Abstract: The object of the invention is to subject thermoplastic film webs (5) to a defined shrinkage, within the biaxial stretching process, with the application of small adjustment forces for changing the division and position of the clip chain and tenter clip (2) and to provide a device for carrying out the process. According to the process, this is carried out essentially in that   1. in the inlet region and/or heating region of the stretching machine, the division of the clip chain is varied in a manner known per se so as to reduce the spacing between the individual clip bodies and simultaneously a positional variation of the tenter means (18,19) receiving the film web edge is carried out to take up the material excess resulting from the spacing reduction,   2. the films are transversely stretched, 3. the positional variation of the tenter means in the fixing region is cancelled and, 4. after the film web edges are released, the shrinkage division is cancelled.   A device for this purpose consists of a clip chain whose tenter clips (2) are equipped with means, known per se, for divisional variation and the tenter clips are designed as pivot clips or at least the tenter means (18,19) within the clip are positionally variable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A coating apparatus (10) for use in a sheet-fed or web-fed, offset rotary or flexographic printing press (12) to apply a protective and/or decorative coating to the surface of freshly printed sheets (18) includes a doctor blade coating unit (60) coupled to a pickup roller (68) for supplying liquid material from a remote supply drum (102) to sheets transported on the surface of a transfer/delivery cylinder (42) mounted on a press delivery drive shaft (54). Liquid material is circulated through the reservoir (66) of the doctor blade unit by suction flow produced by a return pump (112). This prevents the buildup of positive pressure within the doctor blade reservoir (66). The doctor blade reservoir is maintained at below ambient pressure level, thereby inhibiting leakage through the end seals. A vacuum sensor assembly (122, 128) provides a visual indication of air vacuum pressure in the doctor blade reservoir chamber, and a vacuum sensor switch (132) applies electrical power to an audio transducer (136). The audio transducer produces an audible alarm in response to an increase in doctor blade chamber pressure, thereby providing advance warning of an impending end seal failure or a worn doctor blade (94, 96) condition. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for interfacing external processes to a transaction processing system. An interface system is provided that accepts input messages from external processes wherein in the input messages are to be processed by a transaction processing system. The interface system logs received messages and notifies the transaction processing system that a message has been received for processing. The interface system sends a confirmation to the external process indicating that the message has been received. The interface system periodically examines the status of each message as it is being processed by the transaction processing system. Output status messages indicative of such status are created, stored, and sent to an external destination for informational purposes. Outbound data messages are created, stored and sent to an external application. The interface system is event driven, but includes a monitor subsystem to time the start-up of certain processes at periodic intervals.

Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression of, lung cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of lung cancer in the patient. The progression of lung cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.

Abstract: 2.1. Known relevant measurement methods and measurement arrangements have the disadvantage that their measuring resolution falls far short of the resolution which can be achieved using other methods, and that these methods are unsuitable for measuring sections which vary within an extreme range. 2.2. This disadvantage is overcome in the case of the measurement method according to the invention by using two measuring interferometers with respective measuring sections to which the beam of the same laser is applied. In this process, the reference section formed from the arithmetic sum or difference of the two measuring sections is kept constant. In this case, two interfering component beams are used to generate in each case at least one interference signal which is measured by means of photodetectors. In the actual measurement method, the air wavelength of the laser beam is continuously tuned between two wavelength values within a wavelength region free from modal discontinuities, and the integral phase changes in the respective interference signals is detected during the wavelength modulation. The measured distance can be determined from these phase changes and the length of the reference section. 2.3. The measurement method and the laser interferometer arrangement are especially suitable for absolute distance measurements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An ultrasonic rail flaw detection system and technique are described for the detection of flaws in the sides of rail heads. An ultrasonic transducer (20) is oriented, sized, and located so as to produce an ultrasonic beam (50) within the rail head (48) whereby at least a portion of the beam will intersect a lower side corner independent of the curvature of the rail head running surface and the amount of head wear. The presence of premature reflections or the absence of reflections can be used to detect flaws such as vertical fractures in the rail head. The side-looker is so oriented as to produce a beam in the rail head that lies within 45 degrees to 75 degrees of the normal to the rail surface, and can be located such that its beam and the beams from other ultrasonic transducers do not interfere with each other.

Abstract: A hierarchic disk array data storage system (10) has multiple storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34) and a RAID management system (16) that maps the physical storage space (34) into two virtual storage spaces. A RAID-level virtual storage space (40) presents the physical storage space as mirror and parity RAID areas where the mirror RAID areas store data according to RAID Level 1 and the parity RAID areas store data according to RAID Level 5. An application-level virtual storage space (50) presents the physical storage space as multiple virtual blocks. The RAID management system (16) migrates data between the mirror and parity RAID areas to optimize performance and reliability. To facilitate migration, the RAID management system (16) guarantees a minimum of unused storage space that can be used to empty a RAID area for the purpose of converting the RAID level or other storage attribute of the RAID area. The minimum unused storage space is preferably equivalent in size to at least one largest parity RAID area. However, the unused storage space is not in any one physical location, but can be allowed to distribute itself over various RAID areas in a non-contiguous manner across the storage disks. <IMAGE>
