摘要:
Methods for reducing gastric motility and delaying gastric emptying for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes are disclosed which comprise administration of an effective amount of an exendin or an exendin agonist. Methods for treating conditions associated with elevated, inapropriate, or undesired post-prandial blood glucose levels are disclosed which comprise administration of an effective amount of an exendin or an exendin agonist alone or in conjunction with other anti-gastric emptying agents.
摘要:
An interferometer measuring system comprising two moveable members and a reference member that may have significantly less movement, the group having a number of attached measurement mirrors, interferometers for measuring position and two optical support blocks for the interferometers. The interferometers are used to determine the measured optical path lengths to each of the moveable members and reference member and these positions are used to calculate the misalignment, or error in the relative positions of the moveable members with respect to the reference member. This calculated error is then used to correct the misalignment by moving the appropriate members in the manner directed by the calculation.

A method of controlling exposure prepares basic data and original data, prepares data for correction for determining a correction amount of the original data, obtains first dot image, obtains dot percentage differences 6 H and δ S between dot percentages of a highlight region and a shadow region of the first dot image, respectively, and a desired highlight dot percentage and a shadow dot percentage, obtains a correction amount of the original data based on δ H and δ S and the data for correction to update the basic data based on the correction amount of the original data, and acquires an exposure amount for obtaining second dot image based on the updated basic data and the original data. An apparatus for implementing this method is also disclosed.
摘要:
A measuring strip which contains on a transparent base a test field divided into at least two sub-fields, wherein (1) a first sub-field (F₁) contains a plurality of individual areas each containing a group of opaque dots, wherein each individual area has dots of substantially equal size uniformly distributed in a transparent background area, and wherein (2) a second sub-field (F₂) contains a plurality of individual areas each containing a group of transparent dots (holes), wherein each individual area has transparent dots of substantially equal size uniformly distributed in an opaque background area, and wherein in each individual area containing (opaque or transparent) dots having substantially the same dot size the dots are at substantially equal distance from each other, so that an area containing dots of smaller size compared with another area containing dots with larger size contains more dots than said area containing dots of larger size, and wherein the transmission of said first and second sub-field being expressed in percentage is different by at least 10 %.
摘要:
A method and associated apparatus for converting halftone and screened films (12A and 12B) for use with electromechanical gravure engravers (22), comprising the steps of positioning an array (26) of photosensitive elements adjacent at least one film (12A) having an image thereon in the form of transparent and opaque picture elements (pixels) (30 and 32) having predetermined dimensions, affecting relative movement between the array (26) and the film (12A) for sampling a plurality of pixels of the film by the array (26), assigning a predetermined number of photosensitive elements to a predetermined width of pixels, effectively creating a first sample area (34) bounded by the predetermined width of pixels and a pre-established number of samples, effectively creating a second sample area (36) smaller than the first sample area (34) and bounded by a plurality of pixels, the center of the second sample area (36) being coincident with that of the first sample area (34), counting the photosensitive elements which provide signals indicating transparent pixel areas within the first sample area (34), counting the photosensitive elements which provide signals indicating transparent pixel areas within the second sample area (36), adding the count of the photosensitive elements of the second sample area (36) to the count of the photosensitive elements of the second sample area (36) minus the count of the first sample area (34) to provide a signal representing the percentage dot area (PDA) for use with an electromechanical gravure engraver (22).

摘要:
The present invention relates to wet offset printing plates of which the weight has been reduced in a novel manner; the preparation of said plates; and the use thereof in the field of wet offset printing. Said plates are characterised in that they comprise two groups of small ink-repellent weight-reducing surfaces in at least part of the lightweight inked surfaces thereof.
摘要:
There is provided a method for making a lithographic printing plate from an original containing continuous tones comprising the steps of:
frequency modulation screening said original to obtain screened data image-wise exposing according to said screened data a negative working photosensitive lithographic printing plate precursor containing a photosensitive layer comprising a direct positive silver halide emulsion and an image receiving layer comprising physical development nuclei in water permeable contact with each other, said lithographic printing plate precursor having a surface capable of being differentiated in ink accepting and ink repellant areas upon said image-wise exposure and an development step and developing a thus obtained image-wise exposed lithographic printing plate precursor using an alkaline processing liquid in the presence of developing agent(s) and silver halide solvent(s), characterized in that said photosensitive layer comprises a spectrally sensitized prefogged direct positive silver halide emulsion with exterior electron-traps whereof the amount of silver bromide lies in the range between 0.5 mole/mole AgX and 5 mole/mole AgX.
摘要:
Pour l'impression de matières à imprimer dures formées d'un matériau non absorbant, en particulier pour l'impression de feuilles de verre (18), on propose le recours au procédé flexographique. A cet effet, on utilise une forme d'impression (3) faite d'une plaque de photopolymère qui présente une image imprimante tramée comportant une fine trame superposée à la trame de fond ou de motif. La forme d'impression (3) est constituée d'une feuille de stabilisation (30) et de la couche de photopolymère (31) munie de la trame. Une plaque (33), en matière expansée, est intercalée entre la forme d'impression (3) et le corps du cylindre porte-cliché (4). L'invention permet, lors de l'impression de surfaces dures non absorbantes, un transfert uniforme et plus régulier de l'encre à l'intérieur de chaque point d'impression particulier.
