Title: Pipe coupler of weldable plastics material
Inventor: THALMANN ALFRED
IPC: F16L47/00
Filed: 1985-07-31
Abstract: A molded tapping member for connecting a branch line to a pipeline includes a U-shaped saddle piece with a shell-shaped bight section and a pair of laterally spaced legs each extending outwardly from an opposite end of the bight section. The legs are formed of partial sections connected to one another by a film hinge. After positioning the tapping member on the pipeline by moving it radially toward the pipeline axis, the bight section and the legs are pressed around the pipeline. A heating wire mat is incorporated into the U-shaped saddle piece so that it fits closely around the pipeline for welding the tapping member to the pipeline. With the construction of this saddle piece a uniform welding pressure can be established during the welding operation.

Title: A low phosphorus animal feed containing 1alpha-hydroxylated vitamin d compounds
Inventor: DELUCA HECTOR F
IPC: A23K1/16
Filed: 1996-01-29
Abstract: An animal feed containing 1  alpha -hydroxylated vitamin D compounds. The vitamin D compounds cause improved utilization of phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and manganese in animal feed so as to minimize, or perhaps eliminate, the need for supplemental quantities of these minerals in an animal diet. In addition, low phosphorus containing animal feeds reduce the polluting effects on the environment since less phosphorus is excreted in the animal's feces which are then spread on agricultural land.

Title: A process for encapsulating viable animal cells
Inventor: CARTURAN GIOVANNI
IPC: C12N11/14
Filed: 1996-05-28
Abstract: A suspension of animal cells is incubated with supports to adhere the cells to the supports. Preferably, the supports have pores that provide pore volume, and the cells are grown during incubation until most of the available pore volume is filled with cells. An encapsulating layer is then formed around the supported cells by exposing the cells on the supports to a reactive gas composed of a carrier gas such as sterile air saturated with an inorganic alkoxide followed by treatment with steam to hydrolyze residual alkoxide groups. The encapsulated cells are stored by immersion in culture media. The cells may be in the form of cell aggregates, and the supports can be sterilized. The supports and encapsulating layer can have pores of a size that permit free exchange nutrients and metabolic products, and excludes the cells from contacting antibodies or immune cells when implanted. The encapsulated cells can used in an extracorporeal device or implanted directly.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing authentication of a mobile station in a wireless communication system. The present invention takes the number dialed by the mobile station user and computes the 24 bit number (AUTH-DATA) for authentication in accordance with a hashing function that has the following characteristics. The hashing function takes as its input at least the entire dialed digit string contained in the request for service and the number of digits. In a preferred embodiment, the ordering of the digits affects the result, as well as, the values of the digits. The preferred embodiment of the hashing function also accepts some or all of the mobile station identifier data. The function provides as output a number of suitable size for input to a second calculation of an authentication signature, such as the 24 bits required for AUTH-DATA. The output number is created in such a way that there is a minimum likelihood that other sets of dialed digits may create the same result.
