Abstract: A mixing drum has a central rotating shaft (11) with a mixer tool (10) with mixer blades (17, 18) extend. The T-shaped blade has a root (F1 17) extending radially from the shaft (11) towards the drum wall. The T-shaped blade crosspiece (F2 18) sweeps around the drum in close proximity to the drum wall. The blade (F1 17, F2 18) has a cross-sectional profile Fp1 and Fp2. The novelty is that: (a) the blade cross-section is determined by using a cross-section of a penetrating body in the X-Z plane, which in turn is generated by moving the mixer blade surfaces (F1 17, F2 18) through the material which is processed; (b) the mixer blades surfaces (F1, F2) span limited areas determined by factors c1 and c2 with respect to the drum radius, and generated a flow which is the same as but in exact opposition to that generated by the mixer blade surface (F1 17, F2 18); and (c) the mixer blade surfaces (F1 17, F2 18) operate at angles of no more than alpha ( alpha ) and beta ( beta ).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically identifying a program broadcast by a radio station or by a television channel, or recorded on a medium, by adding an inaudible encoded message to the sound signal of the program, the message identifying the broadcasting channel or station, the program, and/or the exact date. In one embodiment the sound signal is transmitted via an analog-to-digital converter to a data processor enabling frequency components to be split up, enabling the energy in some of the frequency components to be altered in a predetermined manner to form an encoded identification message, and with the output from the data processor being connected via a digital-to-analog converter to an audio output for broadcasting or recording the sound signal. In another embodiment, an analog bandpass filter is employed to separate a band of frequencies from the sound signal so that energy in the separated band may be thus altered to encode the sound signal. The invention is particularly applicable to measuring the audiences of programs that are broadcast by radio or television, or that are recorded.

Abstract: Primer compositions for anti-cancer agent delivery to solid tumors in mammals, including man, are disclosed. The primer comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable agent which increases the intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the normal connective tissue cells within solid tumors. Such an agent may be selected from any agents which increase the intracellular levels of cAMP, e.g. agents binding to and stimulating receptors at the connective tissue cell surface within tumors, and agents inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterase. Local administration of the primer to the solid tumor area results in a lowering of the interstitial pressure. Further, an agent delivery system and a method for delivery of anti-cancer agents to solid tumors are described.

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. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward vector stage replication-defective flaviviruses that are replication-defective in mosquisto vectors that transmit them to human. Such mutant flaviviruses may be useful as vaccines. The replication-defective flaviviruses of the present invention demonstrate a limited ability to replicate in the vector organisms that transmit flaviviruses from one host to another. More specifically, the present invention is directed toward the construction and propagation of flaviviruses that possess 3'-noncoding regions altered in such a way as to prevent or severely limit viral reproduction in a vector organism. In one embodiment of the present invention, a replication-defective dengue virus that is replication-defective in arthropods is contemplated for use as a vaccine. In another embodiment, a replication-defective dengue virus that is replication-defective in mosquitos is contemplated for use as a vaccine. The present invention also contemplates methods of producing such mutant flaviviruses for use as vaccines as well as methods that induce a protective immunity against flavivirus infection or disease in an immunized subject.
