IPC: B60S1/34
Filed: 1988-07-12
Abstract: A flexible windscreen wiper arm (1) of unitary construction, having means (2, 3) at one end of the arm for attachment to a wiper blade, and means (6) at the other to engage a rotary driving spindle (8). Between the two ends of the arm is a region (12) capable of toggle action between two opposite and stable positions. When the socket (6) is in place over the spindle (8) and the toggle region is in one stable position, the socket grips the spindle and the blade will be angled so as to press the blade against a windscreen. In the other extreme position of the toggle, the arm is angled to lift the blade clear of the windscreen and the grip of the socket on the spindle is released, allowing removal of arm and blade from the spindle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of controlling the reactivity of light-water-cooled, light-water-moderated reactor core and equipment used in this method. 
     The reactor core is separated into a water region through which light water passes and a substitution region occupied by a water displacer material with lower neutron moderation effect than that of light water (for example, a rare gas or heavy water). In the case of controlling the reactivity of the core, a fluid in the substituion region is substituted between light water and the water displacer material. 
     Such a method of controlling the reactivity of the core can be utilized for reactivity compensation in response to neutron energy spectral shift operation, load-follow operation, and a change between low-temperature conditions and high-temperature conditions of reactors. 
     In order to separate the core into the water region and the substitution region, water displacer tubes (17) consisting of tubes with sealed top ends are provided for a fuel assembly (2). The water desplacer tubes are directly incorporated into the fuel assembly and are directly fixed, or a cluster having the water desplacer tubes are inserted into the fuel assembly.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are described for nonliposomal lipid complexes in association with toxic hydrophobic drugs such as the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B. Lipid compositions are preferably a combination of the phospholipids dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) in about a 7:3 mole ratio. The lipid complexes contain a bioactive agent, and may be made by a number of procedures, at high drug:lipid ratios. These compositions of high drug:lipid complexes (HDLCs) may be administered to mammals such as humans for the treatment of infections, with substantially equivalent or greater efficacy and reduced drug toxicities as compared to the drugs in their free form. Also disclosed is a novel liposome-loading procedure, which may also be used in the formation of the HDLCs.

A first comparison register is provided for comparing a count value of the counter with a first programmable predetermined value at each one counting operation of the counter, so as to generate a first coincidence signal when the count value of the counter is coincident with the first programmable predetermined value. A second comparison register is provided for comparing the count value of the counter with a second programmable predetermined value at each one counting operation of the counter, so as to generate a second coincidence signal when the count value of the counter is coincident with the second programmable predetermined value. A capture/comparison register operates to capture and store the count value of the counter when the level transition detection signal is generated, and also to compare the count value of the counter with the stored count value at each one counting operation of the counter, so as to generate a third coincidence signal when the count value of the counter is coincident with the stored count value. There is provided a clear circuit for generating a clear signal to the counter when either the first coincidence signal or the third coincidence signal is generated.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus for forming an ordinary copy or a tonality image for an original image for a printing press, original image data is divided into a predetermined area, and pixel density within the area is subjected to a density conversion in accordance with screen half-toning information which will increase density information toward the approximate center of these pixels, by way of example. The original image data or the density-converted image data is converted into a binary-coded signal conforming to the density, and an output image is formed in accordance therewith. Preferably, plural types of non-linear correction tables are provided and a tone-conversion is performed selecting a correction table for every pixel or every line of the density-converted image data. Preferably, the original image data is binary coded by a pattern signal having a long period, and the density-converted image data is binary coded by a pattern signal having a short period. The foregoing is applied to color-separated image data of each color. Preferably, the image data is divided, in accordance with color, into predetermined areas having the same or a different number of pixels, or into predetermined areas having a planar phase which differs for each color, and a screen angle is applied thereto.

Abstract: A visual navigation system provides absolute position information to multiple automatically guided vehicles (AGVs) (36,37) such as mobile robots. The beacon-equipped AGVs (36,37) emit light visible to overhead television cameras. The beacons are arranged and controlled so that the vision system can acquire, measure, and report the locations of multiple AGVs (36,37). The system controller incorporates a programmable "factory map," or knowledge base, of allowable paths of travel for the AGVs (36,37), which navigate by dead reckoning with periodic position updates from the visual navigation system. The visual navigation system notifies the autonomous AGVs (36,37) and the system controller when an AGV strays from its commanded path. The combination of computer controls in the elements of the system provides the means to stop and to recover straying AGVs (36,37). The navigation system visually monitors normal AGV travel, off-course corrections, "lost" AGV searches, and recovery. Thus, it provides closed-loop, servo-like operation.

Abstract: The phased array antenna has a plurality of radiating elements (11), a power divider (13) for distributing transmitting power to the radiating elements, and a plurality of phase shifters (12) each being connected between the power divider (13) and respective one of the radiating elements (11), and scanning a beam by controlling the amounts of phase shift of the phase shifters. A characteristic compensating apparatus for the antenna comprises a monitor manifold coupled to the array of the radiating elements (11) for combining outputs radiated from the radiating elements and producing the greatest combined output as a monitor output when the antenna has a predetermined scanning angle. A phase error calculating means calculates, when the antenna radiates a scanning beam of the predetermined angle, phase errors between the outputs of the individual radiating elements and the output of the monitor manifold in response to the combined output of the monitor manifold. A phase shift compensating means compensates the amounts of phase shift of the individual phase shifters in response to the calculated phase errors. This phased array antenna sufficiently compensates for not only the changes in beam direction but also the changes in beam shape and side lobe level due to temperature and, thereby, insuring the expected MLS performance.
