Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating a discharge lamp (L) with a substantially constant power PL by means of a switch mode power supply with variable input current Io and provided with periodically switching switching means (10) for controlling the variable input current by means of a drive signal. The drive signal generated in a drive circuit (V) is formed from a signal S1 which is proportional on the one hand to the input current and on the other hand to the lamp voltage VL and a reference signal. The circuit arrangement comprises means (IV) for generating signal S1. The power PL by good approximation thereby satisfies the relation    PL = VbIo - K2/VL    in which   Vb    = supply source voltage VL    = lamp voltage K2   = proportionality constant.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a device by means of which amounts won in gambling machines can be paid out protected against cheating, the relevant gambling machines not having their own pay-out device. The invention was based on the object of creating a device by means of which it is made possible to dispense with stored cash intended for winnings pay-out and contained in gambling machines and, nevertheless, to pay out cash winnings protected against manipulation. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that an additional key connected to the central processor is provided at gambling machines constructed in this manner, after the operation of which key machine-specific identification data and the final status of the winnings store can be output via a machine-internal device which is also connected to the central processor, or that any received winnings can be immediately output via the machine-internal device. Alternatively, the machine-specific identification data and the final status of the winnings store or of all received winnings can be output by means of a data printer or a device for writing into a memory card by means of which, if necessary, an authenticity check can be carried out before the winnings are paid out at a cashier's office. This check can occur both directly at the gambling machine and at a receiving unit close to the cashier's office after transmission of the data, produced and stored in the gambling machine, to this receiving unit. <IMAGE>

Date Jun. 24, 1993.A process and a device for injection moulding plastic cups having a label-shaped enveloping sheet integrated therein according to the inmould labelling method and comprising the steps of coaxially moving a male mould and a female mould into one another for establishing thus a closed injection mould and injecting then molten plastic through an opening into said injection mould. During the opening and closing movements of the injection mould, a suction holding mandrel is adapted to be moved to a position at which it extends coaxially with the male mould and the female mould, whereupon the whole female mould is divided into a base member maintaining its instantaneous position and an advancable part, which is moved so as to cover part of the suction holding mandrel for picking up the enveloping sheet and holding, it in position by means of a suction force applied through a suction gap and which is then moved back to the base member with which it will recombine so as to establish the complete female mould. Due to the movement of the female mould and the male mould towards each other, the suction holding mandrel is then removed from the interspace by a pivotal movement and the suction gap is closed by means of a force which acts between the female mould and the male mould and which presses these components together.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing system for delivering sterile preservative free solution is disclosed. The system uses double self-sealing valves mounted in series inside a tip compartment which fits on the outlet of a multiple dosage squeeze container to prevent undesirable retrograde flow of the dispensed liquid back into the bottle during the decompression cycle. The valves used are positive acting, normally closed duckbill valves which open to express solution from the container when squeezing pressure is applied to the bottle and which automatically close when the pressure is released. A hydrophobic filter is provided to sterilize the replacement air which enters the container upon release of the squeezing pressure.

Abstract: Absorbent article such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders and the like, that have improved dynamic fit as well as containment characteristics. The elastic waist feature preferably comprises an interconnecting panel zone, a first flexural hinge zone joining the interconnecting panel zone with the containment assembly, an elasticized waistband, and a second flexural hinge zone joining the elasticized waistband with the interconnecting panel zone. The elasticized waistband comprises a shaping panel zone; a waistline panel zone; and a predisposed, resilient, waistband flexural hinge zone joining the shaping panel zone and the waistline panel zone. The waistband flexural hinge zone is predisposed to allow the panel zones to flexurally bend about a defined axis or zone and is resilient to provide a restoring force/moment that returns the panel zones to their preceeding in-use configuration, especially when the elasticized waistband has been pretensioned by a closure system. The closure system dynamically creates/maintains lateral tension through the elasticized waistband thereby allowing the elasticized waistband to more dynamically expand and contract with the motions of the wearer. The absorbent article additionally preferably comprises a pair of elasticized side panels disposed in the second waist region. The elasticized side panels preferably comprise a "zero strain" stretch laminate and an extension panel. The present invention also relates to alternative waist features comprising "an expansive tummy panel" elasticized waistband. The absorbent core comprises an acquisition/distribution core of chemically stiffened fibers and a storage core.

Abstract: A soluble immunosuppressive factor present in serum derived from tumor-bearing mammals, is associated with changes in TCR protein subunit levels, T lymphocyte signal transduction pathway proteins. These changes provide a method of determining the level of immunosuppression in a mammal by determining the level of expression of at least one selected TCR subunit protein, a protein in the T lymphocyte signal transduction pathway, or of the NF- kappa B/rel family and comparing the level and pattern to that found in non-immunosuppressed individuals. The method is useful to identify patients having T lymphocytes capable of activation for immunotherapy and for identifying agents which cause or reverse immunosuppression. An isolated immunosuppressive factor associated with the level of expression of the proteins is useful for suppressing the immune response, for example, in organ transplantation.

Abstract: A subsynchronous resonance mitigation system, including a method and apparatus, for damping undesirable subsynchronous resonance oscillations in a generator, which, if left unchecked, may damage the shafts of a turbine-generator set. A remote coupling apparatus, such as a thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) system, a sourced inverter device, or a static phase shifter, is coupled to the generator by a transmission line. In response to a firing command, the coupling apparatus introduces subsynchronous resonance mitigating currents into the transmission line. Sensors monitor power line parameters and/or the generator speed, and in response thereto, a higher-level controller generates a voltage command. A vernier controller responds to the monitored power line parameters and the voltage command to provide the firing command to the coupling apparatus.
