Abstract: In order to produce a mixture of different serotypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface proteins in the form of particles, DNA encoding two or more HBV proteins were expressed by a single recombinant yeast host. These HBV proteins display the antigenic sites genetically encoded by the S domain (including the preS domain) of the HBV virion envelope open reading frame and when expressed in a yeast host deficient in its ability to glycosylate, contain substantially reduced levels of entrapped carbohydrate when compared with HBsAg particles produced in yeast cells which are "wild-type" for glycosylation. These particles are useful as a vaccine for both the active and passive treatment or prevention of disease and/or infection caused by HBV or other agents serologically related to HBV including antigenic variants in the immunodominant epitopes of the surface protein, and are also useful as antigens and immunogens for development of diagnostic tests for such diseases or infections.

Abstract: A universal electronic ballast system (10) is provided for actuating at least one gas discharge lamp (1900) having any one of a plurality of predetermined wattage ratings. Electronic ballast system (10) includes a filter circuit coupled to an AC power mains (100,110) for substantially suppressing spurious signals passing into or from the power source. The filter circuit is coupled to a regulated switching power supply circuit (14) which generates a regulated boost voltage and draws a substantially constant in phase sinusoidal load current from the power source supplied to a switching circuit (16) which generates a regulated pulsating current at a predetermined frequency. Responsive to the regulated pulsating current a high voltage is induced in the primary windings (1710 and 1680) of induction transformer (T3). The high voltage is coupled to gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the magnetic coupling between primary winding (1730) and secondary winding (1770) of the output transformer (T2). Universal electronic ballast system (10) monitors the presence of gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the voltage divider (1270,1830) and protection circuit formed by diode (1490), transistors (1380) and transistors (1380 and 1440), for maintaining the switching transistor (1590) in an "off" condition by shunting the base drive signal therefrom responsive to gas discharge lamp (1900) being removed from ballast system (10).

Abstract: In a CMOS logic circuit destined to function at a relatively high supply voltage such as to require the formation of graded diffusions in the structure of N-MOS transistors, a NAND configuration is used which comprises a staked pair of N-MOS transistors (N₃,N₄). This permits to restrict the number of graded diffusions to be formed in N-MOS structures only to the drain regions which are directly connected to an output node. In clocked CMOS circuitry where transfer transistors are normally used between gates, the advantages in terms of enhanced speed and ability of the circuit to be compacted by cutting the number of N-MOS structures necessarily provided with drain extension regions as in prior art circuits, are remarkable.

Abstract: For processing prediction values for the DPCM coding, a current prediction value (Pn) is assembled from past values (Pn-3, Pn-2, Pn-1). So that the prediction signal will not be disturbed in the case of a deviation of the sampling frequency from an integral multiple of the subcarrier frequency, the past values (Pn-3, Pn-2, Pn-1) are weighted (G1, G2, G3) during the assembly of a current prediction value (Pn) in such a manner that the influence of the colour subcarrier is compensated for. Free choice of sampling frequency independently of a subcarrier makes it possible to accommodate the sampled signals advantageously in containers of the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The display for a process control system can be generated by one of two different sources, but is controlled by only one of them. A process control system network provides a first source of display (namely information regarding the operation of the process control system), while a windowing system provides a second source (e.g. external computer systems). The windowing system controls the display by opening and maintaining windows, e.g. a window in which the control system network can display information. To allow the control system network to communicate information, a window is opened by the windowing system, and then the process control network is allowed to overwrite information into this newly opened window. Also, should the windowing system fail, control of the display is given to the control system network.

Abstract: The air to be purified is extracted by suction from a work space (2) and fed to at least two parallel active carbon adsorbers (10 to 13). Each adsorber can be switched back and forth between a loading mode in which it adsorbs the solvent vapours from the exhaust air flowing through it and a regeneration mode in which it is separated from the exhaust air stream and flushed with steam and desorbed. To save energy and reduce environmental pollution, it is provided that each adsorber at the end of the regeneration period passes through a drying phase in which exhaust air from the work space flows through the adsorber, which exhaust air is then fed to an adsorber operating in the loading mode. In the periods in which an adsorber operates in the loading mode, it initially passes through a start phase which is followed by a main phase, air streams from the adsorbers in the main phase being returned directly to the work space, while the air stream from an adsorber in the start phase is kept separate from the first-mentioned air streams. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a space having a density variation of a certain parameter, a contour (10) is defined consisting of vertices (11, 12, 13) connected by edges (14, 15, 16). By variation of the position and number of the vertices as a function of the density variation in the space, the contour (10) is determined to follow features in the density variation. The movement of vertices is restricted to a direction (     i   )perpendicular to the local direction (     i   ) of the contour (10). For smoothening the contour (10), an internal force or energy is applied to each of the vertices (11, 12, 13) which force or energy depends on the angle ( c     i   ) between the edges at the vertex, or of the variation of the angles along a sequence of adjacent vertices. A direct interaction between vertices is thereby avoided.
