The adjustable suspension includes a first and second pair of transversely disposed leaf springs supporting the vehicle. Each leaf spring includes a threaded aperture formed therein. A first and second threaded, rotatable, spindle respectively engages the apertures of the first and second pair of leaf springs. The adjustable suspension further includes actuating means for rotatably driving at least one of the spindles and mode selection means for selectively engaging the actuation means with at ...

Dry strength additives used to enhance the properties of creped tissues are applied to the surface of the Yankee dryer along with the creping adhesive formulation and thereafter transferred to the tissue web as the tissue web is being adhered to the Yankee. When dry strength agents are applied in this manner, less dust and lint are accumulated resulting in improved productivity and product quality.

An integrated circuit allows a user or system designer to program the length of a transaction cycle by programming the lengths of the setup time period, the command time period and the recovery time period, individually. An eight-bit register is used to store a two-bit prescaler value and a six-bit count value for each of the setup, command and recovery time periods. The value represented by the prescaler is then multiplied by the count value and the resulting value is input to a timer which cou...

A surfactant composition containing a mixture of at least two surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionics, nonionics, cationics, amphoterics, and mixtures thereof, wherein the surfactants have matching carbon chain length distributions in their hydrophobic groups.

A fast-synchronizing receiver having a circuit including an equalizer configured for manipulating an analog signal; a detector in communication with the equalizer; a filter in communication with the detector; an oscillator in communication with the filter; a gate for receiving the manipulated signal; a circuit portion for synchronizing and tracking the manipulated signal; a summing circuit in communication with the circuit portion; and an output gate.

The present invention relates to a CCR2 deletion mutant, designated "CCR2-64I." CCR2 is a C--C chemokine receptor and has been implicated as a co-receptor for HIV-1. It has been discovered that the presence of the CCR2-64I allele correlates with a postponement of AIDS outcomes, and that infected individuals who have the CCR2-64I allele are at a reduced risk for progression from HIV-1 infection to the development of clinical AIDS and death. Isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding CCR2-64I and the...

An example system and method for processing image data of a plurality of time-separated images of a non-rigid body to detect movement of the body involves calculating and storing, for each of a plurality of sampling points in each image, a plurality of candidate movements together with the estimated probability of each candidate. For each sampling point, the probability of each of the candidate movements is recalculated based on the stored probability of that candidate movement and the probabili...

A subband audio coder employs perfect/non-perfect reconstruction filters, predictive/non-predictive subband encoding, transient analysis, and psycho-acoustic/minimum mean-square-error (mmse) bit allocation over time, frequency and the multiple audio channels to encode/decode a data stream to generate high fidelity reconstructed audio. The audio coder windows the multi-channel audio signal such that the frame size, i.e. number of bytes, is constrained to lie in a desired range, and formats the en...
