摘要:
The invention relates to a Jacquard machine, comprising 2 sets of knifes moving up and down in opposition, which each, at each of their extremities, are taken up in separate knife grids (4a, 4b) being driven by a cinematic drive chain (30), and each, at one of their extremities (20a, 20b), being guided into a straight motion by means of a “Watt's linkage” rod system, the height of lift of each of these extremities (20a, 20b) of the knife grids (4a, 4b) being adjustable, and the knife grids (4a, 4b) each at their first extremities (20a, 20b) being linked with at least one first driving lever (2, 2a, 2b, 10) by means of a first linking rod (3a, 3b), and at their second extremities (21a, 21b) being linked with at least a second driving lever (2, 10) by means of a second linking rod (14a, 14b), wherein per knife grid (4a, 4b) one or several elements (1, 101, 1a, 1b, 3a, 3b) of the Watt's linkage rod system are part of the cinematic drive chain (30), and the amplitude of the motion of the said extremity (20a, 20b) of the knife grid (4a, 4b) is adjustable in the cinematic drive chain (30) before the linking point (9a, 9b) between the first rod (1, 101, 1a, 1b) and the third rod (3a, 3b) of the Watt's linkage rod system with respect to the drive motor.

One embodiment of the invention provide for access and use of information from fonts in multiple formats (including font format specific information) in an object oriented system. A generic private Font Handler abstract class is defined with multiple methods and references to objects and variables to provide for the storage and retrieval of information. Subclasses of the Font Handler class implement the abstract methods and provide for retrieval of this information. Further, each Font Handler subclass and instances thereof implement a specific interface that provides format specific capabilities. Font information is stored in instances of the Font Handler. A Font class is defined that provides application developers the ability to access the information from the Font Handler. When an application developer desires to use a particular font, the developer creates an instance of the Font class and establishes an association with a corresponding Font Handler instance. Frequently used information may be cached into variables or objects of the Font class. Information that is not cached is retrieved by calling the appropriate Font Handler method through its association. In this manner, one object may be used to access and use fonts of varying formats. An application developer may retrieve general information and format specific information from one object, a Font class object, without any knowledge of the underlying Font Handler. In another embodiment, the Font Handler class is not utilized and the Font class incorporates the methods and references of the Font Handler class thus providing direct access to font information.
摘要:
Novel TNF receptor death domain (“TNF-R1-DD”) ligand proteins are disclosed. Polynucleotides encoding the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein are also disclosed, along with vectors, host cells, and methods of making the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the TNF-R1-DD ligand protein, methods of treating inflammatory conditions, and methods of inhibiting TNF-R death domain binding are also disclosed. Methods of identifying inhibitors of TNF-R death domain binding and inhibitors identified by such methods are also disclosed.

摘要:
A box fan comprising a box-like structure containing an electric motor and a fan blade assembly operable by the motor, which structure consists of a front section and a rear section forming a box having front and rear openings which are interconnected to form a duct through said box, the fan blade assembly being positioned for causing air flow through the duct when the motor is operating, wherein the two sections are held securely together by a locking means including external resiliently operable disguised clamps which are disposed transversely of the interface between said sections.
摘要:
A portable exercise apparatus retention mechanism with a base platform, an exercise apparatus retainer, and at least one extendible and retractable retaining structure fixed to the base platform with first and second end portions for engaging first and second opposed surfaces when at least one of the end portions is extended. A sub-panel can be secured to the base structure with a central portion of the retaining structure disposed therebetween. The retention mechanism can retain an exercise apparatus, such as a speed bag. The end portions can have contoured flanges. A supplementary engaging mechanism with extended and retracted positions can project laterally from the base platform. The supplementary engaging mechanism could comprise first and second members pivotally coupled to the base platform.
摘要:
A method for detecting indications of dental caries in an image of a tooth. The method comprises fitting a model to the image to identify a part of the image representing an outside edge of the tooth. Image variations are analyzed in an area of the image to detect said indications of dental caries, the area of the image representing a part of the tooth and being defined with reference to the fitted model. Data is then generated indicating the presence of dental caries based upon the analyzed image variations.

There is disclosed a method and a basket for use with a golf ball range picker having a support frame. The basket may include a pair of inwardly offset handles in the basket side walls for ease of lifting when a series of two or more like baskets are arranged in a closely spaced side by side configuration. A pair of front edges of front side wall sections are each tapered outwardly toward the front to minimize or at least greatly reduce the surface area formed by abutting vertical edges with a like basket, to help guide the golf balls being thrown by the range picker into the baskets, and not deflect them inadvertently away from entering the baskets by otherwise providing thick abutting vertical edges which could block the path of travel of the golf balls. A front flange is disposed substantially along the entire length of the front of the basket for resting securely on a front portion of the support frame, and a rear flange is adapted for resting securely on a back portion of the support frame.

摘要:
An electronic messaging system for both participating institutions and nonparticpating institutions and their populations. When an institution is participating in the system of the present invention, both message senders and recipients are authenticated and known and verified before any communication can take place. Messages for institutions not currently participating in the system are converted to printed mail for delivery to the non-participating institution using traditional postal systems. The present invention also teaches novel message processing techniques that take advantage of the electronic format of the messages to provide automated security and translation and/or transliteration services and further teaches the novel feature of marking incoming messages with a code to assist in accurately and secure delivery of reply messages to the appropriate party.
