IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1994-02-02
Abstract: This invention provides a method for mapping an input color space to an output color space in such a way that the color reproduction characteristics of the saturated colors can be adjusted in a custom manner, while maintaining the desired tone reproduction on the neutral axis. This is accomplished by defining independently a tone transformation and a transformation for a plurality of highly saturated colors. A transformation is formed for the remaining color values having the specified transforms for the neutral and saturated colors as boundary values. In the preferred embodiment multi-dimensional look-up tables are used to implement the transform.

IPC: E03C1/23
Filed: 1993-12-23
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une vanne de vidange (2) d'une baignoire (1) ou autre conteneur drainé par la gravité. Lorsqu'il est parcouru par une impulsion électrique, un solénoïde (18) fixé directement en dessous du coude de drainage soulève la vanne en champignon (5), ce qui ouvre le conduit de vidange (3). Un aimant permanent (20) verrouille l'armature (12) du solénoïde dans la position soulevée. La vanne (2) se ferme en faisant passer dans le solénoïde (18) un impulsion de polarité opposée qui tire l'armature (12) vers le bas et hors de l'influence de l'aimant permanent (20). Un piston (10) placé dans un manchon recouvert par une enveloppe (8) mobile assure la protection contre les fuites et permet une ouverture et une fermeture manuelles.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de détection quantitative de traces d'un analyte dans un échantillon. Le procédé, dans le mode préféré de réalisation, consiste à produire un fragment Fab' d'une immunoglobuline marquée au niveau d'un groupe sulfhydryle réactif avec une couleur fluorescente; à combiner le fragment Fab' marqué avec un échantillon qui peut contenir l'analyte; à concentrer les éléments du mélange obtenu dans un champ électrique; à séparer le complexe marqué analyte/agent obtenu à partir de n'importe quel agent marqué non transformé à l'aide des procédés électrophorétiques capillaires; et à détecter le signal fluorescent du complexe marqué analyte/agent. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé de production d'un fragment Fab' marqué qui consiste à dissocier une molécule d'immunoglobuline pour obtenir un fragment F(ab')2; à réduire les liaisons de dislufure du fragment F(ab')2 pour obtenir deux fragments Fab', chacun ayant au moins un groupe sulfhydryle réactif, libre; et à mélanger un fragment Fab' ayant au moins un grupe sulfhydryle libre avec une couleur libre pour former un fragment Fab' marqué. De préférence, avant l'étape finale de mélanger, des liaisons de disulfure intrabrins sont formées par l'oxydation dans chaque fragment Fab', produisant ainsi des fragments individuels Fab' ayant chacun un groupe sulfhydryle réactif unique. Le procédé de détection quantitative consiste également, de manière plus générale, à utiliser n'importe quel agent biospécifique pour former un complexe avec l'analyte cible.

Abstract: Une pompe péristaltique comporte un chenal pour recevoir un tube flexible. Un rotor de pompe (292) porte au moins un galet (300) pour venir en contact avec le tube (134/136). Un mécanisme (306) de positionnement du galet déplace le galet de la pompe entre une position de retrait sans contact avec le tube et une position avancée de contact de fonctionnement avec le tube. Un dispositif de commande (246) de la pompe permet (i) en mode pompe, de faire fonctionner la pompe en assurant la rotation du rotor (292) pendant que le galet (300) est dans sa position avancée ou (ii) en mode valve, d'arrêter la pompe par l'arrêt du rotor, le galet pouvant alors être déplacé sélectivement entre sa position avancée pour empêcher le fluide de circuler dans le tube et sa position de retrait permettant au fluide de circuler. La pompe péristaltique peut donc, en plus de sa fonction de pompe, être utilisée comme valve.

Abstract: A device for transporting print media (12) in printing or copying apparatus has rotary transport elements (36) arranged in a print media transport channel at a distance from the print medium (12) that act as feeding aids for an automatic paper feeding device. Friction elements (40) designed as striking elements with friction surfaces (41) and arranged at the periphery of the transport elements (36) are bound to the axis bolt of rotation (38) of the transport element (36) so that they can swivel. When the transport elements (36) are rotated, the friction elements (40) are brought by the centrifugal force out of a rest position, against a restoring force, and their friction surfaces (41) are brought into frictional contact with the print medium (12) and transport the same. When the transport element (36) is at a standstill, the friction elements (40) release the print medium (12).

Abstract: By performing a debinder process before or at the time of firing, and by enhancing a programming rate in the temperature range of 650∼950°C, the size of particles shows less distribution. Also, when the temperature comprising the particle growth range of 1025∼1200°C is maintained for many hours, a zinc oxide varistor having relatively large and uniformly formed particles can be provided. When a zinc oxide varistor compound is fired, a solid solution of zinc oxide spinel is fired at the programming rate of 175 to 500°C/hr in the temperature range comprising the primary phase of from 650 to 950°C, and at the programming rate of 30 to 500°C/hr in the range of from 1250 to 1300°C. Accordingly, a zinc oxide varistor having comparatively large and uniformed formed particles can be obtained. Sintered products obtained in this way show less distribution in operating voltage.
