Abstract: A method of and an arrangement for continuous hydrolysis of organic material in the form of sludge with a dry solids content of 1-20%. A sludge containing the organic material with a low content of abrasive components and a dry solids content of 1-20% is heated to a temperature of approximately 100° C. The sludge is mixed with steam at a pressure of 1-4 bars. The sludge/steam mixture is lead to a preheating tank. The pressure of the sludge/steam mixture is increased from 3 to 10 bars. The sludge-steam mixture is lead to a reactor. A depressurizing tank depressurizes the sludge/steam mixture to 1-4 bars. The sludge and steam are separated and may be cooled.

Abstract: In a multi-layer armor system (10), useful for military vehicles, a metallic foam is provided as the shock energy-absoring element. In a typical arrangement, the metallic foam shock-absorbing element (12) is sandwiched between a high strength strike plate (11) and a backing plate (13). Typically, the backing plate is a highly deforming metal, such a titanium, aluminum, or steel. Howevere, the backing plate may comprise one or more layers of metal, ceramic or polymer-based composites. The high strength strike plate may be ceramic or metal. The shock-absorbing element is preferably a closed-cell metal foam with a high porosity that is effective in containing rearward deformation of the strike plate from a projectile strike. In preferred embodiment, the shock-absorbing element is an aluminum foam with a porosity of 80 percent by volume.

Abstract: A minimally invasive approach to adjusting the amount of support on an anatomical structure. The methods and apparatus described include the use of a tape for supporting an anatomical structure. Adjustment may be achieved by use of bulking agents applied either directly to the site or into a containment device located within proximity of the tape and such that it works in conjunction with the tape to support the anatomic structure. An alternative approach utilizes mechanical means for adjusting the effective length of the supporting arms of the tape used to support the anatomical structure.

Abstract: An assembly for coupling together in a turbofan engine the guide vane (38) and the inner vane shroud (42). The assembly includes a bushing (68) positioned within a shroud port (60) for receiving the inner trunnion (62) of the vane (38). A washer (70) located between the bushing (68) and a trunnion button (64) of the vane (38) provides substantial retaining contact between the bushing (68) and the vane (38). A shroud retainer (74) affixed to the inner surface of the shroud (42) captures the bushing (68) in the shroud port (60). The retainer (74) preferably spans a series of shroud sections (42) for as much as about one-half of the entire circumference of the shroud (42). The combination of the washer (70) and the retainer (74) with significant span reduces movement between the shroud (42) and the vane (38). Wear on the vane trunnion (62) is therefore reduced and maintenance obligations correspondingly reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of using nanostructured chemicals as alloying agents for the reinforcement of polymer microstructures, including polymer coils, domains, chains, and segments, at the molecular level. Because of their tailorable compatibility with polymers, nanostructured chemicals can be readily and selectively incorporated into polymers by direct blending processes. The incorporation of a nanostructured chemical into a polymer favorably impacts a multitude of polymer physical properties. Properties most favorably improved are time dependent mechanical and thermal properties such as heat distortion, creep, compression set, shrinkage, modulus, hardness and abrasion resistance. In addition to mechanical properties, other physical properties are favorably improved, including lower thermal conductivity, fire resistance, and improved oxygen permeability.

Abstract: A time-domain electromagnetic target discriminator (ETD) sensor system and method are provided capable of measuring a metal target's time decay response based on the physical parameters of the metal target and its environment and for identifying the metal target. The ETD sensor system includes a pulse transmitter connected to a receiver via a data acquisition and control system. The transmitter and receiver include coil configurations for placement in proximity to a visually obscured, e.g., buried, metal target (or underground void) for inducing eddy currents within the metal target. The ETD sensor system measures the eddy current time decay response of the metal target in order to perform target recognition and classification. The identification process entails comparing the metal target's (or, underground void or other object's) time decay response with a library of normalized object signatures, e.g., time decay responses and other characteristics.

Abstract: Cell lines having genetically modified glycosylation pathways that allow them to carry out a sequence of enzymatic reactions, which mimic the processing of glycoproteins in humans, have been developed. Recombinant proteins expressed in these engineered hosts yield glycoproteins more similar, if not substantially identical to their human counterparts. The lower eukaryotes, which ordinarily produce high-mannose containing N-glycans, including unicellular and multicellular fungi are modified to produce N-glycans such as Man 5 GlcNAc 2  or other structures along human glycosylation pathways. This is achieved using a combination of engineering and/or selection of strains which: do not express certain enzymes which create the undesirable complex structures characteristic of the fungal glycoproteins, which express exogenous enzymes selected either to have optimal activity under the conditions present in the fungi where activity is desired, or which are targeted to an organelle where optimal activity is achieved, and combinations thereof wherein the genetically engineered eukaryote expresses multiple exogenous enzymes required to produce "human-like" glycoproteins.
