Abstract: The arrangement includes a projection light source (1) and projection optics (3), whereby the radiation path between them is divided by color-selective beam splitters (4,5) into three spatially separated color channels (R, B, G), and these three color channels are combined again before the projection optics by device of beam combination mirrors (6,7). A light modulator (11,21,31) consisting from a polarizing beam splitter arrangement (12, 22, 32), a light valve (13, 23, 33), and a CRT (14,24,34) is arranged in each of the three color channels. A pre-polarizer (15,25) is connected in series to the light modulator in one of the three color channels. A control circuit (16) for the respective CRTs is provided in the three color channels, which controls a video signal supplied to the respective CRT, and modulates the projection light through the light valves, according to a video image. The pre-polarizer includes a number of alternately side by side arranged, first and second stripes (151,152) of a dielectric polarization layer, which are oriented the same way. The first stripes (151) are arranged symmetrically to the second stripes (152) to form a roof-like, ribbed structure.

Abstract: A process for producing d-biotin comprises cultivating a microorganism of the genus Kurthia and which is resistant to biotin antimetabolites and capable of producing d-biotin in a medium under aerobic conditions, and separating the resulting d-biotin from the fermentation broth. The cultivation medium suitably contains an assimilable carbon source, a digestible nitrogen source, inorganic salts and other nutrients necessary for the growth of the microorganism at a pH of about 5-9, temperature of about 10-40°C and for a duration of about 1-10 days. The preferred microorganism are Kurthia sp. 538-KA26, 538-17H4, 538-51F9 and 538-2A 13 (DSM No. 10609, 10608, 10610 and 10607, respectively), which are also new, and as such represent a further aspect of the present invention. The so-produced d-biotin is one of the essential vitamins for the nutrition of animals, plants and microorganisms, and is important as a medicine or food additive. It is produced in particularly high yield by the process of the present invention.

Abstract: A gerotor motor (11) of the type having a spool valve (51) which is formed integrally with the output shaft (49), wherein the spool valve includes forward (67) and rearward (69) journal surfaces. Disposed radially between the output shaft (49) and a bearing-receiving portion (71) of the motor housing (13) is a ball bearing set (73), which is preloaded during assembly such that the rated side load on the output shaft (49) will not cause any substantial radial movement of the shaft within the bearing set (73).

Abstract: The method involve controlling the aircraft in response to a signal from a detector which has determined the presence of vertical wind streams. The control delays disconnection of the automatic pilot and transfer of control to manual flight control. The delay time is set to be approximately equal to the usual time interval between upward and downward vertical wind streams. It is only if the interval exceeds the normal delay period of about 3 seconds that automatic pilot is disconnected. If the aircraft is under manual control, the signals sent to the control surfaces are those determined by the automatic pilot, which responds more slowly and avoids unnecessary corrections to the height of the aircraft.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for the electronic management and redemption of coupons. The system includes an integrated coupon card comprising a microprocessor, a random access memory, a scanner, and a communications port. The coupon card is capable of scanning coupon bar codes from paper coupons and receiving redemption requirement data from a periphery device. The coupon card will allow bar codes and redemption requirement data to be transferred to a periphery device and will store what bar codes were redeemed because they corresponded to purchase data received from a cash register memory. The system further includes one or more periphery devices having a microprocessor, a first communications port for communicating with said coupon card, and a second communications port for communicating with a cash register. The periphery devices receive purchase data from a cash register memory and compare purchase data to coupon bar codes received from a coupon card in order to determine which coupons are redeemable. The system also includes a server computer which will be connected to the periphery devices. The server computer will collect redeemed coupon information from the periphery devices and also provide the periphery devices with information such redemption requirement data or coupons which may be loaded onto a coupon card. A clearing house will collect coupon redemption information from all servers in the system to create redemption reports. The clearing house allows redemption requirement data and other information to be transferred through the servers to individual periphery devices and/or coupon cards.

Abstract: A purified thermostable enzyme is derived from the archael bacterium Thermococcus GU5L5. The enzyme has a molecular weight of about 68.5 kilodaltons and has cellulase activity. The enzyme can be produced from native or recombinant host cells and can be used for the removal of arginine, phenylalanine, or methionine amino acids from the N-terminal end of peptides in peptide or peptidomimetic synthesis. The enzyme is selective for the L, or 'natural' enantiomer of the amino acid derivatives and is therefore useful for the production of optically active compounds. These reactions can be performed in the presence of the chemically more reactive ester functionality, a step which is very difficult to achieve with nonenzymatic methods.

Abstract: A method for clamping a wafer to an electrostatic chuck having a substantially resistive dielectric layer disposed thereon. The method includes the step of providing a build-up voltage having a first polarity to a pole of the electrostatic chuck to cause a potential difference to build up between a first region of the substantially resistive dielectric layer and a second region of the wafer that overlies at least a portion of the first region. This potential difference gives rise to a clamping force to clamp the wafer to the electrostatic chuck. The method further includes the step of terminating the build-up voltage when the clamping force substantially reaches a predefined level. There is further included the step of providing a holding voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially maintain the clamping force at the predefined level. This holding voltage has the first polarity and a magnitude that is lower than a magnitude of the build-up voltage. There is further included the step of providing a declamping voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially remove the clamping force, the declamping voltage having a polarity that is opposite to the first polarity.
