Abstract: The centrifugal liquid pump is of the rotary discs types and has an integrated gas injector of very single yet efficient structure. This pump has a casing defining an inner, substantially cylindrical chamber with an axial liquid inlet and a tangential liquid outlet. A rotary impeller is rotatably mounted within the chamber. This impeller has first and second spaced apart discs which are rigidly interconnected at such a distance away from each other as to extend close to the opposite walls of the chamber. The first disc that extends close to the wall into which the liquid inlet opens has a central opening of the same diameter as the liquid inlet to allow the liquid injected through the inlet to enter within the chamber in between the discs. The second disc has a plurality of spaced apart openings located at a constant radius, which is inferior to the radius of the discs. A coaxial power shaft is connected to the impeller so as to rotate it in a given direction. This shaft extends out of the chamber in a direction opposite to the liquid inlet. A gas feed pipe is in open communication with the chamber. This gas feed pipe is connected to a hole made in the casing. This hole is located in the second opposite wall of the chamber at a radial distance substantially equal to the above mentioned constant radius. In use, the pressurized gas fed through the hole made in second opposite wall of the casing passes through the openings made in the second disc and enters into the chamber. The gas is then disolved in the liquid while the same moves between the discs toward the outlet of the pump.

Abstract: A process for producing foreign proteins characterized by culturing foreign protein-producing hosts constructed by gene manipulation in media containing fatty acids or salts thereof and surfactants and harvesting the foreign proteins from the cultures. Thus the yields of the foreign proteins produced by the hosts can be elevated. Moreover, the degradation of the foreign proteins by enzymes originating in the hosts can be thus inhibited, which enables mass production of the foreign proteins.

Abstract: A burner system is described for burning granular pellets and similarly sized solid biomass heating fuel, e.g. wood pellets. It includes an air tight fire chamber having an exhaust outlet in an upper region thereof and a burner (10) in the bottom thereof for converting the solid fuel to fuel gases and ash in the presence of a limited air supply and combusting the gases formed. The burner comprises upright co-axial inner (12) and outer (11) cylindrical walls providing a confined central gasification/combustion chamber surrounded by an annular combustion air manifold (15). The annular combustion air manifold (15) is closed at the top and bottom with an air inlet (16) in the outer wall and a plurality of spaced aperatures (17) arranged in upward rows in the inner cylindrical wall providing air inlets from the combustion air manifold to the combustion zone of the chamber. A grate at the bottom of the gasification/combustion chamber holds the solid fuel while allowing ash to pass through the grate.

Abstract: Hinges (12) for orthopedic and rehabilitation braces allow intuitive, convenient and positive control and adjustment of the limits to which the braces (10) may extend or flex. Such hinges (12) also allow convenient locking of such braces (10). A flexion switch (24) and an extension switch (26) allow convenient repositioning of stops (56) or limits which limit flexion and extension of the brace (10). Such switches (24, 26) may be repositioned, however, only with repositioning pressure for moving the switch (24, 26) to a new position combined with safety pressure for unlocking the switch (24, 26). A brace locking switch may also be included. Such hinges (12) promote more effective post-operative and rehabilitation results because they, among other things, allow users easily to change the flexion, extension and fixation limitations of their braces (10) conveniently and in real time such as during post-operative and physical therapy sessions and workouts.

Abstract: A firearm training system includes a training firearm (40) which includes a laser transmitter module (22) that emits a laser signal along a longitudinal centerline of the barrel (10) of the firearm in response to a mechanical wave generated from pulling the trigger of the firearm. A laser-detecting target (42) includes a planar array of laser light detectors capable of detecting the exact location that the laser signal hits the target. The laser signal transmitted by the training firearm (40) is preferably a modulated laser pulse that the target (42) can easily discriminate from noise and interference. The target is connected to a computer (44) which reports laser hit information and keeps track of a sequence of laser hits fired by a competitor or trainee. Computer (44) can be linked via a communications network to similar firearm training systems to enable competition between shooters at different geographic locations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver and a receiving method, both for use in a broadcasting system in which analog broadcast signals and digital broadcast signals are transmitted in adjacent frequency bands. The receiver has an analog processing circuit for receiving and processing analog broadcast-wave signals to extract audio signals; a digital signal processing circuit for receiving and processing digital broadcast-wave signals to extract audio signals; a changeover circuit for selecting either the audio signals supplied from the analog processing circuit or the audio signals supplied from the digital signal processing circuit; a control circuit for controlling the application of an operating power-supply voltage to the digital processing circuit; and detecting means for detecting that a digital broadcast station has been selected. The control circuit applies the operating power-supply voltage to the digital processing circuit only when the detecting means detects that a digital broadcast station has been selected. Thus, it is possible to reduce the power consumption. <IMAGE>
