Abstract: A process to fracture connecting rods and the like, that are made of high strength materials, comprises of the following mechanisms: (a) Fatigue: fluctuation of stresses in a pre-notched connecting rod due to the use of harmonic excitation will extend the notch tip in the connecting rod and will weaken the predetermined fracture plane by creating micro-cracks. (b) Resonance: resonance occurs when the frequency of the used harmonic excitation matches a natural frequency of the connecting rod, idealized as a structural system. (c) Pre-stressing forces: by applying pre-stressing forces acting in the same loading mode, the stresses in the connecting rod due to several force components can be superimposed. (d) Dynamic force: applying a dynamic force will raise the stress intensity factor, exceeding the fracture toughness of the material.

Abstract: Mouse PCLP1 was identified by expression cloning with the use
of a monoclonal antibody against a surface antigen of a cell line
derived from mouse AGM. By fractionating
PCLP1-positive/CD45-negative cells and culturing them in  vitro,  it
was clarified that these cells differentiate into endothelial-like
cells, angioblast-like cells, and hematopoietic cells. By
transferring the PCLP1-positive/CD45-negative cells into a mouse
defective in the hematopoietic function, the hematopoietic system
was reconstructed over a long period of time. These facts indicate
that the PCLP1-positive/CD45-negative cells contain mammalian
hemangioblasts capable of expressing the activity as long--term
repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LTR-HSC). The present
invention provides a method for preparing a cell fraction containing
hemangioblasts, the cell fraction prepared by the method, and use
of this cell fraction.

Inventor: KOSTELNIK ROBERT J
IPC: C09C1/36
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a treatment method for rendering inorganic oxide particles, such as TiO2 pigment, hydrophobic by predispersing a suitably reactive organohalosilane into an aqueous media, using intensive mixing means (such as a rotor stator emulsifier or inline static mixer) to form a reactive dispersion. When this dispersion is combined with inorganic oxide particles, such as TiO2 pigment, under sufficient agitation, a hydrophobic inorganic oxide can be formed. The oxides formed by the present invention have good mechanical properties, such as dispersibility in nonpolar substances (i.e., plastics), and they do not degrade physical properties of the pigmented nonpolar substance, such as lacing resistance of thermoplastics.

Abstract: The invention concerns the control of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or other systems, using available bit rate (ABR) transmission. A source of data is permitted to transmit at a data rate which is set by the network according to the available capacity. Where television pictures are being transmitted, the actual data rate can be controlled by varying the degree of compression applied by video coder (or transcoder). Existing procedures for dividing up the available capacity between competing video sources are found to be unsatisfactory in terms of achieving equal picture quality for each source. In the invention, each source calculates a measure of picture complexity, and the network (for example, an ATM switch) uses the means to calculate how the capacity should be shared.

Abstract: Method in which in addition to a measurement channel (MK), a compensation channel (EK) is provided. The measurement channel measures over the whole useful impulse amplitude spectrum, while the compensation channel measures only a partial spectrum of impulse amplitudes. Measurement and compensation channels are calibrated for the same values (filling level or volume). Comparison of the respective impulse rates of the two channels shows a significant variation when interference radiation occurs. The measurement spectrum of the compensation channel is above the main part of the normal measurement spectrum thus the amount of radiation measured by the compensation channel increases comparatively more in the presence of interference radiation, than does that of the main measurement channel which also measures lower frequency radiation. When interference radiation is identified the measured value can be corrected using the measurement value of compensation channel.

Abstract: A pair of windshield eyeglasses(101) comprises:lenses
(106)and a frame(102) for holding the lenses. Each of the
lenses or the frame includes an edge formed with a windshield
(107)for sealing a gap between the edge and a face of a
user. The windshield extends from the edge and ranges from
laterally inward side of the face to an upper intermediate
portion and to a lower intermediate portion of the frame. 
     By providing the windshield, the airflow along the
user's face is changed to flow along the outside of the
windshield. Therefore, the airflow along the face is
prevented from entering between the eyeglass inner surface
and the user's face. In particular, the airflow is
effectively prevented from affecting the eyes from medial
angles of eyes toward lateral angles of eyes. This
eliminates interference with the natural flow of tears on
the eye surface, making it possible to effectively prevent
drying and inflammation in the eyes, or prevent foreign
materials from coming into the eyes.
