Patent EP-0742251-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BROWNSCOMBE THOMAS FAIRCHILD
IPC: C08L67/00
Filed: 1996-05-07
Abstract: The invention provides a process for recovering polyester polymers, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from a mixed polymer recycle stream, typically in the form of carbonated soft drink or other containers. This process comprises: (1) contacting the mixed polymer recycle stream with a solvent which selectively dissolves the polyester, (2) separating the selective solvent containing PET from the residual mixed polymer, (3) cooling the selective solvent to precipitate the polyester, and (4) separating the polyester thereby recovered. In a preferred embodiment, the mixed polymer recycle stream is chemically washed subsequent to water washing and prior to contact with the selective solvent. The polyester recovered is preferably combined with "virgin" polyester and further processed to increase its molecular weight.

Abstract: A dispensing system has a dispenser pump (2) mounted on top of a container (1). Product (5) in the container (1) reaches the intake of the dispenser pump (2) through a vertical feed tube (3) which extends down to the container's base (11). A follower plate (4) lies on top of the product (5) and is slidable along the feed tube (3) while sealing against the container's side wall (12). The foot (32) of the feed tube interlocks mechanically with the container base (11), e.g. by means of a upward projection (14) on the container base which fits into the feed tube foot. A preferred form of the upward projection has a series of radial fins (141) to permit the flow of product and an upwardly tapered region (142) to facilitate installation of the feed tube (3).

Abstract: All functions of an accompaniment apparatus are included in the body of a wireless microphone (10) to eliminate a necessity of using an individual, separated and special apparatus body. A background image, lyrics and an accompanying sound are transmitted to a television receiver or an FM radio receiver in a wireless manner. Only one microphone is required to permit a user to sing a song while watching the guide caption on the screen. As a result, the accompaniment apparatus can be used by any one at an arbitrary place regardless of the place being indoor or outdoor. Since a power amplifier for an earphone is provided, audio output through the earphone can be performed so that a user is able to perform a silent practice of singing and enjoy listening of other music.

Abstract: A housing for a gas valve or the like, said housing comprising a first housing portion, which is connected to a second housing portion with the interposition of a flexible sealing element, whereby each housing portion is provided with a substantially circular contact surface, against which the sealing element abuts. The sealing element and/or either one or both contact surfaces are shaped in such a manner that only part of a contact surface is in contact with a part of the surface of the sealing element at the location of the contact surfaces. The two housing portions are kept a predetermined distance apart by connecting means, so that there will only be local deformation in the part of the sealing element that is located between the contact surfaces. The sealing element is provided with at least one annular rib, which abuts against a contact surface with part of its surface. The rib may taper off from the surface of the sealing element and be oriented towards the central axis of the ring, seen in cross-sectional view.

Abstract: Gestion de défaut pour le traitement automatique de piste sans zone d'identification qui a pour but le traitement des informations relatives aux défauts de piste de supports magnétiques dans un système de lecture de disque. L'invention permet d'intégrer n'importe quelle méthode de gestion de défaut, y compris le remplacement linéaire et le passage à de nouveaux secteurs, cylindres ou segments. Pour chaque secteur, on transpose un numéro de secteur physique en numéro de secteur logique en fonction de l'ordre des données sur la piste. La transposition du numéro de secteur physique en numéro de secteur logique destiné au traitement automatique de piste peut s'effectuer selon une des trois méthodes suivantes: 1) intégration d'une table de défauts de piste dans le tampon de la mémoire vive; 2) écriture des informations relatives aux défauts dans l'en-tête de chaque secteur; ou 3) recours à un système PEPS à logique intégrée pour gérer la liste de défauts. La première et troisième méthodes sont compatibles avec un format sans identification dans lequel la zone des données ne contient pas une sous-zone d'en-tête et les informations destinées à l'identification de secteur est maintenue par le système de lecture de disque. Dans la deuxième méthode, la sous-zone d'en-tête est constituée de quatre enregistrements de défauts. Dans la troisième méthode, si le nombre d'enregistrements de défauts de piste dépasse la capacité du système PEPS, alors, après l'initialisation et le chargement des premiers et deuxième groupes du système PEPS par le microprocesseur de l'unité de disque, les premier et deuxième groupes sont chacun chargés par le microprocesseur de l'unité de disque pendant que l'autre est traité en alternance jusqu'à ce que le traitement de piste soit terminé. Un enregistrement de défaut comprend un numéro de secteur physique du secteur défectueux, un numéro de décalage et une balise indiquant si oui ou non le secteur défecctueux a été remplacé. L'enregistrement défectueux peut être représenté par une entrée à deux octets ou peut contenir un nombre d'octets définissable par l'utilisateur. Des balises de défaut sont automatiquement générées par le système pour chaque secteur défectueux.

Abstract: A bearing design for a rotatable assembly includes two freely rotating balls mounted on the axis of rotation of the assembly and axially separated, one near each axial end of the assembly. Each ball is confined by a moving concave bearing surface of the rotatable assembly and a corresponding fixed concave bearing surface of a mounting attached to a frame, housing, or similar non-rotating structure. One of the fixed mountings is preferably attached to a compressible spring to provide a controlled axial pre-load to the assembly. The balls are substantially enclosed and lubricant provided in the enclosed cavity. In the preferred embodiment, the rotatable assembly is a rotary actuator assembly of a disk drive. Compared to conventional ball bearing designs, the present design reduces the number of parts and volume of space occupied by the bearings, reduces hysteresis, and improves shock resistance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for eliciting an immune response and the prevention and treatment of primary and metastatic neoplastic diseases and infectious diseases. The methods of the invention comprise administering a composition comprising an effective amount of a complex, in which the complex consists essentially of a heat shock protein (hsp) noncovalently bound to an antigenic molecule. "Antigenic molecule" as used herein refers to the peptides with which the hsps are endogenously associated in vivo as well as exogenous antigens/immunogens (i.e., with which the hsps are not complexed in vivo) or antigenic/immunogenic fragments and derivatives thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the complex is autologous to the individual. The effective amounts of the complex are in the range of 10-600 micrograms for complexes comprising hsp70, 50-1000 micrograms for hsp90, and 10-600 micrograms for gp96. The invention also provides a method for measuring tumor rejection in vivo in an individual, preferably a human, comprising measuring the generation by the individual of MHC Class I-restricted CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific to the tumor. Methods of purifying hsp70-peptide complexes are also provided.
