Abstract: A bottle having a sterility seal and a method for producing same are disclosed. The bottle, which can be configured to retain a medicament in powder or tablet form, features a protective cap configured to engage a transfer assembly associated with the bottle. The cap includes one or more raised ridges on an interior surface engageable with a portion of the transfer assembly. A band or layer configuration of a sealing material such as silicone is applied to the transfer assembly prior to insertion of the cap thereover. As the cap comes into surface contact with the sealing material, the ridges cause the material to "roll up" into a toroidal O-ring configuration, thereby forming a seal between the cap and the bottle adapted to the dimensional variations of those components. The seal, which is resilient, is able to withstand harsh handling treatment and pressure or temperature variations without separation from the cap or bottle, thereby providing a hermetic seal isolating the transfer assembly and, hence, the medicament from the outside environment.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for effectuating local reception and processing of source program signals representative of a compressed digital multimedia program received from a remote multimedia server are disclosed. The multimedia server transmits a selected multimedia program as a custom ordered series of discrete program segments to a local set-top control system, which buffers and decompresses the compressed program segments for presentation on a local display monitor. A local set-top control system preferably includes a direct access storage device adapted to buffer a predetermined number of compressed program segments received from a multimedia server, some of which may be non-sequentially ordered and others of which may be sequentially ordered. A novel formatting methodology provides for the sequential presentation of the program segments asynchronously distributed on one or more data storage disks disposed in the direct access storage device. A user-definable presentation control window for performing local VCR-type presentation control functions for the portion of a multimedia program buffered in the direct access storage device is also provided through the novel formatting methodology. The novel formatting methodology also provides concurrent presentation and buffering of program segments received from the multimedia server for on-demand viewing of a selected multimedia program.

Abstract: A heat recovery unit (5) in which cooling water
absorbs heat generated in a water-cooled alternator (4) and a
viscous heater in which cooling water absorbs heat generated
in viscous fluid within a heat-generating chamber (54) have a
common cooling water passage. Further, a rotor (33) of the
alternator (4) and a rotor (53) of a viscous heater (6) are
disposed on a shaft to have a common driving shaft (10) and a
common V-belt. Therefore, cooling water pipes of a cooling
water circuit are simply connected, a large space is not
necessary for winding the V-belt of a belt transmitting
mechanism (2), and the number of parts of a heating apparatus
can be decreased. Further, because heat generated in the
viscous fluid of the viscous heater (6) and heat generated
with an operation of the alternator (4) are used as a
supplementary heating source, a sufficient heating capacity
can be provided for a passenger compartment even in a vehicle
in which heat generated in the engine (E) is small.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method and associated
apparatus for improving the fairness of bus allocation in
association with standard SCSI bus arbitration. The present
invention can provide for a plurality of time slots each of
which define a delay period following the SCSI specified
minimum period before arbitration is allowed to begin. Each
device which requires arbitration on the SCSI bus pseudo-randomly
selects one of the time slots before attempting
SCSI bus arbitration. The device then delays the associated
period of time before commencing SCSI bus arbitration. At
any time before the end of the delay period, if the device
senses that the SCSI bus has again become busy, then the
device has already lost the arbitration without actually
competing therefore. A second device, having selected a
time slot with a shorter delay period, has won control of
the SCSI bus before the first device attempted arbitration.
The time slots are selected with a probability associated
with each slot. To reduce the maximum added delay in
arbitration, heuristic methods are applied to reduce the
number of time slots and assign the probabilities to each
slot for use by each SCSI. A first preferred embodiment
assigns probabilities for up to seven SCSI devices sharing
four time slots. A second preferred embodiment assigns
probabilities for up to fourteen SCSI devices sharing five
time slots. The methods of the present invention may be
embodied in control programs operable within the SCSI
devices or in mounting components (boards, cables and 
canisters) which physically and electronically connect the
devices to a SCSI bus.

Abstract: To provide flexibility for a guided terminal belt (B), a roller
member (45) is used to feed a terminal carrier (T4). The roller
member (45) has a contact area (45B) to make rolling contact with the
carrier (T4). The contact area presses the carrier against an abutment
face (42) as the carrier advances in a feeding direction. Feeding is
performed when a terminal fitting (T) of the terminal belt is in a released
or disengaged state. This makes feeding possible regardless of the type of
terminal fitting to be crimped, thus, providing flexibility for the terminal
belt to be guided.

Abstract: A meter is used in conjunction with a hollow, frustum-shaped disposable
device to measure the concentration of an analyte in a sample of a biological
fluid. The smaller end of the frustum has a porous membrane, to which a
sample of the fluid may be applied. Preferably, a reagent in the membrane
reacts with the analyte to cause a color change. The meter has a frustum-shaped
distal section that mates with the device. The meter measures the color
change and computes from the change the analyte concentration in the sample.
The meter and disposable device permit remote dosing of the device, which
minimizes the likelihood of cross-contamination between the user and the
meter. Devices can be mounted on the meter and released from the meter
without touching them, to further protect against contamination.
