Patent EP-1019208-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STILLI ADRIAN
IPC: B22D11/043
Filed: 1998-09-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a mould pipe for a continuous casting mould for the continuous casting of steels, especially peritectic steels. The inventive pipe has a first longitudinal section (1) incorporating a predetermined position for the level (h) of liquid metal in the mould, and a second longitudinal section (2) following on from said first section. The first longitudinal section (1) comprises a heat-insulating layer (16), the dimensions of which are such that the heat resistance of the mould pipe (10) in the first longitudinal section (1) is greater than that in the second longitudinal section (2). The heat-insulating layer (16) fills an area from the outer surface (11) of the mould pipe (10) to a distance equivalent to at most 75 % of the thickness of the mould pipe wall (dw) measured from said outer surface (11) of the mould pipe (10). By selecting the appropriate thickness profile for the heat-insulating layer in the direction of strand withdrawal (14), it is possible to set a given temperature profile on the inside of the mould pipe during a casting operation and optimise the growth of a strand shell.

Abstract: A polypeptide, called Tir (for <u>t</u>ranslocated <u>i</u>ntimin <u>r</u>eceptor), which is secreted by attaching and effacing pathogens, such as the enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) E. coli. These bacterial pathogens insert their own receptors into mammalian cell surfaces, to which the bacterial pathogen then adheres to trigger additional host signaling events and actin nucleation. Diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic E. coli can be performed by the use of antibodies which bind to Tir to detect the protein or the use of nucleic acid probes for detection of nucleic acids encoding Tir polypeptide. Isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding Tir polypeptide, Tir peptides, a recombinant method for producing recombinant Tir, antibodies which bind to Tir, and a kit for the detection of Tir-producing E. coli are provided. A method of immunizing a host with Tir to induce a protective immune response to Tir or a second polypeptide of interest is also provided. A method for screening for compounds which interfere with the binding of bacterial pathogens to their receptors is further provided.

Abstract: A single deactivation device (10) is used to deactivate both harmonic type EAS markers and magnetomechanical type EAS markers. The deactivation device includes a housing (12), a permanent magnet (14) and a coil (16) disposed within the housing. The coil is circular and is arranged concentrically with, and outside of, the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet forms a DC magnetic field for deactivating the harmonic type marker by magnetizing control elements thereof. The coil is driven to generate an AC magnetic field that deactivates the magnetomechanical type marker by degaussing a control element thereof. The maximum amplitude of the AC magnetic field is lower than the level of the DC magnetic field, and is substantially below the coercivity of the control elements of the harmonic type marker. The coercivity of the control element of the magnetomechanical type marker is low enough to be degaussed by the AC magnetic field.

Each separator plate is formed from a non-conductive substrate overlaid on each surface by a selected pattern of conductive paths, paths on one side of the substrate being connected by vias to paths on the other side of the substrate, the paths being attached to the current collectors of the layered MEA structures on either side of the separator plate.
