Abstract: An arrangement relating to a swing damper, particularly a swing damper (1) for carrying a tool (5) that hangs from a crane jib (2) or the like. The swing damper (1) has an upper part (11) that is connected to the crane jib (2), and a lower part (12) that is connected to a work tool (5) or some similar device, either directly or via a rotator (4) for instance. The upper part (11) and the lower part (12) are pivotally interconnected via a slewing joint (13). A brake arrangement (50) included in the swing damper (1) comprises at least one break disc (60) and at least one brake unit (70) that coacts with said disc. The brake disc (60) is either carried by the upper part (11) or the lower part (12) of the swing damper, whereas the brake unit (70) is carried by that part which does not carry the brake disc. The brake disc (60) includes a slot (64) through which a brake unit fastener device (71) extends. The brake unit (70) includes at least two brake components (72), each being placed on a respective side of the brake disc (60). The brake components (72) are pressed into braking abutment with the brake disc (60), by means of spring devices (73) or by a pressure medium adapted to act between the fastener device (71) and the brake components (72).

Abstract: Methods for treating treating fibrosis in a mammal are described. An antifibrotic effective amount of a peptide having the formula f-Met-Leu-X where X is selected from the group consisting of Tyr, Tyr-Phe, Phe-Phe and Phe-Tyr is administered to the mammal. The fibrosis may be due to pathological changes resulting, e.g., from pulmonary fibrosis, atherosclerosis, cirrhosis, glomerulosclerosis, chronic pancreatitus, coronary artery disease (such as caused by infection by bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae), trauma or surgical procedures. Examples of surgical procedures that cause fibrosis are post-operative fibrosis peri-neurally in the dura or nerve roots following spinal surgery, tenolysis of injured or repaired tendons with adhesions, neurolysis of damaged or repaired peripheral nerves with adhesions, post-operative adhesions from gynecologic and abdominal surgeries, reparative surgery of the vas deferens or fallopian tubes for reversal of male or female sterilization, and surgical repair of other tubular structures such as urethra, intestine or esophagus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting a windshield wiper on a vehicle body. Said mounting device comprises an elongated support with a pre-assembled wiper motor, a transmission, a driving crank and a transmission rod assembly that is linked with said driving crank and with at least the drive shaft for a wiper arm by means of a pivoted lever. The support structure is linked with the vehicle body in three mounting points. It is the aim of the invention to design a mounting device that requires only little assembly space for mounting the equipped support structure on the vehicle body and that facilitates the assembly. To this end, two of the mounting points (P1 and P2) that are used to establish a firm connection with the vehicle body are located along the longitudinal axis of the support structure (1) and are spaced apart from one another. The third mounting point (P3) is located at a distance from the connecting line between said mounting points (P1, P2) and is configured as a connector element (10) of a vibration-free and noise-reduced connector for a counter piece (11) to be firmly mounted on the vehicle body. The direction of connection is substantially transversal to the rotational axis of the drive crank (6) that drives the drive rod assembly (7).

Abstract: A method and a Network Element (NE) for manifesting alarms by forming a so called combined Data Quality Byte (DQB) for a particular SDH/SONET data transmission stream. The DQB indicates status of alarms at a particular location of the telecommunication network, via which the stream is transmitted. The DQB can be formed by arranging a plurality of alarm signals, currently actual for the particular data transmission stream, in a predetermined byte associated with the stream frame. The NE, upon receiving from an upstream network element a data transmission stream with its DQB 1 formed upstream, creates an updated DQB 2 and compares DQB 1 with DQB 2 to manifest an alarm status change DeltaDQB for estimating quality of transmission via the network section.

Abstract: An improved calcium-enriched composition and method of supplementing food products with the composition are provided. Broadly, the compositions include respective sources of phosphate ions, citrate ions, and calcium ions, metal hydroxides, and water, with the molar ratio of citrate ions to phosphate ions in the composition being from about 1.0:1.35 to about 1.0:2.35. The compositions have high solids contents relative to prior art compositions, and at least about 70% of the theoretically available calcium ions remain dispersed in the compositions at ambient temperatures. The compositions are in the form of a colloidal suspension having very little or no sedimentation. Finally, the compositions can be mixed with food products (e.g., cow's milk, soy milk) to substantially increase the calcium available in the product without negatively affecting the taste, color, or smell of the product.

Abstract: The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is computed in a plurality of parallel processors. A DFT of length N is divided into r partial DFTs of length (N/r), in which the r partial DFTs are calculated in separate parallel processors and then combined in a combination phase to form a complete DFT of length (N). The r partial FFTs are able to be computed in parallel multiprocessors by defining the mathematical model of the combination phase in such manner so as to allow the r parallel processors to operate independently and simultaneously. A second embodiment presents a radix-r fast Fourier algorithm that reduces the computational effort as measured by the number of multiplications and permits the N/r parallel processors to operate simultaneously and with a single instruction sequence.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a Rake receiver (R 1 ) for receiving a radio signal and to a searcher (S 8 a, S 8 b) for estimating the delay profile of one or more radio links. The searcher includes means for estimating delay profiles in separate windows. The searcher is arranged for being switched into a single window mode or alternatively into a multiple window mode. In single window mode the delay profiles of separate radio links are estimated in the windows, while in multiple window mode two or more windows are allocated adjacent in time for estimating the delay profile of the same radio link. Thereby, the use of the resources of the searcher can be adapted to the radio environments in which the searcher will be used. The Rake receiver comprises fingers that are grouped into two sets. Within a set of fingers the propagation paths are time aligned. The output from the two set of fingers are time aligned and then combined.
