Abstract: Armour, in particular body armour for female wearers is made of multiple layers (30) of penetration-resistant material for example madc of polyaramid fibers, specially shaped to fit over a shaped area to be protected, e.g. the bust of a female wearer. The armour's shaped part is held in shape by a series of darts (37) in successive layers (30) of the material. Each dart in a material layer comprises a generally V-shaped section (35) whose edges (37) are joined to form the dart. The V-shaped section (35) of the material is folded on itself to form a pleat (40) which is folded over to one side of the dart (37) to form an added thickness overlaying or underlying an adjacent part of the material (30). The darts (37) are angularly offset from one another with the pleats (40) oriented in directions so that the added thickness is distributed substantially evenly, thereby avoiding bulges or stiffness and improving the wearing comfort.

Abstract: An antenna system comprising a feed array, a subreflector and a main reflector which are oriented to define a offset gregorian antenna geometry.  The feed array is comprised of a plurality of separate feeds which are aligned on a predetermined contour. Each feed array is coupled to a feed network which acts to combine the illumination beams of clusters of a preselected number of feeds to produce a plurality of composite illumination beams. Each composite illumination beam is directed to be incident upon a separate predetermined location on the subreflector which directs the composite illumination beams and directed towards the main reflector. Each composite illumination beam is reflected by the main reflector in a preselected direction so that each composite illumination beam forms an antenna beam that impinges a predetermined coverage area on the Earth. Each antenna beam defines a separate coverage cell in the coverage area, wherein the position and orientation of the feeds, the subreflector and the main reflector provides antenna beams over a full Earth field of view coverage area where each antenna beam is approximately symmetrically shaped.

Abstract: A special Hi-Fi tweeter having a ring-shaped dome portion with a retracted central portion fixed to the tweeter chassis was found to present an objectionable drop of re-sponse in the 18-20 KHz range. According to the invention this problem is eliminated or minimized in placing in front of said central area a forwardly projecting, gene-rally conical wave guide (18) that will minimize interfe-rences between sound waves radiated forwardly and inward-ly from the ring shaped dome. An alternative solution is to arrange, in front of a wider central portion, a shield member directly preventing external radiation from the critical central area, still without changing the shape of the diaphragm. However, also certain modifications are proposed, which may well be used in connection with ordi-nary dome speakers.

Abstract: In known rack dryers, the drying effect is weaker in the outer area on the side of the air intake into the pipe chambers than in the other areas. Said weaker drying effect is caused by turbulence in this area, which leads to a drop in the static pressure.      The aim of the invention is to provide a dryer which ensures even drying of the goods across the entire width, even in the problem areas. The rack dryer is equipped with conductive bodies (20, 26) which are located on the partition wall (5) and which streamline the current in the area of the air intake into the pipe chambers in such a way, that a predominantly even static pressure prevails throughout the entire pipe chamber. The invention can be used for drying sandwich-type plaster board or wood veneer.

Title: Methods for preparation of lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agents
Inventor: MAURER NORBERT
IPC: A61K9/127
Filed: 2000-07-14
Granted: 2010-05-04
Abstract: Fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles of a charged therapeutic agent are prepared by combining a lipid composition containing preformed lipid vesicles, a charged therapeutic agent, and a destabilizing agent to form a mixture of preformed vesicles and therapeutic agent in a destabilizing solvent. The destabilizing solvent is effective to destabilize the membrane of the preformed lipid vesicles without disrupting the vesicles. The resulting mixture is incubated for a period of time sufficient to allow the encapsulation of the therapeutic agent within the preformed lipid vesicles. The destabilizing agent is then removed to yield fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles. The preformed lipid vesicles comprise a charged lipid which has a charge which is opposite to the charge of the charged therapeutic agent and a modified lipid having a steric barrier moiety for control of aggregation.

Abstract: Optical signal power levels for selected optical channels processed within an add/drop node in a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system are adjusted as a function of variations in signal power in an incoming WDM signal caused by gain ripple. In particular, a "ripple fitting" method is described whereby the optical signal power of individual optical channels being added at the add/drop node are adjusted to levels that correspond to the ripple profile of other optical channels being routed through the add/drop node. In this manner, the gain ripple in the WDM signal being output from the add/drop node approximately corresponds to the gain ripple in the incoming WDM signal at the node.
