Abstract: An adaptive cleaner blade lubricating system for electrophotographic printing machines. In an electrophotographic printing machine, the amount of residual toner available to lubricate a cleaner blade is calculated based on the density of the transferred image. A band of toner (94) is deposited in an inner document gap in selective widths so as to provide an adequate amount of toner to lubricate the cleaner blade (76) across the full width of the photoreceptor (12). The lubricating band may be variable or may be a constant width with the frequency of placement of the band determined based on average image density for a group of documents. In the preferred embodiment, the width of the toner band is varied as a function of the overall residual toner in each pixel location across the width of the photoreceptor based on the density of the images transferred. As a result of the varying lubrication bands, the cleaner blade is maintained so as to not tuck and cause streaking and/or damage while toner efficiency is maximized.

Abstract: According to the prior art, it is known to connect diaphragms (11) of cone loudspeakers to the loudspeaker frame (10) by means of so-called beads (13). Such beads (13) are predominantly formed from plastic or rubber and are connected to the diaphragm (11) and to the loudspeaker frame (10) by using suitable adhesives. This type of connection restricts the free choice of material of the abovementioned components because not all elastic bead materials can be connected to the diaphragm (11) with the required mechanical stability. The selection of material is restricted further if the loudspeaker is exposed to environmental temperatures of greater than 100 DEG C because the adhesive connections lose their strength under these conditions. This is why the invention is based on the object of specifying a high-strength suspension for diaphragms of cone loudspeakers. This object is achieved by the fact that the beads (13) are formed from an injectable high-temperature-resistant elastomer (silicone or fluoroelastomer) and that the inner edge (18) of the bead (13) is connected to the upper edge (19) of the diaphragm (11) by being vulcanised. Especially strong connections of diaphragm (11) and bead (13) are given when the upper edge (19) of the diaphragm (11) has penetrations (20) and the areas of the inner edge (18) arranged on both sides of the diaphragm (11) are connected to the bead material through the penetrations (20) in the diaphragm (11). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A novel carbon material is obtained by bending at least one carbon atom layer of graphite in at least one selected region along either, or both, of lines I and II in Fig. 1. The bending can be accomplished by scanningly picking the carbon atom layer(s) with a probe of an atomic force microscope or another scanning microscope. The obtained carbon material has at least one round bend having a width of 0.1-10 nm and at least one flap region having a triangular, rectangular or still differently polygonal shape in plan view. When the carbon atom layer(s) is bent with very small radii of curvature, a finely striped ridge-and-groove structure appears in the round bend. The physical properties of the obtained carbon material are uniquely determined by the direction(s) of bending, width of each bend, shape and size of each flap region and the stripe pitch of the ridge-and-groove structure.

Abstract: A surgical spinal retractor (10) comprises two arms (16,18) which define a first plane and means (12) for moving the arms (16,18) relative to one another and for holding the arms (16,18) apart against collapsing pressure. A pair of retractor blade (28) are attached to the distal ends of the two arms (16,18). Each retractor blade (28) has an angle arm section (30) between a retractor plate (32) and a connector section (34). The angle arm section (30) causes the retractor plate (32) to be off-set from the connecting section (34) whereby in use, the arms (16,18) of the retractor (10) are removed from the top edges of the wound, thus allowing greater latitude in applying various mechanical devices to the spine. The angled arms (30) enable the retractor blades (28) to be placed deep within the wound and thus apply distraction forces where they are needed the most (near the spine itself) to spread the muscles away from the spine and make it easier to see. 
     On either side of the retractor blade vertical fingers (42) project. The fingers (42) on the lower side project deeper into the wound and those on the upper side project up out of the wound. The distances between the fingers provide further lateral angulation of instruments used in the wound itself for the placement of the spinal fixation devices.

Abstract: A passively-multiplexed resistor array has rows and columns of conductors. Resistors span the intersections of the conductors, and one or more selected resistors may be energized by energizing the corresponding row(s) and column(s). However, other, unselected, resistors may also be partially energized. By adding additional rows or columns of "minimizer" resistors, the maximum power in unselected resistors may be reduced. The minimizer resistors are electrically connected in the passively-multiplexed resistor array but do not perform the function of the other resistors in the array.

Abstract: A modem which includes connections for both land lines and a cellular phone. The modem contains high and low level routines that allow it to perform standard AT commands rationally when connected to a cellular phone, and further perform additional AT commands that access cellular specific features. An applications software program in a computer connected to the modem can provide a number of options for determining whether to use the land line or the cellular phone when both are connected. First, it can default to the land line and only use the cellular phone if the land line is not available. Alternatively, it can first use the cellular phone and only use the land line if the cellular phone signal strength is not sufficient. Further, cellular file transfer operations can be aborted if the remaining battery life in the cellular phone is insufficient to reliably complete the transfer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dosage permettant de distinguer les patientes sur le point d'accoucher présentant des membranes intactes de celles dont les membranes se sont déchirées. La méthode consiste à prélever un échantillon de sécrétions cervico-vaginales chez une patiente enceinte susceptible d'accouchement imminent, à détecter un marqueur biochimique d'accouchement imminent dans ledit échantillon de sécrétions cervico-vaginales de la patiente, et à déterminer le taux de protéines dans ledit échantillon. Si le taux de protéines de liaison du facteur de croissance proche de l'insuline 1 (IGF 1) est élevé, la patiente présente une rupture des membranes. Si aucune protéine de liaison IFG 1 n'est présente, les membranes de la patiente sont intactes. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, le procédé consiste à prélever un échantillon de sécrétions cervico-vaginales chez une patiente enceinte après 20 semaines de gestation, et à déterminer le taux de fibronectine f÷tale et de protéines de liaison IGF 1. Un taux de fibronectine élevé dans l'échantillon indique un risque accru d'accouchement imminent. Un taux de protéines de liaison IGF 1 élevé indique que la patiente présente une rupture des membranes. Si la protéine de liaison IGF 1 est absente, la patiente présente des membranes intactes. Dans ce cas, le test de dépistage de la protéine de liaison IGF 1 est, de préférence, répété. Un taux de protéine de liaison IGF accru indique que l'accouchement ne peut être retardé.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and device for generating shock waves by spark discharge between electrodes which are intermittently fed with electric current in a fluid medium such as water. The shock waves are focused on the object to be shattered in a body. According to the invention, conductive, semiconductive or polarisable particles (15) are introduced into the fluid medium (14) between the electrodes (3, 4) and retained there owing to the fact that the medium (14) and the particles (15) it contains are accommodated in a casing (11) around the electrodes (3, 4), said casing (11) being permeable to the shock waves. A voltage breakdown in the form of a spark discharge is attained even in cases in which the distance between the electrodes has increased beyond an otherwise critical extent.
