Abstract: A radiotherapy appliance having a plurality of controllable radiation beams which converge on a focus volume wherein an object being irradiated can be movably positioned relative to the focus volume for varying time periods and with varying radiation exposure rates, optimally under control of a computer. The computer controls the focus volume radiation beam size, intensity, and exposure time for subareas of the treatment target in response to a radiation dose distribution determined for the treatment target. A determination of the radiation beam size, intensity, and dwell time of the focus volume in the target area, is made by initially dividing up the specified treatment area into volume elements or voxels and having biological characteristics of the treatment area assigned to each voxel. The energy deposition incident to each voxel to provide this biological characteristic is then calculated. Finally, from the energy deposition incident on each voxel, the dwell time of the focus volume at particular voxels can be determined. Once the dwell time has been determined, the computer generates a sequence of motor control movements to move the patient with respect to the focus volume such that the focus volume is at a position sufficiently long within the treatment target to deliver the necessary radiation for each voxel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lumen support device, or a stent, used to open or expand a body lumen. The stent incorporates elongated parallel stent components with circumferential members, fingers, which weave into paired slots of an adjacent stent component. This weave-like interlocking configuration enables the stent to expand radially without yielding or plastically deforming the material of which the stent is fabricated. The weave-like mechanism allows for uniform, smooth expansion without change in longitudinal dimensions of the complete assembly. Once assembled, the plurality of parallel elongated stent components form a cylindrical configuration. The invention provides a stent able to support body lumens and adapt to curves or irregularities in body lumens without losing its formation or its longitudinal dimensions. It is designed to permit flexing both radially and longitudinally to conform to the curved body of the applicable lumen. The device is delivered using a percutaneous transluminal catheter device which may incorporate an inflatable balloon, self-expanding material or both to expand the stent.

Abstract: Un modem (33) est intégré dans un poste récepteur de télévision pour transférer des données, telles que des informations de facturation par temps de visionnement, à un modem (37) intégré dans une station de facturation pendant des opérations périodiques d'appel en retour. Le modem (33) du poste récepteur de télévision surveille une ligne téléphonique (35) pour détecter des conditions prédéterminées, telles que la présence d'une énergie de haute fréquence ou une chute de courant dans la ligne de transmission téléphonique, qui indiquent que le téléphone est utilisé. Le modem (33) du récepteur de télévision normalement inhibe ou met fin à un appel en retour lorsque les conditions prédéterminées sont détectées afin d'éviter des interférences avec les appels téléphoniques normaux. Cependant, certains problèmes dans le réseau téléphonique et non l'utilisation normale du téléphone peuvent aussi entraîner la détection de ces conditions prédéterminées. Par conséquent, le modem (33) est réglé de façon à ignorer ces conditions lorsqu'un nombre prédéterminé d'appels en retour sont restés inachevés parce que ces conditions ont été détectées, ce qui permet de compléter un appel en retour.

Abstract: Air at 20 to 50 degrees C is enriched with O2 in a method employing Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) or a combination of both. An adsorber is filled with at least 2 beds of zeolite granules. The bed nearest the air inlet consists of a Na-Ca-zeolite X with a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 2.0-2.5 and a CaO/Al2O3 ratio of 0.4-0.75. The CaO/Al2O3 ratio of the zeolites employed depends on the air inlet temperature. If the air inlet temp. is 20-30 degrees C, the CaO/Al2O3 ratio is 0.4-0.6. If the temp. is 30-40 degrees C, the ratio is 0.55-0.65. If the temp. is 40-50 degrees C, then the CaO/Al2O3 ratio is 0.6-0.75. The bed on the air outlet side is formed from a Na-Ca-zeolite A with a CaO/Al2O3 ratio of 0.5-1.0 which is greater than the ratio on the inlet side. The adsorber in the air inlet area represents 25-50% of the total zeolite beds.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the spacing between information tracks while recording information on an optical disc that does not have pre-manufactured information tracks. The invention employs a reference scale to precisely determine the position of information tracks to be recorded on an optical disc, wherein spacing of optical tick marks on the reference scale directly correlates to track pitch between information tracks recorded on the optical disc. The invention utilizes a first optical system for reading-from and writing-to an optical disc. A second optical system is used for detecting optical tick marks on the reference scale. The first optical system and the second optical system share common optical components, and are used in cooperation with control means to direct an optical pickup to a desired location of the optical disc for recording an information track thereon. <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 29, 1996A procedure for adjusting a filling jet of flow-controlled automatic filler machines. The task is of providing an inventive solution, ensuring an even, clean supply of the medium volume flow via the filling pipe into the container. The task is solved by determining and storing the speed of a filling jet emerging from a filling pipe. The actual speed values of a volume flow emerging from a pump is measured with a speed sensor and the thus gained values are compared in order to adjust the speed of an emerging filler jet. At the same time the flow output of the pump is changed until the stored set value of the filler jet speed at the volume sensor corresponds to the speed of the medium volume flow measured at the speed sensor. Only then the filling process into the vessels is started.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for cryopreserving plant cells and to methods for recovering viable plant cells from long or short term cryopreservation. Plant cells to be cryopreserved can be grown in culture and pretreated with a solution containing an cryoprotective agent and, optionally, a stabilizer. Stabilizers are preferably membrane stabilizers such as ethylene inhibitors, oxygen radical scavengers and divalent cations. Cells can also be stabilized by subjecting the culture to a heat shock. Pretreated cells are acclimated to a reduced temperature and loaded with a cryoprotective agent such as DMSO, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol. Loaded cells are incubated with a vitrification solution which, for example, comprises a solution with a high concentration of the cryoprotective agent. Vitrified cells retain less than about 20% water content and can be frozen at cryopreservation temperatures for long periods of time without significantly altering the genotypic or phenotypic character of the cells. Plant cells may also be cryopreserved by lyophilizing cells prior to exposure to a vitrification solution. The combination of lyophilization and vitrification removes about 80% to about 95% of the plant cell's water. Cells can be successfully cryopreserved for long periods of time and viably recovered. The invention also relates to methods for the recovery of viable plant cells from cryopreservation. Cells are thawed to about room temperature and incubated in medium containing a cryoprotective agent and a stabilizer. The cryoprotective agent is removed and the cells successfully incubated and recovered in liquid or semi-solid growth medium. The invention also relates to the cryopreserved cells and to viable plant cells which have been recovered from long or short term cryopreservation.
