Abstract: Three conjugation methods for use with the capsular saccharide of Streptococcus agalactiae. In the first method, reductive animation of oxidised sialic acid residue side chains is used, but the aldehyde groups are first aminated, and then the amine is coupled to a carrier via a linker. In the second method, sialic acid residues and/or N-acetyl-glucosamine residues are de-N-acetylated to give amine groups, and the amine groups are coupled to a carrier protein via a linker. In the third method, linkage is via galactose residues in the capsular saccharide rather than sialic acid residues, which can conveniently be achieved using galactose oxidase.

Abstract: A leak in a membrane on top of a horizontal roof deck is located by a manually operable carriage which is swept over the upper surface of the membrane on the roof deck. A measuring and switching circuit generates a voltage having a positive attached to the roof deck and a negative attached to conductive brushes on the carriage. The brushes are arranged to form an outer peripheral contact with an inner contact inside the outer contact. Thus the presence of a leak is detected by the outer set of conductive brushes at distance from the leak and by the inner conductive brush when directly over the leakage site.

Abstract: A valve cage device is adapted for use with a subsurface pump or the like. The valve cage includes a housing and an insert. The insert includes a cradle, a plurality of angled ribs, and a base. In one embodiment, the insert may also include an extended nose region. A ball and seat may be positioned in the valve cage. During pumping operations, the cradle retains the ball when the ball is unseated, thereby allowing fluid to pass freely through channels in the insert and around the ball. This eliminates violent action of the ball, thereby obviating a need for a hard liner to be included in the valve cage. A port in the cradle allows fluid to pass therethrough when the ball has been released from the cradle. The angular configuration of the ribs provides for a more laminar flow of fluid compared with prior art valve cages, thereby providing improved passage of fluid through the valve cage. The base may include an angled hook or lip that creates a tight seal, thereby preventing fluid from washing by during pumping operations. During pumping operations, when the ball is released from the cradle, it is guided by the insert and falls straight downward onto the seat, allowing for faster seating of the ball, and in turn, reducing pump stroke loss and providing for more efficient pumping. The valve cage may be configured for a traveling valve or standing valve portion of a subsurface pump or the like.

Title: Apparatus and method for capturing serial input data
Inventor: PYEON HONG BEOM
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2007-12-04
Granted: 2016-05-17
Abstract: A serial input processing apparatus provides how to capture serial data without loss of a single bit while command interpretation is being performed in a command decoder at high frequency. Individual bytes of serial bits of a pre-defined sequence are latched and bit streams are temporarily stored with multiple clocks. The temporary store is conducted before transferring byte information to assigned address registers to register the address. The address registration and the data registration are performed by latching all bit streams of the serial input at the leading edges of clocks. While at a high frequency operation (e.g., 1 GHz or 1 ns cycle time), no additional registers are required for storing bit data during command interpretation with enough time margins between the command bit stream interpretation and next bit data stream.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a steam generator that employs tube support plates within a shroud that is in turn disposed within a shell. The tube support plates are made of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion lower than that of the shroud. The tube support plates are aligned during fabrication, with minimal clearances between components. Using a tube support displacement system, a controlled misalignment is then imposed on one or more tube support plates, as the steam generator heats up. Displacement to produce misalignment is produced only when the steam generator is heated. The tube support plate displacement system has only two parts, a spring bar and a push rod, that are internal to the steam generator shell and threadably engaged, thereby minimizing the potential of loose parts. The tube support plate displacement system can be used to provide controlled misalignments on one or more tube support plates, in the same or varying amounts and directions, and with one or more apparatus being provided for any individual tube support plate.

Granted: 2014-04-08
Abstract: An interface module between a communication module and a number of instances of business logic modules of a software engine comprises first and second functional elements. The first functional element receives incoming data from the communications module and selects which of the instances of business logic modules to forward the incoming data. The selection of an instance of the business logic module is based upon a ruie set held within a data structure at the first functional element. The incoming data passes to the selected logic module instance via the second functional element. The second functional element determines a mode of operation of the selected logic module instance. The mode of operation corresponds to either a single shot or a multiple shot mode of operation. If a multiple shot mode of operation is selected incoming data passes to the selected logic module instance sequentially. Alternatively, if a single shot mode of operation is selected a summary data record corresponding summary of incoming data received at the first function element passes to the selected logic module instance.

Abstract: Methods for fabricating a continuous film employ successive printing and annealing of two or more dispersions of prefabricated, compound nanoparticles to produce graded and multifunction semiconductor films suitable for use in photovoltaic cells and other semiconductor devices. The nanoparticles are of specified elemental composition and no more than 100 nm in diameter. The composition of the thin film may be optimized by providing compositional control over the precursor nanoparticles. This facilitates the fabrication of a continuous film comprised of layers of specified chemical composition, which allows for the compositional optimization of these layers. The composition of the nanoparticles can vary through various deposition and annealing steps. The nanoparticles may have the formula CuIn1-x Ga x Se2, wherein x varies between 0 and 1, resulting in a concentration gradient of at least one of indium and gallium through the film.
