16 bytes of the 32-byte parities, that is, a total of 32 bytes only, are recorded in a burst cutting area of an optical disc. In decoding, error correction processing is carried out by using the fixed data of 200 bytes. The unrecorded parities of 16 bytes are processed as having been erased. Thus, the error correction capability in a burst cutting area of an optical disc can be improved.
