Title: Amplifier arrangement
IPC: H03F3/30
Filed: 1988-09-22
Granted: 1992-12-09
Abstract: The first (T1) and the second (T2) output transistor of an amplifier arrangement are push-pull driven by means of a drive circuit (10) having two transistors (T11, T12) which are each loaded by a current source (T13, T14). Currents which are a measure of the currents flowing through the first (T1) and the second (T2) output transistor are generated by a first (20) and second (30) current measuring means. These currents are applied to a negative feedback means (40) which controls the current intensity of the current sources (T13, T14) in such a way that the harmonic mean value of the currents flowing through the first (T1) and the second (T2) output transistor is substantially equal to a reference value.

Title: Method and agents relating to prophylactic treatment of autoimmune diseases
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1988-04-11
Granted: 1993-09-29
Abstract: Autoimmune diseases are the result of an immune response directed against a self antigen. Susceptibility to an autoimmune disease is conferred by antigen encoded within an allele of the MHC. A potentially susceptible individual is protected from developing the autoimmune disease by an antigen encoded within a second allele of the MHC. Individuals who have the allele for susceptibility, and lack the allele for protection are highly susceptible to manifestation of the autoimmune disease. The present invention provides a method for prophylactically treating individuals who are highly susceptible to an autoimmune disease. In the method, the individuals are tolerized by administration of a protective antigen encoded within the protective allele. As part of the invention, the sequences encoding the protective antigen(s), as well as the antigen(s) conferred susceptibility, are elucidated. The elucidation of these sequences allows for the synthesis of the antigens conferring these traits. These antigens may be used pharmacologically; in addition, they may be used to raise monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies to these antigens are useful in diagnosis of susceptibility, and in elucidating the mechanisms by which antigens control the manifestation of the autoimmune disease. In addition, the sequence data allows the synthesis of nucleotide probes which are useful in diagnosis of susceptibility to the autoimmune disease.

Title: Method and device for the measurement of visibility through a medium of varying opacity
IPC: G01N21/53
Filed: 1989-06-12
Granted: 1992-09-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring visibility through a diffusing medium of variable opacity, for example fog. This method is characterised in that the back scattering is measured in the direction (7) included within the range of angles along which, for the wavelength ( lambda ) specific to the light which is emitted, there is a tendency towards coincidence of all the curves of variation of the phase functions as a function of the angle ( theta ) between the emission direction and the back scattering direction, each specific to a fog of particle size different from that of the other curves. This method permits the use of an ad hoc device to obtain a measurement of the visibility of the fog, which measurement is independent of the particle size of that fog. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is an an inspection apparatus for a printed circuit board or the like for inspecting the shape of the soldered portion of a part mounted on the printed circuit board, and for judging whether the soldered portion is acceptable or not. In order to illuminate a printed circuit board undergoing inspection, there are provided three types of ring shaped light-emitting elements, which respectively generate red light, green light and blue light, arranged at positions to project this light, at angles of incidence that differ from one another, toward the surface of a body to be inspected. Light rays of the three primary colors emitted by these light-emitting elements have light-emission energy distributions with respect to wavelength that provide white light when these light rays are mixed, and the quantities of light emitted are adjusted in such a manner that white light is obtained. As a result, three-colored light images regarding the surface of the object under inspection can be detected, and it is possible to detect also peripheral information (part number, polarity, color code, various marks, etc.) essential in solder inspections.The present invention discloses also a method of teaching with regard to the mounted position of a part, the type thereof, and a feature quantity of the mounted state, a method of setting an inspection zone on a printed circuit board, and a method of displaying the results of inspection, etc. These methods are performed prior to inspection of the printed circuit board in the inspecting apparatus.
