Patent EP-1217075-A2 (EP)
IPC: C12P5/02
Filed: 2001-01-09
Abstract: In a process to dispose of animal cadavers, the cadavers are minced and combined with a liquid e.g. water capable of fermentation. The mixture is then sterilized and converted to biogas that is used as fuel in a power generator. Residual liquid is released for further use. The pre-fermented mixture is mixed with other organic substances prior to fermentation. Sterilization takes place for 20 minutes at approximately 2.5 atmospheres and 135 degrees C.

Abstract: An electrophotographic image forming apparatus
comprises an amorphous silicon photosensitive drum
showing a rotation starting torque held lower than a
predetermined value (e.g., 0.39 N·m) in order to make
the produced images free from unevenness and no molten
developer would adhere to the photosensitive drum after
long use so that the drum can be prevented from being
scraped. The surface of the amorphous silicon
photosensitive drum 1 is electrically uniformly charged
and a laser beam LB is emitted from image exposure unit
3 to irradiate the surface of the photosensitive drum 1
and draw an electrostatic latent image there, which
electrostatic latent image is then developed by
developing unit 5, using toner. The image developed by
toner is then transferred onto a receiving material 11
by transfer charger 6. A plurality of line grooves are
formed on the outer peripheral surface of the drum-shaped
aluminum base member of the amorphous silicon
photosensitive drum 1 in parallel with each other
around the circumference and an amorphous silicon
photosensitive layer is formed on the surface thereof.
The surface roughness is defined by Ra = 0.08 to 0.12
µm.

Abstract: A rotary type transfer apparatus used in a continuous manufacturing
apparatus for spout-equipped bags. The transfer apparatus includes a
transfer rotor (25) and a driving device and installed next to an extraction
apparatus (11). The transfer rotor (25) has spout holding members (24) on

Abstract: L'invention concerne des attaches de suture, et des dispositifs de chargement, de distribution, de fermeture et de séparation d'attaches, comprenant aussi bien des versions à cathéter que des versions endoscopiques, et permettant la distribution et la pose d'attaches de suture par contact direct ou par rapprochement étroit avec le tissu suturé. Les versions à cathéter et les versions endoscopiques comprennent une cage de serrage comprenant une pluralité de doigts de serrage flexibles qui capturent un anneau et un bouchon mâle composant l'attache de suture pour les assembler avec une suture. Un manchon coulissant externe exerce une contrainte sur les doigts de la pince de serrage lorsqu'il est avancé dans la direction distale de manière à minimiser les traumatismes potentiels pendant la distribution et l'assemblage de l'attache de suture à proximité immédiate du tissu suturé. Une rétraction proximale du manchon coulissant associée à l'avancement distal d'un poussoir contre les surfaces de came situées sur les parois interne des doigts de serrage entraînent l'ouverture des doigts de serrage. Ce cathéter est conçu pour retenir et assembler l'attache de suture dans une première position et pour libérer l'attache de suture et trancher les extrémités de la suture du côté proximal de l'attache de suture dans une seconde position. L'invention concerne également des versions à poussoir unique et à deux étapes, et des versions à double poussoir et à trois étapes. L'invention concerne en outre des configurations d'attache de suture dans lesquelles les bouchons mâle comprennent des têtes adaptées à une utilisation avec un cathéter d'application d'attache de suture. L'invention concerne encore un dispositif de chargement d'attache de suture permettant de charger les composants des attaches de suture dans le système d'application ainsi qu'un système d'enfilage qui enfile les fils de suture dans les systèmes d'attache. L'invention concerne également un procédé de chargement, de distribution et de mise en place de ces attaches de suture.

known quantity. In general, the principle of wavelength shift for current drive
changes for LEDs is utilized in order to allow better calibration and added
flexibility in the use of LED sensors, particularly in applications when the precise
wavelength is needed in order to obtain accurate measurements. The present
invention also provides a system in which it is not necessary to know precise
wavelengths of LEDs where precise wavelengths were needed in the past.
Finally, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining
