Abstract: The invention refers to a device for separating a surface layer of a liquid by a container submerged in the liquid. The container includes a bottom, a wall member, connected to the bottom and having a variable length, and a separating member, which is connected to the wall member and communicates with a space in the container via an opening. An overflow portion of the separating member is located below a free liquid surface of the surface layer and permits the flowing of liquid. A discharge conduit extends from the space for liquid discharge. A floating member, connected to the separating member, floats on the liquid outside the container and exerts a lifting force upon the separating member in a direction prolonging the wall member. A submerging member is connected to the separating member and located below the over flow portion. The submerging member has a mass and exerts a downwardly directed force, so that the overflow portion is located below the free liquid surface, and a lifting force due to liquid pressure when the space has been filled with such a quantity of liquid that the submerging member partly is located in the liquid, wherein the overflow portion will be above the free liquid surface.

Abstract: An elevator device so designed that when a car (1) tries to lift/lower beyond predetermined limits in a shaft (10), the pulley (5) of a hoist (4) slips with respect to a traction rope (3). This ensures that even if the car (1) tries to lift/lower beyond the predetermined limits in the shaft (10), such lifting/lowering beyond the predetermined limits is prevented, thus preventing such drawbacks as deformation and damage to the components (1, 3, 4, 8) of the device.

Abstract: During an earthquake, escalators are subjected to longitudinal displacement, which may cause excessive movement of a bearing girder out of the supporting area and may result in the escalator crushing down. Securing elements in the form of bolts or ropes are provided to limit the movement of the bearing girder within the supporting area and prevent the escalator from crashing down. When ropes are utilized, they may be securely fixed to fastenings located on a supporting base by the manufacturer. On site, the ropes may be pulled through holes in the provided support and looped over a rope rod. The rope rod is located on a provided bracket. When, in the case of a catastrophe, the provided bracket is unable to withstand the forces, the rope rod is stopped at the hole without the escalator crashing down.

Abstract: The design solution of supporting surface of deck-chair, seat, back and arm-rest, summarises on the line of hard balls of various sizes, that are elastically linked together with stainless wires of ropes (inox-wire cables) inside hard supporting frame, to which they are fixed. The special arrangement of balls of various sizes on riding saddle principle enables an anatomic adjustment for more comfortable sitting. The assembly of balls elasticity is achieved by special way of linking balls, without using other elements with elastic qualities (for example, spring, lines, balls, and shock-absorbers). By design, this invention consists of three basic elements, where on the example of chair, seat (1), back (2) and arm-rest (3) are put together: (A) supporting frame (with the possible use of different profiles, with regard to material, dimensions and shape, mainly depending upon chosen design for aesthetic reason, and with holes that are put transversally in the direction of sitting/lying), (B) ball (of different diameter and material with a hole pierced through the middle of the ball), (C) connecting element (inox-wire cable with fixing device D).

Abstract: A method of protecting the integrity of a computer program running on a computer device includes a procedure of detecting whether or not an unauthorized modification of the address space of the program has occurred and terminating program execution if an authorized modification is detected and continuing program execution if no such modification has been detected. A communication method between at least two communication parties of a computing device includes the step of generating at each of the communication parties for every communication sequence at runtime a private key and a public key for a digital signature, making available the public key to the other communication parties and performing the communication between the communication parties using a digital signature based on the private and public keys. Both methods provide improved protection against possible violations of integrity and authenticity by malicious programs on a local computer system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is related to a method and test kits for quantitative determination of polynucleotide amounts present in a sample. The test kit comprises organized pools with polynucleotide probes having distinct sizes and optionally provided with tracer tags or primer tags. The probes are allowed to hybridize with affinity tagged analyte polynucleotides from the sample. The result is hybrids, which can be recovered on a separation aiding tool provided with the pair of the affinity tag. After the quantitative release of the probes, the probes are either directly recorded, or if primer tagged, they are amplified and optionally provided with a tracer tag before recording. The invention provides a sensitive and quantitative determination of the amount polynucleotides present in a cell or tissue sample and allows a quantitative assessment of variations in the amounts of polynucleotides as a response to inherent changes or due to external stimuli.

Abstract: An improved twin screw extruder device (14) is provided which is capable of producing a wide variety of high quality extrudates having greatly varying final properties, without the need for extensive machine modifications. The extruder (14) includes a barrel (16) together with a co-rotating twin screw assembly (22). The assembly (22) is made up of a pair of screws (50, 52) having central, tapered shafts (54, 56) equipped with outwardly extending helical flighting (58, 60); the screws (50, 52) are non-parallel and are positioned so that the flighting (58, 60) thereof is intercalated along the length of the screws (50, 52). The flighting is of specialized configuration and tapers along the length of the screws (50, 52) preferably at an angle of taper different than that of the shafts (54, 56); moreover, the width of the outer flighting surfaces (70, 72) increases along the length of the shafts (54, 56). This screw geometry defines a series of alternating upper and lower close-clearance high-pressure nip areas (78) defined by the flighting (58, 60) which serves to propel an extrudable mixture forwardly towards the outlet end (20) of the barrel (16). However, passageways (80) and kneading zones (82) are also defined between the screws (50, 52), which assures full mixing, shearing and cooking of the material. The extruder device (14) is capable of producing high density sinking aquatic feeds as well as expanded, low density products merely by changing the rotational speed of the screws (50, 52) together with appropriate temperature control. In another embodiment, a fluid extraction extruder (138) is provided having a specialized extruder head (140) including an outer shell (144) and an inner, elongated, slotted sleeve (152).

Granted: 2005-04-27
Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing an audio signal with regard to rhythm information of the audio signal by using an autocorrelation function comprises a filter bank for separating the audio signal into at least two sub-band signals. The sub-band signals are examined with regard to periodicities by an autocorrelation function, to obtain rhythm raw-information for the at least two sub-band signals. To reduce or eliminate the ambiguities of the autocorrelation function for periodical signals, the rhythm raw-information is postprocessed to obtain post-processed rhythm raw-information for the sub-band signal. The rhythm information of the audio signal is established based on the postprocessed rhythm raw-information. By the sub-band-wise ACF postprocessing, ACF ambiguities are already eliminated where they originate, and rhythm portions are added at double tempi, which an autocorrelation function processing does normally not provide, so that, as a result, a more robust determination of the rhythm information of the audio signal arises.
