Abstract: Manufacturing line consists of feed post for droppers, extrusion head for hose, and calibration unit to shape hose after insertion of droppers. It also has tube through which droppers pass, situated in line with extrusion axis. The manufacturing line (1) consists of a feed post (2) for the droppers (4), e.g. in the form of injection-moulded plastic bushes with labyrinth channels, an extrusion head (6) for the hose, and a calibration unit (10) to shape the hose after insertion of the droppers. It also has a tube (36) through which the droppers (4) pass, situated in line with the extrusion axis. The tube extends from an upstream position partly into the extrusion head, and downstream partly into the calibration unit or almost to its outlet, with the position of the tube end (40) adjustable axially to take into account the position of the hose at the outlet from the calibration unit and the point at which the droppers are best engaged with the hose.

Title: Printing by switching sub-scan feeding between monochromatic area and color area
Inventor: OTSUKI KOICHI
IPC: B41J2/21
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: Efficient printing of data including two types of areas in the sub-scan
direction, color areas and monochromatic areas, is present. In
monochromatic mode printing, when specific situation has come, the process
shifts to color mode printing, after a designated positioning feed Sm1 is
performed and a unit scan operation is performed while forming dots on main
scan lines Lr1 of the monochromatic area. The situation is defined as follows,
(A) when the main scan lines of the lower edge of the main scan lines
recorded in a unit scan operation are in a color area, when a monochromatic
mode sub-scan Sm is performed next, and (B) when the main scan lines of the
lower edge of the achromatic unit band are not in a color area, when in place
of the monochromatic mode sub-scan Sm, a color mode sub-scan Sc (Sc < Sm)
is performed. The positioning feed is a feed that performs a sub-scan so that
the position separated downward by the width L1 of the achromatic unit
band from the upper edge nozzle is in a relative position that matches the
main scan line of the lower edge of the monochromatic area.

Abstract: A credit card system is provided which has the added feature of providing additional
limited use credit card numbers and/or cards. These numbers and/or cards can be
used for a single or limited use transaction, thereby reducing the potential for fraudulent
reuse of these numbers and/or cards. The credit card system finds application to "card
remote" transactions such as by phone or Internet. Additionally, when a single use or
limited use credit card is used for "card present" transactions, so called "skimming"
fraud is eliminated. Various other features enhance the credit card system, which will
allow secure trade without the use of elaborate encryption techniques. Methods for
limiting, distributing and using a limited use card number, controlling the validity of a
limited use credit card number, conducting a limited use credit card number transaction
and providing remote access devices for accessing a limited use credit card number
are also provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for establishing or modifying a data source comprising a
plurality of entries related to biological sequences that are non-redundant with regard to said
sequences on the basis of a plurality of data sets of one or more basic data sources, each of
said data sets comprising a biological sequence, said method comprising the steps of:
     retrieving for one or more data sets a biological sequence contained in the data set and
generating a hash key from the biological sequence thus retrieved by applying a collision-free
hash function, said hash function mapping the data representing said sequence
onto a message of a length shorter than the length of the original data representing
the sequence,   for each of said data sets, adding information for retrieving information from said data
set to an entry in a reference data source uniquely related to the hash key generated
from said sequence contained in said data set, wherein a new entry in said reference
data source is provided which comprises one unique hash key and information for retrieving
the data set or data sets comprising the sequence from which said hash key
was generated, if said reference data source does not comprise an entry related to said

IPC: H04L49/9023
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed in which a buffer receives a first
content stream (201) carrying a content channel signal. The first content
stream (201) carries the content channel signal at a rate substantially greater than
the streaming content playout rate, for initially loading the buffer. The buffer
switches its reception of the content channel signal from the first content
stream (201) to a second content stream (202). The second content stream (202)
is at a rate substantially the same as the streaming content playout rate.
Generally, this switch occurs when some predefined threshold of the content
channel signal is buffered.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for separating macromolecules, particularly
heteroduplex from homoduplex DNA molecules. The macromolecules undergo a temperature
sensitive structural denaturation which, when it occurs, results in a difference in the mobilities of
the denatured components on a solid support. A polar to non-polar solvent gradient or modified
solid support particular to each sample is not required, since the difference in mobility is
achieved on conventional solid supports using a single mobile phase composition.

Abstract: Heat transfer in coolant circuits, as in an internal
combustion engine for example, can be beneficially
enhanced by maintaining the coolant in a nucleate
boiling state, but undesirable transitions to a film
boiling state are then possible. The disclosed
coolant circuit has a selected surface or surfaces
(12) having a tendency to experience high heat flux
in comparison to adjacent surfaces in the coolant
circuit. These surfaces (12) are provided with a
surface configuration, such as a matrix (14) of
nucleation cavities (16), which has a tendency to
inhibit a change in boiling state. The surface
configuration can be provided on the parent coolant
circuit surface or on a surface of an insert (10)
positioned in the coolant circuit. Thus, transitions
to film boiling can be effectively avoided at
locations in the coolant circuit that are susceptible
to such transitions.
