Abstract: An ultrafiltration module (10) and method of constructing same is the subject of the present invention. The module (10) comprises a permeate collector tube (12) and one or more membrane leaves (16) wound around the tube (12) together with a feed channel spacer (18) so as to present spaced layers of membrane leaves or envelopes that are contacted by fluid flowing axially through the module (10) in the channel provided by the feed spacer screen (18). The feed spacer screen (18) projects beyond the terminal ends of the leaves (16) to present an open mesh outerwrap screen (20) circumscribing the wound leaves (16). A plurality of restraining bands (22) are provided in longitudinally spaced relationship along the length of the module (10). These bands (22) are designed to hold the entire module assembly (10) in tight spiral relationship. Preferably, the bands (22) are constructed of heat shrinkable material and are thus secured in place and tightened by the application of heat. After the restraining bands (22) are in place, a bypass screen (24) also of open mesh configuration is wrapped around the outerwrap (20) and the restraining bands (22) and secured by overlapping it onto itself and fusing the overlapped portion. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The complete structure of human milk BAL cDNA is disclosed. The nucleotide sequences of the cDNA inserts of two clones overlap and together contain 2951 base pairs of BAL cDNA which codes for an open reading frame of 720 amino acid residues between initiation and termination codons. There is a putative signal sequence of 20 residues which is followed by a 61-amino-terminal sequence of BAL. The cDNA sequence also contains a 678-base 5'-untranslated sequence, a 96-base 3'-untranslated region, and a 14-base poly(A) tail. The deduced BAL protein structure contains in the carboxyl-terminal region fourteen repeating units of 11 amino acids each. The repeating units have the basic structure of Pro-Val-Pro-Pro-Thr-Gly-Asp-Ser-Gly-Ala-Pro-, with only minor substitutions. The cDNA is useful for expression of protein, study of structure, function and the effect of modification or deletion or addition of amino acids, including entire repeating units, and as probes for studies involving BAL or related lipases, including rat pancreatic lysophospholipase, cholinesterase, and acetylcholinesterase. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Analyser for automatically analysing body fluids for a plurality of different analytes (parameters). An analysis apparatus has reaction vessels (8) which are conveyed on the apparatus to various processing stations (10 to 16). The system also includes liquid reagents which are kept ready in reagent vessels (9) on the apparatus and whose contents are adequate for a multiplicity of analyses. In order to achieve a high degree of analytical accuracy with reduced probability of operating errors and without a substantial increase in the total system costs, a calibrator is kept available ready-for-use in liquid form in a calibrator station (17) of the analysis apparatus, the calibration is initiated for the various parameters independently of one another and is carried out fully automatically (i.e without human intervention). To initiate the calibration for a parameter, a specifically predetermined calibration initiation cycle is performed in which at least one calibration influencing variable which is inherent in the system is sampled in each case, logically combined with a specifically defined control value for the particular parameter and the decision on the initiation of the calibration is taken automatically having regard to the logical combination. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for manufacturing lenses using thin coatings

Granted: 2002-04-17
Abstract: A fast, relatively inexpensive and simple method for producing a finished plastic aspheric multifocal or progressive lens from a preformed lens which has a predetermined lens correction (i.e., curvature or prescription) at its optical center. The method includes providing a mold; providing an optical photoactivated resin composition; providing a preformed plastic lens; contacting the preformed lens with the mold such that the surfaces of the preformed lens and the mold form a cavity enclosing the resin composition; and curing the resin composition upon application of heat and ultraviolet radiation. The cavity formed by the preformed lens and the mold is shaped to correspond to the desired change in curvature of the mold surface. The preformed lens may also be cast with a thin non-prescription layer which acts as a carrier for the multifocal or progressive region of the finished lens. This allows casting of lenses without employing either expensive conventional optical gaskets or back molds. The methods also allow for simpler relocation of the optical center to the proper position with respect to the multifocal or progressive prescription, without using conventional optical gaskets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for bleaching of lignocellulose-containing pulp, in which the pulp is treated at a pH between about 1 and about 7 in the presence of a magnesium compound, whereupon the pulp is washed and subsequently bleached with a peroxide-containing compound. The initial treatment removes from the pulp those trace metal ions that have a negative effect on the subsequent bleaching with a peroxide-containing compound. Owing to the presence of magnesium ions in dissolved form during the initial treatment, the magnesium ions are retained in those positions in the pulp where they have a particularly positive effect on the effectiveness of the bleaching stage.

Abstract: Method for mixing granulates, powders and liquids in a continuous process, whereby the material is placed in a mixing housing (2) and is mixed therein with the aid of a rotor (6,7) equipped with mixing arms (9,12,13). The material is thereby moved to and fro many times during one rotation of the rotor, towards the rotor axis and away from it. For that purpose the device with which the method is implemented has longitudinal stators, mounted principally in the axial direction of the rotor, between which the mixing arms move when in operation. The mixing housing consists preferably of two chambers situated behind one another seen in the direction of the axis of the rotor and separated from one another by the rotor disk. The material which is to be mixed enters the housing in the first chamber, where it is undergoes a preliminary mix, then flows into the second chamber and is mixed further there. <IMAGE>
