Abstract: An open-ended spinning assembly has a swivel-action fibre band feed cylinder with a helical gear engaging with a shaft-driven worm gear. The helical gear esp. has an overlain peak profile to ensure immediate engagement by the worm gear. The helical gear (23) is esp. transposed on the shaft (24) with respect to a symmetrical plane (42) at right angles to the drive shaft (24).  The plane (42) intersects the lowest point (45) in the overlain gear thread (41), along the drive shaft (24) axis with respect to the worm gear (22) centre axis (44) swivel plane (43). The gear further has a pre-positioning assembly (30) which presents the worm gear (22) in a position which is determined by the distance (x) by which the helical gear (23) is transposed. The worm gear (22) teeth (35) then swivel accurately into the helical gear (22) thread. A worm gear tooth (35) centreline (33) is presented at an angle theta (f) to the worm gear swivel plane (43), as determined by the transposition (x) value. The value theta is calculated using the formula f = sin 72asterisk (x/2)

Abstract: A signal transmission system is constructed to
transmit data over a signal transmission line without
requiring precharging the signal transmission line for
every bit, by eliminating the intersymbol interference
component introduced by preceding data. The signal
transmission line has a plurality of switchable signal
transmission lines organized in a branching structure or
a hierarchical structure, at least one target unit from
which to read data is connected to each of the plurality
of signal transmission lines, and a readout circuit
including a circuit for eliminating the intersymbol
interference component is connected to the signal
transmission line, wherein the intersymbol interference
component elimination circuit reduces noise introduced
when switching the signal transmission line among the
plurality of signal transmission lines, and thereby
provides a smooth intersymbol interference component
elimination operation when the signal transmission line
is switched. This makes continuous readout possible and
achieves an increase in the overall speed of the signal
transmission system.

Abstract: A lossless encoder and decoder are provided for transmitting a multichannel signal on a
medium such as DVD-Audio. The encoder accepts additionally a downmix specification and
splits the encoded stream into two substreams, such that a two-channel decoder of meagre
computational power can implement the downmix specification by decoding one substream, while
a multichannel decoder can decode the original multichannel signal losslessly using both
substreams. Further features provide for efficient implementation on 24-bit processors, for
confirmation of lossless reproduction to the user, and for benign behaviour in the case of downmix
specifications that result in overload. The principle is also extended to mixed-rate signals, where
for example some input channels are sampled at 48kHz and some are sampled at 96kHz.

Abstract: The procedure for regulating the concentration of sodium in a dialysis fluid at a predetermined level so that the fluid inside the patient tends towards a desired concentration as the patient's blood and dialysis fluid are circulated on either side of a semi-permeable membrane (4) in a dialyser (1) consists of determining the concentration of sodium in the dialysis fluid, the desired concentration, the perfusion flow rate and the concentration in the perfusion fluid and adjusting the dialysis fluid concentration accordingly. The concentration of sodium in the dialysis fluid is determined from a set formula based on the desired concentration, the concentration in the perfusion fluid, the fluid flow rate and the dialyser separating capacity. The separating capacity is determined by circulating at least two dialysis fluids with different conductivities, taking two or more conductivity measurements before and after the dialyser, and calculating the separation capacity from the values obtained, using a second formula.

opposite the opening has a serrated edge opposite a handle (19). A
slot (34) in the opening permits a spring (63) to urge the cam from a
released orientation to an engaged orientation with the serrated
edge extending through the slot. In the released orientation, a
knob retractable spring driven pin extension (45) can extend through a
hole in the cam and secure it in place. In use, the handle is
first used to rotate the cam to the released and secured
orientation. After engagement with the truss, the extension is

After transportation a release cable (20) rotates the cam to the
released and secured orientation to free the truss.

Abstract: Process for producing an integrally asymmetrical hydrophobic polyolefinic membrane with a sponge-like, open-pored, microporous support structure and a separation layer with a denser structure, using a thermally induced liquid-liquid phase separation process. A solution of at least one polyolefin is extruded to form a shaped object. The solvent used is one for which the demixing temperature of a solution of 25% by weight of the polyolefin in this solvent is 10 to 70° C. above the solidification temperature. After leaving the die, the shaped object is cooled using a liquid cooling medium that does not dissolve the polymer up to the die temperature, until the phase separation and solidification of the high-polymer-content phase take place. The integrally asymmetrical membrane producible in this manner has a porosity of greater than 30% to 75% by volume, a sponge-like, open-pored, microporous support layer without macrovoids and with on average isotropic pores, and on at least one of its surfaces a separation layer with pores <100 nm, if any. The membrane is preferably used for gas separation or gas transfer processes, in particular for oxygenation of blood.
