Patent EP-0802381-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BRUNNMAIR ERWIN DIPL ING
IPC: F26B1/00
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: Process for drying sludge to produce a dry fine grained bulk solid is described. During the drying process, a quantity of the previously-dried bulk solid is added to the drying sludge. The novelty is that the quantity of dried bulk solid which has been produced by drying earlier sludge is measured, and that the quantity of dried bulk solid added to the moist sludge is inversely proportional to the quantity of fine grained bulk solid material which will be produced by drying the moist batch. Preferably the quantity of fine grained bulk solid produced from a given quantity of sludge is measured at intervals or on a continual basis, and the quantity of dry bulk solid which is added to the drying sludge is adjusted accordingly. Preferably the temperature and quantity of dry sludge grains discharged is measured and used as a process control function regulating the quantity of incoming moist sludge.

Abstract: When power failure occurs, a lifting drive system is operated by a simple arrangement with a power consumption smaller than that in ordinary operation until the idle rotation of a spindle drive system is approximately stopped. The draft part and spindle drive system is driven by a main motor (M) through a driving shaft (1). The lifting drive system is independent of the draft part and spindle drive system and driven by a first drive motor (19) in ordinary operation and when power failure occurs, it is driven by a second drive motor (28) which can be driven with a power consumption smaller than that of the first drive motor. Electric power is supplied to the second drive motor (28) and a controller (30) from a battery (37) in the power failure and the controller (30) controls the second drive motor (28) until the idle rotation of the spindle drive system is approximately stopped. Yarn is wound around a bobbin in the state that it does not cause a hindrance when a spinning machine is restarted and the rewinding of the yarn in a winder process is not hindered.

Abstract: A satellite communications system comprises
satellites 9A-C, earth stations 7A-E, user terminals 11
and controlling gateways 3 in the form of mobile
satellite switching centres 5A-E. Access with a user
terminal 11 may be gained to a terrestrial telephone
system 1 by earth stations 7A-E contacting the
satellites 9A-C and by the satellites contacting the
user terminals 11. The satellites 9A-C periodically
broadcast messages indicative of the earth station 7A-E
with which they are instantly in contact. The user
terminal 11 listens to and logs these broadcasts to
keep a list of the relative number of times each earth
station 7A-E can be heard. When calling into the
system, the user terminal pages earth stations in
descending order of number of entries in the log. When
in contact, the user terminal 11 sends the log to the

Title: Pro-protein converting enzyme
Inventor: DAY ROBERT
IPC: A61P7/02
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A cDNA clone encoding the human prohormone convertase PC5 was isolated from human adrenal gland messenger RNA. The deduced protein sequene would encode a 915 amino acid prepro PC5 which shares a very high degree of homology with the previously cloned rat and mouse homologues. PC5 mRNA is detected in multiple human tissues, including the brain, adrenal and thyroid glands, heart, placenta, lung and testes. PC5 mRNA was undetectable in the liver and is present at lower levels in skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, small intestine and stomach. Co-transfection of human PC5 and human prorenin expression vectors in cultured GH4Cl cells leads to secretion of active renin. The activation of human prorenin by PC5 is dependent on a pair of basic amino acids at positions 42 and 43 of the prorenin prosegment and occurs only in cells containing dense core secretory granules. Human PC5 was co-localized with renin by immunohistochemistry in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland suggesting that it could participate in the activation of a local renin-angiotensin system in the human adrenal cortex. PC5 is overexpressed in atherosclerotic coronary blood vessels. Silencing PC5 expression with a specific antisense oligonucleotide efficiently inhibited the proliferation of smooth muscle cells in culture. Furthermore, the antisense inhibited carotid stenosis in a carotoid injury model. These results indicate that silencing PC5 applies to the prevention of restenosis. PCs could be targets of choice for treating any proliferative diseases involving their action on a given growth factor. Finally, the antisense oligonucleotide PC5 is to be used for silencing the activity of this enzyme towards HIV gp160, since both coexist in CD4+ T lymphocytes and the viral glycoprotein is cleavable by PC5.

Abstract: A system for securely providing restricted display
information having an encoder transmitter for transmitting
selected update data using information identification codes
as enabling reception keys and a plurality of uniquely
identified decoder-receivers for receiving the update data
for display or a video screen. Authorized decoders are
provided with enable reception keys so that subsequently
transmitted data having an information identification code
matching a reception key at a decoder-receiver may be
retrieved for subsequent display on the video screen.
Symbolic signaling is used so that enabling a decoder-receiver
with a reception key also provides display
coordinate information for displaying the update data in the
proper relative display location for the video screen of
that enabled decoder, so that the update data subsequently
transmitted is displayed using that display coordinate
information. Tile messaging and cellular micrographic
transmission techniques are used to reduce the volume of
data transmitted to changed update data, wherein cells of
characters are transmitted as one byte of data and cells of
pixel data are transmitted a plurality of bytes of data.
Each decoder-receiver may have a plurality of video screens
separately and uniquely identified such that encoded update
data and other messages are transmitted for specific video
screens. The system includes multiplexing display
information, including, e.g., financial market information
and television program information signals, from different
sources and transmitting the multiplexed signals to the
decoder-receivers for selectively displaying different
combinations of financial market information and/or
television program information signals on different video
