Title: Cutoff method and device for cracks in concrete structures

Abstract: CUTOFF METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CRACKS IN               CONCRETE STRUCTURES     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      A cutoff method for cracks in concrete structures, which comprises attaching many connected together cutoff agent-sealing members having a predetermined open area and volume necessary for covering a crack from the outside to the surface of a concrete structure along the crack line, introducing a cutoff agent composed of a blowing resin under pressure into the cutoff agent-sealing membranes, filling the cutoff agent, introduced under pressure, in the cutoff agent-sealing members to elevate the pressure within the cutoff agent-sealing members, and by the elevated pressure causing the cutoff agent to intrude deeply into the interior of the crack, whereby an inundation and leakage of water from the crack can be prevented.  According to this method, since an inundation and leakage of water from a crack in a concrete structure can be prevented by fixing the cutoff agent-sealing member and casting the cutoff agent, the operation time can be drastically shortened. Furthermore, since the cutoff agent is caused to deeply intrude not only into a main crack but also into peripheral and branched cracks, a complete cutoff effect can be attained.  Moreover, even if the main crack line is bent or curved, since the cutoff agent is cast in the planar form, a cutoff effect can be easily attained.

A topological nework is stored in a memory by means of a set of 0-cells, 1-cells and 2-cells. For each 1-cell there are stored an associated first 0-cell and second 0-cell and also a thread pointer assigned to said 0-cells. A thread pointer indicates the next-following 1-cell obtained by rotating the 1-cell in question in a predetermined direction of rotation around the 0-cell in question. For finding a 2-cell, use is made of a first 1-cell and the thread pointer associated with one of its 0-cells is followed after which, starting from the newly found 1-cell, each time the thread pointer of the opposite 0-cell is used until the first 1-cell is found again.

Title: Method and apparatus for treating fiber suspension
Inventor: LJOKKOI RISTO

Filed: 1988-10-12
Granted: 1993-05-25
Abstract: ABSTRACT     The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating fiber suspension, for example,  sorting or grading. The method and apparatus in accordance with the invention is especially suitable for the treatment of fiber suspensions in the pulp and paper industry.             The most serious defect in the known apparatuses is that the relative amount of the reject,  in other words the material which is unqualified for the finished product, adjacent to the screen surface rises directly in proportion to the distance from the initial or front end of the screen surface since acceptable fraction is discharged through the screen surface, but the reject is discharged only after it has traversed the whole length of the screen surface.             In the arrangement in accordance with the present invention the treatment space for the suspension is divided into several zones (21, 22, 23), from each of which the reject accumulated in them is discharged to its own treatment zone  (24). New unsorted suspension is also fed in said zones so that,  for example, in a screen apparatus of a conventional size there may be three separate zones treating unsorted pulp and one zone treating reject.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method using synthetic peptides as solid phase immunoadsorbents for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) gp120, and, in particular, antibodies having HIV neutralizing capabilities.      The amino acid sequences of the peptides correspond to segments of the external envelope protein gp120 of HIV. These peptides have been found to be highly immunogenic, and are reactive with antibodies in sera of patients with AIDS, ARC or HIV infected individuals. They can also be used to elicit the production of neutralizing antibodies to HIV. More specifically, the present invention is directed to the use of a synthetic peptide selected from the groups consisting of peptides containing twenty-eight and thirty-three amino acids in a prescribed sequence, their analogues and mixtures, corresponding to the HIV-gp120 external protein for the detection of antibodies to HIV-gp120. It is particularly useful for the detection of antibodies having HIV neutralizing capabilities. The detection method includes an enzyme linked immunoassay and other forms of immunoassay procedures. The present invention also relates to a method for generating high titer antibodies to HIV gp120 protein in healthy mammals, including humans, by the use of the synthetic peptides, their analogues or mixtures in either a conjugated or a polymeric form as a key component in a synthetic vaccine for the prevention of AIDS.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining with only sixty-four distance comparisons the distances between a received eight-dimensional vector comprised of four two-dimensional coordinates and each of sixteen non-overlapping subconstellations.  In order to limit the comparisons, each subconstellation is represented by a collection of sixteen representational four-coordinate vectors, with each collection having four groups of vectors of the form (a,     b, c,      d  ) (a+2,   b+2,    c,      d  ) (a,     b,      c+2,    d+2) (a+2,   b+2,    c+2,    d+2) where each letter represents in a different plane one of a set of points T(O) and its ninety, one hundred and eighty, and two hundred and seventy degree rotations, and +2 represents a one hundred and eighty degree rotation. Knowing the distance between each coordinate of the received vector and each set of points, if the received vector is broken into two two-coordinate vectors, eight comparisons may be made to find the eight shortest combinations of the two-coordinate representative vectors for the first two planes, and eight additional comparisons for the second two planes.  By combining the two groups of two-coordinate shorter vectors, sixty-four combinations are found for the sixteen collections of four-coordinate representational vectors; four for each collection.  Three comparisons for each group may then be made for each subconsteliation to find the representational vector representing the four-coordinate (eight-dimensional) point closest to the received vector.
