Abstract: An exterior automotive quality paint coat is laminated to the surface of a plastic car body member of panel. A dry paint transfer film is first laminated to a relatively thin semi-rigid thermoformable resinous backing sheet. The backing sheet side of the resulting laminate is then laminated to a relatively thick thermoformable substrate sheet comprising the same or a compatible polymeric material. The two sheets are joined by extruding the thick substrate sheet and using the heat of extrusion to then laminate the thin backing sheet to the thicker extruded substrate sheet. The resulting thick sheet laminate is then thermoformed, preferably by first heating the laminate to a forming temperature, followed by vacuum forming the laminate to a three-dimensional shape of the finished automotive part, such as a facia, ready to put on a vehicle.

Abstract: The method involves the modulator (4) of the first station (1) carrying out a pre-equalizing of the signal to be transmitted. Such signals are then transmitted via several radio channels (25,20) from the first to the second station (2). Several aerials (50) of the first station radiate pre-equalized signals over each radio channels for reception by aerials (60,65) of the second station. For each radio channel is determined an estimate of a pulse reply in the first station. The pre-equalizing of signals to be radiated by the first station aerials is carried out in dependence on the estimate of the pulse reply of respective channel. <??>Independent claims are included for the radio stations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a specific regulator of Ii protein expression or immunoregulatory function. Specifically disclosed are several forms of the specific regulator of Ii, including those which function through the formation of a duplex molecule with an RNA molecule encoding mammalian Ii protein to inhibit Ii protein synthesis at the translation level. This class includes copolymers comprised of nucleotide bases which hybridize specifically to the RNA molecule encoding mammalian Ii protein, and also expressible reverse gene constructs. In other aspects, the disclosure relates to MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cells containing a specific regulator of Ii expression. Such cells are useful, for example, in the display of autodeterminant peptides in association with MHC class II proteins. Compositions of the invention find application in methods for treating diseases, for example malignancies and autoimmune disorders, in a patient by enhancing immunological attack on undesired cells. An additional application is the isolation of autodeterminant peptides from a cell.

Abstract: Un ensemble reformeur vapeur pour gaz combustible destiné à un générateur électrique à pile à combustible comporte des passages de gaz combustible (2) dont certains comportent une garniture d'alumine particulaire (12) dans laquelle on chauffe un mélange de vapeur vaporisée et de combustible de type hydrocarbure. Les parois (4) des passages (2) sont pourvues d'un revêtement d'alumine qui protège de la corrosion les parois (2). Le revêtement (4) et la garniture (12) sont tous les deux recouverts par une couche d'oxyde de métal alcalino-terreux qui a pour effet de limiter l'accumulation de carbone sur les surfaces des parois (4) et d'éviter l'encrassement prématuré des passages (2). Pour réaliser la couche limitant l'accumulation de carbone sur les composants des passages du reformeur, on applique sur ces surfaces une boue aqueuse de composés métalliques alcalino-terreux, puis on laisse sécher la boue pour qu'elle durcisse. Le matériau de garniture revêtu (14) a pour fonction de convertir en dioxyde ou en monoxyde de carbone tout le carbone libre restant dans le courant gazeux, ce qui limite encore plus le dépôt de carbone dans l'ensemble.
