Date Jun. 28, 1990.A diffraction grating of reflective or transmissive lines is formed by a regular matrix of pixels each containing a respective curvilinear portion of one or more of said lines. When the pixels are illuminated, each generates a two-dimensional optical catastrophe image diffraction pattern whereby the total image diffraction pattern of the grating is optically variable but structurally stable. The invention further provides a diffraction grating of reflective or transmissive lines, comprising a multiplicity of diffraction grating regions which are at least partly separated by multiplicity of grating free regions. Each grating free region has a dimension which is at least large enough to be resolved by the human eye, the total grating free areas not exceeding about 20 to 50% of the total area of the grating. The disclosed diffraction grating is useful as a security device for currency or credit cards.

IPC: A62C2/24
Filed: 1985-11-14
Granted: 1988-11-03
Abstract: An electro-mechanical ventilator control mechanism comprises a rotary actuator (19) operable to move a control arm (1) to open and close the ventilator via a force transmitting member (10) formed in two sections (4, 5), normally retained telescoped one within the other by an electromagnetic device (2, 3) mounted on the section (4) and an electromagnetic keeper plate (4) mounted on the section (5), spring means (7) being provided pulling on the end of the member (10) and tending to open the ventilator. De-energisation of the electromagnetic device (2, 3) e.g. under the control of an automatic fire ventilating system, releases the keeper plate (4) and allows the ventilator to open under the action of the spring (7). Subsequent operation of the rotaray actuator (19) and re-energisation of the electromagnetic device (2, 3) re-sets the ventilator for automatic operation. Instead of a rotary actuator (19) a linear actuator (20) may be used.

Title: Improved method for the refolding of proteins
Inventor: THOGERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN
IPC: C07K16/24
Filed: 1994-02-04
Granted: 1997-01-02
Abstract: A novel, generally applicable method for producing correctly folded proteins from a mixture of misfolded proteins, e.g. bacterial inclusion-body aggregates. A major new aspect of the method is that over-all efficiency is achieved by subjecting proteins to a time-sequence of multiple denaturation-renaturation cycles, resulting in gradual accumulation of the correctly folded protein. The method has proven efficient for a variety of recombinant proteins. Also provided are novel encrypted recognition sites for bovine coagulation factor Xa. The encrypted recognition sites described may be activated in vitro by controlled oxidation or by reversible derivatization of cysteine residues and thereby generate new cleavage sites for factor Xa. Two new recombinant serine protease exhibiting narrow substrate specificity for factor Xa recognition sites are also provided. They may replace natural coagulation factor Xa for cleavage of chimeric proteins.

Abstract: Apparatus for classifying particulate material on a particle by particle basis according to the extent to which the particles possess certain attributes, such as the presence of particular colors when viewed from different directions. A particle feeder (12) feeds particles past an inspection system (13) which inspects each particle and derives signals which are a measure of a plurality of attributes of the particle. A separation or airblast mechanism (14) operates to direct particles to multiple outlets (15) according to the signals derived by the inspection system (13). This operation is controlled by a signal processor which can store a plurality of sets of specific values of attributes each set of which is typical of one of a plurality of particular classes into which the particulate material is to be classified and can compare subsequently measured sets of values of attributes of successive particles with the stored sets to determine a closest match with one of the particular classes.

Title: Pasteurizable plastic container
Inventor: KRISHNAKUMAR SUPPAYAN M
IPC: B65D79/00
Filed: 1996-07-17
Granted: 1998-11-19
Abstract: A pasteurizable plastic container having movable panels to alleviate internal pressure changes during pasteurization in order to avoid uncontrolled permanent deformation of the container body. As molded, each panel has a shallow recessed central wall which during the increased temperature and pressurization of pasteurization, moves outwardly to alleviate at least part of the internal pressure. During cooling, the panels move back inwardly to alleviate at least part of the negative pressure. The container may further include hoop ribs in the land areas above and below the panels, an axially elongatable hoop rib in an upper shoulder section, and an angled heel portion adjacent the standing ring. These additional elements further restrict uncontrolled bulging of the post walls, which would lead to improper label application and/or excessive volume change.

Inventor: WENTZLER THOMAS H
IPC: C02F1/62
Filed: 1990-11-30
Granted: 1994-04-14
Abstract: An improved process for removing dissolved metals from waste water using a recycle high density sludge is described. Specifically, the process comprises the steps of: (1) treating waste water containing dissolved metals with a recycle stream containing alkaline surface active recycle particles to precipitate the dissolved metals on the surface of the recycle particles; (2) treating a portion of the treated waste water containing metal precipitate solids with an alkaline reagent to form alkaline surface active recycle particles; (3) recycling the alkaline treated stream containing the alkaline surface active particles; and (4) separating the portion of the stream from step (1) not treated with alkaline reagent into a water component which is free of dissolved metals and solids and a sludge component which contains solids. The improved process is further enhanced by using a solids classification step to preferentially separate finer metal precipitate particles, which are treated with an alkaline reagent and recycled, from larger metal precipitate particles, which are discarded.
