Title: Revetements organiques conducteurs
Inventor: WICHELHAUS WINFRIED
IPC: H01B1/22
Filed: 1998-10-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions anti-corrosion conductrices et soudables, à base de résines polyuréthannes (bloquées), de résines époxy, ainsi que de durcisseurs azotés et de charges conductrices. Ces compositions s'utilisent pour revêtir des surfaces métalliques notamment des tôles d'acier, par couchage sur bande, et se distinguent par une basse température de cuisson, une nette réduction de la rouille blanche sur la tôle d'acier galvanisée lors de l'essai au brouillard salin, ainsi que par une amélioration de l'adhérence du revêtement organique sur le substrat métallique. Ces revêtements assurent également une protection suffisante contre la corrosion, même en présence d'un faible chromage, de préférence également avec des procédés de prétraitement sans Cr. Des tôles ainsi revêtues peuvent être soudées par points à l'aide de tous les procédés classiques.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides having homology to the <u>PRO533</u> protein and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention, and methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention. The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis and/or autocrine signaling. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act of predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. Furthermore, the compounds, compositions including antagonists and methods of the present invention are further expected to have therapeutic effect upon conditions characterized by FgF-19 modulation.

Abstract: An inkjet printing system (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) includes a permanent or semi-permanent
inkjet pen (28, 30, 32, 34) containing small glass beads (58) for ink containment and to
provide backpressure to the ink. The inkjet pen walls (50) are transparent, and the printer
has an optical sensor (60) that detects changes in reflectivity in the glass heads (58). The
glass beads (58) change in reflectivity depending on whether or not they are saturated
with ink. The change in reflectivity therefore functions as an effective out-of-ink
detector. When an out of ink indication is made, the printer (Fig. 4, Fig. 5) executes a
refill of the pen (28, 30, 32, 34). Two embodiments of refill mechanisms are disclosed: a
trailing tube design (Fig. 1, Fig. 4), and a take-a-sip design.

Inventor: FALCO ROBERT N
IPC: A61F11/08
Filed: 1999-04-21
Abstract: The present invention presents a selective nonlinear attenuating earplug. The earplug is tunable by the wearer and permits the wearer to select the performance of the earplug. The earplug of the present invention can function either in a selective attenuation mode or a maximum attenuation mode. The selective capability of the earplug permits a wearer to select the degree of desired sound attenuation depending upon the particular environment surrounding the wearer. In the selective attenuation mode, sound attenuation is low for a specific range of intensities and increases for sounds with intensity above those in the specified range. Selective attenuation is especially effective for the loudest noises. The advantage of a selective attenuation mode is especially realized when the wearer wishes to receive an intelligible speech transmission while being situated in a noisy environment while still protecting the wearer from dangerous noises. The present invention is particularly useful when the noisy environment is caused by high continuous or pulsed noises, such as gunshots or those noises generated in an industrial setting. In the maximum attenuation mode, the hearing protector stops all sounds throughout the frequency range, regardless of their intensity.

Patent EP-0972644-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIOKA ATSUSHI
IPC: B41J2/165
Filed: 1999-07-15
Abstract: An ink jet printer reliably prevents printing defects resulting from bubbles remaining in the ink
path after ink priming. An ink suction mechanism (6) of the ink jet printer performs a post-priming
process for sucking ink from the nozzles when an hour has passed after the ink priming
process. This process sucks a large volume of ink from the ink nozzles, and can thus reliably
expel bubbles from the ink path. By performing this process at a sufficiently long time interval
after ink priming, enough time has elapsed for bubbles that are formed by the ink path filter
during ink priming and collect in offsets in the ink path to grow to a size where the bubbles
protrude from the offset into the ink path. Bubbles that are thus freed into the ink path can
therefore be reliably expelled from the nozzles. Printing defects resulting from bubbles left by ink
priming can thus be reliably prevented.
