Abstract: According to the invention, the existence of residual pressure in the braking system is determined by means of continuous  rough  monitoring of the pressure in said system. If the existence of said residual pressure is established, then a fine monitoring process is carried out several times, whereby a pressure relieving body in the braking system is opened and sensed in order to determine whether the actual pressure is decreasing and if so to what extent.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détection de pluralités de séquences d'acides nucléiques qui consiste à former et à couper des structures duplex à l'aide de deux sondes marquées d'une étiquette électrophorétique. Le clivage des structures duplex libère les étiquettes électrophorétiques lesquelles sont ensuite séparées et identifiées pour indiquer la présence ou la quantité de séquences cibles. Cette invention est particulièrement appropriée pour les réactions multiplex dans lesquelles les séquences cibles multiples sont détectées en une seule réaction. L'invention concerne en outre des kits utilisés pour détecter les acides nucléiques.

Title: Recycling of waste expanded polystyrene foams to give products which may be re-expanded
Inventor: MAEURER ANDREAS
IPC: C08J11/08
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of re-expandable polystyrene by material recycling of waste expanded polystyrenes. The expanded polystyrene waste is dissolved in a solvent, selected from di-(lower alkylene)glycol di-(lower alkyl) ethers, where lower alkyl = straight- or branched-chain C1 - C12 alkyl, mono- or di-carboxylate di-(lower alkyl) esters with a straight- or branched- carboxylate chain length of C1 - C12, where lower alkyl has the meaning given for the glycol ether, THF, ketones, mixtures of the above solvents and mixtures of said solvents with ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, cyclohexane and/or rapeseed oil methyl ester. The polystyrene solution is precipitated using a precipitating agent which has a polarity lower than the employed solvent and the precipitated polystyrene is optionally partly dried, such that the blowing agent incorporated in the polystyrene is not removed. Finally the precipitated polystyrene can be re-expanded by means of a heat-carrier.

Abstract: A method for the detection of cytosine methylation in immobilised DNA samples is disclosed. In the first method step the genomic DNA is isolated from cells or other associated material and boned essentially irreversibly to a surface. The DNA bonded to the surface is then preferably treated with a bisulphite such that cytosine is converted into a base different from the base pairing relationship in the DNA duplex, whilst 5-methylcytosine remains unaltered. The used reagents are then removed in a washing step. Finally, selected sections of the immobilised DNA are amplified in a polymerase reaction and the amplificate examined with regard to the sequence thereof.

Abstract: To set the position of one roller (21) against another roller (22) in a printing press, for adjustment and/or on installation/dismantling, at least two actuators are used which work in different directions. One actuator (34) uses a pressure hose to exert a radial force in one direction, and a spring (43) applies the radial force in the opposite direction as a plate spring packet. The opening angle between the two actuators on the same roller exerts the same aligned radial forces on both rollers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for monitoring optical
signal to noise ratio (OSNR) in a wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission
system. The present invention utilizes a polarization nulling method and a tunable optical
bandpass filter in order to reliably monitor the OSNR by considering a finite polarization
nulling ratio, polarization mode dispersion and non-linear birefringence of the optical
system in real time measurement of the OSNR. Further, the tunable optical bandpass filter
is controlled to filter all wavelength bands of wavelength division multiplexed signals.
Since the invention may monitor a plurality of demultiplexed optical signals with a single
apparatus, the overall cost of the OSNR monitoring equipment is significantly reduced.

Abstract: Correlation between images and photography locations thereof is facilitated when generating an album of images photographed during a trip. Map data sets are stored in a storage means of an album generation support server. A user accesses the album generation support server from a personal computer to request album generation. Screens for transmitting image data sets and for prompting input of data that specifies a travel route are displayed at the personal computer. The user inputs data regarding a departure point, a departure time, a final destination, etc., and transmits the image data sets to the album generation support server. An album generation server generates travel route data representing the user's travel route based on the input data, estimates locations along the travel route where the image data sets were photographed based on time data attached thereto, and generates album data by correlating the image data sets with a map.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, chaque table dans un restaurant présente un commutateur couplé à un émetteur sans fil. Lorsque le commutateur est activé, l'émetteur diffuse un signal de table vacante. Le signal de table vacante est reçu par un récepteur couplé à un système informatique. L'ordinateur répond à un signal de table vacante par identification d'une table particulière en tant que vacante, qui sera ensuite prête pour qu'une personne puisse s'attabler. L'ordinateur est programmé pour représenter chaque table dans le restaurant par une icône. L'ordinateur peut être programmé pour présenter une table dans un des trois états suivants : (1) vacante, (2) occupée, (3) bientôt vacante par anticipation. Lorsqu'une personne est assise à une table particulière, ce fait est entré dans l'ordinateur, et ce dernier présente la table comme occupée. La table est considérée comme occupée jusqu'à ce qu'un ou deux événements se produisent. Si la personne quitte la table, la table sera alors desservie, puis le circuit commutateur/émetteur situé sur la table sera activé. En réponse, l'émetteur transmet un signal de table vacante, et l'ordinateur présente la table comme vacante. De plus, une table peut être retournée à un état vacant par commande manuelle, laquelle est effectuée sur l'ordinateur. En variante, si le temps d'occupation de la table dépasse un seuil, l'ordinateur s'appuiera sur l'inférence que la personne va bientôt partir. De ce fait, l'ordinateur présentera la table comme bientôt vacante, de manière anticipée.
