Abstract: A joint comprising a main seal, a secondary seal and an external pressure test port providing access to a cavity between the main seal and the secondary seal wherein the integrity of the main seal can be tested in its in-service direction by applying pressure to the cavity via the pressure test port such that the cavity is pressurised and the main seal is tested. Following testing of the main seal, the secondary seal may become redundant during normal use of the joint. In some embodiments, however, the integrity of the main seal can be retested at any time due to the reusability of the secondary seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter equipment (IWF), a method and an arrangement for setting up a data call terminating at a subscriber in a telecommunication network. In the invention, adaptation functions of two or more data services are integrated into a single adapter pool that has one common MSISDN number shared by all the data services. After the connection has been set up, the IWF does not try to synchronize itself according to any data service towards another network but it monitors a traffic channel arriving from the other network (ISDN, PSTN) in order to identify the data service used by the calling terminal equipment. After the IWF has identified the data service, it starts operating in the manner required by the identified data service and data transmission may begin.

Abstract: An automatic vehicle head lamp dimming system which includes an optical system and an imaging processing system. The optical system is configured to discriminate between head lamps and tail lamps and focus the light rays from the head lamps and tail lamps on different portions of a pixel sensor array. The optical system as well as the image processing system provides for relatively increased discrimination of head lamps and tail lamps of other vehicles and also enables the high beam head lamps of the control vehicle to be controlled as a function of the distance as well as horizontal angular position of other vehicles relative to the controlled vehicle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a filter comprising a frame (1) wherein is enclosed a filter body (7). A joint (4), for example in glass braid, is mechanically supported by shaping parts of the frame (1) Said shaping parts are preferably lips (2c, 3c) obtained by folding the sections (2, 3) constituting the frame. Thus, the joint is constantly maintained in place even after operating at a high temperature and when the filter is removed for cleaning the installation. Said joint, thus maintained, can easily be removed to be replaced if it has deteriorated or to be saved for future use when the filter and the installation are being cleaned.

Abstract: In a method of installing a computer operating system from a network to a computer and configuring the computer for use on the network or on another network, an installation routine is run which accepts an input of a build location and a delivery location, interrogates an environment database with the build location and the delivery location to obtain one or more build specific variables and one or more delivery specific variables, accesses the network using the build specific variables, copies a master installation script from an operating system installation source stored on the network, and modifies the copied installation script in dependence on the build specific variables and delivery specific variables to create a dedicated installation script. The computer operating system is subsequently installed automatically using the dedicated installation script. The installation process may also include the step of registering the computer with the network where it is to be used upon so that it is ready for immediate use at the delivery location.

Abstract: The brake comprises an input (1) and an output (2) piece. On the inside of a cylinder (3) the input piece has a part (11) rotating a corresponding cylindrical sector (21) of the output piece. Rotation of the input piece has a tendency to move away from a cylinder spring (4) whereas rotation in the opposite direction of the output piece applies the spring against the cylinder. The input piece drives the spring through a cylindrical sector (12) in such a way that during rotation of the output piece in the opposite direction it only meets the spring at the end of a certain rotation. Braking only occurs at the end of this rotation.

Abstract: A method for assaying binding between a fluorophore-labeled compound and an unlabeled compound is provided. The method includes detecting a quenching effect on fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore-labeled compound resulting from binding. The binding is specific and other than nucleobase to nucleobase. The method is conducted without separating complexes of the fluorophore-labeled compound and the unlabeled compound from the fluorophore-labeled compound prior to quenching effect detecting, and without providing a signal quenching agent to quench fluorescent light. Preferably, the fluorophore-labeled compound is a nucleic acid and the unlabeled compound is a protein. The method can be used for a variety of applications, including screening for drug candidates having optimum binding properties, and quantifying the binding affinity of DNA binding proteins for nucleic acids.

Abstract: A bidirectional steerable catheter comprises a catheter body, a tip section and a control handle. The catheter body has a tubular wall, proximal and distal ends, and at least one lumen extending therethrough. The tip section comprises flexible tubing having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen extending therethrough. The proximal end of the tip section is fixedly attached to the distal end of the catheter body. The control handle is mounted at its distal end to the proximal end of the catheter body. The control handle comprises a housing having proximal and distal ends. A distal piston is mounted in the distal end of the housing and fixedly attached to the proximal end of the catheter body. The distal piston is slidably movable relative to the housing. First and second proximal pistons are mounted in the housing proximal to the distal piston. Each of the proximal pistons is slidably movable relative between proximal and distal positions to the housing. The control handle further comprises a movable member capable of selectively and releasably engaging one of the proximal pistons to prevent slidable movement of that engaged proximal piston relative to the housing while allowing slidable movement of the other non-engaged proximal piston relative to the housing so that proximal movement of the housing relative to the distal piston and catheter body results in proximal movement of the engaged proximal piston relative to the distal piston and catheter body. The catheter further comprises a pair of puller wires having proximal and distal ends. Each puller wire extends from the control handle, through a lumen in the catheter body and into an off axis lumen in the tip section. The distal end of each puller wire is fixedly attached to the tip section, and the proximal end of each puller wire is anchored to a separate associated proximal piston in the control handle. In practice, proximal movement of the selectively engaged proximal piston and its associated puller wire relative to the catheter body results in deflection of the tip section in the direction of the off axis lumen into which that associated puller wire extends.

Abstract: A system and method for the detection and removal of copper from wastewater streams from semiconductor or printed circuit board manufacturing is described and claimed. The detection system and method involve the addition of a reagent that reacts with copper to quench the fluorophore present, with the decrease in fluorescence being detected by a fluorometer.
