Abstract: A surface textured film has a coating providing the surface texture designed to impart suitable friction and handling characteristics. The texture is produced by coating the film substrate with a composition comprising a polymerisable component, preferably a metal (meth)acrylate, dissolved or dispersed in a volatile vehicle and drying the coating. Removal of the vehicle causes phase separation and/or retraction of the components to produce the surface texture.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel fructosylamine deglycase characterized by the specificity to amadori compounds of catalyzing oxidation of the compounds to produce an α-ketoaldehyde, an amine derivative and hydrogen peroxide; a method of producing the novel enzyme by cultivating microorganisms belonging to the genus  Candida  and having an ability of producing the novel enzyme; and a method of quantitative determination of amadori compounds by applying the novel enzyme to a sample containing amadori compounds to measure the amount of the hydrogen peroxide to be formed by the oxidation reaction or measure the amount of the oxygen to be consumed by the reaction to thereby obtain the amount of the amadori compounds from the measured value. The invention provides a novel enzyme characterized by the high specificity to the reaction with amadori compounds, especially that having therein a saccharide moiety as bonded to the ε-amino group, and also provides a method of producing the enzyme and a method of quantitative determination of amadori compounds with the enzyme. Using the enzyme, quantitative determination of amadori compounds, which is difficult by conventional enzymatic methods, is possible with ease. In particular, in measurement of the amount of a saccharified protein in a sample from a living body, which is an important index substance in diagnosis of diabetes, the enzymatic method of the invention of measuring fructosamine in the sample is hardly influenced by other interfering substances or impurities in the sample, the influence by them having been inevitable in conventional chemical methods. Accurate determination of the amount is possible by the method, and the method is free from the inconvenience of staining the kits and instruments used. For measuring glycohemoglobin, the method displays another characteristic feature that its operation is more simple and needs less labor and time than conventional methods.

Abstract: A marker assembly (10) adapted for use with an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system, and particularly for use with books to be monitored by an EAS system, includes a flat elongated, marker strip (12) of low coercive force, high permeability ferromagnetic material, adhesive layers (16 and 20) carried on both the front and rear surfaces (18 and 22) of the marker strip and a release liner (14, 56) which extends along the rear surface of the marker strip, around opposed end margins of the marker, and along the front surface thereof, terminating at the approximate midpoint of the marker strip with opposed, graspable tabs carried clear of the adhesive layer on the front surface. Pulling the opposed tabs away from each other removes the wrapper from the front surface, thereby exposing the adhesive carried on that surface and allowing attachment of the front surface to a selected page of the book. Continued pulling of the tabs detaches the wrapper from the rear surface, exposing the adhesive layer carried by that surface for attachment to the adjacent page of the book.

Abstract: A multi-component feed (10) comprising component A, B and C with A being the most volatile and C the least volatile is introduced to a multicolumn distillation system comprising a main distillation column (12) and a side column (22). The component A is separated from component C in the main distillation column (12), component A being removed as an overhead fraction (18) and component C being removed as a bottoms fraction (19). Recovery of component B from the side column (22) is enhanced by withdrawing a liquid fraction (24) from the main distillation column (12) at a point intermediate the overhead and feed and introducing that liquid fraction to an upper portion of the side column (12). Lighter components are withdrawn as an overhead (26) from the side column (22) and returned to an optimal location in the distillation system, typically the main distillation column (12). A vapor fraction (25) is also withdrawn from the main distillation column (22) at a point intermediate the bottoms and feed and is introduced to a lower portion of the side column (22). A liquid fraction (27) is withdrawn as bottoms from the side column (22) and returned to the main distillation column (12). Thermal integration in the side column (22) is effected by removing the liquid (28) from the side column (22) and vaporizing (32) this fraction (28) against a vapor fraction (34) from the main distillation column (12). Additionally or alternatively, thermal integration may be achieved by withdrawing a vapor fraction (40) from the side column and heat exchanging with a liquid fraction (36) from the main distillation column. At least a portion of the vaporized liquid (31,37) is returned to the multi-column distillation system and at least a portion of the condensed vapor fraction (35,41) also is returned to the multi-column distillation system.

Abstract: The effectiveness of a RIC remote diagnostics system is improved by reducing the quantity of data required to perform diagnostics. More specifically, a machine (10) being remotely monitored acquires a data summary of key performance parameters and transmits the data summary to a remote server (95). The remote server analyzes the data summary and can query for more specific non- volatile memory data in specific areas if the remote server determines that further information is needed to complete the diagnostics. The system involves interaction between low level diagnostic software (120) associated with the machine and high level diagnostic software (140) located at the remote site (70).

Abstract: In order to reduce distortion of real-current wave form and to suppress substantial transient fluctuation of the current and torque during changeover from the regeneration running to the power running of a three-phase induction motor (66), changeover from the three-phase-modulation control to the two-phase-modulation control is carried at the same time the power running of the motor (66) is changed to the regeneration running according to a motor-state-quantum such as a detected slip ratio, detected torque, detected current or the like. Thus, distortion of the motor-current wave form is reduced and significant fluctuation of the motor-current and torque during the changeover is reduced.
