Abstract: An agent for removing heavy metals from an aqueous effluent, including at least one compound selected from a silicate or aluminosilicate compound such as an alkali-metal silicate or aluminosilicate, and a carbonate compound such as an alkali-metal carbonate; a sulphur compound; and optionally a carrier, particularly a clay carrier. The agent may also be used to stabilise such metals. Said agent is useful for removing or stabilising heavy metals, including mercury, that are contained in the water used for scrubbing flue gases from waste incinerators, particularly for household refuse or industrial waste.

Abstract: According to the invention, a data integrity code including logical block address ("LBA") and circuit implementation are provided. The code and implementing circuitry are utilized to enable data block LBA verification during a block transfer and retrieval process. The preferred data integrity code has embedded LBA information and also serves as a crosscheck code used to detect miscorrection by an error correction code ("ECC"). In a preferred disk drive embodiment, data integrity block ("DIB") is provided to verify that the LBA value associated with a given data block in a host interface matches the value associated with that same data block in a buffer memory and in a data sequencer. In a preferred method of use, data integrity/cross-check redundancy with LBA is appended to data blocks transmitted to a buffer memory and verified after the data block has been transferred from the buffer. After verification, the LBA is preferably written to the storage medium together with its associated data block to enable later LBA verification for blocks recovered from the storage medium. The LBA may also be verified when the data block is transferred back to a host from the buffer memory.

Abstract: A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA. Using this method libraries of DNA encoding respective chains of such multimeric sbp members may be combined, thereby obtaining a much greater genetic diversity in the sbp members than could easily be obtained by conventional methods.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided to enable real-time volume rendering on a personal computer or a desktop computer in which a technique involving blocking of voxel data organizes the data so that all voxels within a block are stored at consecutive memory addresses within a single memory model, making possible fetching an entire block or data in a burst rather than one voxel at a time. This permits utilization of DRAM memory modules which provide high capacity and low cost with substantial space savings. Additional techniques including sectioning reduces the amount of intermediate storage in a processing pipeline to an acceptable level for semiconductor implementation. A multiplexing technique takes advantage of blocking to reduce the amount of data needed to be transmitted per block, thus reducing the number of pins and the rates at which data must be transmitted across the pins connecting adjacent processing modules with each other. A mini-blocking technique saves the time needed to process sections by avoiding reading entire blocks for voxels near the boundary between a section and previously processed sections.
