Granted: 2009-10-20
Abstract: An apparatus for forming an item group in a container, includes a first conveyor carrying the items; a second conveyor; and a plurality of container carriers mounted on the second conveyor. Each container carrier has a support for holding and positioning a container such that a container bottom and a container side wall are oriented obliquely to the advancing direction of the second conveyor. A pickup device lifts an item from the first conveyor, transports it to the second conveyor and deposits it into a container positioned by a container carrier. A control device controls the motions of the pickup device to selectively deposit items in a flat-lying orientation on the container bottom or on the container side wall. After uprighting the containers subsequent to their charging with items, each item is either in a flat-lying orientation or is an edge-wise standing orientation with respect to the container bottom.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de détection de fuite de liquide à travers une membrane dans un système de régulation de débit de fluide. Le système de régulation de débit de fluide présente une première chambre et une seconde chambre. Une membrane est placée entre ces deux chambres. La seconde chambre présente une connexion à un réservoir sous pression, ce réservoir contenant un fluide sous pression, la connexion définissant un passage de fluide. Le procédé consiste d'abord à bloquer le passage de fluide. La pression du fluide dans le réservoir de fluide est ensuite ajustée. On mesure le taux de changement de pression dans le réservoir sous pression. Un taux de pression à l'état bloqué est calculé. Le passage de fluide est alors débloqué. Le taux de changement de pression dans le réservoir sous pression est mesuré. On calcule un taux de pression à l'état débloqué. Enfin, un débit de fuite est calculé sur la base des taux de pression à l'état bloqué et à l'état débloqué.

Abstract: Des fonctions (80) de gestion de réseaux multiples comprises dans un contrôleur (30) sont reliées à des groupes de redondance multiples (40) par un réseau de zones de stockage (SAN) tel qu'un SAN (50) à canaux en fibre. Les fonctions de gestion de réseau multiple partagent une responsabilité de gestion des groupes de redondance, dont chacun comprend typiquement des ressources multiples s'étendant dans une multiplicité de disques (45). Les fonctions de gestion de réseau permettent un accès simultané aux groupes de redondance à des systèmes hôtes associés. Lorsqu'un hôte demande à une fonction de gestion de réseau d'exécuter une opération sur une ressource, la fonction de gestion de réseau se synchronise avec les autres fonctions de gestion de réseau partageant la commande du groupe de redondance contenant la ressource sur laquelle on veut intervenir, afin d'obtenir un verrouillage sur la ressource. Tandis que l'opération est exécutée, la fonction de gestion de réseau envoie des données de réplication et des informations d'état associées à la ressource, de manière que si ladite fonction de gestion échoue, n'importe laquelle des autres fonctions de gestion est capable de mener à bien l'opération et de maintenir une fiabilité et une cohérence des données.

Title: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome vaccine, based on isolate ja-142
Inventor: BURKHART KELLY
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2000-04-21
Granted: 2009-02-24
Abstract: Substantially avirulent forms of atypical porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and corresponding vaccines are provided which result from cell culture passaging of virulent forms of PRRS.  The resultant avirulent atypical PRRS virus is useful as a vaccine in that PRRS specific antibody response is elicited by inoculation of host animals, thereby conferring effective immunity against both previously known strains of PRRS virus and newly isolated atypical PRRS  virus strains. The preferred passaging technique ensures that the virus remains in a logarithmic growth phase substantially throughout the process, which minimizes the time required to achieve attenuation.

Abstract: A Hall sensor array for offset-compensated magnetic field measurement comprises a first (1A, 1B) and at least one addi-tional pair (2A, 2B; 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) of Hall sensor elements.  Each Hall sensor element (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B; 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) has four terminals (K1, K2, K3, K4), of which a first and a third terminal (K1, K3) act as power supply terminals for supplying an operating current (I operation) and a second and a fourth terminal (K2, K4) act as measurement terminals for measuring a Hall voltage (U Hall). The Hall sensor elements (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B; 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) are so arranged that the current directions of the operating current (I operation) in the two Hall sensor elements of each pair are offset at an angle of approximately 90° to one another. The Hall sensor elements (2A, 2B; 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) of the additional pair(s) are so arranged that their operating current directions are offset at an angle of approximately 90°/n to the operating current directions of the first pair (1A, 1B) of Hall sensor elements, n being the total number of Hall sensor element pairs and n >= 2. The first terminals (K1), the third termi-nals (K3), the second terminals (K2) and the fourth terminals (K4) of the Hall sensor elements (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B; 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) are respectively connected to each other electri-cally. The operating current (I operation) can thus be supplied over the first and third terminals (K1, K3) of all the Hall sensor elements and the Hall voltage (U Hall) can be measured over the second and fourth terminals (K2, K4) of all the Hall sensor elements (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B; 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B).
