Abstract: A document is printed with graphical symbols which encode information but are not human readable; the graphical symbols are formed into some or all of visible element printed on the document. The outline of this element is used for synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element. In prior art systems, synchronising an automated process for scanning the document to extract the encoded information from the element requires large scale arrangement of the graphical symbols (e.g. a horizontal line of glyphs which are all forward facing and which intersect a vertical line of glyphs which are all rearward facing). This considerably mars the appearance of a printed document. This negative impact on appearance has been one of the major causes inhibiting the uptake of graphical symbol technology for encoding information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing fabric-reinforced capillary membranes, particularly for ultrafiltration, in which a fabric tube (1) is coated with a polymer solution and is guided through a precipitation bath (6), where the polymer solution is converted into a microporous layer in the precipitation bath (6), and a membrane that is reinforced by the fabric tube is formed. According to the invention, the fabric tube coated with the polymer solution passes through the precipitation bath (6) from top to bottom, without mechanical contact, and exits through a nozzle (7) at the bottom. Liquid flows out of the nozzle (7), which liquid exerts a tensile force stabilizing the course of the coated fabric tube, on the capillary membrane (8) leaving the precipitation bath.

Abstract: The solution concerns a process of production of N-alkyl-2-benzthiazolylsulfeneimides by means of a reaction of 2-benzthiazolylsulfenyl chloride with an excess of a corresponding alkylamine in an anhydrous reaction medium. Removement of water and moisture from the reaction medium is ensured by azeotropic distillation of a part of the solvent. The method solves also trapping of the excess amine by extraction with water to recycle it in the process, removing of the unconverted raw material from the crude product by chemical refining with aqueous lye and extraction of by-products and pitches by elutriating the product in an organic solvent with the aim to obtain pure benzthiazolylsulfeneimide containing no less than 95% of the active substance, which can be used as a vulcanization accelerator in ruber mixtures. A device for performing this method consists of a reactor with a multiple propeller mixer on a common shaft

Abstract: A hemodialysis apparatus that carries out hemodialysis treatment by measuring or calculating the blood volume or its volume change as a blood indication level, and by controlling dialysis conditions according to said target blood indication level, wherein the chronological course of said blood indication level is defined as a target control line, and the primary blood volume (BV0) can be calculated as blood indication level. In the former part of the dialysis operation, the water removal is controlled so that the circulating blood volume in the body approach to the standard blood volume (BV st) with the use of said target control line. After the water removal of the former part of the dialysis operation, when the circulating blood volume in the body attains the standard blood volume (BV st), the latter part of the dialysis operation is started. In said latter part of the dialysis operation, the water removal operation is performed by substantively maintaining said standard blood volume (BV st). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The cleaning member A1 for a medical tube is shaped like a spherical body having a porous fibrous structure formed of a large number of superfine fibers aggregated and intertwined three-dimensionally. The spherical body moves along a lumen surface of the medical tube together with a cleaning liquid, with the cleaning member wiping and cleaning the lumen surface of the medical tube. <??>The porous member A1 for cleaning the treatment appliance insertion lumen of the endoscope is formed approximately spherically by molding a large number of superfine fibers. The porous member A1 can be swelled with an aqueous cleaning liquid. When the porous member Al swells, the outer diameter of the porous member A1 becomes larger than the inner diameter of a treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of an endoscope D to be cleaned. Further because the porous member A1 deforms, the porous member A1 can be inserted into the treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of the endoscope D. Moreover, the aqueous cleaning liquid flowing into the treatment appliance insertion lumen 44 of the endoscope D allows the porous member A1 to move in contact with an inner wall of the lumen 44. <IMAGE>
