Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: Lorsqu'une radio RDS ou RBDS est utilisée pour l'écoute d'enregistrements pré-enregistrés, le bloc d'accord surveille une station RDS en arrière-plan afin de déterminer si une annonce de trafic est en cours. Une recherche permet de sélectionner une station convenable pour la surveillance d'arrière-plan, qui ait toutes les chances de répondre aux préférences individuelles du conducteur. La méthode de recherche peut également servir à trouver des stations capables de transmettre du trafic, des stations météorologiques, de l'information de situations d'urgence et des émissions de nouvelles.

Title: Production and secretion of proteins of bacterial origin in filamentous fungi
Inventor: VEHMAANPERA JARI
IPC: D21C5/00
Filed: 1997-01-24
Abstract: The present invention is related to an improved production of bacterial proteins in filamentous fungus, e.g. in Trichoderma and Aspergillus. The improvement is achieved by constructing expression vectors, which comprise the bacterial protein encoding DNA sequences fused in frame with a DNA sequence encoding a filamentous fungus secretable protein or one or more functional domains of said protein.  Filamentous fungus hosts transformed with such expression vectors secrete the desired proteins or enzymes, especially xylanases or cellulases originating from bacteria or more preferably from actinomycetes into the culture medium of the host. The desired proteins or enzymes can be used directly from the culture medium after separation of host cells or recovered and treated using down-stream processes, which are appropriate for the respective application. Xylanases or cellulases from actinomycetes produced using the above expression vectors are most suitable for treating plant derived materials, e.g. in pulp and paper industries.

Abstract: The tensioning system is used in a bandmill having a first and a second substantially coplanar wheels that are spaced-apart along a longitudinal axis and around which an endless toothed saw blade is coupled. One of the wheels is selectively movable and tiltable relative to the other by a tensioning system that extends between each end of the shaft supporting the movable wheel and the main frame of the bandmill.   The tensioning system comprises a pair of longitudinally-extending hydraulic actuators. A pair of connecting assemblies is provided to operatively connect a respective actuator to one end of the shaft. A fluid divider is used to supply an equal amount of hydraulic fluid under pressure to each actuator in order to ensure an equal displacement of each side of the movable wheel. An auxiliary hydraulic line is in fluid communication with one of the actuators allows the movable wheel to be tilted.  In another embodiment, two sets of primary and secondary actuators are provided instead of a pair of single actuators. Each secondary actuator is directly and coaxially mounted on the piston assembly of a respective primary actuator. The primary actuators provide the tension in the saw blade and the secondary actuators are used in conjunction with a hydraulic damper assembly.

Title: Ultrasonic clamp coagulator apparatus having force-limiting clamping mechanism
Inventor: WHIPPLE GARY
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1998-10-07
Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical clamp coagulator apparatus is configured to effect cutting, coagulation, and clamping of tissue by cooperation of a clamping mechanism of the apparatus with an associated ultrasonic end-effector. In order to limit the force with which tissue is clamped between a clamp arm of the clamping mechanism and the end-effector, the clamping mechanism includes a force-limiting spring which operatively connects an operating lever of the apparatus and components of the clamp drive mechanism. The force-limiting spring is preferably pre-loaded so that the interconnection of the associated components is desirably "stiff", thus providing a user with good tactile feedback during operation of the clamping mechanism. At least one travel stop is preferably provided on the apparatus housing for limiting movement of the operating lever after a predetermined degree of relative movement of the operating components in opposition to the force-limiting spring.

Title: Rotary electric apparatus and generator/motor using said rotary electric apparatus
Inventor: HAYASAKA SHIGEAKI
IPC: H02K21/20
Filed: 1998-01-21
Abstract: A rotary electric apparatus; and a generator and a motor respectively using the rotary electric apparatus. Said rotary electric apparatus comprises a rotary shaft (1), a stator (2) being disposed by way of surrounding external periphery of the shaft (1), and a pair of rotors (3N) and (3S) integrally disposed onto the shaft at both-side positions of the stator (2). The rotor (3N) comprises a plurality of N-polar magnetic poles and the other rotor (3S) comprises S-polar magnetic poles by the same number as that of the rotor (3N). The N and S magnetic poles set to the rotors are disposed at equal angles in the state of being opposed to each other in the axial direction of the shaft (1). The stator (2) comprises cores that correspond to double number of magnetic poles of each rotor, magnetic-pole portions formed at both ends of said cores, and coils wound on said cores. The magnetic-pole portions both ends are respectively disposed at equal angles in the state of being opposed to the magnetic poles of the rotors via air-gap. By virtue of the above structure, magnetic poles provided for the rotors (3N)(3S) can be formed with flat surfaces, thus securing even magnetic flux. Further, as a result of contraction of the stator (2) in the axial direction, iron loss and leakage flux can securely be minimized.

Patent CA-2252197-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NICHOLSON CORBY J
IPC: B63B35/34
Filed: 1998-11-09
Abstract: Ice booms are deployed in rivers and lakes to control the ice movement in winter. These booms are often removed during the summer and re-deployed in the fall just before the ice season arrives.   In order to decrease the deployment and recovery costs, a method was developed that allows keeping the boom in place by sinking each pontoon under water. These pontoons are then re-floated in time for the next ice season.   Each pontoon is pressurised with air to about 20 psi, then, is filled with water until its weight exceeds its buoyancy without allowing the inside air to escape. The pontoon sinks and rests on the bottom until the fall. Each pontoon is then re-floated by opening the valve and allowing the water to escape under air pressure inside the pontoon and until the buoyancy of the pontoon exceeds its weight.   The procedure has been verified following a 1/3-scale model test carried out under laboratory conditions. This procedure allows the use of a range of pressures using air and water pumps and a pressure control valve to accommodate varying pontoon diameters and ice boom sizes.

Abstract: Prelaminate pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) constructions comprise a first substrate, a coating of release material on a surface of the first substrate, a PSA layer disposed on the coating of release material, and a detackified layer (DL) disposed on a surface of the PSA layer to form a continuous film covering the PSA layer. In first and second embodiments of the construction the DL is activatable to form a tacky layer on top of the PSA layer for lamination with a second substrate. In a third embodiment, the DL includes constituents that when activated migrate into the PSA layer to expose the PSA  layer tacky surface for lamination with a second substrate. The prelaminate PSA constructions are completely nonblocking to a minimum 24 hour blocking temperature of about 50 ~C at pressure of about 40 kilopascals, thereby allowing such prelaminate PSA construction to be collected, stored, and/or transported before being laminated without adhesive interference occurring between continuous layers. The DL in each embodiment is activatable in less than five seconds to provide a tacky layer having a sufficient open tack time to permit lamination at less than about 100 ~C.
