Date Aug. 28, 1997An apparatus and method for using a permanent magnet with a high coercive force and a permanent pole-reversible magnet with a low coercive force used in securing members in cooperation with wedging members. The apparatus also includes a release device, with a securing member inserted, and a combined control and feed device and a verification device, in the form of a till. The entire release device can therefore be, for example, directly linked to invoicing for a paid sum. The control and feed device controls and feeds the electromagnet coil of the magnetizing device. To release a securing member, the magnetizing device is activated, thereby reversing the poles of the permanent pole-reversible magnet. Both permanent magnets in the securing member subsequently repel, the wedge is released and the pin can be withdrawn from the locking section.

Abstract: An adaptive system and method for reducing interference in a signal received from an array of sensors. Adaptive filters are used to generate cancelling signals that closely approximate the interference present in the received signal. The adaptive filter weights are converted into the frequency domain where the frequency representation values in a selected frequency range are truncated to avoid signal leakage involving narrow band signals. Deodorizing filters are used to produce the cancelling signals having a flat frequency spectrum. Normalized power difference is used limit the operation of the adaptive filters to the case where there is some directional interference to be eliminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel VEGF protein products, and nucleic acids encoding these novel protein products, comprising exons 1-6 and 8 of the VEGF gene, and derivatives thereof, and these uses in treating the cardiovascular system and its diseases through effects on anatomy, conduit function, and permeability. VEGF145 and its derivatives have been found to be active mitogens for vascular endothelial cells and to function as angiogenic factors in-vivo. VEGF145 and its derivatives have novel properties compared with previously characterized VEGF species with respect to cellular distribution, susceptibility to oxidative damage, and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) binding ability. The present invention also relates to derivatives of VEGF145 which have altered properties in that they have altered biological activity and altered heparin-binding activity when compared to VEGF145. The present invention provides methods of treating the cardiovascular system, enhancing endothelialization of diseased vessels, and enhancing drug permeation by providing the novel VEGF protein products. The invention also provides expression vectors, compositions, and kits for use in the methods of the invention.

Abstract: A memory includes a data bit line and a reference bit line. Word lines in the memory are connected to the bit lines by transistors. The transistors on data bit lines and the reference bit lines are substantially the same size. The capacitances on the data bit lines are substantially the same as the capacitances on the reference bit lines. When the word line is activated, the bit lines express a steady-state voltage that is a function of the resistance of the bit lines. In one example, the data bit lines have a resistance (R) and the reference bit lines have half the resistance (R2). The same current is sourced to the data bit lines and the reference bit lines so that the steady-state voltage of the data bit line differs from the steady-state voltage of the reference bit line by a factor equal to the ratio of the resistances. The resistors (R and R2) perform two functions, the resistors clamp level of the bit lines that are being discharged to stop the displacement current. The data bit lines are sensed differentially with respect to the reference.

Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring clock frequency variations on a peripheral bus is provided to improve operations of the peripheral device despite changes in the clock frequency. In one aspect of the arrangement, a processing unit is coupled to a host bus which in turn is coupled to a peripheral bus which is coupled to a peripheral device. A monitoring arrangement is provided which detects a change in the clock frequency of the peripheral bus and determines if the frequency change exceeds a threshold associated with the peripheral device. If the threshold is exceeded, the peripheral device is informed that the clock frequency of the peripheral bus has changed. A peripheral device operating a different operating levels may use the information from the monitoring arrangement to alter the operating level of the peripheral device to conform to the new bus clock frequency.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for recovering raw materials, in particular heavy metals such as chromium, zinc, copper, lead, or nickel, by separation from waste and residues, wherein a liquid or viscous starting mixture and/or a starting mixture composed of crushed or ground components is first prepared. The invention is characterized in that the raw materials are separated by a thermochemical treatment. The liquid, viscous and/or solid starting mixture is first mixed with additives, depending on its composition, then subjected to a thermal treatment in an oven. The atmosphere in the oven flows through the starting mixture and the suspended materials thus generated as flakes or dust are conveyed out of the oven through a filter installation with several stages in which they are separated from the waste gas. The first filter is designed as a hot filter, after which the waste gas is cooled and after flowing through at least a second filter, pre-heated and then burnt at a high temperature. The process of the invention may be used, for example, to recover chromium (III) oxide from chromium-containing residues or zinc oxide from zinc-containing residues. Formation of chromium (III) oxide from chlorine-containing wastes occurs by formation and decomposition of chromyl chloride. Additives suitable for use in the invention may include those that comprise aluminum, aluminum oxide, iron, iron oxide, chlorine-containing material, sulfur-containing, milled plastics, granulated plastics, peroxides, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide or combinations thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mold to shape a substantially ring-shaped body, comprising a plurality of outer mold segments (14/28) which can be displaced radially and are held together by a ring (outer ring 16) having conical sliding surface (18) that faces said mold segments. Clasping elements (24), each of which is connected to a mold segment (14/28), engage in an undercut groove (20) on the conical sliding surface so that the mold segments can move radially when the ring (16) is axially displaced, wherein at least one support surface (26) comes to rest on a wall surface of a groove (22). In order to enable sequential opening of said mold, thereby reducing the forces exerted upon the tires or a different ring-shaped body during the shaping process, the invention provides that the cross section of certain clasping elements (24) are dimensioned in such a way that the support surface (26) comes to rest on the corresponding wall surface of the groove (22) much later as compared with the support surface of the other clasping elements when the outer ring is axially displaced.

Abstract: In a first aspect the invention provides an apparatus for processing radio signals for connection to a personal computing device (PCD), in which a stream of digitised intermediate frequency (IF) data is maintained in at least one direction. In the inbound direction, information is received (104) as radio frequency (RF) signals by the device, down-converted (105) to IF and then digitised (107) and fed into the PCD (109) under control of an interface management unit (IMU 108). Software modules in the PCD then provide whatever demodulation processing is required for the transmission scheme in use. The invention further provides a transmitter apparatus. In the outbound direction, an IF signal is digitally synthesised by software on the PCD (109), according to an appropriate modulation scheme, and the resulting signal is passed to the device via the IMU, where it is used to generate (110) a corresponding analogue waveform. This waveform is then up-converted (112) to RF at the appropriate frequency and transmitted. As the PCD software is able to send commands to the device to set the centre frequency and bandwidth of RF to be accepted and transmitted, the device (together with appropriate software on the PCD) provides the basis for a generic, low-cost radio-frequency communications system. The invention may further provide a transceiver apparatus having both inbound and outbound channels.
