Abstract: A rotary swash plate type continuously variable transmission comprises a driving mechanism, an output mechanism and a casing 24. The driving mechanism comprises a rotational swash plate 9 with variable angle of inclination and at least three slide stems which are disposed parallel and equiangular with each other. Each slide stem is equipped with a one-way rotary helical gear 13 at one end, and contacts with and slides on the surface of the swash plate at the other end. The output mechanism comprises a one-way rotational output shaft 16 and a larger helical gear 14 which is disposed on the output shaft 16 and meshed with the helical gears 13. The transmission according to the invention is compact in view of structure and smooth in view of its output rotational speed. Moreover, the minimal rotational speed may be zero.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary swash plate type continuously variable transmission, which comprises a driving mechanism, an output mechanism and a casing 24. Said driving mechanism comprises a rotational swash plate 9 with variable angle of inclination and at least three slide stems which are disposed parallel and equiangular with each other. Each slide stem is equipped with a one-way rotary bevel wheel 13 at one end, and contacts with and slides on the surface of the swash plate at the other end. Said output mechanism comprises a one-way rotational output shaft 16 and a larger bevel wheel 14 which is disposed on the output shaft 16 and meshed with the bevel wheels 13. The transmission according to the invention is compact in view of structure and smooth in view of its output rotational speed. Axial lines of the input shaft and the output shaft may be coincident so it can be a coaxial continuously variable transmission. Moreover, the minimal rotational speed may be zero.

Abstract: A method for extracting edge with subpixel accuracy in photogrammetry, comprising steps of: a. capturing into a computer a picture, of which the edge is to be extracted; b. defining as a cell four neighboring pixels that form a square; c. recognizing the type of each cell composed of the four pixels; d. finding out side or sides of the cell that intersect with, the edge and figuring out the subpixel accuracy coordinates of the intersection points by linear interpolation; and e. connecting the intersection points to extract the edge. By this method edge curve is extracted rapidly and accurately. The edge determined in this way can be subpixel accurate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an improved method based on hormone-receptor binding for the determination of follicle stimulating hormone and to improved reagents useful for the determination of follicle stimulating hormone in a hormone-receptor binding assay.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel liposome compositions and methods for their preparation. Utilization of the present invention provides an efficient reconstitution of membrane proteins into large (0.1 to 2 micron diameter) phospholipid vesicles with a large, internal aqueous space. The method has been exemplified with the use of glycoproteins of influenza (A/PR8/34) and Sendai (parainfluenza type I) viruses. The method comprises (A) extracting out the desired membrane protein from a source biological material with an extraction buffer comprising a detergent; (B) mixing the extract with a phospholipid solution and deriving a cochleate intermediate; and (C) forming large phospholipid vesicles with integrated membrane protein in a biologically active state.
