Abstract: A hot dip coating system comprises a bath of molten coating metal contained in a vessel having a strip passage opening located below the top surface of the bath. A metal strip (32) is directed along a path extending through the strip passage opening (43) and through the bath of molten coating metal (40), to coat the strip. An electromagnet (50) is employed to prevent the escape of the bulk of the molten coating metal from the bath through the strip passage opening while permitting the strip to move along its path. Expedients are provided to reduce leakage of molten coating metal through the strip passage opening.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ink-jet printing method and
apparatus for jetting ink successively from nozzles (1-1,1-2) of
an ink-jet head at a prescribed frequency and forming
each of a number of pixels by a plurality of dots
conforming to the tone of the pixel. Each nozzle (1-1,1-2) of the
ink-jet head has a heater A (607,611) and a heater B (609,613). Printing is
performed by changing the number of heaters actuated to
jet an ink drop, thereby to control the formation of a
large or small dot by each nozzle (1-1,1-2), and by changing the
method of driving the heaters A (607,611) and B (609,613) in dependence upon
the density of the ink used. In regard to the timings
at which the large and small dots are formed by each
nozzle (1-1,1-2), the small dot is formed first. As a result, the
large and small dots can be made to overlap so that an
image having excellent tone reproducibility can be
printed.

Abstract: The particularity of the system in question is that
it permits application of messages indicating the
validity date on packages of perishable goods, taking
them from pre-printed self-adhesive label forms that
carry the message both in letters for the blind, for
example in Braille or the like, with the corresponding
message in alphanumerical lettering, preferably so that
each message is formed both with a predetermined text
and a modular text made by combining standard prefixes
and additional suffixes. 
     The system basically exploits self-adhesive labels
(1) carrying messages regarding expiration dates given
both in alphanumerical lettering (2) and in lettering
like that of Braille (3) so that each letter of the
alphanumerical message corresponds to letters in the
Braille message.

Abstract: This relates to a contrast medium containing a complex of a gadolinium
(Gd) type contrast agent and a polymer. More particularly, the contrast medium
wherein the polymer capable of phase transit in response to environmental
changes, particularly, pH, light or temperature, to develop a different water
solubility, and a method for imaging by the use of this contrast medium. By
binding a polymer responsive to microenvironmental changes with a Gd type MRI
contrast agent, on-off switching of MRI imaging capability is enabled, wherein
imaging occurs only on the target sites. Consequently, a highly specific MRI
contrast medium can be obtained, whereby a highly specific MRI diagnosis is made
possible, wherein only the target sites such as a tumor and a particular site are
imaged and otherwise at the site where imaging is not necessary.

Abstract: A cable transit for protecting against the ingress of liquids and electromagnetic disturbances at a transit location in a wall, including a sleeve and a nut for fitting the transit tightly in the wall. The transit also includes a cable seal which comprises two semi-cylindrical bodies made of a compressible material and together fitting in the sleeve. The semi-cylindrical bodies have an adaptable center hole for accommodating a cable to be passed through the wall, and include several peelable layers. The semi-cylindrical bodies can be pressed together in tight abutment with the sleeve and with the cable, by means of the nut. The standard earthed cable sheet is earthed by means of a conductive screen. At least one peelable layer is removed along a part of the semi-cylindrical bodies, so that the semi-cylindrical bodies will present, at that part, a center hole whose diameter is greater than the diameter along the remaining part of the semi-cylindrical bodies. Each semi-cylindrical body is covered with a conductive part-screen along the remaining part.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la combinaison de techniques de vision artificielle et d'infographie pour localiser de manière effective une cible (par exemple, un utilisateur) et exécuter une fonction sur la base de l'image et/ou de l'identité attribuée au visage de la cible. On utilise trois modules primaires pour localiser la tête d'un utilisateur: une estimation de profondeur, une segmentation de couleurs et une classification de motifs. La combinaison de ces trois techniques permet d'obtenir des résultats effectifs en dépit d'un environnement inconnu, de la présence d'une foule et d'un changement rapide d'attitude ou d'expression de l'utilisateur. Chaque module peut également servir de module de classification d'identité contenant des informations intéressantes qui permettent d'évaluer l'identité d'un utilisateur. Avec une estimation de la position d'une cible en 3-D et de l'identité de la cible, on peut mettre en oeuvre des applications telles que des programmes informatiques ou des techniques graphiques individualisés pour déformer le visage de l'utilisateur et/ou créer des morphes de la forme ou de caractéristiques physiques apparentes du visage de l'utilisateur. Le système peut localiser ou réagir au visage d'un utilisateur en temps réel au moyen de techniques passives et non effractives.
