Patent EP-0849077-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KHALID NAJEEB
IPC: B41F7/18
Filed: 1996-12-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of generating
proofs of print signatures composed of first and
second flats printed on opposite sides of a sheet.
The method of the invention comprises the steps of
(a) providing first and second digital printing
units; (b) feeding a substrate having opposite sides
to the first printing unit; (c) actuating the first
printing unit while feeding thereto digital data
representative of an image of the first flat so as to
imprint one side of the substrate with the image of
the first flat; (d) providing the substrate with a
registration mark at a predetermined location on the
substrate, before or during step (c); (e) conveying
the imprinted substrate from the first printing unit
to the second printing unit and feeding same thereto;
(f) detecting the location of the registration mark
on the substrate and actuating the second printing
unit while feeding thereto digital data
representative of an image of the second flat so as
to imprint the other side of the substrate with the
image of the second flat positioned with respect to
the detected location of the registration mark such
that the image of the second flat registers with the
image of the first flat, thereby obtaining a proof of
a print signature; and (g) discharging the proof of
print signature from the second printing unit. Such a
method enables one to avoid generating films from the
digital data representative of both flats and
preparing a proof from such films.

Abstract: An air bearing is described comprising a shaft (1) encircled by the bearing having an outer shell (2) and three pads (3) made of aluminum truform which are pivoted (4a to 4c) on hardened steel balls (5a to 5c) in mounts (6, 7 and 8) respectively. The three pads (3) are linked to support the shaft (1) by means of O-rings (9), made of silicone rubber, seated in grooves (10) formed near the ends of the pads (3). The itlherent linkage of the pads by the two O-rings (9) dampens out any pad oscillation caused by rotation of the shaft (1).

Title: Process and device for regulating the combustion in a steam generation facility
Inventor: HOFMANN HORST
IPC: F23N5/08
Filed: 1996-02-29
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for regulating the combustion in a steam-generation facility, in which the three-dimensional temperature distribution and concentration profile of at least one reaction product created in the combustion process are determined. In the proposed process, in order to ensure even steam generation with high efficiency and low emission of harmful pollutants, a number of reference values (SWn) for the composition of the reaction mixture (B, L, H) to be fed into the combustion process are determined by fuzzy or neuro-fuzzy logic using the temperature distribution and concentration profile. A device for carrying out the process is provided with at least two optical sensors (2, 3) for picking up radiation data (D) from a combustion chamber (1) and, connected to the sensors, a data processing system (4) which is connected to a control unit (6) provided with a fuzzy or neuro-fuzzy regulator component (5).

La couverture partielle en céramique recouvre sensiblement la totalité du bord coupant de la lame ainsi qu'une partie relativement faible de sa surface de cisaillement adjacente au bord coupant. Si désiré, une partie angulaire plus grande (29b, 28f) de la surface de cisaillement peut être recouverte. La couverture en céramique est appliquée soit par masquage de la partie de la lame qui n'est pas à recouvrir et par pulvérisation de céramique sur la lame masquée, soit par liaison d'un élément en céramique mince à ladite lame. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, une lame de ciseau (126, 128) est dotée d'une rainure à gorge (128g) recevant un insert sur une partie de sa surface de cisaillement adjacente à son bord coupant. Un insert en céramique (129) présentant une partie de languette (129c) au contact de la rainure est inséré dans la rainure à gorge (128g) et forme un bord coupant en céramique sur la lame métallique. L'invention concerne également un instrument (10) de type ciseaux de cautérisation bipolaire endoscopique utilisant les lames partiellement recouvertes de l'invention.

Abstract: SOD and other active oxygen inhibitors are directly applied in combination with a barrier material at local sites of tissue injury to prevent or decrease formation of adhesions and undesirable proliferation of cells. Preferred barrier materials are polymeric hydrogels providing controlled release of AOI which are directly applied to the afflicted tissue. Examples demonstrate the effects of SOD on pelvic adhesions in the rat when administered by intraperitoneal (I.P.) bolus and by localized sustained release from a topically applied hydrogel system.

Abstract: In a multiple-stage-connected multiple-mode piezoelectric filter unit having a single container 1 in which there are connected, in cascade, two multiple-mode piezoelectric filter elements comprising at least one piezoelectric substrate and two electrode groups each comprising a pair of input/output electrodes and a grounding electrode, the electrode pairs being formed on one side of the piezoelectric substrate with a predetermined gap provided and the grounding electrodes being formed on the other side of the piezoelectric substrate at positions respectively opposite to the electrode pairs, it is an object of the present invention to enhance the ability of preventing the two filter elements from being coupled with each other, thus facilitating the final adjustment thereof. Formed in a single container 1 are two piezoelectric substrates 2, 3 on each of which formed are a pair of input/output electrodes and a grounding electrode. All the electrodes except for the grounding electrodes 23, 33 on the piezoelectric substrates 2, 3 are respectively connected to connection terminals 11 to 16 independently formed on the container 1. The arrangement above-mentioned restrains the two piezoelectric filter elements connected in cascade to each other from interfering with each other. Thus, there is obtained a small and highly-efficient multiple-stage-connected multiple-mode piezoelectric filter unit useful particularly for a portable communication device or the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, direct anti-tumor proliferating, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a homogenate of cartilage in an aqueous solution, this homogenate being centrifuged and further fractionated to obtain a total extract having molecules of a molecular weight comprised between 0 to 500 KDa. The composition of the liquid extract has then been investigated by different ways. Further fractionation of this extract led to the preliminary characterization of some of its active components. Due to the multiplicity of biological activities of the total liquid extract, it can be used for treating numerous diseases or conditions such as those having components selected from the group consisting of tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation and collagenolysis. This extract has no offensive effect on normal body functions. Therefore, this shark cartilage extract has a very promising therapeutic value. The process for the obtention of cartilage extracts is simple and efficient. The unexpectedly valuable products obtained by this process are therefore an indication of a new and non-obvious process.
