Abstract: An adhesive composition having dispersed therein a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for use in medical applications, such as an adhesive for surgical drapes, wound dressings and tapes. The adhesive is composed of acrylic polymers, tackifiers and a preferred antimicrobial agent, diiodomethyl-p-tolylsulfone. The adhesive composition is essentially solventless and capable of application in a hot melt process while maintaining stability at elevated temperatures in the range of 275 DEG F to 350 DEG F, which not only allows hot melt application, but allows for ethylene oxide sterilization under heat stress.

Abstract: A scalable method for the production of highly purified plasmid DNA in Escherichia coli is described, which method includes growing plasmid-containing cells to a high biomass in exponential growth and lysing the cells by raising the pH of the culture to a carefully controlled pH value in which chromosomal DNA is denatured but plasmid DNA is reversibly renatured. The method has been developed for the production of pharmaceutical grade DNA for use in in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy.

Abstract: The method involves allowing the subscriber to inform the operator of a limited number of destination address numbers, for which a special accounting tariff is to used. The subscriber places an individually selected destination address number in a database service node, with selection of a network internal service identity. A short call number associated with the address number can be selected by the subscriber as often as required. Subsequently the destination address number is identified and used to set up a link. All of the speech exchanged under the short number is accounted at the associated special tariff.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'optimiser l'accès mémoire, lequel procédé détermine la méthode d'accès convenant pour chaque accès mémoire et exécute l'optimisation de préchargement et l'optimisation de préextraction en fonction du résultat du processus de détermination. Ce procédé fait appel à une architecture dans laquelle un mécanisme de préextraction écrit les données d'une mémoire centrale dans une mémoire cache et un mécanisme de préchargement écrit les données de la mémoire centrale dans un registre sans les écrire dans la mémoire cache. L'étape de détermination de la méthode d'accès mémoire analyse si un utilisateur a désigné une méthode d'accès mémoire ou non. En outre, cette étape effectue des recherches afin de découvrir si les données se trouvent déjà dans la mémoire cache ou non, si les données sont en concurrence avec d'autres données pour entrer dans la mémoire cache, si les données devront être à nouveau utilisées par la suite ou non, et si les données respectent les restrictions liées aux ressources du registre ou non.

Abstract: A meat encasing machine has a looper horn, linking chain and conveyor which, prior to production, have home positions which are determined. A pulsed signal is generated as the looper horn rotates and is transmitted to an amplifier from an encoder on the servo motor for the looper horn and the conveyor. The output pulse signal is then reduced in frequency so that it can be read by a PLC. The PLC counts the pulses in the signal and can determine the relative position of the looper horn based on the count and can therefore minimize the rotation of the looper horn in the home position at the beginning of each new cycle. The meat encasing machine may also be controlled such that the linking chain, looper, and conveyor have no direct mechanical or electrical interaction between each other. By driving the components with separate servo motors, each can be precisely controlled in the desired ratios with respect to each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sponge cloth based on cellulose and having an internal reinforcement, obtainable by the amine oxide process. In the process, a solution of cellulose in an aqueous amine oxide is first produced, which is then mixed with at least one pore former and fibers. The mixture is spread on a conveyor belt which is then guided through a coagulating bath comprised of a diluted aqueous amine oxide solution whose temperature is high enough such that the pore former melts and is dissolved out. Remaining amine oxide is washed out. After subsequent drying the sponge cloth layer is end-itemed. Contrary to the viscose process polymer degradation does not occur in the inventive process which results in a sponge cloth having an improved mechanical stability. A plastic net can replace the fiber reinforcement. The process is especially ecological and economical. The sponge cloth is highly water-absorbent and can be used for household or industrial purposes, especially for cleaning and decontaminating purposes.
