Abstract: According to a known method for pelleting a liquid or paste-like mass, a cooling flow of a liquid coolant is produced, guided by a guiding body, the mass is introduced into said cooling flow, first at least partially frozen so that pellets are formed and then removed from the guiding body and frozen completely. The aim of the invention is to produce a simple and economical method for the reproducible production of pellets, based on this. The inventive method should also reduce the risk of deformation. To this end, the invention provides that the pellets (10) are introduced into a coolant bath (3) with a liquid coolant and then completely frozen. A simple and compact device for carrying out this method is provided with a flow generating device for producing a cooling flow of the liquid coolant, a guiding body for guiding and transferring the coolant flow, said guiding body having a transfer point, and a feed device for introducing the mass into the cooling flow. A coolant bath (3) is provided in a container (1) and the transfer point (16) of the guiding body (6) is located in or above the coolant bath (3).

Abstract: The sensitivity of enzyme-based polarographic electrodes to oxygen concentration can be significantly reduced or eliminated by providing an oxygen-reservoir in intimate contact with the oxidative enzyme. This is achieved by making a stabilized emulsion between the enzyme and a compound in which oxygen is extremely soluble. An aqueous glucose oxidase solution is emulsified with a perfluorocarbon liquid, and the resulting emulsion is stabilized by chemically crosslinking the mixture to form a gel. Thin layers of the emulsion are fabricated by spreading a layer of the liquid emulsion before gelation occurs. Additional carrier proteins such as albumin may be added to the enzyme prior to crosslinking to protect enzymatic activity and enhance gel strength. Additional electron transport compounds may be added to further reduce sensitivity to oxygen concentration.

Abstract: A Fetal Brain Monitor (FBM) utilizes a transducer which is placed on the abdomen of a mother and which is pulsed to generate auditory sounds, i.e., clicks, to provide auditory brainstem evoked responses (BAER) of a fetus within the mother's uterus. The fetus' brain waves are detected by a biosensor, amplified, converted to digital data, and analyzed, in one embodiment, using a digital comb filter to improve the signal/noise ratio. The computer system uses QEEG (Quantitative EEG) to compare the data from the fetus to normative data or to prior states of the fetus' own data (self-norm)

Abstract: A data switch includes multiple switching modules interconnected over a backplane. The data switch maintains flow integrity while path transitioning. The flow integrity can be maintained by temporarily disabling one or more of the switching modules from transmitting data units over the backplane for a flow undergoing a path transition. The disable condition is imposed when the path transition is commenced, and is lifted after the path transition is completed and an interval has passed ensuring that all data units for the flow transmitted to the backplane prior to imposing the disable condition have cleared the backplane. The backplane includes a multicast fabric and a unicast fabric, wherein flow path transitions are made from the multicast fabric to the unicast fabric upon source learning. All switching modules are temporarily disabled from transmitting data units having as a destination address an address undergoing source learning to the backplane. Moreover, the switching module supporting the device whose address is undergoing source learning is temporarily disabled from transmitting data units having the address as a source address to the backplane. The disable conditions are lifted after source learning has been completed and an interval has passed ensuring that all data units having the source learned address as a source or destination address and transmitted to the multicast fabric have cleared the backplane. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for detecting and compensating for a saturation condition of a power amplifier where an error signal is produced by differencing a signal representative of or derived from a control signal for controlling the shape of the output of the power amplifier and a signal representative of or derived from the output of the power amplifier. An integrator integrates the error signal to produce a cumulative error signal. A detection circuit detects a saturation condition when the value of the cumulative error equals or exceeds a predetermined value determined during device calibration. Upon the detection of a saturation condition, a compensation circuit derives a compensation value by multiplying the value of the error signal at the time saturation is detected by a predetermined constant, and subtracts this value from the control signal. The input to the power amplifier is derived from the adjusted control signal.
