Abstract: This invention relates to human growth hormone (hGH) mutants in which the amino acid residue arginine (Arg) in position 134 of the natural hGH amino acid sequence is substituted with an amino acid residue chosen from the group consisting of L-alanine (Ala), L-leucine (Leu). L-threonine (Thr), L-phenylalanine (Phe), L-proline (Pro) and L-histidine (His), and means and methods for their preparation. 
     These mutants demonstrate a better stability towards enzymatic degradation than natural hGH and unaltered biological activity. The mutants can be used in the therapeutic field for treating dysfunctions of the hypophysis, and in the cure of pathological states such as burns, dystrophy, pseudoartrosis and bone fractures.

Abstract: A protective bellows (10) protects a universal joint driven by a shaft (5), such as forming part of the front wheel drive mechanism of a motor vehicle. The bellows (10) has a collar (14) with an interior annular rib (20) which, on completion of the fitting process, locates in an annular groove (22) in the shaft (5). During the fitting process, a tube (18) is forced between the interior peripheral surface of the collar (14) and the outer surface of the shaft (5), via a channel in the rib (20) and a channel (28) in the material of the inner end (31) of the collar (14) which grips the surface of the shaft. Grease is pumped into the interior of the bellows through this tube (18). Further channels (26,30, Fig. 6) extend through the rib (20) and the adjacent material (31) of the collar, and allow excess air pressure to be vented to atmosphere during and after the grease-filling operation.

Abstract: Plural signal delays in a progressive scan system are provided by a field memory (205) having double multiplexing within a video line to provide compacted data samples including interleaved pixels in a first time interval representing field and frame delayed pixel samples and compressed motion data in a second time interval representing frame motion delayed by a field interval. Advantageously, the double multiplexing avoids the need for multiple field delays which otherwise would be required for providing field delayed video, frame delayed video, and field delayed motion signals in motion adaptive systems designed for accurate reproduction of small fast moving objects in a displayed image.

Abstract: State machines having a hierarchical arrangement of machines as between a parent state machine 10 and sibling state machines 11, 12, and 14. The parent state machine 10 generates a plurality of outputs constituting its output state as based upon its input state defined by inputs N and its internal state. Part of the input state is defined by a set of inputs 15 which include asynchronous signals such as reset and interrupts. The parent state machine 10 defines or partially defines input states as applied to the respective sibling state machines 11, 12, and 14 by producing a series of output states in response to input states as applied thereto and independent upon an existing internal state. This system enables machine design time to be reliably shortened by virtue of easier validation of tasks assigned to the sibling machines.

Abstract: A method and resultant product are disclosed wherein a metal film is deposited by sputtering a metal cathode target in an essentially nonreactive atmosphere comprising inert gas and a reactive gas, wherein the concentration of reactive gas is sufficiently low that the sputtering is accomplished in the metallic mode, i.e. the film is deposited as metal. The metal film of the present invention is harder than a metal film sputtered in an atmosphere consisting of only inert gas. The method and resultant product may further comprise thermal oxidation of the metal film, which proceeds more efficiently than oxidation of a metal film sputtered in an atmosphere consisting of only inert gas.

Abstract: In a speaker verification system, a method of compensating for differences in speech samples obtained during registration and those obtained during verification due to the use of different types of microphones is provided by filtering at least one of the samples such that the similarities of the two samples are increased. The filtered sample is used within the speaker verification matching process. A two-way comparison is disclosed in which both a verification speech sample and a reference sample are filtered with nonlinear microphone characteristics such as carbon microphone characteristics. A four-way comparison is also disclosed in which patterns produced from unfiltered verification and reference samples and patterns produced from the filtered verification and reference samples are compared to identify a match. A score is determined for each comparison. The comparison having the best score is used to determine if a match has occurred.

Abstract: A magnetic confining method and apparatus in accordance with the present invention generates, adjacent the open side of the roller gap, a primary vertical magnetic field (a) resulting from direct current (D.C.) or alternating current (A.C.) flowing through a coil surrounding a core of a primary electromagnet or (b) resulting from an induced horizontal current flowing through roller shafts, roller sleeves and the edge of the molten metal. There are one or more additional vertical magnetic fields, that serve to concentrate and/or shape the primary magnetic field, and the vertical fields combine to provide electromagnetic forces sufficient for containment of the molten metal in the vertical gap between the rollers. Both the primary vertical field and one or more additional or secondary vertical magnetic fields extend through the open side of the gap to the molten metal in the gap. The combination of magnetic fields cooperate to provide sufficient electromagnetic force over the depth of the molten metal, at the molten metal sidewall to electromagnetically confine the molten metal within the gap between the rollers and stabilize the molten metal at the sidewall.

Abstract: Water-proofed natural pulp or organic synthetic fibers are with polyester-type fibers having a low melting point, and subjected to a paper fabrication process. The fabricated product is dried with hot air at a temperature higher than the melting point of the polyester-type fibers, thereby melt-bonding only intersections of the fibers without completely fusing the polyester-type fibers. The pressure of the hot air contributes to the formation of a predetermined shape. Thus, a water-proof diaphragm for a loudspeaker, having a large thickness, a low density, a high internal loss and a high stiffness, is obtained. By incorporating the thus formed diaphragm, a high-performance loudspeaker having a low distortion and a broad reproducing range is obtained.

A flange held at the end of a robot hand is clearance-fitted in an inner-diameter processed hole in the end portion of the sleeve while the central axis of the flange is aligned with that of the sleeve. The flange is then pushed to make the outer periphery of the flange abut against the end face of the sleeve.
