Abstract: Device for transferring data between two modules 5, 6 in a microprocessor system equipped with a central unit 1 with an arrangement of address and data bus 8, 9, 10 connected to the central unit 1 and to a memory 4 of operating codes, as well as to the two modules 5, 6. The device comprises a switch 7 for cutting the data bus into two segments respectively 13 linked to the two modules and 8 linked to the rest of the system, and means 2 for controlling the transfer between the modules whatever the operating code present on the data bus 8 at the output of the memory of operating codes. These means are constituted by a combination logic circuit, which is equipped with an address decoder linked to the address bus 10, and which, when it recognises a particular address on this bus, reverses the read OE and write WE commands of one of these modules with respect to those of the other, activates their selection connection CS and also controls the opening of the switch 7. The processor then has the sole role of incrementing the addresses applied to the address inputs A of the two modules. Application: the invention applies especially to microprocessor systems used in robots of any sort for the control of professional equipment or leisure equipment such as audio-video systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An air operated chuck (10) includes a plurality of hooks (13c) arranged in a circle and joined in relative positions by a ring (13b). A membrane (11a) holds workpieces (27) of various sizes and shapes on the rotating main shaft (18) of a machine tool (17) with a minimum of vibration or off center mounting for precise machine functions. This is accomplished through the use of interchangeable hook attachments (13). Each individual hook attachment (13) is adapted to a shape and size range of workpieces (27). The ring (13b) retains the hooks (13c) centered about the central axis of the chuck body, thus requiring minimal installation adjustment or balancing. A nonrotating air tube (22) reduces vibration due to an unbalanced air hose.

Abstract: The invention is a method for selectively isolating cells which secrete higher levels of monoclonal antibody than did the parental culture from which they were derived. The method is based on the membrane characteristics of the cell and requires the use of a cell sorter. At present, the invention's best mode utilizes fluorescent probes in conjunction with a fluorescence activated cell sorter. The method is based on the correlation of a high level of cell surface immunoglobulin with high monoclonal antibody secretion rates. The invention provides a predictable and rapid process for selecting high monoclonal antibody producing cells.

Abstract: A system for controlling slugs (10) in a stamping and forming machine has a slug stripper (32) for stripping slugs from the end (13) of the punch (11) and slug supporting bars (78, 80) which support slugs at their edges as they move through a passageway (82). The slug stripper (32) is mounted in the facial surface (18) of the die plate (14) and has an end portion (56) which extends partially over the die opening (44). When the punch (11) descends and punches a notch in the strip material (2), the slug (10) which is produced moves the stripper (32) to a retracted position. When the slug (10) is moved past the end of the slug stripper (32), the slug stripper returns to its normal position so that on the return stroke of the punch the slug will be removed by the end portion (58) of the stripper. The slugs are maintained in a stack in the slug passageway (82) by the opposed supporting bars (78,80) which are resiliently biased against opposite edges of the slugs.

Abstract: Secretion of IgA1 proteases is a characteristic of Haemophilus influenzae and several other bacterial pathogens causing infectious diseases, including meningitis. Indirect evidence suggests that the proteases are important virulence factors. The iga gene encoding IgA1 protease, especially that from H. influenzae serotype b, has been cloned into Escherichia coli in which the recombinant iga gene was expressed and the resulting protease secreted. Sequencing a part of a 7.5 kb DNA fragment containing the iga gene revealed a large open reading frame (ORF) with a strongly biased codon usage and having the potential of encoding a protein of 1541 amino acids and a molecular mass of 169 kd. Putative promoter and terminator elements flanking the ORF have been identified. Comparing the deduced amino acid sequence of the produced H. influenzae IgA1 protease with that of a similar protease from Neisseria gonorrhoeae reveals several domains with a high degree of homology. Analogous to mechanisms known from the N. gonorrhoeae IgA protease secretion, there is proposed a scheme of post-translational modifications of the H. influenzae IgA1 protease precursor leading to a secreted protease with a molecular mass of 108 kd which is close to the Mr 100 kd estimated for the mature IgA1 protease.

Date Mar. 21, 1991.The invention relates to an apparatus for venting a building such as a greenhouse, by means of a sheet member which can be mounted in one or several openings of the building. The sheet member comprises a frame with four sides wherein are provided on at least two horizontal controls, which are formed as first rack bars. The frame has a horizontal edging and several parallel slats provided on at least one side hereof with a layer made of windproof and elastic material. A pinion is mounted in rotatable position opposite each guide on the edging, said pinion comprising a first and a second gear, the first gear being in mesh with the mentioned first rack bars, and the second being in mesh with teeth on the second rack mounted in movable position on the edging. A movement by the second rack bar in longitudinal direction will cause the second gear and consequently the first gear as well to rotate, whereby the edging is caused to move upwards or downwards via the first rack bars depending upon the direction of movement of the second rack bar. Consequently, the layer will either close off or clear an opening to the effect that air may vent the interior of the building.

Abstract: A process for converting carbon disulfide (CS₂) to hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in mixtures of H₂S and CS₂ is provided. The H₂S/CS₂ mixture is combined with water to form a hydrolysis feed mixture. The hydrolysis feed mixture is passed through a hydrolysis reactor containing e.g., an alumina-based catalyst, wherein a substantial portion of the CS₂ is converted to additional H₂S. A vapor product comprising H₂S, CO₂, unreacted H₂O, unconverted CS₂ and sulfur is formed by the hydrolysis reaction. The vapor product is cooled to form a H₂S/CO₂ vapor phase and a sour water condensate phase. The H₂S/CO₂ vapor phase is separated from the sour water condensate phase and subsequently recovered. The sour water condensate phase, which contains small amounts of solid sulfur particles, is optionally then combined with additional CS₂ and decanted to form a sulfur-free sour water layer and a CS₂ layer containing dissolved sulfur. The sour water layer is recycled and combined with the original H₂S/CS₂ mixture. The CS₂ layer is recycled to a sulfur removal device to remove the sulfur dissolved in the CS₂.
