Abstract: Procedure for determining register recall filtering times in a telecommunication system in conjunction with a V5 interface in different national mappings. The telecommunication system comprises a local exchange (LE); an access node (AN), which is provided with means responsible for the register recall function; a V5 interface (V5) connecting the access node to the local exchange; a number of subscriber-line interface plug-in units (PIU) disposed in the local exchange (LE) and/or in the access node (AN) and comprising storage means in which the setting parameters associated with the register recall filtering time are set; and a number of analogue subscribers (Z), whose subscriber lines are connected via subscriber-line interface plug-in units (PIU) to the access node (AN) and/or directly to the local exchange (LE), and in which system a blackout of predetermined duration is generated in the subscriber line to allow register recall, the duration of said blackout corresponding to the value defined by the national subscriber-line interface mapping. In the procedure, the setting mode regarding the register recall filtering time is defined in the access node (AN) by means of an access node specific parameter; and, based on this parameter, a setting message defining setting times for the register recall filtering times is sent to the subscriber-line interface plug-in unit (PIU).

Abstract: An enhancement to the use of a tbox function for CMEA encryption. Offsets are generated for application of the tbox function to a message, using secret values and previously encrypted message octets. The offsets are used to permute the message for application of the tbox function. For the first message of a call, the previously encrypted message octets are replaced by an initialization value. In a system employing a single iteration of CMEA encryption, first and second offsets are generated. In a system employing two iterations of CMEA encryption, first, second, third and fourth offsets are generated, with the first and second offsets being used in the first iteration of CMEA encryption and the third and fourth offsets being used in the second iteration of CMEA encryption.

Abstract: In a process to incinerate particulate biological matter esp. dried sewage sludge of low calorific value, the dried sludge is introduced into the incineration chamber with air in a ratio which is less than stoichiometric. The flow of fresh air is adapted to the incineration capacity. Incineration is first initiated and then continued at 850 degrees C under conditions of oxygen deficiency. The ratio of oxygen supplied is subsequently increased, resulting in combustion under conditions of oxygen surplus. An Independent claim is included for a cyclone furnace (1) with an incoming pipe (12) delivering air for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: Analog TV systems use the lines of the VBI for the
transmission of data for special applications and services
like Teletext, WSS or EPG. For digitally recording of
analog TV signals the MPEG2 video encoding can be used,
e.g. by the so-called DVD-VR which shall replace the VCRs
used nowadays. However, the proposals for DVD-VRs up to
now do neither show any possibility nor the recognition of
the need to store also VBI data with a DVD-VR inside the
MPEG video bitstream. According to the invention the VBI
data are stored inside the user_data (a) of the MPEG
bitstream. This allows to reproduce the VBI data during
playback, which is e.g. useful for subtitles.

Abstract: A switch lockout mechanism for a power tool includes a handle
housing for gripping by a power tool operator. The handle housing is generally
elongated in a direction corresponding to the gripping axis of a power tool operator.
A switch is attached to the housing and is actuatable between an "on" position and an
"off" position. A locking member is rotatably or pivotally attached to the housing.
The locking member is rotatable about an axis that generally extends in the same
direction as the handle housing in an elongated direction. The locking member has a
first rotatable position wherein the switch is locked in its "off" position, and a second
rotatable position wherein the switch is actuated to its "on" position. An actuating
member allows a tool operator to move the locking member between its first and
second positions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes et compositions destinées à induire une différenciation et une apoptose dans des cellules surexprimant des protéines de Notch. Une fonction de détermination du sort d'une cellule est spécifiquement interrompue au moment où la cellule subit une différenciation, ce qui provoque l'apoptose de la cellule. L'invention concerne des thérapies de tumeurs surexprimant une protéine de Notch (telles que Notch-1) par induction d'une différenciation des cellules dans la tumeur grâce à un agent d'induction de différenciation tel que HMBA, en combinaison avec un agent interrompant la fonction de la protéine de Notch. Lorsque la différenciation a été lancée et que la cellule est susceptible de perturber l'effet anti-apoptose de Notch, la fonction de la protéine de Notch est interrompue. L'interruption de la fonction de Notch peut être réalisée, par exemple, par un agent induisant une différenciation, tel que HMBA, combiné à des anticorps se liant spécifiquement à Notch et l'inactivant, par exemple un anticorps monoclonal qui reconnaît les séquences répétées 11 et 12 de type EGF de Notch-1, telles que les anticorps monoclonaux A6, C11 ou F3. L'interruption de la fonction de Notch peut également être réalisée, par exemple, par l'expression d'oligonucléotides antisens perturbant spécifiquement l'expression de la protéine de Notch sur la cellule, seuls ou en combinaison avec des agents antinéoplasiques.

Title: Heat-reactivatable adsorbent gas fractionator and process.
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 1980-05-23
Abstract: A process and appartus are provided for removing a first gas from a mixture thereof with a second gas. The gas mixture is passed through a sorbent bed having a preferential affinity for the first gas and comprising a microwave absorbent capable of absorbing microwave energy and the first gas is sorbed on the sorbent so as to produce a gaseous effluent which has a concentration of first gas therein below a predetermined maximum. Then the first gas sorbed on the sorbent bed is removed therefrom by application of microwave energy, at a temperature at which the microwve absorbent absorbs such energy and activates the first gas sufficiently to desorb the first gas, while passing a purge flow of gas in contact with the bed to flush out desorbed first gas from the bed. The bed is allowed to cool to a relatively efficient temperature for adsorption. The gas mixture is then again passed in contact with the bed. If two beds are used, one bed can be desorbed while the other is on-stream, thereby maintaining a substantially continuous flow of effluent gas. The apparatus of the invention provides a sorbent bed assembly having a microwave energy generator positioned to direct such energy into a sorbent bed comprising a microwave absorbent capable of absorbing microwave energy for desorption of first gas from the sorbent bed.
