Inventor: SAUER WOLFGANG
IPC: C21D11/00
Filed: 1998-09-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and controlling the material flux of continuous cast slabs, in particular steel slabs, by tracking and optimizing the temperature on their transport path between the continuous casting machine and the rolling mill. The known temperature of the liquid phase at the casting die exit of the continuous casting plant and the physical parameters of the slab are used as starting points in order to determine the heat amount and the temperature profile of the slab. The convective intermixture of the heat quantity contained in the slab and the time-dependent heat loss of the slab, which is inhomogeneously cooling to the surrounding medium, are then calculated by means of a mathematical/physical model. The result of the calculation is used, optionally together with the measured surface temperature of the slab, in order to control the flux of material in an existing slab tracking system.

Patent CA-2316812-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POWELL GRAHAM RALPH
IPC: G01N21/87
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a viewing stage (not shown) including an antireflection-coated window (10) on which a diamond or gemstone (14) is placed. The diamond or gemstone, which may be a diamond gemstone, is first inradiated by two LEDs (102, 106), having diffuser means (110, 112), the magnification of the viewing system being set at a relatively low level. An image of all or most of at least one facet of the diamond is displayed on the video monitor (40). When the level of magnification is increased, the LEDs (102, 106) are switched off and a central LED (104) is switched on so as to cause the diamond (14) to be inradiated by direct radiation. The position of the diamond (14) is adjusted until a retro-reflection condition is obtained, which allows a mark on the surface of a diamond or gemstone to be viewed.

Inventor: PARSONS GEORGE
IPC: G01N31/00
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for the measurement of hydride using a chemiluminescent compound, such as an acridinium compound. The source of hydride for the reduction of acridinium compound may be of chemical or biochemical origin, or the result of enzymatic catalysis. The chemical source of hydride, might be NaBH4. A biochemical source of hydride might be that derived from NADH, or NADPH, while an enzymatic source would be the class of oxidoreductases termed dehydrogenases which convert NADH or NADPH from NAD or NADP. Among applications for acridinium compounds as chemiluminescent indicators of hydride are diagnostic assays using dehydrogenases as reagents, indicators, diagnostic markers or as labels. Ethanol, for example, might be detected with acridinium ester chemiluminescence through the reaction of alcohol dehydrogenase on ethanol, said reaction producing NADH. As a label, dehydrogenase might be used in an ELISA for the detection of a specific analyte with acridinium ester providing the signaling response.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for maturing an elongate replacement tissue construct in vitro prior to use of the replacement construct in vivo as, for example, a ligament. The tissue is seeded with specific cells, exposed to a maturation fluid, and subjected to selected forces, which can include longitudinal stress (i.e. stressing the tissue along its elongate axis). The tissue is disposed in a maturation chamber that confines maturation fluid for introduction to the tissue. A first mounting element couples to a first end of the elongate biopolymer tissue and a second mounting element couples to a second end of the tissue such that the tissue extends along a longitudinal axis, and a force is applied to at least one of the mounting elements for longitudinally stressing the tissue. The foregoing apparatus and methods are intended to provide a replacement tissue that is more readily integrable in vivo, i.e., a tissue that more readily degrades, regenerates and remodels in vivo to produce a more durable and functional replacement tissue.
