Abstract: This process for the production of 2-keto-D-gluconic acid starts from D-glucose. D-glucose
is catalytically oxidised using molecular oxygen in a one-pot process. The
oxidation is performed in the presence of well-known Pt/Pb catalysts. The initial
reaction to D-gluconic acid is performed at constant pH between 7 and 10. There after
the reaction is continued without pH control. This process results in a high selectivity
compared with known processes.

Abstract: The detector has two parts. One (22), with associated detection and reader circuits, is transparent to a certain wavelength, which is detected by a sequential second part (24). The two parts comprise (m1 x n1) and (m2 x n2) matrices where at least some of the pixels face each other. Preferably, there is identical pixel topology for each part. The detection circuits (26,30) may be hybridised with the reader circuits (28,32) by electrically conducting microballs (46) or integrated on a single chip. The parts have anti-reflectant layers on each surface and there may be a filter or absorber for wavelengths less than or equal to each wavelength that the second detector might detect. The reader circuits are preferably based on silicon. A third colour may be detected using a second detector that operates at two wavelengths and a fourth colour by replacing both parts by ones operating at two wavelengths.

Abstract: A user (10) accessing resources on the Internet is often required to change servers
(40A,40B) whilst in the middle of what for the user is a single task. For example, the
user may have accessed a multi-homed database or may have browsed a catalog on one
server (40A) and now needs to go to another (40B) to make payment. As many Internet
resources require user authentication, the process of changing servers frequently results
in the user having to re-authenticate himself/herself. To overcome this problem the
present invention provides that a server (40A) wishing to direct a user (10) to another
server (40B) does so by returning ([2]) a URI that has been signed by the first serve r by
including a signature in the URI. The user (10) uses this signed URL to access ([3]) the
second server (40B). The second server (40B) can then use the signature contained in the
URL to confirm that the user (10) has come from the first server (40A) and therefore
does not need to be re-authenticated. Information can also be included in the URI and
the signature used at the second server (40B) to check its integrity.

Abstract: A positioning assembly (106) for a ram head (336) has a top surface for receiving impact
pulses produced by a ram mechanism and a bottom surface for transmitting said impact
pulses to a pile (102) with the purpose of driving said pile (102) into the ground or into a
similar surface. The assembly comprises: 
a first part and a second part. The first part defines an inner space for receiving said ram
head (336) and exposing said top and bottom surfaces thereof and allowing said ram head
(336) to transmit said impact pulses from said ram mechanism to said pile (102).The first
part further has blocking means (342) for preventing said ram head (336) from being
separated from said first part, and is fixatable to said ram mechanism. 
     The second part (330) is journalled rotatably relative to the first part round an axis of
rotation, which is substantially coinciding with the longitudinal axes of said ram head (336)
and of said pile (102). 
     The second part (330) further has fixation means for fixating said pile (102) in a specific
and fixed rotational relationship relative to said second part (330). The assembly further
comprises motor-drive means (300) co-operating with the first and second parts and has a
first operational mode and a second operational mode. 
     The motor-drive means (300) generates in the first operational mode a rotational motion of
said second part (330) relative to said first part round said axis of rotation, and generates in
said second operational mode a fixation of said second part (330) relative to said first part
preventing said second part from rotating relative to said first part round said axis of
rotation.

Abstract: The method is aimed at indirectly determining the energy
absorbed by a conducting layer (5) forming part of
a strip of packaging material (1) to be sealed transversely.
The method is based on measuring parameters
correlated with the power supplied by a current source
(45) to the packaging material (1) during sealing, and
with the temperature of the conducting layer (5). The
temperature measurement takes into account the temperature
of the product to be packed, the characteristics
of the packaging material, and the characteristics of
the mechanical sealing members; correct cutting of the
packaging material after sealing is also determined;
and the parameters are monitored by measuring associated
quantities and by comparison with permissible values.

IPC: G02B6/255

Abstract: When welding optical fibers (1) retained to form a fiber ribbon the end portions of
the fibers are imaged by a lens system (15) on a surface (17) comprising CCD-elements
in a camera (13). Since two such pictures must be made in approximately perpendicular
directions in order to determine the positions of the fiber ends, the optical axis when
capturing such a picture must be located obliquely to a plane through the end portions of
the fiber ribbons. The oblique position of the object in the picture results in that the
magnification of the end portions of the fibers will be different for different fibers and
thereby also the background illumination will be different and the contrast in a captured
image will vary in the different portions of the picture, which show different fibers. In
order to achieve a homogenous background illumination a light source (23) is placed in
the radiation path behind the end portions (= the object) as seen from the camera (13)
and between the light source (23) and the object (1) a diaphragm (27), which is designed
as a non-circular aperture, for example having the shape of a semicircle or a symmetric
trapezoid. In order to even more improve the background illumination a light scattering
plate (29) is arranged between the diaphragm (27) and the object.

Date Aug. 6, 1998The present invention relates to a heating installation with a Stirling engine and Stirling-type heat pump integrated within a single pressure vessel. Two hot chambers and two cold chambers, as well as a working chamber in which a piston is mounted such that it oscillates freely, are located inside the pressure vessel. The chambers are in fluid communication with one another. A displacer is able to oscillate freely to and for between each pair of hot and cold chambers. By means of this Stirling engine of the fire piston type and the Stirling heat pump integrated therewith, a low-noise, low-maintenance and highly energy-efficient heating installation is formed which has a high net efficiency (COP value between 1.5 and 2.5). The heat from the cold chamber of the Stirling engine and from the hot chamber of the Stirling heat pump part is passed to a hot water system via a first and second heat exchanger. The heat from the exhaust gases is passed to a third heat exchanger. The heat exchangers may be connected in series or partly or wholly in parallel. Preferably the burner of the installation according to the present invention has a flat heat transfer behaviour to the Stirling engine's hot end upon increasing the power input of the burner, so that it can function as an auxiliary heater upon peak load demand.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des résonateurs au silicium, thermiquement insensibles, obtenus par micro-usinage, et dotés d'une précision équivalente ou supérieure à celle des résonateurs à quartz, ces résonateurs étant fabriqués par un procédé micromécanique de silicium sur verre. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce résonateur est réalisé à l'aide d'un gyroscope à diapason (4). L'utilisation des résonateurs au silicium permet d'obtenir des références de tension de précision (PVR), résistantes aux radiations. La sensibilité thermique est réduite par rapport à celle d'un oscillateur formé par un procédé de silicium sur silicium, et elle est comparable à celle d'un oscillateur à quartz. En utilisant un dispositif micromécanique basé sur un gyroscope à dispason (4), on obtient des résonateurs à partir d'un axe ou des deux axes de direction et d'entraînement du gyroscope. Un résonateur formé comme une boucle de résonateur (8) dont la fréquence de résonance est comparée à un étalon de fréquence produit une tension de polarisation comme tension de référence (Vref).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for the purification of residual waters and
contaminants effluents based on the use of aquatic plants of the type of emergent
macrophytes which have been conditioned in order to keep floating at the surface of
channels, ducts, lagoons or ponds where contaminated water flows. The plants form a
mantle floating on the water surface, while keeping immersed the root system, and the
rhizones and the basis of the stems. The immersed portion has a large specific surface to
which an abondant microbial flora is fixed and of which the growth is enhanced by the
oxygen pumped towards that area by the leaves. The assembly formed by the roots and
the micro-organisms acts as a filter which eliminates the organic dissolved material in
addition to mineral compounds (phosphor and nitrogen, amongst others) which are
absorbed mainly by the plants. Periodically, the floating biomass can be easily removed
and used for energetic or industrial purposes.
