Abstract: A method for genus-specific amplification of nucleic acids of the Legionella genus, comprising using fewer than 7 primers to amplify nucleic acids of all possible Legionella spp. is claimed. Also claimed are: (1) a method for detecting Legionella bacteria in a sample, comprising (a) genus-specific amplification of nucleic acids of all Legionella spp. in the sample using a Legionella genus-specific set of at least 7 primers, and (b) detecting one or more Legionella spp. on the basis of the amplified nucleic acids; (2) a method for detecting Legionella bacteria involving genus-specific amplification of a fragment of the nucleic acid sequence of the bacteria, where the fragment comprises parts of the 23S and 5S regions and the spacer region between them; (3) a method for detecting Legionella bacteria using a nucleic acid probe having a sequence that is at least 15 nucleotides long and is at least 90% homologous or complementary to part of the 23S or spacer region of the 336 bp sequence (I; given in the specification); (4) a method for detecting Legionella bacteria, comprising detecting the total of all possible species of the Legionella genus; (5) a nucleic acid probe for detecting Legionella bacteria which is at least 90% homologous or complementary to the 23S or spacer region of (I); (7) a pair of primers for genus-specific amplification of Legionella nucleic acids, where one hybridises with one strand in the 23S region and the other hybridises with the other strand in the 5S region of the Legionella genome; and (8) a double-stranded Legionella-specific nucleic acid which is no more than 371 bp long and comprises the spacer region between the 5S RNA and 23S RNA together with only those parts of the 5S RNA and 23S RNA that are directly adjacent to the spacer region in the genome.

Abstract: The method involves detecting the linear displacement of a valve closure element (6) using a sensor (16), and processing the sensor signals (19) in an electronic evaluation unit (12) to determine pref. displacement, speed or acceleration and deviations between a demanded motion and an actual motion of the closure element. The determined deviation is converted according to a defined characteristic into a control value (20) for a damping element (11) variable by an external energy source. The control value is applied to the damping element. The actual motion of the closure element can be compared with a characteristic field of values for the demanded movement.

Abstract: An absorbent structure and garment comprises a superabsorbent material having a free-swell rate of less than about 60 seconds and a five-minute AUL of at least 15 g/g. The superabsorbent material is contained by containment means, such as a fibrous matrix, such that the superabsorbent material is present in said absorbent structure in an amount of from about 60 to about 100 weight percent based on the total weight of the containment means and superabsorbent material. The containment means may contain a high concentration of a superabsorbent material and define a dry volume less than about 180 cubic centimeters. The absorbent garment has a saturated retention capacity of at least about two times the dry volume, wherein the containment means and superabsorbent material account for at least about 60 volume percent of said saturated retention capacity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The system consists of two telescoping modular assemblies. Each assembly has a supporting structure comprising two lengthwise members (10,11) supported by rollers (12,13) and supporting the inner lateral edges of the cover assemblies. Lateral guides position the assemblies relative to one another as they are retracted or deployed. Each assembly has a lateral guide roller (21) with a vertical axle (21a) on a support (22) situated at one end of a lengthwise member. A guide track (18) is situated on the inside of the lengthwise member, offset vertically in relation to the roller. The guide track forms a vertical guide channel for the other, inner assembly (11) which has a horizontal roller (19) on an axle (19a) mounted on a horizontal support (20). The rollers (19, 21) are made from Nylon (RTM), and the cover is light in weight, made e.g. from aluminium and polycarbonate.

Abstract: A partition inserter has a vacuum assembly which pivots out to contact an end partition in a stack, pivots back to remove the partition, and then moves downwardly to release the partition. The positioning of the vacuum assembly is controlled by a set of cams and a cam follower for controlling the horizontal position of the vacuum assembly and a third cam and cam follower for controlling the vertical position of the vacuum assembly. The vacuum assembly has an upper set of cups which move down with the assembly to lower the partition. The upper vacuum cups are also adjustably mounted to the assembly so that the same assembly may be used for partitions of various sizes. When the partition is released from the vacuum cups, the partition is guided downwardly by a pair of conveyors to a set of shooter wheels. The conveyor and shooter wheels are mounted to a set of plates which are adjustably mounted to the frame of the apparatus. The distance between the conveyors and shooter wheels can be adjusted to equal the width of the partition.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un applicateur hyperfréquence comprenant un compartiment hyperfréquence généralement cylindrique, une source d'énergie hyperfréquence et une structure d'alimentation qui relie ladite source au compartiment hyperfréquence. Le diamètre de ce compartiment est établi selon un procédé dans lequel on tient compte uniquement d'une configuration hyperfréquence sensiblement limitée à deux modes magnétiques transversaux. Chacun d'entre eux a une longueur d'onde caractéristique dans le guide et, pour l'un de ces modes, ladite longueur d'onde équivaut sensiblement à deux fois la longueur d'onde dans le guide de l'autre mode. Par ailleurs, on peut dimensionner le diamètre intérieur pour réduire au minimum les indices des modes magnétiques transversaux. La structure d'alimentation de l'applicateur comprend au moins deux ouvertures d'alimentation, physiquement espacées autour de l'axe cylindrique de l'applicateur selon un angle physique égal à un angle de déphasage électrique des hyperfréquences introduites par les ouvertures considérées, angle qui est de 90° dans un mode de réalisation préféré.

Abstract: A multi-channel input signal is downmixed to a multi-channel output signal by one of four downmixing routines. The downmixing routines compute the output channels by multiplying each of a number of coefficients by one of the input channels, and then accumulating the resulting products to form the output channels. For efficiency, the four downmixing routines perform various different computations on the input channels using different combinations of coefficients. For a given combination of input and output channels, a downmixing routine is chosen that will perform all of the necessary computations for downmixing the input to the output, while minimizing the number of computations performed with zero-valued coefficients. As a result, computational efficiency is increased by avoiding unnecessary computations, while at the same time, programming effort and program size are maintained at reasonable levels.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif qui permettent de transporter et d'appliquer un composant en bande (11), tel qu'une bande de roulement de pneu. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: on place le composant en bande sur un transporteur à courroie (16); on détermine une ligne de guidage (52) du composant au niveau de l'extrémité de sortie (20) du transporteur (16); et on règle latéralement l'extrémité de sortie (20) du transporteur (16), de façon à aligner la ligne de guidage (52) du composant en bande (11) sur une ligne de guidage prédéterminée, telle que celle d'un tambour (12) de confection de pneus.

Les guides disposés sur le châssis transversal (76) déplacent les courroies du transporteur (16) sur les plaques glissières sans toucher physiquement le composant en bande (11) transporté, ce qui diminue les risques d'abîmer celui-ci. L'invention décrite ci-dessus peut être utilisée dans un dispositif à transporteur unique ou à transporteurs multiples. Dans ce cas, les transporteurs sont clavetés ensemble de façon à assurer le déplacement synchronisés des composants.
