Abstract: An automatic system (10) for sorting items, such as small parcels, into groups bound for different geographical locations is described. The system (10) includes a carriage (14) for travelling along a track (12), the carriage having an adjustment feature such that it may continuously be held against the track. The carriage also provides a tilt tray (60) in which packages are presented on a convex surface. The convex surface causes the package to be destabilized, so they may be quickly discharged from the tilt tray.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for cancer diagnosis are disclosed. The diagnostic method includes the steps of irradiating a tissue sample with monochromatic excitation light, producing a laser-induced fluorescence spectrum from emission radiation generated by interaction of the excitation light with the tissue sample, and dividing the intensity at each wavelength of the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum by the integrated area under the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum to produce a normalized spectrum. A mathematical difference between the normalized spectrum and an average value of a reference set of normalized spectra which correspond to normal tissues is calculated, which provides for amplifying small changes in weak signals from malignant tissues for improved analysis. The calculated differential normalized spectrum is correlated to a specific condition of a tissue sample.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des échangeurs thermiques à plaques (4, 6) permettant de faire varier les proportions relatives de réfrigérant liquide et de vapeur de réfrigérant, pour que le réfrigérant dans les deux phases reste en équilibre durant tout le transit dans l'échangeur thermique (4, 6). Le trajet d'écoulement peut être agencé pour avoir une configuration boustrophédonique, avec un premier jeu et un second jeu de sous-canaux alternés et parallèles (36, 38, 46, 48), où la résistance à l'écoulement du réfrigérant liquide dans chacun des sous-canaux du premier jeu (38, 48) est supérieure à la résistance à l'écoulement dans les sous-canaux respectifs adjacents du second jeu (36, 46). La configuration du canal pour le réfrigérant dans l'échangeur thermique (4, 6) peut être choisie de manière à ce que la résistance à l'écoulement du réfrigérant soit plus élevée à une extrémité qu'à l'autre. On peut obtenir ce résultat en conférant à une ou à plusieurs plaques un profil de surface (14) tel que la résistance à l'écoulement du fluide d'échange thermique dans le canal soit plus élevée dans une région (18, 20) de la longueur du canal que dans une autre région (16, 22).

Abstract: A process for producing a high purity 2,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (2,4'-isomer) comprising separating 2,4'-isomer from 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (4,4'-isomer) by adding a hydroxide of an alkali metal in an amount which is the total of an amount by mol 1.6 to 2.2 times as great as the amount by mol of 2,4'-isomer and an amount by mol 0.8 to 1.2 times as great as the amount by mol of 4,4'-isomer to a solution of a mixture of 2,4'-isomer and 4,4'-isomer containing 15 % by weight or more of 2,4'-isomer in water, to allow 2,4'-isomer to remain dissolved in water in the form of a dialkali metal salt thereof and 4,4'-isomer to be precipitated from the solution in the form of a monoalkali metal salt thereof. A carbonate of an alkali metal may also be used. In order to accelerate the operation, an excess amount of the alkali may be added, which is subsequently neutralized. A high purity 2,4'-isomer having a purity of 95 to 99.5 % by weight can be obtained easily with a high yield from a mixture of the isomers containing 15 % by weight or more of 2,4'-isomer.

Abstract: The present invention includes a connector that mates to the software-controllable parallel port output connector on a host device, a passive logic unit, and, preferably, a host-executable software program. The connector provides four loop-back connections: the AUTOFEED and FAULT pins are looped-together, as are the STROBE and BUSY pins, the INITIALIZE and SELECT pins, and the SELECT IN and PRINTER ERROR pins. The eight pins for data line output signals are input to the passive logic, which logic logically "OR's" the data line signals. The logical-OR output signal is fed back to the ACKNOWLEDGE pin of the connector, and signal ground pins on the connector are connected to ground. During testing, the connector and passive logic unit are connected to the host output parallel port, which typically is a 1284-compliant or other Centronics parallel-compatible port. The host device executes the software program, causing combinations of "1's" and "0's" to be input to various pins in the host parallel port output connector. The resultant signal at the test connector ACKNOWLEDGE pin enables the host to determine integrity of the host output port signals and host output port connector. The software program can provide user-readable error messages in English on a monitor coupled to the host, advising technicians as to what pin or pins are open or shorted on the host parallel port connector.

Abstract: A subject lens is held by two chuck shafts (100,150), which are rotated synchronously by pulse motors during a grinding operation. Chamfering and other grinding wheels are mounted on a rotary shaft of a lens grinding part (300R,300L). A desired grinding wheel for each processing is selected by moving the rotary shaft vertically. In the case of rough processing, the rotary shaft is moved by a pulse motor toward the center of the chuck shafts based on lens frame shape data. In the case of chamfering, the rotary shaft is moved toward the center of the chuck shafts as well as vertically based on chamfering data. To produce part of the chamfering data, a lens measuring section (400) measures the shapes of the front and rear surfaces of the subject lens.

Abstract: A conventional full wave diode bridge of an alternator (106) is replaced with a full wave controlled rectifier bridge (108) having controlled switches in place of diodes. Phase control is performed by the switches of the controlled rectifier bridge to pre-empt natural commutation and shift the phase of the alternator phase voltages relative to the phase currents. The phase angle control disrupts the normal unity power factor operation of the alternator and causes additional reactive current flow in a three phase stator winding (116) of the alternator to source the controlled rectifier bridge (108). The result is that for the same operating conditions the controlled switches of the controlled rectifier bridge boost output from the alternator by from 40% to 60%.
