Patent FI-953321-A (FI)
Inventor: BLOOMQUIST CYNTHIA G
IPC: C12R1/46
Filed: 1995-07-05
Abstract: The present invention described provides a start microbial replication factor, as well as methods for assaying and using the start microbial replication factor. A start microbial replication factor can be used to stimulate the growth of bacteria in suspension or bound to a surface. Agents that inhibit or enhance a start microbial replication factor can also be identified. The present invention also describes processes to treat or control the growth of bacteria which are bound to surfaces. Both proliferation and metabolism of bacteria which are adhered to surfaces are independent of both time and nutrient supply. Growth of adherent bacteria is density dependent. The present invention also provides a process to predict when bacterial growth will exhibit rapid growth on a surface. The invention also provides strains of transformed bacteria and methods of using the bacteria strains to measure microbial growth in the presence of absence of a start microbial replication factor. The transformed bacteria have a bacterial reporter gene under the control of a promoter whose expression is coordinately regulated with cell growth.

Inventor: KALVERKAMP KLEMENS
IPC: A01D17/10
Filed: 1995-08-11
Abstract: The lifted root crop is passed up a conveyor with the belt formed by crossbars between flexible side belts. The belt is looped between pairs of wheels running on the side belts with the upper wheels (12) adjustable in position to form steps between them and the fixed wheels (10) under the belt. These steps cause the crop to be shaken and rotated as it passes through the steps thereby removing any soil.   The adjustable rollers are on adjustable support arms and can be adjusted progressively. This allows the operator to select the optimum step height to suit the conditions. The wheels have profiled outer rims to grip the belt. Suitable profiles include polygonal sided wheel discs.

Title: Method of and apparatus for the control of superheat in steam generators
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1955-01-13
Abstract: 764,131. Burners. RILEY STOKER CORPORATION. Jan. 13,1955 [April 15, 1954], No. 1060/55. Class 75(1). [Also in Group XIII] In a steam generator in which the final steam temperature is controlled by superimposing a regulable vibratory movement on the hot gas flow through the superheater, the movement is produced by a pulsating burner 33 fitted to the furnace roof 32 to fire downwardly through an aperture 43 therein into the superheater pass. The burner consists of a combustion chamber 44 closed at its upper end by a spring-loaded valve 46 and surmounted by a mixing chamber 48 into which is fed air and pulverised fuel from pipes 34, 35 respectively. The mixture is ignited by the hot gases flowing in the .superheater pass and burns explosively causing a strong compression wave to be projected into the pass. The sudden pressure increase closes valve 46 and is followed by a drop in pressure in the combustion chamber 44 whereupon the valve 46 opens to admit a fresh charge of the fuel-air mixture. When the final steam temperature changes from the required value the settings of valves in pipes 34, 35 are altered automatically to effect an appropriate increase or decrease in the firing frequency of the burner.

Title: Conveyors for transporting bags
IPC: B65C9/02
Filed: 1960-01-12
Abstract: 977,382. Closing filled packages; labelling machines; endless conveyers. R. W. BARRACLOUGH Ltd., and R. W. BARRACLOUGH. April 10, 1961 [Jan. 12, 1960], No. 1077/60. Headings B8A, B8C and B8F. Bags B have their necks closed and are labelled in a machine through successive stations of which they are moved by the action of endless belts 25, 26. The bags B are fed to the belts 25, 26 by being delivered via a shoot (not shown) to support rails 181, 182 (Fig. 10) and between locating plates 183, 184. The latter are brought together at the appropriate moment to both centre the bag and close its neck. This action is derived from respective cams on cam-shafts 63, 64 (64 only visible in Fig. 6). Endless belts 51, 53 are caused by cams 41a, 43a to swing together to grip the neck of the bag B and so convey the latter into engagement with the belts 25, 26. The latter stop when the bag arrives at a label-applying station (Fig. 13). The arrival of the bag B trips a switch 171 so as to initiate the release of suction from a pad 122 thereby releasing a label C which rests on a rail 121 extending from a bracket 49d (Fig. 6). A cam 123 on a cam-shaft 64 causes the lowering of a U-shaped member 128 which folds down the label C as shown in broken lines in Fig. 13. Cams 131, 132, on cam-shafts 63, 64, act through toggle linkages 141, 143 on heat-sealing heads 139, 140, which seal the side edges of the label to the bag B. The endless bands 25, 26 then carry the bag B to a second station (Fig. 15) at which the sealing of the opposed faces of the label C to the corresponding faces of the bag B is completed by the action of jaws 145, 146, actuated by similar mechanism to that associated with the members 139, 140. The jaws 145, 146 also seal the upper parts of the opposing faces of the label C to each other. At a third station (Fig. 18), a hole is punched through the label by means of a punch 164 acting in conjunction with a die 162 carried by a bracket 161. The bag is then delivered to a further pair of endless belts 50, 52, similar to the belts 51, 53. Arms 40a, 42a are then given an oscillatory movement away from each other so as to open the belts 50, 52 and deliver the bag on which the labelling has been completed. The belts 25, 26 and 50, 52 are driven by shafts 31, 33 and the drive is transmitted by the belts 25, 26 to the belts 51, 53. The intermittent rotation of the shafts 31, 33 is derived from a Geneva mechanism (Figs. 19-21, not shown). The arms 40a, 41a, 42a, 43a, derive their oscillatory motion from camshafts 63, 64 (64 only visible in Fig. 6). The belts 25, 26 may comprise chains 111 carrying bag-engaging members 113 outwardly urged from the chain by the action of spring 115.

Title: Improvements relating to electric asynchronous machines
IPC: H02K17/12
Filed: 1924-01-18
Abstract: 210,427. Martinetto, V. Jan. 26, 1923, [Convention date]. Alternating-current induction machines.-The torque, power factor, and speed of an asynchronous motor or generator are controlled by modifications of the magnetic circuit of the end connections of the rotor and stator, this circuit being so arranged that the secondary field is almost totally a stray field while the primary field, which is almost entirely a magnetizing field, is interlinked with the secondary end connections, and the end fields due both to the primary and to the secondary end connections cross the field due to the winding parallel to the shaft. The end fields are provided with magnetic paths or bridges of U-shape. Fig. 6 shows a motor having two stators and rotors in which the U-shaped path for the end fields between the two structures comprises the stator and rotor cores and a magnetic cylinder 11 which supports the rotors, the path being closed by the central part of the stator casing 7. The rotors are preferably of the wound type and may be connected in series or in parallel. The cylinder 11 may be replaced by a number of bars 11, Fig. 9, parallel to the shaft and wound with coils 12 in series with the secondary windings 4. This winding is interlinked with the primary end flux #<1> and generates stray fields #<3> completed through an air path. The magnetic axis of the field of the winding 12 preferably coincides with that of the winding 4. In the form shown in Fig. 10, the U-shaped path is left open and the primary end field #<1> is linked with the secondary end connections also, while the secondary end field #<1> is only linked with the primary end connections to a small extent. The torque and speed may be controlled by varying the primary end flux by altering the impressed primary voltage; by displacing relatively to one another the two stators in the double form of machine shown in Fig. 6, or by varying the phase in one of the windings relatively to the other; or by varying the secondary voltage by regulating the turns of the windings 12, Fig. 9. Fig. 11 shows a form in which the primary end field and the secondary dispersion is varied by moving cups 13, 14 with respect to the end shields so as to vary the reluctance of the end path. Diagrams are given in the Specification to explain the magnetic reactions which occur.
