Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a terminal position assurance system. The assembly includes an elongated dielectric housing (12) having a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities (20,38) extending transversely of the housing. A plurality of terminals (40) are insertable into the cavities. A passageway (26) extends longitudinally of the housing. An elongated terminal position assurance member (28) is insertable into the passageway and movable between a preloaded position and a loaded position. The terminal position assurance member prevents mating of a complementary connector (70) with the connector assembly when the member is in its preloaded position. A plurality of primary locking devices (52,52a) are provided on the housing and movable between locking positions to lock the terminals in their respective cavities when the terminals are fully loaded into the cavities and second positions projecting into the passageway when the terminals are only partially loaded into their respective cavities to thereby prevent the terminal position assurance member from moving from its preloaded to its loaded position. Secondary locking devices (32) are operatively associated between the terminal position assurance member and the primary locking devices to hold the primary locking devices in their first locking positions when the terminal assurance member is in its loaded position.

Abstract: A method is described to determine multidrug resistance in living cells by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy of doxorubicin in sensitive and resistant tumor cells. The intracellular distribution of doxorubicin in K562 cells has been studied by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. A different fluorescence pattern has been observed in sensitive and resistant cells. An intense fluorescence signal is evident on the plasma membrane of K562R cells with multidrug resistance. The fluorescence imaging of the drug offers then a new method - non destructive - to discriminate between sensitive and resistant cells, with high potential in the diagnosis of resistance in tumors in vivo. The differences in the intracellular drug distribution, as seen by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy, moreover offer new indications on the mode of action of the drug in the living cell.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of microspheres, for the prolonged release of the hormone LHRH and its analogues, the hormone being dispersed in a water-insoluble polymeric or copolymeric matrix, the solvent evaporation-based process is characterised by the use of a pair of organic solvents one of which makes it possible more specifically to obtain a homogeneous suspension of the hormone in the pulverulent state simply by stirring and the other of which is slightly miscible in water so as to allow more specifically the microdispersion of the organic phase in the aqueous phase in which the hardening of the microspheres is carried out. This process results in the preparation of LHRH-containing microspheres which are remarkable by virtue of their purity, especially in microspheres with a complex matrix, as well as in formulations comprising at least two types of microspheres.

Abstract: The device (1) on a vehicle for spraying spheres, small balls or reflection bodies (4) onto a freshly applied paint on a road surface comprises a tubular container (3) which is filled with reflection bodies (4) and which opens into a box (2) in such a manner that a sphere accumulation remains lying in the box and is constantly renewed when the spheres (4) present are carried away. The spheres (4) are carried away by a compressed-air jet (10) and conducted through a distributing pipe (17) onto the road surface marking. By means of a wedge-shaped projection (16) in the box interior, the bodies (4) are conducted from an impact surface (18) against the ceiling wall (6') and away therefrom in the axial direction (B) of the distributing pipe (17) so that they practically do not touch the inner wall of the latter and consequently the speed of the spheres (4) is not impaired. As a result of the high speed of the spheres (4) out of the distributing pipe (17), these are practically shot into the paint and remain firmly anchored therein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Décodeur d'informations vidéo auxiliaires destiné à décoder des signaux d'informations vidéo auxiliaires tels que des données de légende fermées, qui comprend un éminceur de données (210) à niveau de comparaison variable. Ledit niveau de comparaison est réglé en réponse à l'amplitude d'un signal d'horloge de mise en marche (RIC) qui est inclus dans la partie d'informations vidéo auxiliaires du signal vidéo. Le réglage du niveau de comparaison consiste à établir la moyenne de l'amplitude du signal RIC pendant un nombre pratiquement entier de cycles du signal RIC qui se déroulent pendant un intervalle de commande (RICWND). La synchronisation de la forme d'onde du signal RIC par rapport à l'intervalle de commande est évaluée pour vérifier que le nombre désiré de cylces du signal RIC se déroule pendant un intervalle de commande. L'opération d'évaluation de la synchronisation consiste à compter (250) les cycles du signal RIC pendant un intervalle de commande. Si le nombre désiré de cycles n'est pas atteint, la synchronisation de l'intervalle de commande est modifiée (200, 220, 230) par rapport au signal RIC et la synchronisation est réévaluée pendant un intervalle de commande ultérieur. Les opérations d'évaluation et de modification de la synchronisation peuvent être répétées jusqu'à ce que le nombre désiré de cycles du signal RIC soit détecté. Si une opération répétée ne fournit pas le résultat désiré, un signal de commande peut être généré, indiquant que le signal vidéo ne comprend peut-être pas d'informations vidéo auxiliaires.

Abstract: A bonded element of superconductive oxide materials having a high current density and a method for manufacturing such an element. The bonded element is such that regularly oriented superconductive oxide materials are bonded through the same kind of superconductive phase having the same crystalline orientation as, but a peritectic temperature lower than that of the bonding materials. The bonding method is such that the crystalline orientations of the bonding superconductive oxide materials are adjusted on the bonding surface; a substance which is formed by the constituent elements of the superconductive oxide material having a peritectic temperature lower than that of the material is inserted as the solder or is caused to contact each of the bonding superconductive oxide materials on the bonding surface; these materials are heated at a temperature lower than the peritectic temperature of the bonding materials, but higher than the peritectic temperature of the solder; and these are gradually cooled so that the same kind of oxide superconductor is grown and oriented on the bonded surface. In this way, it is possible to obtain a bonded element of the superconductive oxide materials having a high critical current density without grain boundaries that may hinder the flow of the electric current. The element can be used as a material for magnets, magnetic shields, and current leads.
