Inventor: DIRSUS WALTER
IPC: G01N21/3504
Filed: 2002-01-02
Abstract: Determining the total carbon content and total nitrogen bound values of water samples, especially effluent samples comprises combusting the water sample in an oxygen stream at above 700 deg C; passing over a catalyst; removing water by condensing; and investigating the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration using IR spectrometry and the NO concentration using chemo-luminescence and a calibration curve. Uncooled gases after combustion are contacted with a catalyst to form nitrogen oxides and convert carbon compounds to CO2.  An Independent claim is also included for a catalyst used for determining the total carbon content and total nitrogen bound values of water samples comprising a porous carrier material with cobalt (II/III) oxides and chromium (III) oxides formed on its surface. Preferred Features: The catalyst is fixed in an externally heated reactor between an upper and a lower layer of quartz wool. The carrier material is pumice stone having a grain size of 0.5-5.0, preferably 0.8-3.0 mm.

IPC: C12N7/01

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided that relate to a recombinant virus-based
vector, e.g., a baculovirus-based vector, that allows the expression of an exogenous target
protein in non-permissive cells (e.g., non-permissive insect cells or mammalian cells) in the
absence of expression of a detectable selection marker. The vector includes a nucleic acid
sequence encoding a detectable selection marker which is controlled by a promoter that is
active in host cells used to screen for recombinant virus but is silent in the non-permissive
cell used for expression of the exogenous target protein. The vector also includes an
exogenous nucleic acid sequence encoding a target protein under the control of a promoter
that is active in the non-permissive cell. This system allows the selection marker to be
expressed during viral plaque screening, but not while the target protein is being produced.

Abstract: A method and system for tuning a bulk acoustic wave device at the wafer level by
adjusting the thickness of the device. In particular, the thickness of the device has a non-uniformity
profile across the device surface. A mask having a thickness non-uniformity
profile based partly on the thickness non-uniformity profile of the device surface is
provided on the device surface for etching. A dry etching method is used to remove part
of the mask to expose the underlying device surface and further removed the exposed
device surface until the thickness non-uniformity of the device surface falls within
tolerance of the device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for creating an
environment in a container that is suitable for growing anaerobic bacteria. The
device utilizes exothermic chemistry to deplete oxygen and drive the decomposition
of a bicarbonate present in the closed system. The decomposition of the
bicarbonate results in the release of carbon dioxide. The result of this exothermic
reaction and decomposition of the bicarbonate in the closed system results in a
suitable oxygen depleted, carbon dioxide enriched atmospheric environment for the
growth of anaerobic bacteria. The device is formed of an air permeable package
containing a heat generating composition and a bicarbonate. The air-permeable
package is contained within an outer wrap that forms an air barrier to the air-permeable
package. To activate the heat generating composition, the outer wrap is
removed to expose the air-permeable package to the oxygen within the container.

Abstract: A local oscillation FET has a source connecting pad (42), a
drain connecting pad (43) and a gate connecting pad (44). The
source connecting pad (42) occupies one corner of a substrate,
and the drain and gate connecting pads (43, 44) are
placed at the neighboring corners so that the three connecting
pads form an L shape on the substrate. As a modification
to this configuration, another source connecting pad is
placed at the remaining corner of the substrate so that the
drain and gate connecting pads are shielded from each other
by the two source connecting pads. These device configurations
contribute to size reduction of the local oscillation
FET.

Abstract: The method provides determination of optical faults esp. in refractive force, in disks of transparent material e.g. glass by analysis of a viewed image. The method involves projecting a defined pattern of at least two different light intensities esp. by illuminating a uniform pattern. The disk is arranged in the beam path of the projection. The pattern is imaged on a camera. A light and dark sequence of the pattern is imaged on each of a number of adjacent pixels of the camera. The number of pixels is a whole number multiple of the light and dark sequence. The pattern preferably includes equidistant opaque and transparent strips to generate a uniform light and dark sequence.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for screening for the presence of a
subpopulation of cancerous or precancerous cells in a heterogeneous cellular sample, such
as a stool sample. The methods take advantage of the recognition that cellular debris from
cancerous and precancerous cells is deposited onto only a longitudinal stripe of stool as the
stool is forming in the colon. Accordingly, methods of the invention comprise obtaining a
representative sample, such as a cross-sectional sample of stool in order to ensure that any
cellular debris that is shed by colonic cells is obtained in the sample.

Abstract: The present invention is related to optimizing software distribution in large communication networks (e.g. UMTS). A distribution graph including the nodes involved in the distribution spanned out by logical links assigned cost values is constructed. On basis of the distribution graph, the shortest paths from the distribution node (e.g. an OMC) to each of the other nodes (e.g. BSC, SGSN, RBS) are calculated. These paths are placed in groups of overlapping paths. The paths in each group are then ordered according to the number of nodes in each path, wherein the path with the lowest number of nodes is placed first. Then the software distribution is executed in each group, starting by loading the software from the first to the second node of the first ordered path, then the same is done for the second ordered path, and so on, but the loading between the same two nodes is not taking place more than once even if they appear as the first and the second node in more than one path. After reaching the last ordered path, the first node of each path in the group is removed. These loading and removing steps are repeated until all the nodes in the group are provided with the software.

Chaque noeud réagit à une défaillance d'un autre noeud sensiblement de la même manière. Un trafic entrant provenant d'une source externe est réacheminé à partir d'une interface de travail d'entrée/sortie vers une interface de protection, en vue d'établir un chemin pour le signal de protection. Des signaux sont envoyés entre des noeuds de manière à permettre aux deux noeuds de reprendre une communication. Seulement la partie de l'anneau de protection située entre des noeuds est mise en service.
