Granted: 2013-10-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un indicateur de suivi thermique destiné à être fixé sur des marchandises. Un changement de phase lié à la température dans un matériau de l'indicateur donne une indication sur l'occurrence d'une température élevée. En configuration préférée, un colorant hydrosoluble et insoluble dans les lipides est immobilisé dans un lipide dont le point de fusion correspond à une température particulière et dont tous les éléments constitutifs sont à base de matière comestible. A la fusion, le colorant se dissout dans l'eau présente dans une phase secondaire ou les marchandises elles-mêmes donnent une indication visuelle. Selon une autre configuration, un premier réactif dans un lipide solide et un second réactif maintenu dans une phase secondaire font que la fusion du lipide permet au premier réactif de réagir avec le second réactif, donnant ainsi une indication d'occurrence de température élevée. L'invention concerne également des configurations dans lesquelles les indications sont diachroniques.

Abstract: A supplementary power drive system for providing additional power to the rotor drive system of rotary wing aircraft powering the lifting rotor and tail mounted torque compensating rotor (13) in a manner as avoids overloading the designed capacity of the main engine powered transmission (12). The supplementary power system, utilizing the power of a normally installed auxiliary power plant as a source of additional power, bypasses the transmission (12) in adding the additional power to the rotor system and directs it first to the tail rotor (13) in an amount as the tail rotor (13) can absorb under the imposed flight mode with remaining power being available to drive the main rotor. This is accomplished by incorporating a power transfer unit, preferably a one-stage gear train (22), that delivers power from the auxiliary power plant through the tail rotor drive system (14) selectively first to the tail rotor (13) and then the transmission (12).

Title: Method and apparatus for optimized image processing
Inventor: CABANA GLENN EDWARD
IPC: B41J5/30
Filed: 2001-11-16
Granted: 2003-07-08
Abstract: An image processing system for digital printing for improving throughput and efficiency of the transfer of image data to imaging devices, such as lasers, while allowing for dynamic and continuous adjustment of image size and registration (i.e., alignment) on recording media. A buffer memory structure is configured to receive data from raw image files. Specific portions of data are copied from the raw image files into a buffer memory structure and, for compilation of the final image, into an image buffer. Image overlap is resolved by copying data into the image buffer according to a defined hierarchy. Using a phase locked loop, image size and registration are adjusted to optimize the appearance of the final image on the recording medium. The optimization is performed dynamically and continuously, thereby providing a uniform final image. Many aspects of the operation of the image processing system may be under the control of a digital computer.

Abstract: A virtual addressing buffer circuit has improved address mapping and control flexibility for improved physical resource management and a unique opportunity for forward-compatible system design. The virtual addressing buffer formats the output address utilizing a format register as a combination of the new address bits and the original input address bits. The ability to format the output address enables the user to replace certain address bits without requiring that the entire address be replaced. The virtual addressing buffer controls the output of several command signals to external circuits to indicate how the system should respond to the address output from the virtual addressing server. The command signals are controlled by a command register and are output from the virtual addressing buffer only when an address match has been verified. The virtual addressing buffer circuit filters out certain bits of an input address as indicated by a filter register before it verifies that the input address matches a stored address.      The bit pattern in the filtering register is not fixed, so any bit location in the input address can be filtered out before the address is verified. Once an address match has been detected, the virtual addressing buffer replaces the entire input address with a new formatted address.

Abstract: The invention discloses several novel therapeutic properties and methods of treatment using the recombinant erythropoietin prepared by expression from the Apa I restriction fragment of human genomic erythropoietin DNA transformed into baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) according to U.S. Patent No. 5,688,697 to Powell. This recombinant erythropoietin designated herein as Epoetin Omega is shown to possesses several unexpected and superior qualities over other recombinant erythropoietins such as those designated Epoetin Alfa and Beta which are prepared from genomic or cDNA expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) according to U.S. Patent Nos. 4,703,008 and 5,955,422 to Lin. The superior properties of Epoetin Omega include, but are not limited to, a much higher potency, a much more rapid response (i.e. no latency), longer effective serum levels, much lower antigenicity in human subjects, therapeutic activity in subjects non-responsive to the other epoetins, fewer adverse side effects such as incidents of thrombosis, reduced nausea, reduced pain at the site of injection, reduction in body pain, and most significantly, the absence of, or reduced risk of, increased blood pressure or hypertension. These novel properties provide for novel therapeutic methods including, treatment of anemia and treatment of conditions other than anemia such as fatigue or vascular pain, treatment in patients adversely effected by hypertension such as patients with heart conditions or at increased risk of thrombosis, treatment in oncology settings with and without chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and treatment with novel dosing regiments that include much lower doses and lower administration frequencies of as few as once per week or less.
