  • Patent number: 7142966
    Abstract: A method of applying substances to a land begins with inputting data indicative of the substance requirement for the land into a processor. The land is traversed with a vehicle having an engine and a transmission that can vary the vehicle speed without adjusting the engine speed. The vehicle has an appliance including a mechanism for applying the substance to the land. The appliance application rate is input into the processor with the desired engine speed. The land is traversed with the vehicle with the engine speed set at the desired engine speed. The vehicle position is established, and a signal is generated to indicate a requirement for adjustment to the transmission to change the vehicle speed to match the individual section requirement to the appliance application rate. Lastly, the transmission is adjusted according to the signal generated by the processor.

  • Publication number: 20050272031
    Abstract: Disclosed are viral variants exhibiting reduced sensitivity to particular agents including nucleoside analogues and immunological mediators such as immunoglobulins and immune cells. Also provided are hepatitis B virus (HBV) variants which exhibit a level of replication fitness in the presence of a nucleoside analogue similar to or greater than in the absence of the nucleoside analogue. The present invention also provides methods of treating HBV infection, including a method for identifying a need to change or otherwise alter an existing therapeutic regimen. Also disclosed are methods for monitoring the development in a subject of an increased HBV load in the presence of a nucleoside analogue. The present invention further provides the use of nucleoside analogue-resistant HBV variants which exhibit a similar or increased replication fitness in the presence of the nucleoside analogue compared to in the absence of the nucleoside analogue to screen for medicaments to treat HBV infection.

  • Patent number: 6523469
    Abstract: A device for metering and equalizing an ink layer on the surface of a printing machine roller, in particular on the surface of an ink applicator roller in the inking unit of a printing machine, the surface being additionally wetted with dampening medium. The device contains at least two doctor blades which are arranged preferably at a short distance one behind the other in the direction of rotation of the roller and rest under pressure against the surface of the roller and of which a front doctor blade, with respect to the direction of rotation of the roller, has a doctor blade edge radius such that essentially only the dampening medium, but not the ink layer, can be wiped off from the surface of the roller by said front doctor blade, while a rear doctor blade, with respect to the direction of rotation of the roller, has, by comparison, a smaller doctor blade edge radius such that at least part of the ink layer which has remained on the surface of the roller can be wiped off.

  • Publication number: 20030018423
    Abstract: A method of applying substances to a section of land begins with inputting data indicative of the substance requirement for the section of land into a data processor. The area of land is traversed with a vehicle having an engine and a transmission including means for varying the speed of the vehicle without adjustment of the engine speed. The vehicle has at least one appliance comprising an application mechanism for application of the substance to the area attached thereto. The application rate of the appliance is input into the data processor with the desired engine speed. The area of land is traversed with the vehicle with the engine speed set at the desired engine speed. The position of the vehicle is established, and a signal is generated to indicate a requirement for adjustment to the transmission to increase or decrease the speed of the vehicle to match the individual section requirement to the application rate of the appliance.
