Abstract: Apparatus for determining levels of immiscible fluids in a vessel that includes a transmission line sensor that extends vertically within the vessel for contact with fluids within the vessel. A generator is coupled to the sensor for transmitting along the sensor a first electrical signal that continuously sweeps a predetermined frequency range. A voltage detector is coupled to the sensor for providing a second electrical signal that varies as a function of the amplitude of electrical energy reflected at the sensor from the various electrical impedance discontinuities along the sensor, including particularly interfaces between and within immiscible fluids surrounding the sensor. The frequency spectral characteristics of the second electrical signal are analyzed to determine the spatial distribution of electrical impedance along the sensor, from which the levels of immiscible fluids within the vessel are determined.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide dry cleaning system features a pair of liquid carbon dioxide storage tanks in communication with a compressor. A sealed cleaning chamber contains the objects being dry cleaned. By selectively pressurizing the storage tanks with the compressor, liquid carbon dioxide is made to flow to the cleaning chamber through cleaning nozzles so as to provide agitation of the objects being dry cleaned. Liquid carbon dioxide displaced from the cleaning chamber returns to the storage tanks. A still is disposed within one of the storage tanks and receives soiled liquid carbon dioxide as it is returned from the chamber. The pressure in the storage tank causes the soiled liquid carbon dioxide in the still to boil off. The gas is communicated to a third tank.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method that allows the use of filamentous bacteriophages to detect the presence of molecules of interest in biological samples. It consists of a series of combined operations, which are drawn up and defined according to the characteristics of the phages employed. These have, exposed on the surfaces of the capsid, at least one molecule, generally but not exclusively of proteic nature, capable of binding at least one molecule of interest present in the biological sample. Detection of the presence of the molecule takes place, according to the method of the invention, using the association between the molecule exposed on the surfaces of the phage and the genome of the phage itself. The ability to form specific complexes typical of the molecule exposed on the capsid enables formation of phage-molecule of interest complexes, which can be detected by means of amplification of known sequences in the phage DNA. The method according to the invention is extremely sensitive and can be used in particular for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating fixed biological tissue to inhibit calcification of the biological tissue following implantation thereof in a mammalian body. The apparatus includes a container for placing the biological tissue in contact with a treatment solution, structure to induce relative tissue/solution movement, and structure to heat the solution. The relative movement may be induced by shaking a container in which the tissue is immersed in the treatment solution, or by stirring the solution within the container. The movement may also be induced by flowing a treatment solution past the tissue to be treated. The tissue may be free to move in the treatment container, or may be restrained from gross movements. The flow may be part of a circulation system having a reservoir, with a heater being provided to heat the treatment solution in the reservoir. Alternatively, a treatment apparatus, including a fluid circulation system if desired, may be enclosed in an incubator. The tissue may be mounted in a planar configuration generally parallel to the direction of fluid flow. A flow column having a plurality of sections divided by perforated baffles may be used to treat multiple tissues at once.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for watermarking an audio or video signal. The signal is encoded by an encoder (6) which includes a feedback loop (64) to control the encoding process, such as a DPCM encoder or a (sigma-)delta modulator. The watermark (3) is embedded by modifying (2) selected samples of the encoded signal. Said modifying is carried out before the encoded signal is fed back so that quantization errors which are introduced by the embedded watermark will be eliminated by subsequent encoding operations. In addition, one or more samples preceding the selected samples are also modified in such a way that the error induced by the watermark is further reduced. This is achieved by "looking ahead" which (combination of) preceding sample modifications yields the best encoding quality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of enhancing fruit ripening and stability and of delaying senescence in fruit and other plant tissues. This method consists of applying an effective amount of a lysophospholipid, such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine (18:1) (hereinafter referred to as "LPE (18:1)") or lysophosphatidylinositol (hereinafter referred to as "LPI") to the fruit and other plant tissues. Lysophospholipids such as LPE (18:1) and LPI were found to be superior to other lysophospholipids in delaying senescence and in inhibiting phospholipase D, a key enzyme in mediating membrane deterioration during of plant senescence. LPE (18:1) and LPI are naturally occurring and environmentally safe. Their use could replace many environmentally toxic compounds that are currently being used to retard senescence of flowers, fruits and leaves and to enhance fruit ripening.
