Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the operation of a multi-strand horizontal continuous casting machine and to a multi-strand horizontal continuous casting installation. In order to be able to accommodate as large as possible a number of casting streams when casting strands of relatively small cross-sectional area from relatively large quantities of melt in a very restricted space, to improve the temperature profile of the melt in the distributor and to reduce the expenditure on equipment, it is proposed that, in the event of malfunctions in one mould, the strand in the mould concerned is, by actuating the associated clamping device in the strand withdrawal direction, connected frictionally, although only if there is at least one backward thrust movement, to one of two clamping devices, and the second clamping device used to deliver the strand is disengaged from the strand during the withdrawal stroke. The installation is designed such that the distributor (10), with a number of pouring elements (14) arranged in the side wall (11) of the distributor (10), the number corresponding to the number of strands to be produced, is assigned to a mould (42, 43, 45), the moulds (42, 43, 45) are combined to form a mould block (40) in apertures of the housing (41) of the mould block (40), and the axes (49) of the apertures of the housing (41) are in alignment with the axes (15) of the pouring openings (14) of the distributor (10).

Abstract: A device for finding the centroid coordinates of a figure that can calculate the centroid from a single time measurement of the figure and display the calculated centroid of the figure. The measuring device comprises a main body having a roller capable of running in a single direction and a measuring lever pivotably supported by the main body so as to be rotatable right or left from the running direction of main body on a horizontal plane. In the measuring device, the main body has a display and a calculating circuit. The tracer of the measuring lever traces the contour of the figure to measure the coordinates, areas, and lengths of the figure. At the same time, the calculating circuit computes the geometrical moments of areas successively and sums the geometrical moments of the areas. Finally, the calculating circuit divides the summed geometrical moment of the areas by an area of the figure to obtain the coordinates of the centroid of the figure. The display is showing the differences of the current coordinates of the measuring lever from the coordinates of the centroid of the figure.

Abstract: There is a phenomenon that, when an epitaxial growth is performed on an uneven surface, such as a periodical surface or grating surface, having surfaces with different surface indices, p- and n-type layer portions can be simultaneously formed depending on growth surface orientations if an impurity such as Si or group IV elements is used. In a gain-coupling distributed feedback laser of the present invention, that phenomenon is utilized, and a current restraint layer, which includes alternately-arranged p- and n-type layer portions, is formed in the vicinity of an active layer. Thus, current is unevenly injected into the active layer, and a periodical gain structure can be established. As a result, a distributed feedback structure is achieved, which performs a gain-coupling operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a convenient and secure hemostasis of arteries at the puncture area after removal of an injection needle, etc. used for therapies or tests involving arterio puncture, or a convenient and secure hemostasis of veins after removal of an injection needle, etc. inserted into a vein for blood extraction, drop of water, blood transfusion, artificial dialysis, etc. 
     On one surface of a stretchable base material (1) having a strong recovery action, an adhesive layer (2) is formed, and a pad (3) is placed thereon. This pad has a thickness of about 8 to 20 mm and such a size that it presses both the puncture of the arterial blood vessel and the puncture of the skin surface, with an elasticity and a compression strength capable of pressing the arterial blood vessel. 
     The pad is put on the puncture area and the base material is stuck to the skin while stretching the base material whereby the pad is pressed tightly against the puncture by the shrinking base material. The puncture of the artery is thereby pressed and is closed for hemostasis. Further, the blood leaking out of the puncture of the skin surface is absorbed in the pad. After the hemostasis is completed, the pad is peeled off and removed. 
     A pressing plate (21) larger in size than the pad may be interposed between the base material and the pad, to press the pad more strongly against the puncture area.

Abstract: A method for the identification of agents which inhibit chitin synthesis, thus exhibiting potential fungicidal and insecticidal activity, involves the incubation of test samples in neutral  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  cultures containing calcofluor white, a fluorochrome that causes lethal chitin hyper-polymerization in the yeast. Cultures containing samples that inhibit chitin synthesis exhibit enhanced growth because the growing fungus is rescued from the adverse effects of calcofluor white. In the practice of the invention, the test sample is added to a  S. cerevisiae  culture or culture area containing calcofluor white and the culture is incubated with the test sample for such time under such conditions sufficient to observe yeast cell growth inhibition in a corresponding culture or culture area containing calcofluor but no test sample. The extent of growth in the culture or culture area containing test sample is then compared with the extent of growth in the culture or culture area containing no test sample, and the presence of chitin synthesis inhibition is determined by observation of whether culture growth in the presence of test sample exceeds growth in its absence. Preferred embodiments employ test samples on disks or in wells in solidified cultures and a known chitin synthesis inhibitor as a positive control which is compared to the test sample.
