摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling writing and reading of data in an array of A storage fields of a probe-based data storage device in which data is written to and read from the array of storage fields by a corresponding array of probes. One method uses the concept of sub-arrays to provide variable-rate read/write operation. Input data blocks are received for writing to the A-field array, each input data block being writable in A/k0 storage fields where k0 is an integer ≧2. For successive groups of k0 blocks, the k0 blocks are written to respective sub-arrays, each of A/k0 storage fields, of the storage field array by selectively writing at one of a series of rates, ranging from 1 block at a time to k0 blocks at a time, in dependence on a desired data write-rate. The blocks can also be read from the sub-arrays by selectively reading at one of a series of rates, ranging from 1 sub-array at a time to k0 sub-arrays at a time, in dependence on a desired data read-rate.

摘要:
A trocar assembly includes a trocar sleeve having a trocar housing and a trocar cannula. The trocar sleeve includes a stop-cock valve positioned for selectively controlling the passage of an insufflation fluid into the trocar cannula and the stop-cock valve includes a valve lever. The trocar housing includes a recess shaped and dimensioned for receiving and covering at least a portion of the valve lever therein.

A magnetic tape cartridge includes a cartridge casing and a single reel which is contained in the cartridge casing for rotation. The reel has a reel hub in the form of a cylindrical member which has a bottom wall and is provided with an opening and a stopper gear formed on the bottom wall. A brake member is provided with a brake gear and is movable up and down between an operative position where the brake gear is brought into engagement with the stopper gear to prevent rotation of the reel and a retracted position where the brake gear is disengaged from the stopper gear to permit rotation of the reel. The brake member is normally urged toward the operative position and moved to the retracted position by a pusher member of a tape drive system which acts on the brake member through the opening in the reel hub when the magnetic tape cartridge is loaded in the tape drive system. A continuous wall portion is erected around the opening in the reel hub, and the brake member includes a horizontal portion and a continuous skirt portion which extends downward from the horizontal portion and is in contact with the continuous wall portion of the reel hub to close the opening together with the horizontal portion. The brake member is moved between the operative position and the retracted position with the skirt portion kept in cotact with the continuous wall portion of the reel hub.

The disclosure demonstrates the inhibition of replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in cultured human embryo skin muscle cells by two separate subclasses of direct-acting smooth muscle relaxing agents alone or in combination with each other. These two subclasses are characterized mechanistically as calcium influx blockers (or calcium channel blockers) and cyclic nucleotide modulators. More specifically, the class of calcium influx blockers is exemplified by the drugs verapamil (and methoxyverapamil), nifedipine (the prototype drug of 1,4 dihydropyridines), and diltiazem. The class of cyclic nucleotide modulators is exemplified by the drugs isobutylmethylxanthine, papaverine (and its synthetic analog dioxyline), forskolin, and sodium nitroprusside. In addition, the present disclosure demonstrates that agents from one class, e.g., a calcium influx blocker, act synergistically when used in combination with agents from the other class, e.g., cyclic nucleotide modulators. The calcium influx blockers are shown to act synergistically when used in combination with alpha inThe government may own rights in the present invention pursuant to NIH contract NO1-AI42557.

In addition, the present disclosure demonstrates that agents from one class, e.g., a calcium influx blocker, act synergistically when used in combination with agents from the other class, e.g., cyclic nucleotide modulators. Moreover, the calcium influx blockers are shown to act synergistically when used in combination with alpha interferon.

An apparatus for molding plastic preforms into plastic containers having at least one blow mold, within which the plastic preforms may be expanded into plastic containers is described. The blow mold has at least two blow mold parts which are movable relative to each other, including an application device which is movable relative to the blow mold, in order to apply pressure onto the plastic preform for the expansion thereof; wherein at least one area of the blow mold may be tempered. The apparatus has a tempering body which may be separated from the blow mold in its entirety for tempering the area of the blow mold.

A lock device for adding and removing containers to and from a vacuum treatment chamber, wherein the device comprises carrier plates for the containers, the plates being fastened to a revolving transport means and being transported through lock channels provided in straight sections of the transport means, achieving a sealing effect with said channels. The plates are moved past suction or ventilation openings in the lock channel. In this way, a differential pressure stage can be formed. The device can be flexibly dimensioned and cost-effectively produced.
