A method of and apparatus for improving the resolution of compounds eluted from a separation device are disclosed, particularly suited for use in the fields of gas or liquid chromatography. Embodiments of the invention provide that spectroscopic data are measured from an effluent eluted from a chromatography device as a function of elution time; peaks in intensity are identified to form a first set of identified peaks; peaks not due to an eluting compound are discarded from the first set of identified peaks thereby forming a second set of identified peaks from those retained; each peak in the second set of peaks is transformed into a first model peak centered on the elution time of each peak in the second set of peaks; some or all the model peaks created are added together to create a new chromatogram; and all identified peaks in intensity in the second set of peaks having elution times within a given time period of identified peaks in intensity in the new chromatogram are grouped together and assigned to a single eluted compound thereby forming a processed data set.

When a head-up display apparatus is used, a combiner stored in a storage position in a housing is moved to a use position in front of the housing. Thus, a storage space in the housing becomes unoccupied. A projector is moved to a projection position in the storage space that becomes unoccupied and unused.

A method is used for producing an SiC volume monocrystal by sublimation growth. Before the beginning of growth, an SiC seed crystal is arranged in a crystal growth region of a growth crucible and powdery SiC source material is introduced into an SiC storage region of the growth crucible. During the growth, by sublimation of the powdery SiC source material and by transport of the sublimated gaseous components into the crystal growth region, an SiC growth gas phase is produced there. The SiC volume monocrystal having a central center longitudinal axis grows by deposition from the SiC growth gas phase on the SiC seed crystal. The SiC seed crystal is heated substantially without bending during a heating phase before the beginning of growth, so that an SiC crystal structure with a substantially homogeneous course of lattice planes is provided in the SiC seed crystal.

An anti-theft module for a battery-operated electric machine tool includes at least a first data interface configured to transmit data to an external device. The anti-theft module also includes a position determination unit configured to determine a geographical position of the anti-theft module. The anti-theft module is configured to be installable as an adapter between a rechargeable battery interface of the electric machine tool and a replaceable battery.

A scanning transmission electron microscope operated with the sample in a high pressure environment. A preferred detector uses gas amplification by converting either scattered or unscattered transmitted electrons to secondary electrons for efficient gas amplification.

An image processing system for enabling a manufacturer's image forming apparatuses to be used as far as possible by a user. Design is made to enable a manufacturer or a vendor to appeal the predominance, particularly economy, of their own image forming apparatuses by the utilization of a user interface for controlling a recording process.

An electrical interlock system for including a power takeoff device operable in a first state to transfer mechanical energy from an associated combustible engine to an associated electric motor and/or generator and operative in a second state to prevent the transfer of mechanical energy from the associated combustible engine to the associated electric motor and/or generator. A relay having a first switch and an energizable portion, is coupled to the power takeoff device, the electric motor and an associated power source, such that when the energizable portion is receiving electrical power from the associated power source, the power takeoff device is in the first state and when the energizable portion is not receiving electrical power from the associated power source, the power takeoff device is in the second state.

A portable instrument for measuring a physiological quantity arranged to contact with the surface of organic tissue includes, essentially arranged in the same plane: an illumination device including at least one light source with an illumination surface for subjecting a portion of organic tissue to light emission in at least one wavelength range; and a detection device distant from the illumination device for detecting intensity of light emission produced by the illumination device after propagation in the organic tissue. The illumination device includes an optical element forming a guide coupled to the at least one light source for guiding light emission from the source by total internal reflection in a substantially parallel direction to the surface of the organic tissue and for distributing light emission into several illumination zones on the surface of the organic tissue over a substantially broader area than the illumination surface of the light source.

A lockout mechanism allows for controlled use of exercise equipment. Use is allowed on a time-controlled basis. A predetermined period of time is allocated based on an amount of money paid. The preferred embodiments include a coin-operated, time-controlled, lockout mechanism incorporated onto various types of exercise equipment to prohibit use. The first category including those types of exercise equipment which utilize flywheels, including but not limited to: elliptical trainers, stationary bicycles, stair steppers and cross-country ski machines. This first embodiment employs a friction device to prohibit use. The second category including those types of exercise equipment which utilize adjustable resistance in the form of a weight stack, including but not limited to: universal gyms and nautilus equipment. This second embodiment employs a spring loaded latch mechanism to prohibit use. A third category includes those types of exercise equipment which require electricity to operate. This third embodiment employs a timer circuit to interrupt power to prohibit use.

A cover for a glove having a back, a wrist, a thumb, index fingers, a web, a sizing strap, and a hook and loop fastener, the cover incorporating a sheet having a flexible base and a loop attached to the base; a web arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a wrist arm attached to the flexible sheet and extending oppositely from the base; a first hook and loop fastener attached to the web arm and adapted for, upon attaching the loop to the sizing strap, wrapping around the glove and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener; and a second hook and loop fastener attached to the wrist arm and adapted for wrapping around the glove's wrist and engaging the glove's hook and loop fastener.

Provided are a nanoliposome-microbubble conjugate in which a drug for hair loss treatment such as finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, etc. is encapsulated in a nanoliposome and a composition for alleviating or treating hair loss containing the same. Since an orally administered agent such as finasteride, currently useful as a drug for hair loss treatment, causes side effects, drug delivery through scalp application is most desirable, but the drug is not delivered to hair follicle cells through scalp application alone. Since a drug for hair loss treatment useful as an external preparation for skin causes various side effects, the concentration thereof that is used needs to be further lowered. The above nanoliposome-microbubble conjugate is capable of increasing the delivery efficiency of a drug for hair loss treatment at a low concentration, and is thus very effective at treating androgenic alopecia.
