Abstract: An implement for spreading granular and/or pulverulent material, especially fertilizers, which implement comprises both a hopper (2) provided with at least one outlet opening (41, 42) and at least one spreading member (5, 6). The outlet opening (41, 42) is capable of being further closed or opened at choice by a metering slide (86, 87) which is movable forward and backward along a hopper wall (37, 38) comprising the outlet opening (41, 42) and which can be put into one of at least two positions at choice. The metering slide (86, 87) under pressure abuts against the wall (37, 38) and extends to beyond the wall (37, 38). Outside the wall (37, 38), the metering slide (86, 87) under pressure abuts against the curved side (106) of a sector-shaped support (107) and is capable of rolling on the curved side (106) as it moves along the outlet opening (41, 42) during adjustment. A side of the metering slide (86, 87) is preferably provided with indentations (95, 96, 97) to enable the formation of a plurality of relatively small passages (66, 67, 68) in order to maintain a good spread pattern, when small quantities of material per unit of time or per unit of area are to be broadcast.

Abstract: The invention relates to a human MCP-1 derivative, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, wherein human MCP-1 has been modified such that the protein inhibits monocyte chemoattractant activity. Successful inhibition of the activity is found where the MCP-1 is modified in one or more of the following: a) the 28-tyrosine is substituted by aspartate, b) the 24-arginine is substituted by phenylalanine, c) the 3-aspartate is substituted by alanine, and/or d) the 2-8 amino acid sequence is deleted. The claimed MCP-1 derivatives can be administered to a patient in need of inhibiting MCP-1 monocyte chemoattractant activity. For example, the derivatives can be used to prevent restenosis, such as that which is common in a patient undergoing coronary artery angioplasty. The invention further relates to compositions and methods of inhibiting monocyte chemoattractant activity of MCP-1 employing the derivatives described.

Abstract: A catheter apparatus (10) for intravenous applications, such as hemodialysis, which helps prevent needlesticks. The invention includes a hollow plunger (20) to which a hollow needle (14) is attached. A housing (12) surrounds the plunger (20) and contains a locking device (22) so that when the plunger (20) is retracted and the needle (14) is pulled within the housing (12), the plunger (20) becomes locked into place, thus encasing and securing the needle. A standard IV tubing line is attached to the apparatus, the introducing needle (14) inserted so that the catheter is placed in position, and then the introducing needle (14) is withdrawn and locked in place without the need for the operator having to break the system. Once the needle (14) is locked into position, medical personnel are protected from a needlestick as the entire needle is within the apparatus.

Abstract: Détecteur à panneau plat (20) pour radiographie, comprenant un ensemble de pixels (22) disposés en rangées et en colonnes. Des lignes de grille (24) interconnectent les pixels de chaque rangée tandis que des lignes de source (26) interconnectent les pixels de chaque colonne. Un transducteur de rayonnement (CSE) est placé sur l'ensemble. Chaque pixel comprend un commutateur à transistor en couches minces (TFT) (38) dont l'électrode de grille est reliée à une ligne de grille (24) et dont l'électrode de source (42) est reliée à une autre ligne de grille. L'électrode drain (40) du commutateur TFT (38) constitue l'électrode de pixel (22). L'électrode drain et l'électrode de fond (52) reliée à la ligne de source (26) constituent un condensateur de stockage (CST). Lorsque le commutateur TFT est polarisé et que l'électrode drain est chargée, l'électrode drain se décharge à travers le commutateur TFT sur le terminal source et la ligne de grille. Il en résulte une libération de la charge détenue par l'électrode de fond, qui est captée par un amplificateur de charge relié à la ligne de source.

Abstract: A set of thinned halftone dot patterns (42) useful in inkjet printing comprises a plurality of halftone cells (40) corresponding to respective shade values. Each of the halftone cells includes a plurality of addressable points (12, 14), with at least some of the points being turned 'on' (14) to define a halftone dot pattern (46), and at least some of the 'on' points (14) defining a core component of the halftone dot pattern being selectively turned 'of' (44), thereby producing a thinned halftone dot pattern (42). The thinned halftone dot patterns enable the use of higher addressability in an inkjet printing system to achieve a wider range of shade values while avoiding undesirable over-inking of printed halftone dot patterns due to excessive overlap (26) between printed ink spots (24). The thinned halftone dot patterns prevent significant overlap between adjacent ink spots in the core, or 'interior', component when the halftone dot pattern is printed by the inkjet printing system, but preserves the entire edge component to maintain desired halftone cell definition. Thinned halftone cells can be stored in a memory as 'glyphs' and retrieved by an inkjet printing system to print higher addressability halftone images with enhanced quality and a wider range of shade values.

Abstract: According to the invention, a voltage reference, i.e. a process for tuning a voltage reference, is proposed with self-monitoring and self-calibration. Use is made preferably of a band-gap reference source. The voltage reference is provided preferably with semiconductor switches with which the temperature coefficient is adjusted in a test cycle by parallel switching of resistances which alters the gain factor. Self-monitoring can be carried at any time and as often as desired, as can self-calibration. Control of the switch for the self-monitoring and self-calibration of the voltage reference is done using a matrix controlled by a microcomputer with an appropriate control program.

Abstract: The present invention relates to image analysis methods and systems for identifying objects in a background by defining a data space, such as a histogram, a co-occurrence matrix, or a color space. The data space comprises a plurality of sub-spaces, which could be selected based, for example, on a histogram, or on the way gray level values or color parameters cluster in their respective spaces. At least one sub-space is selected. The image is multiply searched using the selected sub-space for at least one representation of a candidate object, where the candidage object has at least one predetermined attribute value. Valid objects are identified by comparing the candidage object attribute values to a defined set of valid object attribute values contained in a driver. The present invention includes recursive, iterative and parallel processing methods. The methods may be used in a wide variety of industrial inspection techniques, including colony counting and the identification of discrete features in carpets and of pigment elements embedded in a polymer.
