Abstract: A method for filling a muffler with a fibrous material is disclosed. The muffler includes partitions which form a first chamber and second chamber, and a first muffler pipe having an outlet end. A filling aperture at one end of the second muffler pipe is positioned in the first muffler chamber. The second muffler pipe has a filling sleeve therein, the filling sleeve having a filling discharge opening that coordinates with the filling aperture of the second muffler pipe. The first muffler chamber is filled with fibrous material by applying a vacuum source to the first muffler pipe, which draws the fibrous material through the filling aperture. The filling aperture of the second muffler pipe is then positioned into the second muffler chamber, and the second muffler chamber is filled in the same manner as the first muffler chamber.

Abstract: An FSK modulator 20 applies FSK modulation processing to an RF wave supplied from an RF wave oscillator 22, by means of frequency shift keying (FSK) based on a periodical signal sequence supplied from a pattern generator 24, to thereby generate an FSK continuous wave. The continuous wave output from the FSK modulator 20 is delayed in delay circuits 26I and 26Q and is then supplied, as a reference signal, to each of mixers of a receiving mixer 30. Each of the delay circuits 26I and 26Q delays the continuous wave by a delay amount in accordance with a depth of a target position and outputs a delayed reference signal. Thus, demodulation processing is performed with a correlation between a reception signal from the target position and the reference signal being enhanced, and Doppler information from the target position is selectively extracted by a Doppler information analyzing unit 44.

Abstract: Culturing Streptococcus agalactiae in a nutrient broth containing at least 10 g l of glucose while maintaining the pH at 6-8 by the addition of alkaline material produces polysaccharide antigen including a fraction having a molecular size from 8-11 x 10<sup>5</sup>d. By employing a broth free from constituents having a molecular size above 10<sup>5</sup>, the antigens can be separated from the broth in high yield after harvesting the organisms. Vaccination of humans with Streptococcus agalactiae polysaccharide antigens having molecular sizes above 5 x 10' produces in selected individuals specific antibody levels above 200 µg ml of antisera; globulins fractionated from such antisera contain most of the antibody and can be used for passive immunization.

Abstract: Magnetic flux is induced in the tape (10) by applying a magnetic field to the tape. Where there is a perforation (12) or a crack (14) air gaps are created and magnetic flux (15, 18) radiates outwardly from the tape across these air gaps. The presence of the crack (14) is detected by sensing the radiating flux (15, 18) at two distances from the tape. At one distance (30), close to the tape, the total flux is the sum of the flux from the crack and the perforation. At the other distance (32), further from the tape, the flux is solely that produced by the perforation. A coil (36, 38) is placed at each position to sense the flux. The tape (10) is moved, which causes the flux (15, 18) to intersect the coils (36, 38). The intersection produces an output signal (40) from each coil (36, 38). The signal (40) produced by the coil (38) further from the tape is subtracted from the signal (40) produced by the coil (36) closer to the tape; the difference being a signal (58) caused by the additional flux produced by the crack (14). An alarm (94) is sounded and an indicator (88) lights when the signal is present.
