Title: Combined chlorinated hydrocarbon-sodium bicarbonate productio
Inventor: ANDEL ELEONOOR VAN IR
IPC: C07C17/02
Filed: 1979-12-19
Granted: 1983-06-23
Abstract: Production of sodium bicarbonate by the Solvay-soda method, employing a volatile aliphatic amine instead of ammonia, is combined with the oxychlorination of olefins in liquid phase by using the amine hydrochloride side-product of the soda plant as chlorine source in the oxidative regeneration of the spent chlorinating liquid. The chlorinating liquid contains iodine and copper chloride or iron chloride and on regenerating the spent liquid the amine is recovered in the vapor phase and recycled to the soda plant.

Date Jul. 21, 1994A container base (5) is adapted to receive various types of side-boards owing to a new corner structure. The corner structure is characterized in that coupling means can be inserted in two mutually perpendicular horizontal directions and in a vertical direction. This is achieved in that a pair of pipe profiles (10, 11) has open ends to receive coupling means, and by the provision of a further pipe profile (12) which extends perpendicularly to the pipe profiles (10, 11). The further pipe section is terminated at the same level as or below the lower side wall of the substantially horizontal pipe parts and is secure to the lower wall edges of these. All pipe profiles are located in such a way that they do not prevent introduction of a coupling means into any of the pipe profiles of the corner.

Title: Apparatus for using hazardous waste to form non-hazardous aggregate
Inventor: KENT JOHN M
IPC: F23G5/16
Filed: 1991-01-17
Granted: 1993-11-11
Abstract: Hazardous waste is formed into non-hazardous non-leaching aggregate by introducing the material to a rotary kiln where the large solids are at least partially combusted to form a primary aggregate. Gaseous combustion by-products and waste fines from the waste materials are introduced into at least one oxidizer having water-cooled metal walls. Some of the waste fines are melted to form a molten slag-like material that is removed from the apparatus and cooled to form non-hazardous aggregate. The portion of the material in the oxidizer that is not melted, is cooled, neutralized and subjected to a solid gas separation. The solid is reintroduced to the oxidizer with the primary aggregate where they are either melted or entrained within the molten material and become an integral part of the non-hazardous aggregate. <IMAGE>

Title: Feedback-controlled method and apparatus for processing signals used in oximetry
Inventor: CHEUNG PETER WING-POON
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1987-08-18
Granted: 1991-02-14
Abstract: A feedback control system is disclosed for use in processing signals employed in pulse transmittance oximetry. The signals are produced in response to light transmitted through, for example, a finger at two different wavelengths. Each signal includes a slowly varying baseline component representing the relatively fixed attenuation of light produced by bone, tissue, skin, and hair. The signals also include pulsatile components representing the attenuation produced by the changing blood volume and oxygen saturation within the finger. The signals are processed by the feedback control system before being converted by an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter (72) for subsequent analysis by a microcomputer (16). The feedback control system includes a controllable offset subtractor (66), a programmable gain amplifier (168), controllable drivers (44) for the light sources (40, 42) and the microcomputer (16). The microcomputer (16) receives signals from the offset subtractor (66), gain amplifier (68), drivers (44) and A/D converter (72) to produce signals that control the function of the subtractor (66) and drivers (44) in the following manner. Normally, the drivers (44) are maintained within a predetermined current range. In the event the microcomputer (16) senses an output from the converter (72) that is not within a predetermined range, the drive signal is adjusted to produce an acceptable signal. The magnitude of the offset removed by the subtractor (66), as controlled by the microcomputer (16), is maintained at a constant level when the converter (72) output is within a first predetermined range and is a predetermined function of the converter (72) output when that output falls within a second predetermined range.

Title: Zero clearance anti-extrusion rings for containment of PTFE packing
Inventor: HUTCHENS WILBUR DEAN
IPC: F16K41/04
Filed: 1991-10-11
Granted: 1994-06-02
Abstract: A packing containment (10) assembly for sealing an operating member such as a shaft (12) or stem in a fluid control valve (14), particularly where PTFE packing (16) is used. A pair of zero clearance anti-extrusion rings (18) of PEEK material are mounted in the shaft with the PTFE packing (16) therebetween. Each ring (18) has an inner diameter slightly less than the shaft (12) outer diameter to form an interference fit. The rings (18) are split with a scarf cut (24) to provide an overlapping joint and enable mounting of the rings (18) on the operating member (12). A male adapter PEEK ring (64) matches a V-type female packing ring (16a) which significantly reduces the amount of PTFE packing (16) needed for a reliable seal. A step cut PEEK zero clearance anti-extrusion ring (18) could be used as well as a fractured carbon ring (50). <IMAGE>

Title: Methods for increasing the efficiency of recombinant AAV production
Inventor: SYNDER RICHARD
IPC: C12N15/864
Filed: 1998-08-07
Granted: 2001-04-12
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for increasing the production of high titre stocks of recombinant AAV (rAAV) through regulation of expression of the AAV REP and CAP proteins. The methods and compositions of the invention are based on the observation that the low level expression of the AAV REP 78/68 protein increases the production of AAV viral capsid protein and efficiency of packaging resulting in production of higher titre recombinant viral stocks. The invention encompasses recombinant AAV vectors that direct the expression of AAV REP and CAP proteins and the use of such vectors for the production of novel stable cell lines capable of generating high titre rAAV vectors. The invention provides methods for regulating the expression of the AAV REP 78/68, REP 40/52 and CAP gene at the transcriptional and post-translational level. The methods and compositions of the invention can be used to produce high titre stocks of rAAV which can be used in gene therapy for the purpose of transferring genetic information into appropriate host cells for the management and correction of human diseases including inherited and acquired disorders.
