Patent NO-953015-D0 (NO)
Inventor: MACLAREN DAVID S
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1995-07-31
Abstract: A wastewater treatment plant for removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants comprising a pre-treatment chamber, a biofilm-aeration chamber and a settling chamber. Biofilm grows on biofilm support structure which is stationary and submerged in the mixed liquor of the biofilm aeration chamber. The combination of submerged or surface aeration and suspended solids particle size reduction occurs thereby creating a sufficient fluid flow within the biofilm aeration chamber. This combination of sufficient fluid flow, and reduced size suspended organic particles results in the efficient digestion of organic matter and pollutants by the biofilm growing on the biofilm support structure submerged in the biofilm aeration chamber. This results in a vastly more effective digestive process than conventional processes producing no sludge. Further, resulting treated effluent has a high dissolved oxygen content and low BOD and SS. The apparatus and process has the following advantages: low MLSS concentration, short biofilm incubation time, no clogging of the system, good response to shock loading, high DO in the effluent, consistent effluent quality, sludge is eliminated, wastewater treatment duration is shortened, the process is not temperature sensitive, plant design is greatly simplified, plants of the present invention are small by comparison to conventional plants, the present invention can be a significant step in the treatment of drinking water, energy consumption during treatment is low, the present invention is very cost effective, the process permits other purification processes to be used and the process is volumetrically and BOD insensitive.

Abstract: A vertical shaft (13) is connected at its upper end to the stern of a ship. A rudder plate (23) is secured to the shaft (13), for controlling the course of the ship. A pod (15) is mounted on the intermediate pate of the shaft (13). The pod (15) contains a drive device, which drives a propeller shaft. The propeller (21) connected to the propeller shaft is thereby rotated, generating a force propelling the ship. To alter the course of the ship, the shaft (13) is rotated, thereby rotating the pod (15) and the rudder plate (23). As the rudder plate (23) is thus rotated, a lift is obtained at the plate (23). The lift and the lateral component of the propelling force are combined, applying a lateral force to the hull. <IMAGE>

Title: Isolation of fermentation products
IPC: C12C11/00
Filed: 1985-04-22
Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of ethanol and a protein or peptide which is heterologous to yeast which comprises fermenting an aqueous carbohydrate-containing medium with an industrial yeast strain which has been genetically modified to be capable of expressing a heterologous protein or peptide, under conditions such that the yeast multiplies but no expression of the said heterologous protein or peptide takes place, recovering the ethanol so-formed, inducing expression of the said protein or peptide by the yeast, and obtaining the said heterologous protein or peptide therefrom. The process may be applied to the industrial production of alcoholic beverages such as beer or distilled alcohol. The yeast inevitably obtained as a by-product in the process has improved value because it provides a source of the heterologous protein or peptide. Heterologous protein and peptides which may be produced by the new process include enzymes such as beta-lactamase, beta-glucanase and beta-galactosidase and proteins of therapeutic value such as human serum albumin.

Title: Medical infusion apparatus
IPC: A61M5/14
Filed: 1987-05-01
Abstract: Medical infusion apparatus (2) comprises a housing (4) in which a standard flexible liquid reservoir (10) is disposed. A constant-force spring applies pressure to the reservoir to force liquid out of the reservoir (10) and along a conduit to a patient. The spring (40) is energised by the opening of a lid (8) of the housing (4) which permits replacement of the reservoir (10). The liquid flowing out of the reservoir (10) passes through a moulded conduit part (12) which is configured so that it is positioned at a predetermined location with respect to a flow monitor. The flow monitor injects a pulse of heat (53), and detects the rate at which the heat pulse travels along the conduit. A microprocessor (66) uses the sensed flow rate to control a stepper motor (84) which regulates fluid flow by squeezing the conduit (56) via a spring-biased member (96). The apparatus has active and standby modes in which the monitor (74) is operated respectively more and less frequently.

Abstract: A separator comprises a vessel having an outer wall (2) and an end wall (3). A body (14) adjacent the end wall (3) defines with the end wall (3) an annular opening (15). In use, a mixture of, for example water and solid material is introduced into the vessel through a first inlet (4). A circulating motion takes place in the vessel and the solid material falls to the end wall (3) and is removed through the opening (15) to an outlet (6) while clean water flows from the top of the vessel through an outlet (8). In order to increase the energy in the lower region of the vessel so as to assist removal of the solid material, water from the outlet (8) is passed through a pump (P) and reintroduced as energising fluid to the vessel through a recirculating port (44). Energising fluid may be taken from sources other than the outlet (8). Various alternative forms of separator are disclosed.

Title: Speech coding system and a method of encoding speech
IPC: G10L19/12
Filed: 1989-08-16
Abstract: A speech coding system of the code excited linear prediction (CELP) type comprises means (24,26) for filtering digitised speech samples to form perceptually weighted speech samples. Entries in a one-dimensional codebook (110) comprising frame length sequences are filtered in a perceptually weighted synthesis filter (28) to form a one-dimensional filtered codebook (38). The filtered codebook entries are compared with the perceptually weighted speech signals to obtain a codebook index which gives the minimum perceptually weighted error when the speech is resynthesised. Using a one-dimensional codebook (110) reduces the amount of computation which is required compared to using a two-dimensional codebook.
