Abstract: A prism-based cytometry excitation optics system redirects, shapes and combines plural beams provided by light sources, so they can be focused by an objective into closely spaced spots within the channel of a cytometry flow cell. The mounted set of dispersive prisms redirect beams of different wavelengths so that beams with separated inputs emerge from the final prism, substantially overlapping in position and nearly parallel to one another. Preferred embodiments having a mounted set of four distinct isosceles triangular prisms are described with particular orientations and positions, but the specific design parameters may vary depending on the choice of beam wavelengths, spot separations in the flow cell, and choice of prism material. The prism system has inherently better thermal and long-term stability compared to mirror-based optics.

Abstract: The disclosures relates to a tube coupling comprising a
coupling body (10a) having a throughway (11) open at one end
to receive a tube (13), and an end cap (10b) in screw-threaded
engagement (20, 23) with the coupling body to move
between initial and advanced positions along the coupling
body. The end cap has an opening for the tube and an
internal cam surface (29) tapering towards the tube opening,
a collet (25, 26, 27, 28) in the end cap engaging the cam
surface to lock a tube in the cap with movement of the
collet outwardly of the cap and to release the tube when
depressed inwardly of the cap, and stop means in the
coupling body to limit movement of the collet inwardly of
the end cap. The initial position of the end cap on the
coupling body allows a tube to be inserted and locked in the
end cap by the collet and to be released by depressing the
collet inwardly of the cap and the advanced position of the
end cap holds the collet adjacent the stop means in the
coupling body to prevent release of the tube. An annular
diaphragm (30) on the coupling body is snap engaged through
the mouth of the cap into a slot adjacent the mouth of the
cap to define said initial position of the cap on the
coupling body and to allow said further movement of the cap
to the advanced position. The diaphragm also resists
withdrawal of the cap from the body.

Abstract: An audio-video program recommendation system 10 stores a list of preferred programs previously selected by a user. Each time the system is activated, the list of previously selected programs is compared with a separate, externally-supplied list of currently available programs, and recommended programs are then displayed in accordance with an algorithm based upon the number and type of previous selections by the user. To avoid repetitive recommendations as well as recommendations erroneously based upon misinterpretation of the user's pattern of selections, a dedicated signal means is provided to allow a user to identify, for storage, programs that the user has selected previously independently of the system. To enhance the system and the stored list or lists, if desired, an additional switch or switches may be provided to identify programs, for example, which the user specifically does not wish to be recommended. Signals derived from the dedicated switches adapt the stored record list or lists to reflect more accurately, the profile of the user's preferences.

Title: Marking machine for metallurgical products
Inventor: LITTOOIJ NICO
IPC: B44B5/00
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a marking machine for metallurgical products, more particularly continuous cast products, comprising at least one marking stamp and a striking device for striking the marking stamp into the product to be marked. The striking device is provided with a striking bolt and a striker spring driving said bolt. The striking bolt strikes the marking stamp that is placed in striking position by actuating the striker spring with an actuation element that is driven by an electric motor, thereby hammering the marking stamp into the product to be marked. Every time the marking stamp is subjected to the action of the spring, the stamp receives an evenly high kinetic energy thereby causing an evenly high striking depth of the marking. The spring in association with the electric motor drive enables fast, precise and easily controllable execution of the individual working steps of the machine. The ensures a high marking repetition rate.

Abstract: A despreading and RAKE combining section 107
despreads a data portion using all spreading codes
and RAKE combines the despread signal, and an
average value calculating section 108 calculates
average power values (RAKE output average values)
of all spreading codes from the RAKE combining
result. A threshold setting section 110 uses a
minimum value of the RAK output average values by
the plurality of spreading codes allocated to the
own station as a threshold setting reference value
and sets a threshold value at a position lowered by
a predetermined width from the reference value. A
spreading code determining section 111 performs
threshold determination between a RAKE output
average value obtained from the spreading codes
excepting for the spreading codes allocated to the
own station and determines the spreading code, which
corresponds to the RAKE output average value
exceeding the threshold value, as the spreading code
multiplexed into the received signal. A JD
operating section 112 performs JD operation using
the spreading codes multiplexed into the received
signal. This makes it possible to accurately
estimate the spreading codes multiplexed into the
received signal even when the number of candidates
for the number of spreading codes corresponding to
one common midamble is multiple.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the course of a drop in tension to be expected for a strip in a printing unit. According to the invention, essentially the same tensions are first adjusted without ink and without a humidifying agent, in a printing position in front of and behind the printing unit; ink and optionally a humidifying agent are then added; a value for the tension behind the printing unit is measured once essentially stationary conditions have been achieved; and on the basis of at least one of the pairs obtained in this way for the tension values, a fictitious course of the drop in tension caused by the humidity in the printing unit is established according to a tension, by means of linearisation of a tension-extension dependence, at least in sections. Said course can be used in a method for adjusting tension in front of and/or behind the printing unit.
