Abstract:
One aspect of the invention is a method for locating an unexposed region of film. The method includes the step of illuminating film with a light source while the film has developing chemical applied thereto, the film comprising at least two edges along an x direction perpendicular to a y direction parallel to a surface of the film. The method also includes the step of identifying an unexposed region of the film as a region containing ones of a first plurality of columns of the film, the columns disposed generally in the y direction and captured using at least one sensor operable to capture light reflected from the film, and wherein a representative value for each of the ones of first plurality of columns exceeds a threshold.
Abstract:
A suppression of the human immune system is accomplished by administering to the person an effective amount of a non-toxic thioheterocycle compound having the formula ##STR1## wherein R1 is a heterocycle ring system, R2 is a hydrogen, alkyl or aryl group, and R3 is a hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or nitroaryl group.
Abstract:
A compound with immunosuppressive properties having formula (I), in which R.sup.1 represents a heterocyclic ring system, a combined heterocyclic ring system and homocyclic ring system, or an ethoxycarbonylmethyl group. R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent hydrogen or lower alkyl groups.

Abstract:
A process is disclosed for forming blown film of a low strain hardening polymer, such as a low pressure polymerized-low density ethylene copolymer, including an improved film bubble expanding technique which permits high production rates to be achieved with good film bubble stability. Advantageously, most of the films produced by the process have a relatively high degree of film clarity.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for the low energy melting, extrusion and pumping of material comprising feeding, metering, melting and mixing of such materials in an extruder having a melter screw and subsequently passing the resultant extrudate, through breaker plate and adapter means, to and through a rotary gear pump and, in turn, to a die member.
Abstract:
A process and apparatus are disclosed for forming blown film of a low strain hardening polymer, such as a low pressure polymerized-low density ethylene copolymer, including an improved film bubble cooling technique which permits high production rates to be achieved with good film bubble stability. The disclosed process comprises cooling a molten film bubble by contacting the outside of the film bubble with separate annular streams of cooling fluid fed through at least two stacked annular cooling rings disposed around the film bubble, wherein all or substantially all of the cooling fluid exits the system through a common plane formed by the last cooling ring.The disclosed apparatus comprises means for forming a molten film bubble and means for cooling same including at least two separate annular cooling rings disposed around the bubble, each provided with means for feeding an annular cooling fluid stream against the bubble and further including means whereby all or substantially all of said cooling fluid exits the system through a common plane formed by the last cooling ring.
Abstract:
Foreclosure auction information received from each of a plurality of sources of such information via respective Internet bots, manual updates, or other sources, is used to populate a database according to a predefined schema and ruleset. The database is updated in near real time (from any or all of the datasources), and actionable auction information that meets user-determined criteria for accuracy, timeliness and/or relevancy is extracted from the database and presented for use by a user.
Abstract:
A user's recorded voice and/or image is played back in the context of a scene from a pre-recorded movie such that it replaces an actor's recorded voice and/or image of the pre-recorded movie, thus giving the illusion that the user is participating in the scene. The replacement may occur in real time (without storing the user-generated audio/video information), for example as the movie is playing to an audience or to the user, or using a stored version of the user-generated content. Script notes and/or subtitles may be provided to the user so that he can better understand the scene and thereby more accurately emulate the movie character which he will personify.
Abstract:
A method and process for computer-controlled manufacture of three-dimensional objects involves dispensing a layer of a first material, such as a liquid, insoluble material onto a platform at predetermined locations corresponding to a cross-section of the object, which then hardens. A second medium, preferably water soluble, is then sprayed onto this layer to thereby encapsulate the hardened insoluble media. The uppermost surface of this encapsulant is planarized, if necessary, for example by way of a mill cutter, knife, roller or thermal bar, thus removing a portion of the encapsulant to expose the underlying insoluble material for new pattern deposition. The dispensing of the first and second materials, and the planarization, may be performed in a single pass by an integrated printhead. After the resulting planing residue is removed, another layer of liquid, insoluble medium is dispensed onto the planed surface. These steps are repeated, until the desired three-dimensional object, surrounded by a mold, is completed. At this point, the object is either heated or immersed in a solvent, thereby dissolving the mold and leaving the three-dimensional object intact; alternatively, the second material may remain in place to form a composite structure such as a printed circuit board. A method is also disclosed which converts a CAD data base representing a solid object into one representing a filled shell, reducing the amount of object material required.
