Abstract: An oxidized magnesium sulfate-containing aqueous medium
from a sulfur dioxide removal process using magnesium sulfite and
magnesium bisulfite to remove sulfur dioxide from a gaseous stream
is passed to a regeneration tank and an aqueous lime slurry fed
thereto. The lime reacts with the magnesium sulfate to produce
solid calcium sulfate and magnesium hydroxide, with the lime added
in an amount sufficient to maintain the aqueous solution discharged
from the regeneration tank at a pH of between 9.0-9.5, a magnesium
ion content of about 200-600 ppm and a calcium ion content of about
2000-2500 ppm, so as to prevent scaling of lines and equipment
downstream of the regeneration tank.

Abstract: An aqueous adjuvant composition comprising an attenuated lipid A derivative and a non-immunostimulatory surfactant or surfactants enhances the immunological response in a warm blooded animal to a protein antigen. Attenuated lipid A derivatives useful according to the subject invention include monophosphoryl lipid A and 3-O-deacylated monophosphoryl lipid A. A surfactant or mixtures of surfactants are dissolved in a solvent. 1,2 Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a preferred surfactant. The dissolved surfactant is added to an attenuated lipid A derivative to obtain a mixture. The molar ratio of attenuated lipid A derivative to surfactant in the mixture is about 4:1. The solvent is evaporated and water is added to the resulting film. The suspension is sonicated in a 60° C. water bath until it becomes clear. Animals administered the adjuvant formulation exhibited increased antibody responses to a given antigen as well as displayed enhanced lymphocyte proliferative and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. Intranasal administration of the aqueous adjuvant composition and an antigen stimulates the production of serum and mucosal secreted IgA.

Ce central peut être situé dans la même zone de couverture de faisceau fin que celle du premier ou du second terminal utilisateur, ou il peut tout aussi bien être situé dans une zone de couverture de faisceau fin différente. Par un routage sélectif de fréquence et/ou de polarisation à bord du satellite, un central situé dans un faisceau  </= parent >/=  peut communiquer avec des terminaux utilisateur à l'intérieur du faisceau parent sur une fréquence et sur une polarisation données, et il peut communiquer avec des utilisateurs situés dans d'autres faisceaux  </= dépendants >/=  sur une fréquence et /ou une polarisation différente. Ce routage attribue la totalité disponible de la bande entre les faisceaux parents et dépendants.

Abstract: The method for switching between audio services in a radio receiver switches to an audio service with the same program in dependence on determined signal parameters of the audio service. The audio services are transmitted by digital and/or analog transmission. A time offset between the transmitted services is determined and this time offset is taken into account in the switching over process. The time offset may be determined e.g. by comparing times of pauses in speech in the transmitted services or programs. Independent claims also cover a radio receiver for carrying out the process.
