Granted: 1996-02-21
Abstract: An electrochemical sensor electrode is formed from an electronic conductor (26) coated with a matrix (28) containing a perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer and a selected enzyme. The selected enzyme catalyzes a reaction between a predetermined substance in a solution and oxygen to form an electrochemically active compound that is detected at the electronic conductor. The resulting perfluorosulfonic acid polymer provides a stable matrix for the enzyme for long lived enzyme activity, wherein only thin coatings are required on the metal conductor. The polymer also advantageously repels interfering substances from contacting the enzyme and contains quantities of oxygen to maintain a sensing capability during conditions of oxygen depletion in the sample. In one particular embodiment, glucose oxidase is mixed with the perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer to form an electrode for glucose detection.

Date Oct. 17, 1991.A low power OFDM signal may be transmitted in an environment where it is subject to interference from other transmissions, e.g. broadcast television services. In a receiver interference is reduced by ignoring information modulating OFDM carriers at the frequencies corresponding to the carriers of the interfering transmissions; adjacent channel interference is reduced by ignoring data on OFDM carriers at the band edges and interference from third order intermodulation products is reduced by the ignoring OFDM carriers affected. Image channel interference is reduced by using an intermediate frequency for a first mixing process in the receiver such that the image channel interference affects OFDM carriers at frequencies which are already being ignored by the receiver. Preferably no data is modulated onto OFDM carriers which are to be ignored by the receiver. Preferably the modulation of the OFDM carriers is arranged so as to produce a real baseband representation of the OFDM signal.

Abstract: A novel barbecue fuel in the form of fragments is produced by grinding and compacting cobs of corn without any binder. It behaves in a certain manner during combustion, as defined by the particle size of the pieces and the composition of the extruded cobs of corn, resulting in features which make it suitable for use with barbecues. A device for fragmenting hollow rolls of compacted ligno-cellulosic substances produces fragments for a novel barbecue fuel having specific physical/mechanical properties. The rolls are shattered under the effect of pressure exerted by a press by means of a sliding tapered pike (4) in a yoke (3) with adjustable spacing in relation to a guide tube (2) for securing the roll which is fed to the tube via a channel (1). The entire device is mounted on a sliding table such that it is possible to adjust the distance between the die outlet and the fragmenting device.

Abstract: A wide variety of product types, sizes and shapes are sorted into designated destination bins or other outputs utilizing a computer controlled transport path that includes an infeed section (16) and a pinch roller diverting section (18). The infeed section receives a singulated stream of products to be sorted, optically scans each product for a destination code and transports the products downstream to the diverting section. The diverting section consist of a series of individually and selectively controlled roller pairs (34) in combination with a number of diverting gates (40). Each roller pair includes an upper foam covered pinch roller and a lower friction drive roller oriented such that products moving downstream pass between each roller pair until diverted from the transport path. An array of photoelectric detectors (21,22) provide product position information to identify and track product movement through the apparatus. The computer (24) controls the transport path by energizing individual drive rollers to effectuate downstream product movement, and actuating diverting gates to divert the products from the transport path into designated output bins (20) according to their scanned destination codes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to drive a stepping motor (1, 2) which can be driven in main steps and in intermediate steps within each main step, the motor (1, 2) is driven into a defined zero position for starting, using a phase current combination which corresponds to the defined position. Thereafter, a test is carried out via a reference switch (4, 5) which is arranged between the mutually moving motor parts (1, 2) to determine whether the motor (1, 2) is in the defined position. The defined position is reached when the reference switch (4, 5) triggers. If said switch does not trigger, the motor (1, 2) is driven so that it carries out a movement whose magnitude is equivalent to a plurality of main steps and is then once again driven with the abovementioned phase current combination. The reference switch (4, 5) is then interrogated again. This is repeated until the reference switch (4, 5) triggers and the defined position is hence reached. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An adaptive paging system includes a paging terminal that is operable to receive paging signals and transmit them up to a satellite (28) and down through a downlink (312) to stick locations (314), (316), (318), (320) and (322). Each of the sticks (314) - (322) is associated with a given locale (324), (326), (328), (330) and (332). The sticks are operable in a simulcast mode and also in a cellular mode. In the cellular mode, each of the sticks (314) - (322) is operable to receive a separate message that is distinct from the other cells. Pagers (36), having a known location at any of the locales (324) - (332) can then be selectively addressed and data transferred thereto. To prevent interference between adjacent RF locales, adjacent cells are not turned on during transmission to select cells in the cellular mode. These can be turned on at a different time. Orthogonal coding can be utilized such that adjacent cells can be turned on, thus increasing throughput. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An unwinding carriage (14) is supplied with a fibre web (4). This unwinding carriage (14) is moved to and fro, thus causing it to deposit the web (4) onto an exit conveyor (8) driven transversely to the movement of the unwinding carriage (14), so as to produce a lap (6) consisting of successive lengths of web inclined alternately relative to the longitudinal direction of the exit conveyor (8), these lengths being connected by means of folds defining the edges of the lap produced (6). The advance of the exit conveyor (8) is maintained at the moments of the changes in direction of the unwinding carriage (14). During these changes in direction, the quantity of web (4) unwound is restricted, so as to exert on the fibres between the exit conveyor (8) and the unwinding carriage (14) a pull which tends to orient the fibres forming the folds of the web in the lap (6) parallel to the longitudinal direction of the exit conveyor (8). The invention is used particularly for making needled products. <IMAGE>
