Patent EP-0386614-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEIFETZ AARON H
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1990-03-01
Abstract: Modified hydrophilic prepolymers and polymers are disclosed wherein the prepolymers and polymers are characterized by cell growth enhancement, and, in some instances, antibody production stimulation. Isocyanate-capped oyxethylene-based prepolymers are modified by reaction with a compound having at least one isocyanate (NCO) reactive group. Preferably, the NCO reactive group is a sulfhydryl group, an amino group or a carboxyl group, in quantities sufficient to modify at least a portion of the isocyanate groups of the prepolymer. The prepolymer and polymer also express a free functional group, preferably an amino, sulfonic acid or a sulfhydryl. When the free functional group is sulfhydryl or sulfonic acid, antibody production stimulation, as well as cell growth enhancement, is observed.

Abstract: A method for the automatic clearing of the full bobbins of a bisectional textile machine, especially a winding, spinning or twisting machine on random exchange by means of at least one automatic manipulator (7R,7L) guided along the longitudinal sides of the machine and for depositing the cleared run-off bobbins (3) onto a periodically movable conveyor band (5) common to the two machine sides, arranged in the longitudinal centre of the machine and followed by a buffer zone (6). The manipulator (7R,7L) checks at each point (5.8, 5.5) of a due bobbin change, before the transfer of a full bobbin (3.8R, 3.5L) to the conveyor band (5), whether the conveyor band is free or is already occupied by a full bobbin at this point. In the event of occupation, the manipulator (7R,7L) sends to the conveyor-band drive (8) a control signal, by means of which the conveyor band (5) is periodically moved further until a free position on the conveyor band is reached at this point. As soon as the buffer zone (6) is completely filled with full bobbins (3'), an overriding monitoring device (12) emits an alarm signal which triggers a clearing operation for the conveyor band (5). A degree of utilisation of more than 50 % of the conveyor band can be achieved with the method. …<IMAGE>…

The segments are nested within one another in such a way that the base plate of a heat-exchanging segment (2, 3, 4) is disposed on each side of each PTC heating element (1.1, 1.2). The relationship between the heat capacity and reciprocal thermal resistance of each segment and the heat capacity and reciprocal thermal resistance of each other segment is the same or approximately the same as the relationship between the number of the PTC heating elements (1.1, 1.2) contacted on the base plates of the respective segments (2, 3, 4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mounting to hang an engine to a frame, adapted to insulate the frame from predetermined high-frequency and small-amplitude vibrations. 
     The mounting comprises an envelope, a cover in the form of an elastomeric diaphragm associated with the side walls of the envelope, a pin adapted to receive the engine weight, engagement parts connecting the envelope to the frame. 
     The mounting is comprised of a rocking system consisting of two masses and three elastomeric bodies with rigidities K2, K3, K4. 
     The two masses are connected to each other by one elastomeric body and are in parallel to the elastomeric diaphragm being connected to the pin and envelope by interposition of the two other elastomeric bodies. 
     The diaphragm and the parallel system when high-frequency and small-amplitude vibrations occur, give rise to a dynamic rigidity defined by two peaks and a valley therebetween; one of the peaks has a lower height than the other. 
     The rigidity K2, K3, K4 values of the damping coefficients and the ratio between the rigidity K3 and the overall static rigidity Kst is such that the height of the smaller peak is lower than the value of the overall static rigidity.

Abstract: A CCD imaging array includes one or more shift registers. By injecting a charge packet at one end of the shift register, at times related to the start of line read out, then the charge packet reaches the other end of the shift register at the end of the line period. Thus the shift register can be used to generate line synchronisation signals. The technique can also be applied for more complex waveform generation and for field generation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a natural-­circulation boiling water reactor of the free-surface separation type wherein housed within the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) (10) is a nuclear core (20) which with the RPV defines an annulus region (22) which is in flow communication with a core lower plenum region (24) disposed beneath the nuclear core. Mounted atop the core is a chimney (26) in which free-surface steam separation occurs. The region outside of the chimney defines a downcomer region (18) which is in fluid communication with the chimney. A feedwater inlet (12) is disposed within the RPV. For obtaining load-following capability a riser extension (28) is mounted atop the chimney and in fluid communication with a first upper steam dryer assembly (36) connected to a steam outlet (16). The riser extension may have a plurality of orifices disposed about its outer periphery. A plurality of upstanding vanes, adjacent to the extension orifices if provided, are mounted atop the chimney and define the outer periphery of the riser extension, providing direct fluid communication between the riser extension and the downcomer region. A second upper steam separator assembly (38) is disposed within the RPV and is connected to a second steam outlet (14) disposed within the RPV.   The first steam outlet (16) has a controllable, flow-­restricting valve (40) disposed therewithin. The downcomer region is in fluid communication with the second upper steam separator assembly. The foregoing arrangement permits a fraction of the steam passing through the riser extension to be guided by the vanes to pass to said downcomer region and impinge upon the RPV for separation of liquid water therefrom. The flow restricting valve controls the amount of steam that passes into the second steam separator assembly, and, thus, permits load-following capability for the BWR.

Abstract: A digitizing controller which acquires sequentially position data while profiling the shape of a model and outputs them as NC data. A tracer head (3) is provided with two non-contact distance finders (30a, 30b) for measuring independently the distances to the model surface in parallel with each other in a feeding direction. A sampling circuit (16) samples the values measured by the non-contact distance finders (30a, 30b) every predetermined sampling time. The value measured by the non-contact distance finder (30a) and the value measured by the distance finder (30b) sampled at the previous sampling time are stored in memory means (13). Data of the model surface (4) in the normal direction is determined on the basis of at least three measured values among the values measured by the distance finder (30a) and those by the non-contact distance finder (30b) sampled at the time of this sampling. In this manner, high accuracy data in the normal direction can be obtained at a high speed. This normal direction data is utilized for the calculation of an offset quantity of a tool, and the like.

Abstract: This invention relates to an object recognition method capable of recognizing quickly an object by an optical cutting method. A pattern element curve (A, B, C) forming part of the pattern image, which is obtained when a coded pattern beam is projected from a projector onto an object in a specific posture through a liquid crystal shutter array, is selected and model data consisting of numeric value parameters containing the distance (A, B) between both ends of the curve are extracted from this curve. Model data are generated in accordance with several object postures. When object recognition processing is carried out, belt-like beam and reversed pattern beam obtained by reversing brightness of the former are projected sequentially to the object so as to obtain two images and two slit optical images (a ∼ e, a' ∼ e') are formed on the basis of these two images. Collation data consisting of numeric value parameters containing the distance between the two points (bc, b'c') on each image are extracted from each of the slit optical images. When the difference between the distance parameter (bc, b'c') of the collation data and the distance parameter (AB) of any one of the model data is within an allowable range, the object is judged to be in a posture associated with that model data.
