Abstract: The liquefaction of a fluid formed partially by a mixture of hydrocarbon consists of two steps: (a) The mixture is condensed partially under reduced pressure to produce a liquid and a gas phase. Simultaneously, a fraction of at least of one of the phases is at least brought into contact by countercurrent to obtain by matter transfer a gas phase rich in low molecular weight by hydrocarbon and first phase rich in high molecular weight hydrocarbon (b) The resulting phases are separated and the gas phase rich in low molecular weight hydrocarbon is sent to second step of refrigeration to obtain a second liquid phase rich in low molecular weight hydrocarbon. Also claimed is apparatus for running the above process.

Abstract: The tool (1) has side plates (2,3) with parallel inner faces which act as a handle. One or more implements (3-7) are able to pivot or slide in a plane parallel to the inner surfaces of the side plates. At least one of the side plates has a hole (10) in it to receive bits (20) which can be inserted into it. The hole is shaped so that the bit turns when the handle is rotated. The hole is positioned so that it does not impede the operation of any other implements. It can be equipped with a reversible ratchet mechanism between the two plates. A detachable adapter (23) can also be fitted to another of the implements (7) to receive bits.

Abstract: The support rail profile for the vehicle seat is formed from flat metal strip (1) which first has the edges rolled up into lips (4) by shaped rollers. The tops of the lips are then shaped into gear racks by a profiled roller (8). Any lateral spreading of the lip thickness is rolled to its original thickness prior to rolling into the completed C-shape. For a high quality toothed profile the tooth profile is re-applied after the third rolling process, to restore the lip thickness. The pairs of rollers are synchronised for optimum rolling quality.

Abstract: Electrochemiluminescent enzymes, their preparation and use as biosensors are disclosed. Specifically, two appendages are covalently attached to a desired dehydrogenase enzyme; (1) a nicotinamide adenine cofactor or analog thereof, and (2) a luminescent ruthenium complex. For example, glucose concentrations is the following way. A doubly-modified glucose dehydrogenase could oxidize glucose with concomitant reduction of the attached NAD<+> to NADH. Because NADH, but not NAD<+>, is able to interact with surface ruthenium to promote ECL, only enzyme molecules that have reacted with glucose will emit light from their ruthenium label in an ECL instrument. The relative close proximity of NADH and ruthenium on the enzyme surface enhances light emission as compared to the same concentrations in free solution. When NADH reduces ruthenium, it returns to become NAD<+>, permitting multiple cycles of ECL light emission from a single enzyme molecule. Such biosensors can be used in solution or bound to a solid surface. Assays employing the biosensor molecules can be performed on an IGEN Origen<R >Analyzer.

Abstract: The purpose is of avoiding the sliding frictions also in that case in which both elements (2, 3) in which the annular tracks (5, 6) for ball (4) rolling are provided get positioned with their symmetry axes (10, 11) being mutually incident. Due to this reason, the traditional pivot and the corresponding female hollow cooperating with it have been eliminated. The side portions (8) of the annular tracks (5, 6) have now a development characterized as follows:   it is extended enough in order to retain the rolling bodies (4) inside the hinge (1-1G) during their rolling along the annular tracks (5, 6); and is limited enough in order to generate between the first element (2) and the second element (3) in the region of the rolling bodies (4), an annular gap (9) which is wide enough in order to prevent any contacts between the first element (2) and the second element (3) also in the case when their respective symmetry axes (10, 11) are mutually incident.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a signal processing method for estimating luminance, for use with matrix patterned image sensors where elected sensor pixels (G), preferably green pixels, from which luminance-representative signals are taken, only occupy alternate horizontal and vertical positions in the matrix pattern. The method is designed for detecting luminance contour edges and/or stripes in an image so as to enable images obtained from the sensor to be enhanced. According to the method, each pixel site (Hc) which is at the centre of both a row and a column of five pixels and which is not the site of an elected (green) pixel is identified and for each such identified site (Hc) the signals output from the immediately adjacent four pixels (Gn, Ge, Gs, Gw) in said row and column are processed to establish both signal amplitude and pixel position. A luminance value for the pixel at the identified site (Hc) is evaluated from the amplitude values (G2, G3) of the median pair of said signal amplitudes in accordance with an algorithm where decision taking is based upon the location of the pixels from which the two signals (G1, G2) of highest amplitude emanate. The algorithm is such that when the two signals (G1, G2) of highest amplitude emanate from pixels in the same row or column a further signal processing step is undertaken to identify, in said row and column, the signal outputs from the two respective next adjacent pixels (H1, H4) to the pixels having the highest and lowest signal amplitudes (G1, G4), and the signal output from the pixel at the identified site (Hc), to enable an amplitude comparison to be made according to the result of which one of the said median pair (G2, G3) is selected. Signal processing methods for use with colour, monochrome and mixed colour/monochrome image sensors are claimed, as well as a single-chip camera, and also a video camera system, in which the claimed signal processing methods are implemented.

Abstract: In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, a method and apparatus are disclosed for detecting obstructive apnea and optimizing the controlled positive pressure to minimize the flow of air from a flow generator while still ensuring that flow limitation in the patient's airway does not occur. In particular, the invention relates to a breathing device and method of use to adjust a controlled positive pressure to the airway of a patient by detecting flow limitation from analysis of an inspiratory flow waveform. Once the presence of flow limitation has been analyzed, the system determines an action to take for adjustment of the controlled positive pressure. The pressure setting is raised, lowered or maintained depending on whether flow limitation has been detected and on the previous actions taken by the system. The preferred breathing apparatus consists of a flow generator, a flow sensor, an analog to digital converter, a microprocessor, and a pressure controller, a patient supply hose, a nasal fitting, and, optionally, a pressure transducer. Using the method of the present invention, the microprocessor adjusts the air pressure in the patient supply hose when flow limitation is detected in the airway of the patient.
