Abstract: An air conditioning system for a motor vehicle powered by
an internal combustion engine (1) has a first system for carrying out
a first cycle, which includes a compressor (2) driven by the engine (1), a
main condenser (3), a first sub-condenser (13) and an evaporator (14) which
are connected through pipes to form a first refrigerant circulation
circuit through which a refrigerant flows from an outlet of the
compressor (3) to an inlet of the same while changing its phase, the
first cycle causing the first sub-condenser (13) as a heater and the
evaporator (14) as a cooler when operated. The air conditioning
system has further a second system for carrying out a second
cycle, which includes the compressor (3) and a second sub-condenser (22)
which are connected through pipes to form a second
refrigerant circulation circuit through which the refrigerant flows
from the outlet of the compressor (3) to the inlet of the same while

Abstract: Galactosylhydroxylysine is a terminal degradation product of the
bone matrix which thus serves as biochemical marker of bone resorption.
A method of synthesizing galactosylhydroxylysine is provided. Antibodies
against this synthetically prepared galactosylhydroxylysine conjugated to
protein carriers were raised to establish methods to measure
galactosylhydroxylysine in biological fluids. The antibodies of the
invention recognize native galactosylhydroxylysine and are, for example,
useful in the measurement of galactosylhydroxylysine as a biochemical
marker of bone resorption in biological fluids. Testing of human serum or
adolescent urine resulted in dose-dependent increases in signal intensity
using the method of the invention.

Abstract: A magnetic head (30) has a printing surface (39a) facing a magnetic
display sheet (10), and comprises a yoke (39) in which a hole is formed in the
printing surface (39a) thereof, a magnetic core (37), whose edge is inserted into
the hole of the yoke (39) and which is magnetically connected to the yoke (39),
for generating a dot-shaped recording field, an electromagnetic coil (38) for
supplying a field to the magnetic core (37) based on a printing signal, and the
like. Since the diameter d of the edge of the magnetic core is smaller than the
diameter D of the holes, the difference between the diameter D and the diameter
d is less than 0.9 mm, and the diameter D is 2.0 mm or less, the expansion of
the foot slope in the distribution of the magnetic field can be eliminated. Thus
the distribution of the recording magnetic field is optimized to realize a high
quality magnetic print.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) produces compressive stress in a component surface (14). Positioning of a contact area of the component surface is controlled (30,32) to situate a contact area of the component surface relative to an indenter element (16,18). The indenter element is fixtured (12) to cause an indention at the contact area. The force of the indentation is measured as the indenter element contracts the contact area, and controlled responsive to the amount of force measured and the desired compression. The system allows deep compressive stresses to be generated without the surface damage associated with conventional peening.

Abstract: A system (10) for performing high resolution
measurement of frequency variations in multimode fiber
laser acoustic sensors having an end-pumped active fiber
sensor (16) emitting a plurality of lasing modes, wherein
precise frequencies of the lasing modes emitted are
dependent upon a strain acting on said acoustic sensor. An
optical fiber (14) is connected to the active fiber sensor
(16) for transmitting the lasing modes. The optical fiber
transmits the multiple lasing modes to an optical amplifier
fiber (22) where the lasing mode signals are amplified.
The amplified lasing modes signals are then fed through a
phase modulator (34) connected to the optical fiber for
applying a phase generated carrier on the lasing mode
signals. The output from the phase modulator (34) is
supplied to a receiving interferometer (36) having a
predetermined path imbalance for interferometrically
analyzing the frequency shifts of each of the lasing mode
signals, wherein the predetermined path imbalance is
matched with the longitudinal mode spacing between the
lasing modes of the active fiber sensor. A demodulation
unit (46) is connected to the receiving interferometer (36)
for receiving and demodulating the output of the receiving
interferometer to determine the frequency shift incurred by
the lasing mode signals, wherein the demodulated frequency
shift is proportional to the strain acting on the acoustic
sensor. In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of
active fiber sensors may be pumped by a single laser light
source with their outputs multiplexed together and fed
through the receiving interferometer for interferometric
analysis of all the signals.

Abstract: A composition and method for use in the peroxide, oxygen, or peroxide/oxygen stage of brightening pulps with less than 18 % lignin utilize a megnesium compound in a sodium silicate solution to form a higher percentage of high molecular weight silicates. Such high molecular weight silicates preferentially adsorb transition metal impurities which, if left in solution, would tend to decompose hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides. Hydrogen peroxide is added to peroxide and peroxide/oxygen stages, while it is generated, along with organic peroxides, during an oxygen stage. Decomposition decreases the amount of peroxide that actually reacts with lignin and generates free radicals that attack the desired product, carbohydrate fibers. The high molecular weight silicates can be formed by using any magnesium compound which dissociates to form Mg(OH)<+> cations, which in turn cause a silicate polymerization reaction. The formation of Mg(OH)<+> cations from magnesium compounds occurs most realidy over a pH range of at least about 8 and preferably between about 8 and about 12. The magnesium compound is added in an amount to achieve an Mg:SiO2 mass ratio of between about 1:46 to about 1:2, and preferably between about 1:15 to about 1:3.
