Patent EP-1062138-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ARNTZEN JOHN
IPC: E02B3/20
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: A terminal and system for the automatic computerized unloading of containerized cargo from container ships to trucks, railroad cars, other ships and storage. The terminal system is equipped to store or transfer unloaded cargo automatically by using independent container transfer vehicles. The cargo ships are moored between quays of a terminal building constructed in or adjacent to a waterway. Independent container transfer vehicles on an overhead transverse beam system lift a container up and away from a ship transfer to the elevated ground rail system without changing orientation, and then shuttle on elevated ground conveyance rails to other areas of the terminal to distribute the container to the pertinent transportation system (railcar, truck, another ship, or storage). Containers can also be unloaded from trucks and railroad cars and transported to a berthed ship utilizing the same transportation system. Remotely controlled docking modules may be used to guide an incoming ship into the quay and to assist in engaging the ship's hull onto a bow mooring assembly. Side fenders positioned in the quay moor the ship and maintain its position within the dock during cargo transfers. A rapid fueling system refuels the ships. The terminal can be located on land or offshore in any navigable waterway with either an access tunnel or a causeway for truck and rail access from land.

Abstract: This invention relates to confectioneries, and particularly reduced fat chocolates comprising an admixture of non-fat chocolate ingredients in accordance with specified particle size distribution formulae, and the method of preparation thereof. Controlling particle packing, using continuous particle size ingredient distributions and discrete, bi-modal particle size ingredient distributions, has been shown to be useful for achieving highly concentrated chocolate suspensions, having reduced fat concentrations and suitable rheology for moulding, enrobing or extrusion. The methods of this invention are also useful for providing conventional chocolates (25% or greater fat content) having good rheological characteristics, while reducing cocoa butter usage. Specified particle size distributions are achieved through the selective blending of fine, medium and coarse ingredients. The continuous particle size distributions and bi-modal particle size distributions provide several parameters for manipulating the rheological properties of chocolate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement de données, permettant de récupérer des données numériques reçues dans un signal analogique émis. Selon l'invention, le signal reçu est numérisé, et un seuil est déterminé dans un calculateur de seuil (LVEST). L'interférence du canal est corrigée dans un égaliseur adaptatif (ADEQ) aval, et un synchronisateur de bits (DPLL) produit la cadence d'échantillonnage correcte et une phase pour les données d'une ligne. Le calculateur est utilisé pour déterminer la valeur moyenne du signal d'entrée pour chaque ligne, puis cette valeur est prise comme valeur de décision optimale pour l'échantillonnage des bits de données de la ligne. En utilisant un égalisateur adaptatif, il est possible de corriger différents types de distorsions, provoquées par le canal de transmission, sans avoir besoin d'un signal d'apprentissage. Le dispositif de traitement de données de l'invention peut donc être utilisé, de manière universelle, par exemple pour tous les signaux numériques supplémentaires qui apparaissent dans un signal de télévision.

Abstract: A method of making a weathering grade steel plate includes the steps of establishing a minimum yield strength plate thickness target from one of 344MPa (50KSI) up to 10.16cms (4'), 447MPa (65KSI) up to 3.81cms (1.5'), and 481MPa (70KSI) up to 3.17cms (1.25'). A modified weathering grade alloy composition is cast into a slab employing effective levels of manganese, carbon, niobium, vanadium, nitrogen, and titanium. The cast slab is heated and rough rolled to an intermediate gauge plate. The intermediate gauge plate is controlled rolled and subjected to one of air cooling or accelerated cooling depending on the minimum yield strength and thickness target. With the controlled alloy chemistry, rolling and cooling, the final gauge plate exhibits discontinuous yielding and can be used for applications requiring a 481MPa (70KSI) minimum yield strength in plate thicknesses up to 3.17cms (1.25'), a 447MPa (65KSI) minimum yield strength in plate thickness up to 3.81cms (1.50') and a 344MPa (50KSI) minimum yield strength for plates as thick as 10.16cms (4').

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically sorting translucent object data in a 3-dimensional computer shading texturing system first stores a list of objects to be shaded and textured. For each pixel, for each object in turn, it is determined whether an object in the list is further from an image plane than a current deepest object for that pixel. Data is stored for at least the deepest object in the list. The pixel is then shaded and textured for this object and the stored object is then discarded from the list. This is repeated until pixels have been shaded for all objects in the list.

Abstract: Disclosed is a specific regulator of Ii protein expression or immunoregulatory function. Specifically disclosed are several forms of the specific regulator of Ii, including those which function through the formation of a duplex molecule with an RNA molecule encoding mammalian Ii protein to inhibit Ii protein synthesis at the translation level. This class includes copolymers comprised of nucleotide bases which hybridize specifically to the RNA molecule encoding mammalian Ii protein, and also expressible reverse gene constructs. In other aspects, the disclosure relates to MHC class II-positive antigen presenting cells containing a specific regulator of Ii expression. Such cells are useful, for example, in the display of autodeterminant peptides in association with MHC class II proteins. Compositions of the invention find application in methods for treating diseases, for example malignancies and autoimmune disorders, in a patient by enhancing immunological attack on undesired cells. An additional application is the isolation of autodeterminant peptides from a cell.
