Abstract: The method involves use of continuously cast products (20) of forgeable steel quality and an approximately square cross section, with inclined corner regions (21), in the role of the initial material. At a forging heat above the transformation temperature, by continuous twist-free forming alternatingly in at least one two-roll stand and/or at least one four-roll stand, these products are subjected to a multistage reshaping process with a relatively small elongation and comparatively very high rolling forces to produce a rolled product with a compacted core. Also claimed is a corresponding rolling installation. Such an installation includes a preliminary rolling section consisting of at least some of the following forming facilities: (a) at least a two-stand block for preliminary sizing of the cast product; (b) at least one duo horizontal stand or duo vertical stand for smoothing the billet surface; (c) least one four-roll stand and (d) means for (preferably inductive) intermediate h eating of the rolled material.

Abstract: The present inventors have discovered that humans have a gene that encodes a novel protein of the thymosin  beta  family. This novel protein, herein referred to as thymosin  beta 15, has the ability to bind and sequester G-actin, like other members of the thymosin  beta  family, but unlike what is known about other members also directly regulates cell motility in prostatic carcinoma cells. A cDNA of the human thymosin  beta 15 gene (SEQ ID NO: 1) and having deduced the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2) was isolated. The present inventors have shown that the enhanced transcripts (mRNA) and expression of the thymosin  beta 15 gene in non-testicular cells has a high correlation to disease state in a number of cancers, such as prostate, lung, melanoma and breast cancer, particularly metastatic cancers. Accordingly, discovering enhanced levels of transcript or gene product in non-testicular tissues can be used in not only a diagnostic manner, but a prognostic manner for particular cancers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchange element (1) which is made up of a bag of a film material, such as plastic film, and to a heat exchanger made up of such heat exchange elements, the heat exchanger being suitable, for example, for the evaporation of effluents which contain solid matter, such as effluents from bleaching. The transfer of heat takes place in the bags (1) from a vapor condensing in the interior (3) of the bags to a liquid evaporating on their exterior surfaces (2). The forming evaporated vapor may be recycled via a compressor to the interior of the bags as heating vapor so that the heat exchanger will function as a distillation apparatus. According to the invention there is bonded inside the bag (1) a planar condensate-removal member, substantially narrower than the bag, for example, a circular disc (9) to which the forming condensate is arranged to flow and in which there is formed a hole (13) and at least one condensate outlet duct (8) leading to it, the film material of the bag being pierced in the area of the hole on each side of the condensate-removal member. In the heat exchanger, which has oppositely positioned bags (9) tied to form a pack, the condensate-removal members (9) are located one against another, and the apertures pierced in the film material form a condensate-collection duct common to them. The condensate-removal members being narrower than the bags enables the solid matter from the suspension being evaporated to be removed by falling through the spaces between the bottoms (10) of adjacent bags.

Abstract: A method for calibration of an IR spectrometry apparatus for providing and evaluating IR spectra in order to determine very low contents of specific components in a fluid, such as milk, and especially low contents of acetone, in a measuring range above 0, such as from 0.5 mM to 2.0 mM acetone in milk, using at least 50, such as from 50-300 known samples including at least 10 samples representing the fluid without any substantial content of the specific component for the calibration. Preferably, a good calibration for acetone shall be based on spectral information including the spectral ranges 1712-1697, 1419-1396, 1378-1353 and 1249-1226 cm-1, or at least a substantial portion/part of said ranges. By use of the new calibration of a FT-IR-spectrometry apparatus it will be possible to determine the acetone content during the sane IR measurement process used for determining other milk parameters such as fat and protein. In a similar way other small contents of a specified component in a fluid can be determined by use of a method according to the invention.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring properties of a liquid composition includes a mechanical resonator, such as a thickness shear mode resonator or a tuning fork resonator, connected to a measurement circuit. The measurement circuit provides a variable frequency input signal to the tuning fork, causing the mechanical resonator to oscillate. To test the properties of a liquid composition, the mechanical resonator is placed inside a sample well containing a small amount of the liquid. The input signal is then sent to the mechanical resonator and swept over a selected frequency range, preferably less than 1 MHz to prevent the liquid being tested from exhibiting gel-like characteristics and causing false readings. The mechanical resonator's response over the frequency range depends on various characteristics of the liquid being tested, such as the temperature, viscosity, and other physical properties. Particular mechanical resonators, such as tuning fork resonators, can also be used to measure a liquid composition's electrical properties, such as the dielectric constant and conductivity, because the tuning fork's structure allows a high degree of electrical coupling between the tuning fork and the surrounding liquid. The mechanical resonator can be covered with a coating to impart additional special detection properties to the resonator, and multiple resonators can be attached together as a single sensor to obtain multiple frequency responses. The invention is particularly suitable for combinatorial chemistry applications, which require rapid analysis of chemical properties for screening.

Abstract: A method for uniquely identifying a file, along with its particular version ID, used in an application program by a central processing unit provides a system for file security. The method computes a CRC for a file and then appends a version string and CRC at the end of the file according to its version ID. The added CRC/version record information is non-destructive. Once appended, the record will be transported with the file when ever it is moved or copied. CRC allows the integrity of the file to be verified at any time and is used to detect viruses or corrupted or tampered files at startup and also during runtimes of the file and its associated application. The operating system will store the new file length in a file allocation table and will also copy a file seal with the file. When used with a set of files for a particular installation, the file seal provides a unique bill of materials to identify the exact file contents of the particular installation. Down loadable files will then be compared with the allocation table to verify the version of the files and will provide error messages if they are not compatible with the installed system base.

Abstract: In the present invention, a partly duplexed conversion table is used as a conversion table for converting an M-bit based data string directly into an N-bit based code string without using margin bits. This conversion table is constituted by first and second sub-tables including plural code groups, respectively. The plural code groups include different codes for the same input data. The second sub-table is a table which is partly duplexed with the first sub-table and is produced by allocating different codes to data from first input data to second input data in the first sub-table. The first and second sub-tables are so designed that code sets of the duplexed portions take variants of digital sum variations which are opposite in sign. Codes are allocated to all the code groups in the duplexed portions of the first and second sub-tables with respect to input data sequentially from a code having a maximum absolute value of variant of the digital sum variation. Thus, according to the present invention, low frequency components of modulated signals may be restricted properly.
