Abstract: One form of the printer inks multiple tonal levels, as
for continuous-tone images (23). A generally randomized
printmask (Figs. 7, 10) controls the printer. What is
randomized is, for each pixel respectively, an indicator
(X) of whether to print or not. Each indicator is,
preferably, a discriminator number for comparison with
desired-image data (23, 27) - specifically with a desired
tonal level (27), at each pixel, for the desired color
image - to make each printing decision. Preferably the
printer is thereby deciding whether to deposit a certain
number of drops per pixel; it compares the discriminator
with a particular number of desired drops (27), for the
desired image. The discriminator at each pixel is in
general different for multiple passes (211-215, A-F) and
these discriminators ("sequence of X's", Fig. 10) for the
passes form a sequence (Z). The sequence, for each pixel,
is preferably selected at random from a multiplicity of
sequences. Preferably the sequence for each pixel is
preselected (202) at random; and the selected sequences for
all pixels are prestored (203) in nonvolatile memory. To
do this, preferably each sequence is numbered (Z) and the
sequence for each pixel is selected by randomly selecting
(Fig. 10) a sequence number. Another preferred form of the
printer is not necessarily multilevel but the sequences are
selected as just described. A method is included for
initial construction (Fig. 7), and storage (Fig. 10) on a
tangible medium, of the sequences (Fig. 12) - and later 
recall and use (Figs. 8, 13).

Abstract: A novel member of the synuclein family has been
identified and is termed persyn. The full amino acid
sequence for the mouse and human isoforms are given in
SEQ ID Nos 2 and 4, with the respective nucleotide
coding sequences being given as SEQ ID Nos 1 and 3.
The unusual expression pattern noted for persyn, in
neurons and in skin, led to the realisation that
synucleins affect intracellular intermediate filament
structure. Thus, an assay for cells exhibiting
abnormal intermediate filament structure is described,
based upon evaluation of intracellular synuclein. The
assay is special relevance to neurodegenerative
disorders characterised by plaque deposition, to
cancers (especially breast cancer) and to skin
disorders. An assay for screening agents of potential
therapeutic value is also described.

Abstract: An introducer for introducing an expandable implantable device into a catheter
includes an outer tube and an inner core which slides in the outer tube. A first end of the
core has a tubular configuration with a slit which allows it to expand radially to grip an
end of the device. The first end of the core holding the device is pulled into a first end of
the outer tube which further tightens the grip on the device. The second end of the core,
which extends beyond the second end of the outer tube, may have a handle attached or be
bent to prevent the core from moving and releasing the device. The core preferably has a
metal wire inside of it. The device remains in its relaxed condition attached to the
introducer at the first end of the outer tube and mostly outside of it until use. The outer
tube may have a rigid transparent cup-shaped shield member attached at its first end and
extending beyond it to protect the device and allow the device to be viewed on the
introducer. To use the introducer and the device, the core is slid relative to the outer tube
which pulls the device inside the outer tube and into its stretched condition. As the first
end of the inner core exits the second end of the outer tube, the end of the device is
released and remains mostly inside of the outer tube in its stretched condition. An end of
the outer tube is then inserted into a catheter and a pushrod used to push the device from
the introducer into the catheter.

Abstract: A data communications switch and method of operation are presently disclosed enabling flexible, selectable provision of a common timing signal for synchronized external communication through physical layer interfaces with other network devices, synchronized internal communications within the switch, and for uninterrupted synchronization of such communications. Synchronization of external communications is enabled by programmable selection from among plural potential timing references at redundant timing modules (TMs). An active TM (12a) provides a primary external synchronization clock; a standby TM (12b) provides a redundant timing function. Both TMs (12a and 12b) access the same references. A state signal indicates which synchronization clock is active. External interfaces derive timing from this distributed clock. Synchronized internal timing is provided by an internal clock (24) and phase-locked loop (PLL) on each TM (12a and 12b). The clock/PLL timing signal output is routed to other switch elements, enabling synchronized internal data transfer. Both interconnected TMs (12a and 12b) actively generate clock signals for external and internal use, enabling seamless timing switchover should conditions warrant a change in TMs (12a and 12b).
