Abstract: A flavored interproximal dental cleaning article (2) having an open, porous brush portion (6) with matrix particles comprising flavor particles encapsulated in a water-soluble matrix bound to the surfaces of the brush portion by a water-insoluble, matrix particle encapsulating hard, flexible polymeric film which is preferably a urethane polymer. The brush portion can integrally be connected to a threader portion (4) and/or a floss portion (8), and the threader portion (4) and the brush portion (6) can be further stiffened by a second outer polymeric hard flexible film coating which can be free of flavor particles. The cleaning article (2) is made by impregnating an open, porous brush portion (6) of an interproximal dental cleaning article (2) with a coating solution comprising a coating material dissolved in a volatile solvent. The coating solution has dispersed therein matrix particles comprising flavor particles encapsulated in a water-soluble matrix, the matrix particles being substantially insoluble in the volatile solvent.

Abstract: A process and apparatus serve for the treatment of workpieces (13) with a liquid (41), in particular for cleaning metallic workpieces for the heat treatment which follows the cleaning. The workpieces (13) are introduced into a washing tank (11), and the latter is then closed airtightly. A low pressure is produced in the washing tank (11). Furthermore, a direct line connection (27, 28, 29, 33) is established to a tank (40) containing the liquid (41). To fill the washing tank (11), the low pressure is set so that the liquid (41) is sucked into the washing tank (11). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Complex resource configurations often exist in multiprocessor systems. Because of this, competing access to a specific resource configuration by a plurality of processors results in coordination problems. The invention solves the problems by the fact that a central protection (security) table is introduced and that a processor has to leave its processor number there with a specific protection number, if it wants to obtain control over the resource configuration associated with this protection number. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer system having four states of power management: a normal operating state, a standby state, a suspend state, and an off state. The standby state is characterized by devices, such as a video controller and a hard drive, being placed into a low-power mode transparent to the operating system and the applications executing on the computer system. The suspend state is characterized by executing code being interrupted and the state of the computer system being saved to a file on the hard drive in such a manner that system power may be removed after the state of the computer system is saved to the hard drive. Later, after system power is restored, the state of the computer system is resumed by reading from the hard drive and loading it in such a manner that the operating system and application programs are not adversely affected. The normal operating state and the off state correspond to the typical on and off states of more conventional computer systems. The suspend/resume/standby feature is implemented at a low cost using many standard components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un dispositif de test du fonctionnement de circuits intégrés (CI) à haute vitesse, lorsque ceux-ci se représentent sous forme de tranches ou séparés de la tranche, comprend des première (14, 92) et seconde (12) sondes espacées fixées sur un élément-support (16) pour qu'elles soient positionnées avec précision en trois dimensions afin de venir en contact au moins avec un premier point (32, 34) et un second point (28), respectivement, sur un circuit intégré (CI) soumis à un test. Les première et seconde sondes sont interconnectées au niveau d'une partie prédéterminée de leur longueur par un condensateur (38) qui assure une flexibilité suffisante de façon à faciliter le déplacement indépendant des première et seconde sondes et à éviter d'introduire des paramètres (p. ex., l'inductance) qui interfèrent dans le test à haute vitesse du CI. Dans un mode de réalisation, la première sonde est une sonde de ligne de transmission (p. ex., une ligne coaxiale) et la seconde sonde est une sonde de type fil électrique alimentant en courant le second point du CI. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les première et seconde sondes sont des sondes de type fil électrique assurant respectivement un potentiel et un courant de référence sur les premier et second points respectifs du CI. Le condensateur peut consister simplement en un condensateur (80) du type à lamelles ou en un condensateur (24) en séries pourvu d'une bande métallique souple (27) possédant des dimensions qui minimisent l'inductance afin d'interconnecter électriquement les première et seconde sondes. Le condensateur sert à bloquer le courant continu et à faire passer des signaux à courant alternatif, si nécessaire.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which are useful as sunscreens. The compounds persist on the skin for much longer than conventional sunscreens because they comprise a Michael acceptor linked directly or indirectly to a chromophore. The Michael acceptor is capable of undergoing a conjugate addition reaction with thiol groups present in cysteine residues of keratin and thus the compound is chemically bound to the skin and will not be removed by immersion in water.

Abstract: An antibody specific for a target analyte is purified by affinity chromatography on a substrate bearing a low-affinity analogue of the target analyte. The antibody is displaced from the substrate by contact with a second analogue of intermediate affinity, which remains complexed with the antibody. This complex can be used in a conventional assay for the target analyte, which displaces the intermediate-affinity analogue. The complexed antibody is rendered more storage-stable because the second analogue protects the antibody binding reagion.

Abstract: An efficient package sorting system (100) in which a stationary matrix (300) of multi-directional conveyor cells (30-37) sorts packages to a plurality of destination locations (500). In a preferred embodiment, the matrix delivers sorted packages to a plurality of lift assemblies (400) that further transfer the packages to receiving conveyors or chutes (160) on different levels. According to another preferred aspect of the system, a selectively elevating stop bar (50) is provided to control side transfer between conveyor cells. A controller (180) is operative to plan a path for each of the objects from the input cell (30) to a destination location, to monitor availability of successive conveyor cells along the path, and to cause an object to be moved to the next conveyor cell along its path only when the next conveyor cell is available. The system may include a plurality of sensors (94) positioned to sense the passage of objects from one conveyor cell to another, the sensors being connected to the controller. The sensor input is used to guide the packages through the matrix, and to optimize the speed at which a plurality of packages can be sorted.
