Patent EP-1052019-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KATO YASUYOSHI
IPC: B01J19/32
Filed: 1998-11-12
Abstract: The catalyst structure of the present invention for
purifying an exhaust gas is preferable for increasing the
contact of an exhaust gas, to be treated, with a catalyst by
disturbing the flow of the exhaust gas in a gas flow passage
thereby obtain a highly efficient and compact apparatus for
treating the exhaust gas. Such catalyst structure is produced
by forming two or more catalyst elements each supporting a
catalyst component on its surface and having flat plate portions
and level-changing portions formed alternately therein with the
angle formed between the flat plate portion and the level-changing
portion being in a specific range, and then stacking
the catalyst elements in a frame. A catalyst structure is also
obtained by stacking a large number of the catalyst elements
described above through metallic, ceramic, or glass netlike
members interposed therebetween and each having a large number
of perforated holes. The catalyst structure has such advantages
that dust is hardly deposited between the catalyst elements,
that a sufficiently high strength can be obtained even when the
thickness of catalyst elements is reduced, and that the catalyst
structure can be placed in an exhaust gas flue to use as an
exhaust gas treating apparatus. When the exhaust gas treating
apparatus is employed, an efficient exhaust gas treatment can be
effected without damaging the catalyst elements while repressing
the pressure loss.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the period of beer foam
stability of sample of equal foam layer thicknesses
comprising the steps of obtaining a sample by pouring a
fixed amount of prescribed beer into a standard glass
from a pouring height calculated to approximate a
standard preset thickness, measuring the foam layer
thickness and the period of foam stability of the sample,
comparing the measured values with the standard foam
layer thickness value, adjusting the beer pouring height
to approximate the standard foam thickness more closely,
pouring the fixed amount of the prescribed beer into a
standard glass to obtain another sample, and measuring
and storing the foam thickness value and period of foam
stability of the sample, and reading the period of foam
stability value corresponding to the standard foam layer
thickness from a graph obtained by plotting the foam
layer thickness data against the period of foam stability
data for a plurality of samples obtained by repeating the
above steps a number of times.

Abstract: An image display device has a plurality of electrodes that control a
beam between a group of linear cathodes (2) and a screen (8) with a phosphor
layer, and is provided with a circuit (31) for generating a beam track offset
signal, which generates a signal for slightly oscillating one of the beams
horizontally, a PIN photodiode (33) for detecting the emission amount of the
phosphor layer for this beam, a comparator (35) for generating a beam
irradiation position misalignment signal based on the detected emission
amount, an integrating circuit (36) for generating a beam position control
signal in correspondence with the beam irradiation position misalignment
signal; and a horizontal deflection electrode driving circuit (39) for driving a
horizontal deflection electrode (6) in accordance with the beam position
control signal. With this configuration, misalignments of the position of the
beam spot and the phosphor stripes on the screen, which are caused for
various reasons, can be suppressed, and an image display device is obtained,
in which a deterioration of the image quality, such as color misalignments,
does not occur.

Abstract: A cooled roller has coolant introduced from one side and distributed inside the roller to flow out of the other side. The coolant is fed into a central distribution duct with outlet holes to feed the separate segments inside the roller. The size of the outlet holes increases away from the input side of the roller to ensure an even cooling effect on the inside side of the coolant flow. The return flow spacing also increase in size away from the input side to even out the coolant effect. The central distribution duct can be replaced by a tapering duct.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for labelling peptides
and/or proteins in preparative and analytical electrophoresis,
especially as sample preparation for isoelectric
focussing, wherein side chains of specific amino acid
residues of the peptides and/or proteins are derivatized and
labelled. The purpose of the invention is to control the
isoelectric point of the peptides and/or proteins to permit
isoelectric focussing of the samples with reliable results.
In one embodiment of the invention cysteine residues of the
peptides and/or proteins are alkylated, such that the
modified amino acid side chain can be labelled, e.g.
iodinated, along with tyrosine during standard conditions for
tyrosine labelling. The invention permits unincorporated
label to be electrophoretically removed from the sample
during subsequent electrophoresis, thus dramatically
improving the ratio of specific protein-bound signal to
non-specific background signal upon isotopic detection.
