Abstract: The chip card includes at least a semiconductor chip which includes a memory (1). A controllable switching element (9) goes into a rest state when it is not being controlled. In the rest state the memory is switched for data transmission. Only when a voltage, controlled by the logic switch (8) is present at the supply voltage contact (21) is the memory connected to the contacts.

Abstract: A matrix addressable display includes a delay locked loop formed from a delay chain formed from several variable delay blocks and a comparator. The delay locked loop receives a horizontal sync portion of an image signal and propagates the horizontal sync through the chain of delay blocks. The output of the last delay block drives the comparator that also receives an undelayed horizontal sync component. The comparator compares the undelayed horizontal sync to the delayed horizontal sync component and produces an error signal corresponding to the phase difference. The error signal is input to each of the delay blocks. In response to the error signal, the delay of the respective delay blocks increases or decreases to reduce the phase difference between the undelayed horizontal sync component and the delayed sync component. In addition to driving the delay chain, the horizontal sync component also walks a "1" through a row driver to sequentially activate rows of the array.

Abstract: This invention concerns a process for separating low density plastic fractions, particularly of a density under 1 g/cm<3>, in a process liquid, the density of which can be adjusted by mixing components of differing densities. The aim of the invention is economically acceptable separation of high quality fractions, particularly of PP and PE, under acceptable work and safety conditions. To that effect, the process is organized so that the process liquid is obtained by mixing components of differing densities which come from at least one of the following groups of synthetic esters: a) palmitate esters (average density of 0.86 g/cm<3>), b) esters of a fatty acid mix (average density of 0.88 g/cm<3>), c) fatty acid methyl esters (average density of 0.93 g/cm<3>), d) dicarboxylic acid esters (average density of 0.96 g/cm<3>).

Abstract: Controlled-release oral drug dosage forms that comprise a tablet or capsule containing a plurality of particles of a solid-state drug dispersed in a swellable/erodible polymer, such as poly(ethylene oxide) are described. Once ingested, the tablet or capsule disintegrates to disperse the particles within the stomach where they imbibe water to cause them to swell and promote retention in fed-mode-induced patients. As the gastric-retained dosage form gradually erodes, the drug is released in a controlled manner to the stomach for treatment of local disorders, and to the upper gastrointestinal tract where it becomes available for absorption in a controlled and therapeutic manner. Drug containing vesicles, such as liposomes or nanoparticles or enteric-coated drugs particles, can also be delivered to the gastrointestinal tract in a controlled manner using the gastric-retentive dosage forms of the present invention.

Abstract: A microphone capsule for an in-the-ear hearing aid is disclosed. The capsule can include a top plate having first and second spaced openings defining front and rear sound inlets, and a directional microphone cartridge enclosing a diaphragm. The diaphragm is oriented generally perpendicular to the top plate and divides the directional microphone cartridge housing into a front chamber and a rear chamber. A front sound passage communicates between the front sound inlet and the front chamber, and a rear sound passage communicates between the rear sound inlet and the rear chamber. Front and rear acoustic damping resistors are associated with the front and rear sound passages. The acoustic resistor pair provides a selected time delay, such as about 4 microseconds, between the front and rear sound passages. The use of two acoustic resistors instead of one levels the frequency response, compared to the frequency response provided by a rear acoustic damping resistor alone.

Abstract: The present invention describes a simple and inexpensive purification method for acid-stable fungal alpha-amylase wherein the alpha-amylase is obtained without significant loss of enzyme activity. The purified acid-stable alpha-amylase which is obtained is substantially free from glucoamylase. The method for obtaining an acid-stable alpha-amylase comprises the steps of   adjusting the pH of the enzyme containing solution to a value between 1 and 8, heating the solution to a temperature and for a time sufficient to inactivate glucoamylase,   removing the denatured glucoamylase. The purified acid-stable alpha-amylase is used for the conversion of starch. The purified alpha-amylase is also used in an immobilized form.

Abstract: This improved screening apparatus for sorting various size aggregates utilizes a screen made of polyurethane having two sets of perpendicular evenly spaced parallel webs each of which enclose a wire provided for reinforcement. If desired, the reinforcing wires can be single or multiple through either one or through both sets of webs. Web segments extend between web intersections. Areas enclosed by opposed adjacent web segments provide for the screen openings. This area can contain either a single hole or a plurality of holes to provide a number of different screen sizes. The holes increase in cross-section from the screen aggregate input side to the output side to eliminate or greatly minimize particles wedging within the holes. Backing bucker bars of various widths attached to the lower side of the screen provide a predetermined screen cross-section when their lower edges are supported horizontally. Hooks attached to opposite sides of the screen by bolts, arranged to engage mating mounting brackets, permit applying varying tension to the screen by tightening nuts which secure the bolts. <IMAGE>
