Abstract: A method of reducing bandwidth used on a telecommunications link comprising, at an input to the link, the steps of: receiving a plurality of data packets, each packet comprising data and a packet identifier; determining packets which contain redundant data; transmitting, across the link, packets which do not contain redundant data; and further comprising, at an output of the telecommunications link, the steps of: receiving the transmitted packets; determining missing packets according to the identifiers of received packets; and generating data for the missing packets, which generated data corresponds to redundant data not transmitted across the link. This ensures bit count integrity between the input and the output of the link. Redundant data may be data following a predictable pattern, such as identical data. Where the packet identifiers are a recurring sequence of N symbols, the input transmits at least one packet in every N packets.

Abstract: The invention relates to data transmission between a network part of a cellular network using a General Packet Radio Service and a subscriber terminal. Data transmission is performed using a protocol stack where an RLC/MAC (Radio Link Control / Medium Access Control) protocol layer and an LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol layer employing the services of the RLC/MAC protocol layer act as data link layers. Transmission units are used for data transmission in such a manner that an LLC frame of the LLC layer is placed in an RLC data block of the RLC/MAC layer. More than two LLC frames (700, 702, 704) are located in one RLC data block so that a mechanism is located in the RLC data block indicating the length of the LLC frame included in the RLC data block and information about whether another LLC frame will follow said LLC frame or not. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process and assembly to extract a specific blood component from a patient, the process operates under continual laminar flow. Blood is taken from the patient using a first tube and surrendered to a centrifuge in which the components are separated. Simultaneously, blood is returned to the patient at the same rate at that which is removed. The centrifuge separation is determined by a geometrical factor, by the centrifuge speed of rotation, and the position of the incoming blood tube to the centrifuge. The separation of blood components is characterized by a separation optimization coefficient which is between 140 and 190 pref. 176. During separation of thrombocytes, the blood flow rate is between 30 and 100 ml/min and the separation coefficient is between 600 and 700, pref. approx. 649.

pair of French doors (14, 16) are pivotally mounted to the refrigerator
cabinet (12). In a closed position, the doors (14, 16) have vertically
extending confronting walls (102) which include an intermediate sealing
gasket (108) extending along a major vertical portion of the confronting
walls (102) which are adapted to sealingly engage against each other to
form a vertically extending seal (104). Upper and lower corner sealing
gasket members (200) are respectively positioned above and below the
intermediate sealing gasket members (200) and adjacent a corresponding
horizontal wall (36, 40, 42) of the cabinet (12). Each of the corner
sealing gasket members (200) has a first sealing surface (202) adjacent
the intermediate sealing gasket (108) member to complete the vertical
seal (104) between the confronting walls (102) of the doors (14, 16) when
the doors (14, 16) are in a closed position. The corner sealing gasket
members (200) further include a second sealing surface (204) generally

(204) in an open position has one vertically extending outwardly
protruding ridge (206) contracting the second scaling surface (204) to
withdraw the first sealing surface (202) back from its vertical sealing
position (104). The ridge (206) engages one of the horizontal walls (36,

The probe has a casing and a sensing element which projects out of the casing and is acted upon in dependence on the tensile force by a force-applying structure which may be either the first longitudinal arm or one of the transverse arms. In order to permit application of the force gage for hoists of varying load-carrying capability, a first elastic element is connected with at least two of the pair of longitudinal arms and the pair of transverse arms, such that the movement of the first longitudinal arm in response to the tensile force is opposed by an elastic force applied by the first elastic element, and a second elastic element, with the sensing element being connected in series with the second elastic element and supported by the force-applying structure.
