Filed: 1963-10-23
Abstract: The invention comprises crystalline 5(4)-amino -4(5) - imidazole - carboxamide riboside-51-phosphoric acid and its monohydrate.  It may be obtained by incubating 5(4)-amino-4(5)-imidazolecarboxamide riboside and an orthophosphate, if desired in the presence of a small amount of adenosine, with an actively fermenting yeast, e.g. brewer's yeast, at 25-40 DEG  C. at pH 5.0-8.0.  The acid which is obtained in crystalline form forms salts with inorganic and organic bases including basic amino acids. Specified salts are the disodium salt and the potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, ammonium, lysine, histindine and arginine salts. The crystalline acid and its non-toxic salts are useful for improving the flavour of foodstuffs (see Division A2).

Abstract: 1406712 Acoustic probes etc.; acoustic reflectors COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE 15 Sept 1972 [16 Sept 1971] 42945/72 Headings H4J and H4X The direction of a sound source, location of an obstacle in a vessel or the non-destructive testing of a surface is determined by a movable device 7 (Figs. 2, 3) carrying one or more acoustically reflective surfaces 2, 27. The movable device 7 is rotatably mounted about an axis X 1 , X 2 on a frame 6. A plane acoustic mirror 29 is also rotatably mounted about axis X 1 , X 2 on frame 6. A rotatable shaft 15 carries two gear-wheels 10a, 10b engaging toothed rims 11a, 11b, thus simultaneously rotating two shafts 30, 31 which are secured to mirror 29 and device 7. Shaft 30 secured to mirror 29 rotates at half the speed of shaft 31. The device 7 and frame 6 are rotatable about axis OZ by means of a motor (not shown) actuating a gear-wheel 16 engaging teeth 17 on an abutment 8. Member 6 can be moved backwards and forwards in a cylinder 18 by an actuator 19. As shown in Fig. 2 the surface 2 is a concave acoustically reflective surface in the form of an ellipsoid of revolution. The surface 27 is a convex surface in the form of a paraboloid of revolution. The surfaces 2, 27 have a coincident focus F. A transducer 28, e.g. piezoelectric, is used for transmitting and receiving and, when transmitting, a continuous beam (or s series of wave trains) after being reflected by mirror 29 travels to aperture 3 and is reflected by surfaces 27 and 2 to converge to a second focus of surface 2. After striking an obstacle the beam returns by the same path to transducer 28 which this time acts as a receiver. If desired, an acoustic plane mirror (32), Fig. 4 (not shown) is hinged to the open end of surface 2. The path of rays is the same as in Fig. 2, except that the rays are reflected to produce a beam which converges at a point displaced relative to the second focus of surface 2. The mirror (32) may be simultaneously rotated and translated to permit helical scanning from the second focus of surface 2. The inner wall of a conduit may thereby be scanned. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 6, not shown) surfaces 2, 27 are replaced by a plane acoustic mirror (34) parallel to pivot axis X 1 , X 2 and disposed perpendicular to the parallel beam reflected by mirror 29. If the mirror (34) is removed the reflection at a liquid sodium-metal interface may be studied. Yet another embodiment (Fig. 5, not shown) is made up of two coaxial concave acoustic mirrors (35, 36) in the form of parabolas inverted with respect to one another. If the device is immersed in liquid the flat mirror 29 should have an acoustic impedance as different as possible from that of the surrounding liquid.

[Also in Division H4] In a TDM radio system a synchronizing pulse and each channel pulse is repeated before the next pulse in the channel cycle is transmitted in order to overcome interference. In the system described, a reference pulse from generator 1 is used directly to produce a group of three pulses constituting a synchronizing signal, and after being delayed is used to produce two further groups of three pulses, constituting the channel signals. The reference pulse on b2, after passing through combiner 19 and shaping circuits 20, 21 is applied to an output pulse combiner 24. The reference pulse is also applied to a topped delay line L1 the topping of which is connected to combiner 24 and the end of which is connected to a further topped delay line L2. Switches C1, C2 are preset so that a predetermined spacing of the three pulses in a group is obtained. The reference pulse from generator 1 is further applied to key a 10 kc./s. oscillator 3 on for three cycles, these being converted to square pulses which charge capacitors in counting circuits 6, 8 each of which has an associated threshold device which is triggered at a respective preset time following the generation of a reference pulse. The pulses resulting from the triggers at d3,b3 activate modulators 12, 16 supplied with respective channel signals. The outputs of modulators 12, 16 after passing through combiner 19 produce respective groups of pulses as described for the synchronizing signal. Specification 945,685 is referred to.
