Abstract: The present invention provides a method for efficiently and uniformly treating articles
with two or more fluids without transferring the articles from one container to another
container. The method comprises: providing the fluids, one at a time, to treat the articles (10) in a
treatment system, wherein the treatment system comprises one or more trays (20) each of which
has one or more baskets, each basket capable of holding one article (10), and wherein said trays (20)
are stacked to form a vessel or are stacked and placed within a preformed vessel (140), said vessel
or preformed vessel comprising a first entrance/exit (45,145) and a second entrance/exit (55,155)for the fluids;
and each time one of the fluids is provided to treat the articles, (a) flushing continuously the
articles with the fluid in a first flow direction from the first entrance/exit to the second
entrance/exit, (b) reversing the flow direction of the fluid, (c) flushing continuously the articles
with the fluid in a second direction from the second entrance/exit to the first entrance/exit for a
second period of time, and (d) if necessary, repeating steps (a) to (c) for a desired number of

Abstract: This invention is directed to therapeutic compositions containing non-MHC-restricted T-cells/NK-cells
in combination with MHC-restricted T-cells and especially to therapeutic
compositions, which comprise LAK cells. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to
the use of the above combination in the treatment of tumors in humans, which tumors show a
missing, low or aberrant expression of MHC class 1a or 1b molecules. By using the
aforementioned compositions/combinations it is possible to provide a balanced selective
pressure against emergence of tumor cell variants that would otherwise escape immune
detection.

Abstract: To advantageously eliminate the disadvantage of attenuation of the radiant light from
dielectric barrier discharge lamps by a UV transmission component, a treatment device (10) using
dielectric barrier discharge lamps (20a,20b,20c) is provided with a lamp chamber (R) in which dielectric barrier
discharge lamps (20a,20b,20c) are located and in which there is an inert gas atmosphere; a treatment
chamber (T), in which an article (1) to be treated is located, is provided with a treatment gas
atmosphere, and a UV transmission component (11) by which the lamp chamber (R) and the treatment
chamber (T) are separated from one another. In each of the lamp chamber (R) and the treatment
chamber (T) there are devices (40,41) for determining the gas pressure within the respective chamber, a
supply arrangement (24a,32a) for delivering gas to the inside the respective chamber and an
arrangement (24b,32b) for discharging gas from the respective chamber. A control device (42) regulates the
pressure of the gas atmosphere within the lamp chamber (R) and the pressure of the gas
atmosphere of the treatment chamber (T) relative to one another by determining the gas pressures
of the lamp chamber (R) and the treatment chamber (T).

IPC: H04N1/46

Abstract: In almost all contemporary TVs peaking techniques are used today to enhance
the picture. This means that the edges are sharpened in the luminance channel by using of
peaking or peaking-like circuits such as, for instance, luminance transient improvement
techniques. By such technique black parts near the edge are usually pushed towards more
black color and white parts are pushed towards more white color. As a result the picture
appears sharper and crisper. However, the picture also gives a "hard" impression in said parts,
the reason for this being that the image signal has been corrected solely with regard to a
luminance component and not with regard to a color component. The proposed method aims
to increase the saturation level at those parts, in particular by processing the input image
signal in a region of an edge location, wherein at least the image characteristics of a color
component are corrected by amplifying the color component. Advantageously, the correction
of the color component is processed as a function of an original local saturation level, an
original local luminance level or a local difference between an original and a peaked image
signal. The object of such measures is restricted not only to improving the sharpness of an
image but also to improving an overall impression of an image, in particular near edge
locations.

IPC: H04L25/06
Filed: 2002-02-13
Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for removing a dc offset
from a received signal in linear modulation system channel estimator. 
     Transmitted signal includes a know set of symbols (midamble). Channel
is estimated in dependence on the received signal and the known set of
symbols. A known vector associated with the dc offset may be introduced
into a matrix defining the known symbols. A single step may estimate the
dc offset and the channel based on the least square principle. A further
aspect determines whether the symbols in the data part are evenly
distributed or not. If the symbols in the data part are evenly
distributed, then the mean value of the dc offset is determined in
dependence on the data part of the burst in combination with the
midamble part of the burst. Otherwise, the mean value of the dc offset
is determined in dependence on the midamble part of the burst only.

Abstract: A tool fastening mechanism has a housing 2, in which a clamping opening 3 is embodied for receiving a tapering tool shaft clamping end 4 of a tool part 5. The clamping opening 3 tapers inward in the introduction direction of the clamping end 4 of a tool part 5, and furthermore the tapering sides are inclined toward one another in a plane extending perpendicular to the introduction direction, as a result of which the opening has a trapezoidal cross section, and the length of this cross section decreases away from the orifice of the clamping opening 3. The housing 2 furthermore has a transverse opening 7, which intersects the clamping opening 3 and in which a locking pin 8 is received. Upon introduction of a tool into the fastening mechanism, a tapering edge 20 of the pin 8 comes into engagement with a front edge 21 of an oblong hole 9, embodied in the clamping edge 4 of the tool part 5, and the resultant engagement action draws the clamping end 4 deeper into the clamping opening 3, while the pin 8 is driven farther into the transverse opening 7. The combination of the double tapering of the clamping opening 3 and the longitudinal locking accomplished by the locking pin 8 makes it possible to effectively restrict all six degrees of freedom of the tool part, within the production tolerances attainable by conventional mass-production methods.
