Abstract: A method and a device are specified for driving a series circuit of power semiconductor switches (2). In this case, the voltage load on the individual switches in the series circuit is compensated for in that the voltage (Uce1 ... Ucen) across each switch in the series circuit is measured as the control variable and the switching times are changed on the basis of this measured voltage such that the voltage load is essentially of equal magnitude for all the switches during switching. In addition, the measured voltage can be used to influence the magnitude of the control voltage (Ugeoff1 ... Ugeoffn) in the switched-off state such that the voltages across the switches when they are switched off are essentially of equal magnitude. The advantage of the invention can be seen in the fact that the voltage load on the individual semiconductors can be compensated for not only during switching but also when they are switched off. In addition, the regulation also compensates for influences of parameter differences and changes as well as influences from the circuitry. In consequence, the switches can be used optimally in terms of both power and frequency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (+) cetirizine for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis in humans while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cetirizine. The optically pure (+) isomer is also useful for the treatment of allergic asthma and chronic and physical urticaria. (+) cetirizine is an inhibitor of eosinophil chemotaxis and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to eosinophilia such as allergic asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, some parasitic diseases, some chronic obstructive lung diseases and certain gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders.

Abstract: Dual-skinned membranes are provided useful as one-way or rectifying membranes which reduce back filtration of solute molecules in dialysis and which improve nutrient supply and product recovery in membrane bioreactors. The membranes are dual-skinned polymeric materials preferably in the form of hollow fibers. The membranes have skins of polymer on the opposite sides with differing permeability to solutes and sieving coefficient characteristics. The skin on each side have pores that are invisible at 10,000 times magnification. A microporous structure between the skins contains pores capable of retaining solutes in a molecular weight range of about 5000 to 200,000 in an increased concentration between the interior and the exterior skins. Improved dialysis devices are formed by using bundles of the hollow fiber membranes as a dialysis member having rectifying properties.

Abstract: An FPGA is comprised of a number of cells which perform logical functions on input signals. Programmable intraconnections provide connectability between each output of a cell belonging to a logical cluster to at least one input of each of the other cells belonging to that logical cluster. A set of programmable block connectors are used to provide connectability between logical clusters of cells and accessibility to the hierarchical routing network. A uniformly distributed first layer of routing network lines is sued to provide connections amongst sets of block connectors. A uniformly distributed second layer of routing network lines is implemented to provide connectability between different first layers of routing network lines. Switching networks are used to provide connectability between the block connectors and routing network lines corresponding to the first layer. Other switching networks provide connectability between the routing network lines corresponding to the first layer to routing network lines corresponding to the second layer. Additional uniformly distributed layers of routing network lines are implemented to provide connectability between different prior layers of routing network lines.

Abstract: In an optical coupling device for a node in a self-healing optical network, the number of switching elements is reduced by using a novel type of optical 2 x 2-switch (20). The switch has two switching states, viz. a bar state (ss1), in which a first and a second main port (25, 26) are optically coupled through to, respectively, a first and second secondary port (27, 28), and a half-cross state (ss2), in which the main ports are coupled through to one another, and the secondary ports are not involved in any through-coupling. An integrated design of the switch is based on two asymmetric Y-junctions coupled to one another via a common side branch in which electrode means are active in order to vary the propagation constant. The use thereof leads to a compact, integrated version of the optical coupling device with only two switching elements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A force sensing assembly measures a magnitude of a force generated at the tabs in a product delivery system. The product delivery system can be one in which a force is produced at the tabs by the weight of the stack, by a paddle pushing an end of the stack, or by another similar type of advancing mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the force sensing assembly has a pair of tabs connected to a cross-bar which extends across the stack and which is connected to the frame of the feeder through a bell crank at one end and a lever at the other end. The bell crank has one arm connected to the cross-bar and a second arm connected to a load cell. The force at the tabs causes the lever and bell crank to rotate, with the force being transmitted through the bell crank, through a spring, and then to the load cell. The load cell generates a force signal which is supplied to a controller for adjusting the amount of force at the tabs. The controller adjusts the force by adding more products to the stack or by advancing the stack closer to the tabs. The load cell preferably has a stopper for preventing an excessive amount of force from reaching the cell.
