Abstract: The first object of the new innovation is both to improve and regulate the production conditions for skin-core type polyolefin fibers so that the product fibers have better physical characteristics than before. The second object of the innovation is to manufacture from the said fibers nonwoven-fabrics with strength and softness characteristics that are better than before. The method is especially adapted for large-scale productional melt spinning apparatuses having a short cooling system. One part of the method is aimed at controlled molten-state polymer oxidation and the other part at the control and modification of the molecular weight distribution of the said polymer, by adding thereto, if necessary, prior to the spinning nozzle, a very short chain polymer of the same quality. Characteristic features of the regulation method are in addition     a low draw ratio, temperature and nozzle diameter at spinning, measurement of the dynamic deformation of the molten filament as a function of time and distance, in order to ensure the supply of oxygen to the filament in the correct place, quantity and temperature, carrying out the oxidation of the filament using an oxidation nozzle separate from the quenching nozzle as a targeted oxidation and, if necessary, using oxygen enriched air increase of the dispersion value of the molecular weight distribution of the product filament when the molecular weights decrease as the oxidation degree increases, decrease of the thermobonding temperature for the product fibers, regulation of the product fabric strengths and their relationship as a function of the degradation degree of the polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the assessment of quantity and quality parameters of biological particles in a liquid analyte material. The method comprises applying a volume of a liquid sample to an exposing domain from which exposing domain electromagnetic signals from the sample in the domain can pass to the exterior, and exposing, onto an array of active detection elements such as CCD-elements, a spatial representation of electromagnetic signals having passed from the domain, the representation being detectable as an intensity by individual active detection elements, under conditions permitting processing of the intensities detected by the array of detection elements during the exposure in such a manner that representation of electromagnetic signals from the biological particles are identified as distinct from representations of electromagnetic signals from background signals. The size of the volume of the liquid sample is sufficiently large to permit the assessment of the quantity and quality parameters to fuilfil a predetermined requirement to the statistical quality of the assessment based on substantially one exposure.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved electrochemical energy storage device. The electrochemical energy storage device includes a number of solid-state, thin-film electrochemical cells which are selectively interconnected in series or parallel through use of an integrated interconnect board. The interconnect board is typically disposed within a sealed housing which also houses the electrochemical cells, and includes a first contact and a second contact respectively coupled to first and second power terminals of the energy storage device. The interconnect board advantageously provides for selective series or parallel connectivity with the electrochemical cells, irrespective of electrochemical cell position within the housing. In one embodiment, a sheet of conductive material is processed by employing a known milling, stamping, or chemical etching technique to include a connection pattern which provides for flexible and selective interconnecting of individual electrochemical cells within the housing, which may be a hermetically sealed housing. Fuses and various electrical and electro-mechanical devices, such as bypass, equalization, and communication devices for example, may also be mounted to the interconnect board and selectively connected to the electrochemical cells.

Abstract: A universal modular glottiscope system includes a set of differently dimensioned elongate tubular elements for insertion into a patient's larynx for laryngoscopic procedures or intubation. Each tubular element has a substantially triangular cross-section distally defined by a substantially planar base and two curved sides which intersect at an apex line and may have varying curvature between the apex line and the base. A distal end opening is defined by an intersection of the cross-section with an imaginary plane at a selected angle to the longitudinal direction of the tubular element. At the proximal end of each tubular element, which is D-shaped in configuration and wider than the distal end, is provided a pair of opposed end slots intermediate the apex line and the base. The planar base is detachable. Above the slots, adjacent the proximal end of each tubular element, is a standardized handle-attachment fitting. A surgeon using the system may inspect the patient and, based on measurements and/or experience, select the most suitable elongate tubular element from the set and manually attach a standardized handle element thereto at the standardized handle-attachment thereof.

Abstract: A method for branching data in a mobile communication terminal to perform data communication between a mobile station and a network which have media access control sublayers. In a data sending mode, each of the media access control sublayers of the mobile station and network attaches logical channel types based on traffic characteristic information and a radio bearer status to a media access control header contained in data to be sent. Then, each of the media access control sublayers branches the data to be sent, to transport channels corresponding to the attached logical channel types. In a data receiving mode, each of the media access control sublayers determines logical channels corresponding to logical channel types of a media access control header contained in received data. Then, each of the media access control sublayers branches the received data to the determined logical channels. Each of the media access control sublayers performs mapping and multiplexing/demultiplexing between logical channels and transport channels according to traffic characteristics to branch data. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently provide various multimedia and packet services. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computing architecture for a motorized land-based vehicle is disclosed. The computing architecture includes a data network comprised of a plurality of interconnected processors, a first group of sensors responsive to environmental conditions around the vehicle, a second group of sensors responsive to the vehicle's hardware systems, and a map database containing data that represent geographic features in the geographic area around the vehicle. A vehicle-environment modeling program, executed on the data network, uses the outputs from the first and second groups of sensors and the map database to provide and continuously update a data model that represents the vehicle and the environmental around the vehicle, including geographic features, conditions, structures, objects and obstacles around the vehicle. Vehicle operations programming applications, executed on the data network, use the data model to determine desired vehicle operation in the context of the vehicle's environment. A driver interface receives the vehicle driver's input. Vehicle control programming, executed on the data network, receives outputs from the vehicle operations programming applications and the driver interface, determines a resolved operation for the vehicle's hardware systems and provides output commands indicative thereof. The vehicle operations programming applications may include adaptive cruise control, automated mayday, and obstacle and collision warning systems, among others. Also disclosed is a new computing architecture that organizes the applications and systems in the vehicle into two groups: driver assistance systems and mobile services and information systems. Also disclosed is a drive recorder that maintains records of the statuses of all vehicle systems and of the driver. <IMAGE>
