Abstract: In a process for monitoring an object with an alarm detection unit allocated to the object and with an alarm central office, an alarm can be transmitted immediately from the alarm detection unit to the alarm central office over a digital data network without the need for costly dedicated lines because when an alarm is detected the calling party number of the decentralized alarm detection unit is transmitted as alarm information over the D channel of the ISDN network and the central office uses this calling party number to generate an alarm display before a connection has been established over the B channel of the ISDN network, for example in the form of an audio-video connection, to check the cause of the alarm.

Abstract: In the first stage the un-ground product is ground by impact pulverizer. The resultant grains are then graded by size into coarse and fine fractions. In the second stage the first coarse fraction is selectively ground by a combination of pressure and friction within a dry mixer pebble mill. In a process to enrich the protein content of cereals esp. grain and husk fruits, the ground fruits are winnowed into high-protein and low- protein fractions. In the first stage the un-ground product is ground by impact pulverizer. The resultant grains are then graded by size into coarse and fine fractions. In the second stage the first coarse fraction is selectively ground by a combination of pressure and friction within a dry mixer pebble mill. The resulting grains are then again graded into coarse and fine fractions. The protein content is raised to between 30 and 60 per cent of that of the starting product by appropriate choice of the grader settings in the first and second fine fractions. The resultant concentrate has 45 to 68 per cent dry weight protein.

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring a document (11) to determine the presence of an electrically conductive element (1a, 1b) on or in the document (1) as the document is fed along a path (2). The apparatus includes at least two detection systems (40, 41) laterally spaced apart with respect to the direction of movement of the document along the path. The detection systems include antennae (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) for generating and detecting signals which are modified in the presence of an electrically conductive element (1a, 1b). A control system (20) is connected to the detection systems (40, 41) for monitoring signals from the detection system. Furthermore, a document detector (42, 43) for each detection system (40, 41) is positioned upstream of and on the same side of the centre line of the document feed path (6) of the respective detection system (40, 41). Each document detector (43) is connected to the control system (20), with the control system (20) being responsive to signals from the document detectors (42, 43) to monitor the corresponding detection system (40, 41) in a predetermined manner. This takes account of a skew fed document (1) to indicate the presence of an electrically conductive element (1a, 1b) if the monitored signals satisfy predetermined conditions.

Abstract: This invention provides an inventive tissue sampling probe which offers many advantages over probes available in the prior art. Unexpectedly superior results are obtained in connection with the retrieval of intact tissue specimens, because of a unique combination of cutting features, including, for example, the employment of an electrosurgical cutting element and a vacuum assist in one preferred embodiment. A particularly important feature of the invention is the ability to manipulate the electrosurgical cutting element to cleanly sever the distal end of the tissue specimen. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished without any cutting impact on surrounding tissue. The versatility of the invention permits its use in many applications, including, for example, breast biopsies, laparoscopic surgery, and lymphadenectomy procedures.

Abstract: In a method for anisotropic etching of a structure in an electrically conductive substance to be etched, use is made of an etchant which in concentrated solution is usable for isotopic etching of structures in the substance to be etched. The substance to be etched is contacted with the etchant in a solution which is so diluted that the etchant is unusable for isotropic etching. The etchant is subjected, adjacent to the substance to be etched, to an electric field of such a strength that anisotropic etching of the substance to be etched is accomplished. Moreover, an etching fluid is described, comprising an etchant in dilute solution, in which the etchant is present in a concentration of 200 mM at most, and use of such an etching fluid for making structures which are 50 mum or less is also described.
