Abstract: A water purifier which works in accordance with the membrane distillation principle includes degassing means (7) for degassing incoming crude water prior to commencing the membrane distillation process; membrane means (16) for the membrane distillation of degassed water; and outlet means (20) which functions to discharge a residual quantity of degassed undistilled water when a degassed undistilled water level has fallen to a predetermined lower level in a container (3) which receives the crude water to be purified. The container (3) is provided with an upper level sensor (4) and a lower level sensor (18) and a temperature sensor (11). The upper level sensor (4) functions to activate the start of circulation means (5) for the circulation of crude water through the degassing means (7), and also to activate the start of crude water heating means (9). When the level of water in the container falls, the lower level sensor (18) functions to activate opening of the outlet means (20) so as to discharge remaining undistilled water. The temperature sensor (11) functions to cause circulation to the degassing means (7) to stop and to cause the circulation of degassed water to the membrane means (16) to commence for distillation of degassed water when a predetermined water temperature is reached.

Abstract: A method for producing zinc oxide by precipitating a single-phase precursor which consists, in particular, of a single-phase composite zinc/dopant oxalate in which bismuth atoms and other dopant atoms replace the zinc atoms, whereafter the composite oxalate is subjected to a decomposition heat treatment to give the doped zinc oxide. The method may be used to produce zinc oxide powders in which all the components are uniformly present, and which have a controllable morphology, a high specific surface area, and a remarkable densifiability, particularly when sintered at a moderate temperature (740 - 1000  DEG C).

Abstract: A cruse control system (14) including a vehicle-borne radar (32) for determining range and closing rate of the vehicle relative to a target ahead of the vehicle. The range and closing rate are used to determine a new set speed for the control system which may be less than but not greater than the speed entered in the cruise control by the driver of the vehicle. The new set speed is selected to prevent the vehicle from overtaking the target, and ideally reduces the closing rate to zero at a predetermined minimum distance from the target. The system also determines incremental movements for the vehicle throttle using a selected gain boost and is designed to minimize throttle jerk. If the target moves out of the path of the vehicle or speeds up, the system adjusts accordingly and eventually allows the vehicle to resume the originally entered speed when possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The angle measurer (1), for measuring the angle position between a stationary object (3) and an object turning relative to it (5), uses a coupling (2) by which it is radially and axially flexibly attached. This coupling consists of two orthogonally-arranged parallelograms and is fastened to the stationary object by clamps (8a,8b,9a,9b). Between the stationary object and the stator (10) of the angle measuring component is at least one ring-shaped mounting unit (18) with a clamp (18a) for bracketing to the coupling. This clamp can be moved or turned to effect radial clamping. The coupling is simple to mount and ensures frictionless and accurate angle transmission. The whole angle measurement component is compact.

Abstract: The invention provides novel vectors derived from adenovirus which are specifically suitable for use in methods of gene therapy. <??>The vectors have a deletion compared to wild-type adenovirus in that the E1 region is not present in a functional manner. <??>Additionally the vectors are characterized in that they do contain a part of the E3 region of adenovirus which is biologically functional. This results in vectors which do normally not lead to expression of adenoviral proteins, but which in the cases where such proteins do become expressed will repress the host's immunological response to said proteins. Thereby host cells infected (provided) with the vector will live longer. Therefor the product introduced into said cells providing the therapy will be produced in larger amounts, or at least for a prolonged period. Preferably the vector comprises genetic information for antisense therapy, or for genes which will combat tumors, such as genes encoding cytokines, preferably IL-1, or so called suicide genes, such as Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase. <??>Methods for producing said vectors and methods of gene therapy or uses therein are also disclosed.

Abstract: A pull-tab for a liquid container (80) is designed in the form of a sheet (10). By providing a cutting line (26) in the form of a ring, leaving a connecting sector (25) on the periphery, there is formed a handle sector (15), being the portion outside said cutting line (26), and a main sector (30), being the portion inside the cutting line. By providing another cutting line (28) as a convex arc in the direction away from the connecting sector (25) on the main sector, a fastening sector (31) is formed. In this pull-tab, the main sector (30) covers the pouring mouth (83) when the connecting sector (25) is positioned near the outer periphery of the pouring mouth (83) of the liquid container (80). A sector (35) between an end of the main sector (30) opposite to the connecting sector (25) and the fastening sector (31) is bonded to the surface (81) of the liquid container (80). When the handle sector (15) is lifted up and the main sector (30) is pulled up with edges of the bonded sector (35) as a supporting axis, the fastening sector (31) is turned, and its forward end engages the surface (81) of the liquid container (80) to prevent the pull-tab returning to obstruct the pouring mouth. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A conductive structure for use in microwave food packaging which adapts itself to heat food articles in a safer, more uniform manner is disclosed. The structure includes a conductive layer disposed on a non-conductive substrate. Provision in the structure's conductive layer of fuse links and base areas causes microwave induced currents to be channeled through the fuse links, resulting in a controlled heating. When over-exposed to microwave energy, fuses break more readily than the conductive base areas resulting in less absorption of microwave energy in the area of fuse breaks than in other regions where fuses do not break. In this way the fused microwave conductive structure compensates for the uneven microwave field within a microwave oven and at the same time provides a safer conductive structure less likely to overheat. In addition, by varying the dimensions of the fuse links and base areas it is possible to design and fabricate different fused microwave conductive structures having a wide range of heating characteristics. Thus, a fused microwave conductive structure permits food heating temperatures to be tuned for food type.
