Abstract: Unité de production d'oxygène à l'état gazeux de très grande pureté par refroidissement à très basse température de l'air. L'objet de la présente invention est la réalisation d'une unité de production d'oxygène à l'état gazeux ne nécessitant pas de turbine d'expansion, composant coûteux et souvent à l'origine de pannes. Dans l'unité ci-décrite, un organe de stockage d'oxygène liquide (23) est relié via un passage d'introduction (23a) à une partie supérieure (15) d'un rectificateur (11) qui consiste en la partie supérieure (15) pourvue d'un condenseur (16) et en une partie inférieure (12) à une pression intermédiaire, ce qui permet de refroidir le condenseur (13) avec l'oxygène liquide. L'air comprimé à une température extrêmement basse est introduit dans la partie inférieure (12) à une pression intermédiaire du rectificateur (11) via un organe compresseur d'air (1), une colonne de refroidissement d'air (6), une colonne d'adsorption (7) et un organe échangeur de chaleur (8), et ensuite refroidi avec la chaleur latente de vaporisation d'un azote liquide de reflux obtenu dans le condenseur (13) pour convertir l'air résultant en air liquide possédant une teneur en oxygène plus élevée. Cet air liquide est introduit dans la partie supérieure (15), et l'azote est extrait sous forme de gaz à une pression intermédiaire depuis le sommet de la partie supérieure (15), l'oxygène étant laissé à l'intérieur à l'état liquide en utilisant la différence entre les points d'ébullition des deux substances. L'oxygène gazéifié obtenu à partir de l'oxygène liquide restant est utilisé sous forme d'oxygène à l'état gazeux.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US92/00807 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 28, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 28, 1993 PCT Filed Jan. 31, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/13664 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 20, 1992.A method of embrittling cleaned steel particles is described, followed by a grinding and sorting operation. Depending on the initial carbon content of the steel scrap, a reducing and carbon-containing atmosphere may be provided to carburize the particles as they are being embrittled. A quenching operation is provided at the end of the process to embrittle the particles and before the particles are ground. The ground grit which is produced may then be sorted by size and used as an abrasive compound, or, alternatively may be further ground and annealed in a subsequent operation to provide suitable powder for forming sintered parts. Prior to annealing the grit may be further ground in a partial oxidizing atmosphere to preoxidize the powder, in order to provide oxygen directly within the powder to react with any residual carbon so that the carbon monoxide gas can be formed and the powder can be substantially free of both carbon and oxides when the reaction is complete. Alternatively, the powder may be preheated in a controlled atmosphere prior to annealing to preoxidize the powder.

Title: Process of producing superconducting alloys
Inventor: WONG JAMES
IPC: B21C37/04
Filed: 1992-07-09
Abstract: A type II superconducting alloy which is superconducting at a predetermined high magnetic field is prepared by creating a composite having a periodic arrangement of at least two transition metals so as to provide numerous interfaces between the different transition metals including niobium, titanium, zirconium, vanadium, hafnium, and tantalum, and alloys thereof. The combination of transition metals is such that one of the metals will serve as a second phase when the layers are subjected to temperatures which would produce a two-phase equilibrium state from a solid solution alloy of the transition metals. The composite is mechanically reduced and heated to cause interdiffusion of the transition metals to form ductile superconducting alloy zones at the interfaces of the transition metals. Sufficient heat treatment is provided in the region where two phases exist in the phase diagram to form two phases, one phase being the desired superconducting Type II alloy and the other phase being the non-superconducting normal metal or alloy. The temperature of heat treatment is limited to the two-phase region. Thereafter, the composite is mechanically reduced so that the two zones are each less than about 1,000 nm in thickness.

Title: Detecting atherosclerosis in humans
Inventor: SHANKAR RAVI
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1992-06-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting the onset of atherosclerosis and for detecting the degree of atherosclerosis. Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention correlates data obtained from arteries having a measured amount of stenosis with actual arterial data (blood volume change vs. cuff pressure) obtained from a patient which is converted into data relating to the patient's arterial peak compliance. Another aspect of the present invention detects the onset and the degree of atherosclerosis by classifying the shape of a curve obtained by relating arterial blood volume change with cuff pressure. Two devices can be used, an electrical impedance plethysmograph and a volume plethysmograph.

Title: Method and apparatus for eliminating television commercial messages
Inventor: IGGULDEN JERRY
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1994-01-06
Abstract: During recording of a TV signal on a VCR, data is accumulated representing time of occurrence and duration of events in the television signal, and is stored in memory (42). A time code generator (50) generates time codes which are written on the tape as it is recorded. After recording, the stored data is analyzed to classify the content of the TV signal and a playback map is constructed and stored in memory (64). During playback, the map is retrieved and stored timing data are compared with timing reference data read from the tape. The VCR is fast forwarded when the tape reaches the beginning of a portion of the video signal that has been classified for elimination during playback. The VCR is put in the "play" mode when the tape reaches the end of that portion of the video signal. Since the entire TV signal is recorded, all of the signal may be viewed, even if parts have been misclassified.
Patent EP-0804561-A4 (EP)
Title: Regulated transcription of targeted genes and other biological events
Inventor: CRABTREE GERALD R
IPC: C10G7/06
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: Dimerization and oligomerization of proteins are general biological control mechanisms that contribute to the activation of cell membrane receptors, transcription factors, vesicle fusion proteins, and other classes of intra- and extracellular proteins. We have developed a general procedure for the regulated (inducible) dimerization or oligomerization of intracellular proteins. In principle, any two target proteins can be induced to associate by treating the cells or organisms that harbor them with cell permeable, synthetic ligands. To illustrate the practice of this invention, we have induced: (1) the intracellular aggregation of the cytoplasmic tail of the ¶ chain of the T cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex thereby leading to signaling and transcription of a reporter gene, (2) the homodimerization of the cytoplasmic tail of the Fas receptor thereby leading to cell-specific apoptosis (programmed cell death) and (3) the heterodimerization of a DNA-binding domain (Gal4) and a transcription-activation domain (VP16) thereby leading to direct transcription of a reporter gene.  Regulated intracellular protein association with our cell permeable, synthetic ligands offers new capabilities in biological research and medicine, in particular, in gene therapy. Using gene transfer techniques to introduce our artificial receptors, one can turn on or off the signaling pathways that lead to the overexpression of therapeutic proteins by administering orally active "dimerizers" or "de-dimerizers", respectively. Since cells from different recipients can be configured to have the pathway overexpress different therapeutic proteins for use in a variety of disorders, the dimerizers have the potential to serve as "universal drugs". They can also be viewed as cell permeable, organic replacements for therapeutic antisense agents or for proteins that would otherwise require intravenous injection or intracellular expression (e.g., the LDL receptor or the CFTR protein).
