Abstract: Systèmes interactifs de guide de programmes et procédés connexes permettant de mettre automatiquement sur la fréquence voulue un téléviseur ou de programmer automatiquement un enregistreur de cassettes vidéo sur la base des choix de programmes établis à partir des informations provenant de la grille de programmes affichée sur un téléviseur ou tout autre support approprié de visualisation vidéo. Le guide de programmes interactif fonctionne de préférence avec un boîtier de raccordement commandé par microprocesseur couplé au poste de télévision du spectateur. Le boîtier de raccordement reçoit les informations et le logiciel relatif à la grille de programme d'un centre de télédiffusion en tête de réseau. De préférence, les informations relatives à la grille de programme pour le jour même et pour les six prochains jours sont enregistrées dans une mémoire située dans le boîtier de raccordement. Ce guide de programmes interactif prévoit un mode de visualisation qui permet au télespectateur d'appliquer un critère de sélection avec recherche restrictive ainsi qu'un attribut de tri non restrictif aux informations relatives à la grille de programmes.

Abstract: A protein called transforming growth factor-beta (TGF- beta ) is important in causing the inflammation and progressive scar tissue in pulmonary fibrosis. The TGF- beta 1 isoform is important in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. It is usually secreted non-covalently bound to a latency associated peptide (LAP) which renders it biologically inactive. The inactive form is called latent TGF- beta 1 (L-TGF- beta 1). Activation of L-TGF- beta 1 involves L-TGF- beta 1/TSP-1 complex which interacts with the TSP-1 receptor, CD36, to process L-TGF- beta 1 to the mature form in the presence of plasmin. Synthetic or natural CD36 peptides or fragments thereof can be used to prevent activation of TGF- beta 1, in mammalian alveolar macrophages, thereby controlling the inflammation process.

Abstract: Improved processes are provided for treating a porous substrate (especially a fabric) to produce novel internally coated porous materials. During treatment, a curable thixotropic material and one or modifying materials are applied to the porous substrate as an impregnant. The treatment imparts specific properties to the end product material. Selection of the modifier material is based on the particular end use application. Sufficient energy is directed to the impregnant and porous substrate to cause the impregnant to flow into the porous substrate and force the modifier to specific positions within the substrate.

Abstract: On a amélioré l'efficacité de stockage et de montage d'un dispositif air bag en maintenant celui-ci (2) sous sa forme pliée au moyen d'une bande (7), la rupture de la bande (7) s'effectuant en douceur. Le dispositif est ainsi plus efficace et son déploiement meilleur. Une partie (8) de rupture de la bande textile (7) est formée de trous alignés facilitant la rupture, les fils tissés (9) de la bande textile étant inclinés par rapport au sens de rupture de la partie (8) de rupture. Ceci permet à la bande (7) de se rompre en douceur. La rupture de la bande (7) s'effectuant après l'arrachement du couvercle (5) de l'air bag (2), on obtient alors un excellent déploiement de celui-ci à une vitesse d'éjection réduite au minimum de la partie centrale de l'air bag au début de son déploiement.

Abstract: The invention relates to photosensitive compositions capable of being developed as positives. Conventional compositions are either insufficiently photosensitive or unsuitable for use on copper surfaces such as those in printed circuit boards, since the exposed regions of the composition layer cannot be completely removed during development and create problems in the subsequent metal-coating or etching operations. These drawbacks are not found with the claimed photosensitive compositions. Various compositions are described containing photo-acid generators and a polymer resin containing acid-cleavable side groups and formed by polymerisation of at least three different acrylate or methacrylate monomers.

Abstract: Apparatus for suturing a wound in a body cannula having an axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end. A handle is disposed at the proximal end and a pair of needles disposed at the distal end, the needles being movable between a proximal position and a distal position. A suture manipulator carried by the cannula is insertable through the wound and operable to manipulate the suture into an engaging relationship with the needles on the far side of the body wall. In one embodiment of the invention, a finger ring is movable on the handle in a single distal direction through multiple stages. In a first stage the needles are deployed; in a second stage, the suture manipulator is activated to thread the needles; and in a third stage the suture is released from a tensioning mechanism. In another embodiment, the finger ring is movable in a distal direction to deploy and thread the needles, and movable in a proximal direction to tension the suture and withdraw the needles. In an associated method the needles are threaded on the far side of the body wall and withdrawn from the wound providing access to the suture ends on the near side of the body wall. Tying the suture ends closes the wound. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a floorball stick blade arrangement which improves the playing properties of the stick with regard to receiving a pass and passing and shooting a ball. The blade (2) includes a damping device in the form of a damping element (1, 3) on at least one side thereof, wherein the damping element is located within a blade region that is located at a height level from the bottom edge of the blade which exceeds one ball radius (R). The blade (2) also includes a non-dampened shot zone located at a lower height level than the damping device (1, 3). The damping element (1, 3) is located on the forehand and/or the backhand side of the blade. If desired, the damping element (1, 3) may be exchangeable and made of a material that is different to the material from which the remainder of the blade (2) is made. The ball impacts the damping element (damping zone) when the blade (2) is angled slightly in a forward direction ( alpha  smaller than 90 degrees), such as to provide a damping effect when receiving a ball and when passing a ball (fig. 4). When the blade is angled slightly rearwards ( alpha  greater than 90 degrees), the ball impacts the blade (2) beneath the damping element (1) so as to enable a hard non-dampened shot to be fired.

Abstract: A reversible belt steering assembly for centering of conveyor belts which during operation is subjected to a lateral displacement away from a neutral position. A rotating mechanism (3, 19) supports at least one steering roller for the conveyor belt, and is rotatably attached to a first fixed beam (2) for rotation about an axis (a) perpendicular to the conveyor belt. A first set of guide rollers (9) abuts the sides of the conveyor belt, and is thus displaced laterally depending on the lateral displacement of the conveyor belt, and a first transfer mechanism supports the first set of guide rollers (9) for transferring the lateral displacement of the first set of guide rollers (9) to the rotating mechanism (3, 19), to rotate the steering roller to a position where it guides the conveyor belt back to the neutral position. There is a second set of guide rollers (9') corresponding to the first set of guide rollers, and a second transfer mechanism corresponding to the first transfer mechanism. The two sets of guide rollers (9, 9') and the two transfer mechanisms are arranged mutually opposite and inverted with respect to an intermediate axis of symmetry which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the belt and extends through the axis (a) of the rotating mechanism. The reversible belt steering unit (1) also comprises a switch mechanism for disconnecting and connecting the first and second transfer mechanisms in relation to the rotating mechanism (3, 19).

Abstract: A composition suitable for safely removing hydrogen from gaseous mixtures containing hydrogen and oxygen, particularly those mixtures wherein the hydrogen concentration is within the explosive range. The composition comprises a hydrogenation catalyst, preferably Pd dispersed on carbon, wherein the concentration of Pd is from about 1-10 wt.%, dispersed in a polymeric material matrix. As well as serving as a matrix to contain the hydrogenation catalyst, the polymeric material, which is substantially unreactive to hydrogen, provides both a diffusion restriction to hydrogen and oxygen, thereby limiting the rate at which the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) can diffuse to the catalyst surface and thus, the production of heat from the recombination reaction and as a heat sink.
