Abstract: The present invention teaches a computerized automatic morphing photography booth for generating a synthesized composite or altered image from two or more initial images and a method therefor. The initial images to be converted may be real-time images taken on sight and/or stored images previously programmed into the memory of the computer. The computer maps out the essential characteristics of each image and converts the two images into the composite image by blending, merging and/or superimposing some or all of the characteristics mapped out for each initial image. The invention further teaches stationary or moving cameras which are capable of centering the composite in a picture frame.

Abstract: A process for producing an article having a three-dimensional optical effect comprising a transparent substrate provided with a translucent simulated ice crystal formation having a controlled amount of fern-like patterns along with articles produced by this process.

Abstract: Device for measuring tension force in web and wire without giving any permanent affect on the measured object. In goods transportation it is common to use webs to tie down the load to the load carrier, and it is important that the right pretension force is applied to achieve a safe transport. The device enables this force to be checked before and even during the transport. The device is a hand carried device that can be moved across the measured object from the side, perform the measurement after an activation arm has been pulled, and be removed after deactivation without having any remaining affect on the lashing. Technically, this is done when the activation forces the object to bend over a number of rolls. This bending calls for a force perpendicularly to the measured object that is registered, recalculated and displayed as the searched force in the object.

Abstract: A cat litter composition is provided which contains on the litter particles an antimicrobial composition, which is the admixture of a diquat, a polycarboxylic acid, at least one phenol compound and a carrier, which is water or alcohol-water.

Abstract: The invention provides a system of electromagnetic parts which form an electromagnetically shielded channel system for electric cables. Tubular parts are provided of a single piece structure, which are extruded from plastic materials and have several layers, including an inner layer of electrically insulating plastic material. There is at least one outer layer of electrically conductive material.

Abstract: There is provided an efficient and effective method and apparatus for purifying methyl-tert butyl ether contaminated water by bubbling into the water an oxidizing gas and then stripping the oxidizing gas and MTBE from the water. A pressurized container is used to create microbubbles and to promote oxidation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment device for motor vehicle seats which contains a gearing part which meshes with a gearing member to limit backlash, the gearing part is formed by a main part consisting of a main gearing and a compensation part with an elastic member arrange between the parts. A swiveling axis connects the parts. The degree of backlash of the two parts is restricted to a circular movement based on the connection through the swiveling axis.

Abstract: Angle gauge for grinding the lip of sharp-edged tools whereby an adjustable first device is arranged on the frame at one end of the frame that during measurement is intended to be supported against the periphery of the grinding wheel and that through adjustment varies the distance between the said one end and the periphery of the grinding wheel, and an adjustable and rotatable second device is arranged at the other end of the frame and provided with a flat edge that extends towards the periphery of the grinding wheel and that during measurement abuts with periphery of the grinding wheel with the corner edge that faces the first device in such a manner that the flat edge forms an angle with the periphery of the grinding wheel where this angle defines the cutting angle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and composition for treating eye and ear infections from parasites and eye and ear infections, characterized by the presence of pseudomonas and increased kallikrein and kinin activity. The compositions contain a protease inhibitor selected from the group consisting of alpha 1-antitrypsin, secretory leucocyte protease inhibitor and antiplasmin inhibitor, a steroidal antiphlogistic compound, and a non-steroidal antiphlogistic compound and optionally hyaluronic acid.

Abstract: An isolated and purified nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence which consists of GAT CCA CTG TGC GAC AGC TCG GRG ATC (Seq. Id. No. 1) included in the proto-oncogene RET, which sequence in normal cells has the following sequence in the region defined by position 1810 and adjacent nucleotides including position 1845 and adjacent nucleotides: GAT CCA CTG TGC GAC GAG CTG TGC CGC ACG GTG ATC. Information derived from the altered nucleotide sequence found in a tissue or fluid sample, taken from a patient, can be used for determining the type and character of the rumor. The nucleotide sequence or information derived therefrom is used for the manufacture of reagents for the diagnosing of cancer and for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for prevention and/or treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The device relates to a motor vehicle seat with an underframe, which can be adjusted in height, onto which a seat support is arranged and which comprises a back swiveling support, which is linked to the seat support at the swiveling joint and with a belt lock of a safety belt, which is allocated to the seat support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shirt with a collar attached thereto and a left-hand and a right-hand chest blank which close in the chest area with an underlap having buttons and overlap having button-holes. A reinforcement area is provided which is bounded in a substantially triangular manner by three edges; a first edge which is connected to the underlap or the overlap, a second edge connected to the collar and a third edge connected to the chest blank. There is a button or a button hole below the collar and the level with the first edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a golf cup insert for reducing the size of the hole of a golf cup so that a player is able to putt towards a smaller cup. The cup insert can be inserted into and fixed positionally in the cup so that the upwardly facing end of the insert will present a hole whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of a conventional golf cup and which is located flush with the surface of the ground surrounding the cup. The insert includes a cup insert member whose largest outer diameter is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the cup and has at its bottom an axially adjustable support which when the insert is inserted into the cup, supports against the bottom thereof and enables the upwardly facing side of the cup to be adjusted to the level of the surface surrounding the golf cup, depending on the depth of the cup.
