Abstract: A process for producting vitamin B6 comprises cultivating a microorganism belonging to the genus Rhizobium and being capable of producing vitamin B6 in a culture medium under aerobic conditions, and separating the resulting vitamin B6 from the fermentation broth. As well as containing assimilable carbon sources, digestible nitrogen sources, inorganic salts and other nutrients necessary for the growth of the microorganism, the culture medium preferably additionally contains pyruvate, D-glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, glycine, 1-deoxy-D-threo-pentulose, 4-hydroxy-L-threonine or a mixture thereof. This process affords high yields of vitamin B6, a vitamin essential for the nutrition of animals, plants and microorganisms and useful as a medicine and in foodstuffs.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the aortic flow velocity waveform non-invasively. A calibrated ascending aorta pressure waveform can be derived from peripheral measurements, for example at the radial artery, and calibrated from conventional syphgmomanometry, for example at the brachial artery. From the calibrated ascending aorta pressure waveform the flow velocity waveform in the ascending aorta can be determined, by using the Fourier transform of the pressure waveform and the age-related phase and modulus values. The method can also be used for invasively measured pressure waveforms to provide a flow waveform.

Abstract: A new, cost effective process for the production of ultrafine particles which is based on mechanically activated chemical reaction of a metal compound with a suitable reagent. The process involves subjecting a mixture of a metal compound and a suitable reagent to mechanical activation to increase the chemical reactivity of the reactants and/or reaction kinetics such that a chemical reaction can occur which produces a solid nano-phase substance. Concomitantly, a by-product phase is also formed. This by-product phase is removed so that the solid nano-phase substance is left behind in the form of ultrafine particles. During mechanical activation a composite structure is formed which consists of an intimate mixture of nano-sized grains of the nano-phase substance and the reaction by-product phase. The step of removing the by-product phase, following mechanical activation, may involve subjecting the composite structure to a suitable solvent which dissolves the by-product phase, while not reacting with the solid nano-phase substance. The process according to the invention may be used to form ultrafine metal powders as well as ultrafine ceramic powders. Advantages of the process include a significant degree of control over the size and size distribution of the ultrafine particles, and over the nature of interfaces created between the solid nano-phase substance and the reaction by-product phase.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing ozone water by accelerated mixing and dissolving of ozone into water due to an enhanced contact efficiency of ozone gas and water with controlled temperature. The apparatus (99) comprises a circulation line (2) for circulating ozone water (60) and employs a jet nozzle (4a) in a conduit (4) which returns the ozone water (60) from the circulation line (2) into a primary container (1). This causes negative pressure about the outlet of the nozzle, thereby the ozone gas (70) is sucked into the water which is jetted. Thus, the ozone gas is rapidly mixed and dissolved into the water. Efficiency of stirring of the ozone water is also enhanced. A secondary container (5a) is provided in the circulation line, which specially facilitates cooling of the ozone water as well as prevention of freezing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is a PERFECTED ECOLOGICAL CAGE-TRAP of the type used in nature parks and private game preserves to catch animals. It consists of a parallelepiped structure on a suitably extended rectangular base, open at the two smaller sides, where there are two doors with a perpendicular retention lug on one of their edges. the doors move vertically like a guillotine. Inside the cage, in the middle, there is a bar placed perpendicular to where the animal enters on which a platform balances. That bar has an "L" shaped lug which serves as a stop on the vertical part of a second "T" shaped bar, the connection between the doors and the platform which perpendicularly branches out in the upper part of the cage till reaching the two sides. The ends are "L" shaped and provide support for perpendicular lugs of both side doors. Adjacent to the parallelepiped structure is another structure of similar dimensions sharing a common wall, in which the bait is placed. The bait to attract the animal is placed in this structure.The prey, attracted by the bait, goes into the cage, upsets the balanced platform and the doors come down trapping the animal. The distance to the doors prevents the animal from escaping before they fall. The animal can be freed by manually lifting the doors up through the runners. <IMAGE>
