Abstract: The invention provides improvements to a composite member that has a plurality of plies. The improved composite member (10) has (1) an interior ply (12) which functions to dampen or resist sudden forces exerted on the composite member, (2) an intermediate load-carrying ply (14), and (3) an exterior abrasion-resistant ply (16). These plies have multiple, often intertwined fiber components disposed or imbedded with a matrix material, preferably Nylon-6 thermoplastic, to inhibit sharp edges during breakage. One or more of the plies typically has "bi-axial" or "tri-axially" braided fiber geometries wherein one or more fibers are helically wound about the circumference of the member. The helically oriented fibers are oriented at a selectively variable angle which influences the overall bending strength of the composite material. In one aspect, the angles of the fiber components and other factors are used to maintain substantially uniform cross-sectional area over the length of the tubular member while simultaneously varying the bending stiffness. In another aspect, the intermediate ply is constructed with two or more sub-plies. Such sub-plies can include tri-axially extending plies, and circumferentially-wound plies. The circumferentially-wound plies are often wound more tightly at the ends of the composite member to increase resistance to stresses caused by objects within the tubular shaft. A composite member constructed according to the invention resists sudden or impact forces and has high, selectively variable bending strength, high impact resistance, and safe failure modes.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting an incipient tumor in living tissue such as that of a human breast in accordance with differences in relative dielectric characteristics. A generator produces a non-ionizing electromagnetic input wave of preselected frequency, usually exceeding three gigahertz, and that input wave is used to illuminate the living tissue, being focused into a small, discrete volume within the tissue to develop a non-ionizing electromagnetic wave at that position. The illumination location is moved over a portion of the living tissue in a predetermined scanning pattern. Scattered signal returns collected from the living tissue are collected to develop a scattered return signal. The scattered return signal is employed to detect any anomaly, caused by differences in relative dielectric characteristics, that is indicative of the presence of a tumor in the scanned living tissue.

Abstract: A stencil-making-type printing machine in which, even if rotary cylindrical drums having printing regions of different sizes are frequently used while being replaced with one another, the machine accurately detects when a used-stencil accommodating box is filled with used stencil, and notifies the operator. In the stencil-making-type printing machine, a CPU 200 determines the type of a rotary cylindrical drum loaded therein from output signals of dip switches 133 and 135 which are applied to it through electrical connectors 137 and 139. When a stencil discharging operation is carried out according to the type of the rotary cylindrical drum thus determined, the CPU 200 operates to add a numerical value corresponding to the length of a used stencil removed from the drum to the result of the previous addition stored in a RAM 202 to obtain the latest result of addition, and to compare the latest result of addition thus obtained with a fill-up reference data indicating that a used-stencil accommodating box is filled up with used stencil. When the latest result of addition reaches the fill-up reference data, the CPU 200 applies an instruction signal to a display drive circuit 170 to cause a display section 16 to display the fact that the used-stencil accommodating box is filled with used stencils.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process and equipment for efficiently and economically recovering organic sulfur compounds in a fuel oil while maintaining the original chemical structures thereof. The fuel oil is admixed with a solvent low in solubility therein of hydrocarbons and high in solubility therein of organic sulfur compounds to effect migration of the organic sulfur compounds in the fuel oil into the solvent by making much of the nucleophilic properties of a lone pair of electrons on a bivalent sulfur atom of a sulfur-containing functional group, followed by fuel oil-solvent separation by settling out or with a centrifugal force. Alternatively, a solvent having a boiling point not exceeding the boiling point of the fuel oil is added to the fuel oil, and the solvent and the fuel oil are then agitated and mixed together at a temperature of at most the boiling point of the solvent to effect migration of the organic sulfur compounds in the fuel oil into the solvent while lowering the viscosity of the fuel oil, followed by cooling of the fuel oil and the solvent to a temperature not exceeding room temperature and subsequent fuel oil-solvent separation by settling out or with a centrifugal force. Subsequently, the separated solvent is distilled to recover the organic sulfur compounds.
