Abstract: The invention relates to guide wires for the medical field, which can be used for example for the insertion of catheters, locks or the like in the human body, especially in vessels and organs. In order to avoid the danger of detachment of parts of such a guide wire the invention proposes a one-piece guide wire of a highly flexible material which has a front insertion end having a first thickness and, adjoining the insertion end, at least one reduced cross-section in order to increase the flexibility on bending at least in a region adjoining the insertion end, and which has at least sections having a cross-section of the order of magnitude of that of the insertion end in its rear region facing away from the insertion end. A preferred method of producing such a guide wire envisages that a rod-shaped part having a smooth outer wall is drawn continuously at least once at least over part of its length from an etching bath attacking its material into a non-etching environment.

Abstract: A method and system for measuring dielectric properties of fluids in an oil well, utilize the well casing as a waveguide for certain electromagnetic signals. The system includes a mandrel (102) sheathed by a housing (106). Transmitting (112,114) and receiving (113,115) coils are contained in annular grooves defined in the mandrel (102). In operation, the tool is suspended by a wireline logging cable within the casing of a producing well. The transmitting coil(s) (112,114) generate(s) magnetic fields and azimuthal electric fields, which induce voltages in the receiving coils (113,115). These voltages are affected by the dielectric properties of fluids in the casing, and the voltages may be interpreted to determine dielectric properties such as water resistivity, dielectric permittivity, water hold-up, water cut, and water salinity. Due to specifically sized longitudinal mini-waveguides (200) defined in annular regions about the circumference of the housing, the magnetic and azimuthal electric fields resulting from the transmitting coil (112,114) may be sensed by the receiving coils (113,115), but the voltage-induced electric fields created by the transmitting coil (112,114) are prevented from interfering with the receiving coils (113,115).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for retaining the antimicrobial activity of the byproducts of growth of microorganisms during storage. In the method, a pasteurized low fat or skim milk substrate is provided. The substrate is inoculated with an  S. lactis  culture. The substrate is then fermented to cause growth of the culture and the release of metabolic byproducts, including nisin, from the culture. The fermented substrate is loaded into a container. The headspace of the container is then flushed with a quantity of an inert gas in excess of the amount required to displace all of the ambient air in the headspace. 
     In an important embodiment of the invention, a small amount of a CO₂ producing chemical, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, is mixed into the fermented substrate. The CO₂ producing chemical has the effect of both stabilizing the antimicrobial activity of the cultured substrate and aiding in the release of nisin from the cells produced during fermentation of the substrate.

Abstract: In a ferroelectric memory, when data is read out from a memory cell, for the purpose of minimizing a variation of the voltage on the pair of data signal lines caused by factor other than the current caused due to the polarization of the ferroelectric capacitor, the number of memory cells connected to each one data signal line is limited. Thus, a voltage not smaller than the coercive voltage can be applied between the opposing electrodes of the ferroelectric capacitor, with the result that a sufficient read-out signal voltage can be obtained.

Abstract: Sulphonates are prepared by the neutralisation of a sulphonic acid with a basic hydroxide or oxide. The process requires the staged addition of sulphonic acid to a reaction mixture comprising basic hydroxide or oxide dispersed in a water/diluent mixture; the reaction mixture is basic throughout the additions of acid and at least until the point of completion of the neutralisation reaction. The basic hydroxide or oxide may also be added in stages. The sulphonate product has low viscosity, low haze and good stability and is essentially chloride free as halide promoters are not utilised in the manufacture of the product.

Abstract: An engine controller (12) controls an ignition system (88) and bypass throttle valve (96). An ignition timing signal is set to an initial value as a function of engine (10) operating parameters. The timing signal is retarded during cold operation to rapidly warm a catalyst converter (20) coupled to the engine exhaust  (48) . When the vacuum in the intake manifold (44) falls below a threshold level, the ignition timing signal is advanced beyond the initial value. The ignition timing signal is retarded back towards its initial value when the manifold vacuum exceeds the threshold value. Concurrently, the initial timing signal is controlled to achieve desired engine idle speed.
