Patent EP-0735134-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MACCHI WILLIAM A
IPC: C12M3/06
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: An insert for trans-membrane co-culture includes a hollow housing with a passageway therethrough, a first end, a second end and a center section intermediate the first and second end. The passageway has an inside diameter at the first end and the second end that is larger than the inside diameter of the passageway at the center section so that the passageway tapers from each end to the center section. The center section includes a porous membrane having a first surface and a second surface attached across and obstructing the passageway. The membrane forms a first receptacle from the passageway toward the first end and forms a second receptacle from the passageway toward the second end. A method for using the insert of the present invention to grow cells on both sides of a porous membrane includes horizontally submerging the insert in liquid medium so that the air in the receptacles is displaced by the medium. The insert is then tipped to an upright position while maintaining one end below the surface of the liquid. The insert is stood upright on the bottom of the well and a first cell suspension introduced in to the first receptacle. After allowing the first cell suspension to form a layer of cells on the first surface of the membrane the insert is removed, drained and again horizontally immersed in liquid medium so that the receptacles are filled. The insert is then returned to vertical while maintaining the first end below the surface of the medium, stood on the first end and a second cell suspension is introduced into the second receptacle. After suitable incubation, the second cell population forms a layer on the second surface of the membrane.

Abstract: Dans des systèmes de radiocommunications mobiles, il peut s'avérer nécessaire d'accepter plusieurs interfaces radio (1, 2) dans un seul réseau de radiocommunications mobiles. Pour accepter ces diverses interfaces radio, il est parfois nécessaire d'accepter plusieurs protocoles de signalisation dans une seule interface (interface A) disposée entre un circuit de commande de station de base (BSC) et un commutateur mobile (10) quand des stations de base (BTS1, BTS2) acceptant des interfaces radio différentes sont connectées, par un circuit commun de commande (BSC) de station de base, au commutateur mobile (10). Ce dernier, ainsi que le circuit de commande (BSC) de station de base, doivent pouvoir reconnaître de quel protocole de signalisation relève un message de transfert présent dans l'interface unique. Selon la présente invention, les messages transferés par l'interface unique (interface A) sont dotés d'un paramètre de discrimination entre des messages relevant d'interfaces radio (1, 2) et de protocoles de signalisation différents.

membranes based on copolymer of vinylidene fluoride with
tetrafluoroethylene at 8 - 70% mass content of
tetrafluoroethylene the pore size of which is
0.0015 - 0.030 µm, and the volume porosity is within
35 - 60% range. Such membranes are characterized by
oxygen permeability not less than 2.70 m 3 /m 2  atm h, and
steam permeability not more than 0.178 mg/h·cm 2 . 
     In order to improve stability it is possible to
cover membranes additionally on the more dense side with
a layer of hydrophobic film-forming polymer
(polydimethylsiloxane, polyvinyltrimethylsilane,
polytrimethylsilylpropyne, polyvinylidene fluoride or its
copolymer with tetrafluoroethylene) at the surface
coating density of not more than 5 g/m 2 . Moreover, in
order to improve the strength they may additionally
include a large-pore fibrous support of polypropylene or
polyamide at mass ratio of the fibrous support and
fluoropolymer membrane layer 1:(0.3 - 1.5).

Abstract: A method for processing thermoplastic melt, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or highly soiled thermoplastic scrap of various composition involves degassing the melt and feeding it as one or more extruded strands of prescribed geometry to the evacuated inlet side of a gear pump (39). This increases the melt pressure so that it may be discharged through a die (41). Also claimed is the gear pump to which vacuum can be applied which has an inlet hopper above and tapering towards the gear wheels. The rotor shafts enable a small amount of the conveyed material to run axially to atmosphere and act as a lubricating medium for the shaft bearings.

Abstract: On connaît un récepteur possédant un démodulateur pour des signaux modulés par déplacement de fréquence modulés par une fréquence intermédiaire. Ce démodulateur connu applique des mesures de période absolue exprimant la période d'un signal de fréquence intermédiaire divisé en impulsions d'horloge d'une horloge de référence de fréquence relativement élevée afin de détecter les données provenant d'un signal reçu. Ce démodulateur est sensible à la dérivation de fréquence de l'horloge de référence et possède une consommation de puissance relativement importante. L'invention concerne un récepteur possédant un démodulateur conçu pour transformer le signal modulé par déplacement de fréquence modulé par une fréquence intermédiaire en un signal modulé par déplacement de fréquence modulé par une fréquence plus basse, de sorte que la déviation relative de fréquence représentant les données devient sensiblement plus importante. Ce démodulateur est conçu pour déterminer les données démodulées depuis le signal modulé par déplacement de fréquence modulé par une fréquence plus basse en déterminant une différence de largeur d'au moins deux périodes mesurées successivement du signal modulé par déplacement de fréquence modulé par une fréquence plus basse, en générant une première valeur logique de signal si la différence possède une première polarité et en générant une deuxième valeur logique de signal si la différence possède une deuxième polarité.
