Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-dimensional
micropattern using a hologram which can not be counterfeited
with color copying machines or diffraction grating image
forming devices. The three-dimensional micropattern
comprises a hologram composed of a three-dimensional
aggregation of a large number of very small micro-letters
A-Z or geometric micro-figures. The micro-letters or
geometric micro-figures are three-dimensionally aggregated
to constitute a three-dimensional object (conical object)
to allow reconstruction of a three-dimensional image of the
specific three-dimensional object.

Abstract: Closure plug for the sealingly and acoustically dampening closing of a hole in a
structural member made of flat material, preferably sheet metal or plastic material,
comprising a shank (12) which is adapted to be sealingly inserted into the hole, a radially
flange integrally formed to one end of the shank of resilient material, the flange
having a radially outwardly oblique or bent portion which sealingly engages an
associated surface of the structural member upon deformation when the shank is
inserted into the hole, the shaft being retained in the hole by an undercut cooperating
with the wall of the hole, wherein the shank in the area of the sealing engagement
with the hole has a sealing portion (32) which in the none-biased state has a smooth
conical outer surface, the outer surface having a diameter which increases towards
the flange at least in the area of the sealing engagement, the diameter being further
larger than that of the hole and that on the inner side of the juncture of the flange and
the shank a free space is provided which extends axially to towards the other end of
the shank at least up to the sealing engagement or beyond thereof whereby beneath
the flange an annular shank portion is formed and whereby the material of the
annular shank portion can be deformed into the free space when the shank is pressed
into the hole and the wall of the hole forms an annular groove in the annular portion,
the groove defining the undercut.

Patent EP-1326255-A2 (EP)
Title: Non-volatile storage latch
Inventor: GADBOIS JASON B
IPC: H03K3/037
Filed: 1999-04-14
Abstract: A non-volatile latching element is provided that includes one or more
magnetic elements therein. By programming the magnetic elements to
appropriate resistance values, the latching element assumes a preprogrammed
state upon power up. The magnetic elements are preferably
programmed using either a one or two layer word line. In another aspect of
the present invention, the magnetic elements are formed as pseudo-spin
valve structures utilizing only CoFe as the active ferromagnetic layers, with
one ferromagnetic layer thinner than the other. This simplifies the design
while maintaining the high moment material to achieve large GMR ratios.

Abstract: A fuel cell assembly (50) having manifold means for providing fuel
and air to, and removing spent fuel and air from, flow passageways
across the anodes (16) and cathodes (18) in a fuel cell stack. The sizes and
proportions of the supply (23',33') and return (27',41') manifolds are optimized, and the
total cross-sectional area of the return manifold is about twice the cross-sectional
area of the supply manifold. The pressure drop in the
manifolds is less than about one-quarter of the total pressure drop
across the anode and cathode passageways in the stack, which ratio
may be attained by adjusting the thickness of the anode and cathode
spacers (38') and/or the size of the chimneys. Widthwise uniformity of flow
across the anodes and cathodes is improved by forming each of the
manifolds as a plurality of smaller, parallel flow conduits.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, des dispositifs et des structures utiles en ophtalmologie. Les dispositifs et les procédés servent différemment à séparer ou à soulever l'épithélium cornéen de l'oeil, de préférence en une couche sensiblement continue, à placer une lentille ou un autre dispositif médical ou oculaire adapté sous la membrane épithéliale, et à obtenir ainsi des structures formées par ces processus. Les dispositifs de dé-épithélialisation comportent généralement un élément de séparation ou de dissection non coupant, conçu pour séparer l'épithélium en une surface de clivage naturelle de l'oeil entre l'épithélium et le stroma cornéen (membrane de Bowman), la séparation se faisant notamment dans la zone de la lamina lucida.  L'élément de séparation ou de dissection peut avoir une structure qui roule ou vibre (ou fait les deux) sur cette surface ou interface de clivage pendant la dissection. L'épithélium ainsi séparé peut être soulevé de la surface de l'oeil pour former un recouvrement épithélial ou une poche. L'épithélium peut ensuite être replacé sur la cornée après une intervention réfractive ou après placement d'une lentille oculaire (ou d'un autre dispositif sous-épithélial) sur l'oeil. Le dispositif sous-épithélial peut comprendre une large variété de matériaux polymères synthétiques, naturels ou composites. L'opération de replacement du tissu épithélial sur le dispositif sous-épithélial ou sur la surface cornéenne antérieure favorise la cicatrisation épithéliale.

Abstract: An abrader device for delivering a substance into skin via an abrasion process includes a housing adapted to be pressed against the skin at a desired delivery site, an applicator head disposed, in an upper opening of the housing and movable across a lower opening of the housing to abrade the delivery site in at least one furrow, and an abrader surface attached to the applicator head whereby the housing remains firm and stationary at the delivery site and structure of the housing and the applicator head controls parameters of the abrasion process. In particular, the amount of force or pressure applied to the abrader surface, the speed at which the abrader surface moves across the skin and the number of lateral passes of the abrader surface across the skin are controlled so that the abrader device provides a furrow with a length of substantially the same depth thereby providing reproducible results, even though different technicians are applying the abrader device against a patient's skin.

Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the finding that certain molecules are preferentially associated with effector T cells or regulatory T cells. Accordingly, immune responses by one or the other subset of cells can be preferentially modulated. The invention pertains, e.g., to methods of modulating (e.g., up- or down-modulating), the balance between the activation of regulatory T cells and effector T cells leading to modulation of immune responses and to compositions useful in modulating those responses. The invention also pertains to methods useful in diagnosing, treating, or preventing conditions that would benefit from modulating effector T cell function relative to regulatory T cell function or from modulating regulatory T cell function relative to effector T cell function in a subject. The subject methods and compositions are especially useful in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of conditions characterized by a too-vigorous effector T cell response to antigens associated with the condition, in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of conditions characterized by a weak effector T cell response, in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of conditions characterized by a too-vigorous regulatory T cell response, or in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of conditions characterized by a weak regulatory T cell response.

Abstract: A touch sensitive matrix display senses touch input during a sense period (TS) in a separate sense area (A1) which is selected to be non-overlapping with a display area (A2) in which information is displayed dependent on the touch position which is sensed in the sense area (A1). During the sense period (TS), the sense area (A1) is not addressed. The non-address period of time (TR) occurring between two successive sense area addressing periods (TA2) of the sense area (A1) lasts at least as long as, but preferably substantially longer than, the display area address period (TA1,i) required to address the complete display area (A2). The data displayed in the sense area (A1) is refreshed by addressing the sense area (A1) during the sense area address periods (TA2) in-between the sense periods (TS). The data displayed in the sense area (A1) will not be disturbed by the sensing and will be present between two successive sense area addressing periods (TA2, TA2') because the pixels 10 of the matrix display have an optical state which, when not addressed, is maintained longer than the non-address period (TR).
