Abstract: A thermally stable tryptophanase having (I) an optimum temperature for activity at a pH of 8.0 of about 70°C, and (2) such thermal stability that it is not thermally deactivated when maintained at temperatures up to about 65°C and a pH of 8.0 for 40 minutes. The thermally stable tryptophanase can be produced by cultivating in a tryptophan-containing culture medium a thermally stable tryptophanase-producing bacterium which does not grow alone in said medium but grows there in the presence of Bacillus sp. strain S, and obtaining the resulting thermally stable tryptophanase from the culture broth. The thermally stable tryptophanase-producing microorganism for use in the above process is a novel organism.

Abstract: A catheter introduced into the pulmonary artery for use in measuring cardiac output or blood flow velocity includes temperature sensing device including a temperature sensing element for sensing the temperature of blood in the pulmonary artery diluted by an indicator liquid infused for measurement of cardiac output based on a thermodilution method, and a self-heating thermistor for sensing a signal relating to blood flow velocity near the temperature sensing element, the signal being an equilibrium temperature sensed by the thermistor. The catheter is connected to a cardiac output measurement system adapted to measure cardiac output on the basis of the thermodilution method, measure the blood flow velocity which prevails when the cardiac output is measured, and obtain a parameter which links this blood flow velocity to the cardiac output measured in accordance with the thermodilution method. Once the parameter is found, merely measuring the blood flow velocity enables cardiac output to be determined from the flow velocity and the parameter.

Abstract: A knowledge base processor is callable by an application program to access a knowledge base and to govern the execution or interpretation of the knowledge base to find the values of selected objects or expressions defined in the knowledge base. The application program is written in a conventional computer language which specifies control by the ordering of program steps. The application program provides a user interface for input/output and provides top level control for calling the knowledge base processor to find values for goal expressions. During its search for the values of goal expressions, the knowledge base processor calls the application program to determine values of expressions which are not -concluded by the knowledge base, and to signal important events during the execution of the knowledge base. Preferably the knowledge base processor and the application program each include a library of subroutines which are linked-loaded to provide a complete knowledge system for a specific application ortask. Therefore, the knowledge base processor provides the essential functions for symbolic reasoning, and establishes a framework for building the knowledge system which permits application program developers to exploit the best available conventional data processing capabilities. The application programmer is free to exercise his or her knowledge and skill regarding the use of conventional programming languages and their support facilities such as utility libraries, optimizing compilers and user interfaces.

Abstract: To obtain a waterproof transition between the roofing frame of a rooflight and the roof, lead aprons are used. For this, the material is unwound downwards from relatively large rolls, starting from the frame, and is then stretched in order to match it to the shape of the roof tiles. For this purpose, the material is pressed clean into the recess of the tiles by means of a fold, and often cracks, through which water can penetrate, occur in the lead apron. Since the lead apron is exposed directly to the weather, the lead disintegrates over the years, and therefore a greater thickness than is actually necessary has to be chosen at the outset. In addition, a disintegrated lead apron has an unpleasant appearance and is seen as a foreign body on the roof. The new roofing frame for windows, doors or the like is to be designed in such a way that the danger of cracks in the lead apron is reduced and a permanent decorative appearance becomes possible, whilst at the same time preventing lead secretions as a result of weathering. A further object is to prevent harmful lead secretions as a result of weathering and consequently to improve environmental protection in roof coverings, facades and auxiliary materials for sealing transitions in roof, wall and corner connections. The roofing frame of rooflights, doors or the like consists of a ridge, a breastplate, two flashings and a lead apron which is covered with at least one aluminium layer. Roofing frames of rooflights, doors or the like and lead strips of any kind for roof coverings, facade claddings or auxiliary materials for roofs and walls. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system (9) for processing data matrices such as images and spatially related data includes a plurality of neighborhood processing units (10a-10n; 30a-30h) connected in a linear chain with direct data communication links (11a-11n, 21a-21n) between adjacent processing units. A sequence of instructions are sent to the processing units by a single controller (27), whereby all neighborhood processing units in the system receive the same instruction at any given cycle in the instruction sequence. The width of the data matrix array is the same as a number of processors, so that there is one processor per column in the data matrix. The memory (13a-13n) associated with each processor (10a-10n) is external and large enough to hold the entire image or data matrix. The processors are able to operate arithmetically in a serial or parallel mode, where an efficient means is provided to transpose 8 x 8 bit submatrices between the two modes. An indirect addressing arrangement (43h, 55h, 130, 131) is provided which operates on byte-wide memories (13a-­13h; 132) external to the processing units (130).

Filed: 1988-02-19
Abstract: Fusion bonded wall structures, particularly structures for use in components of internal combustion engines exposed to hot gases, are formed by fusion bonding molten particles zones of respective materials having significantly different coefficients of thermal expansion, for example, metals and ceramics and by using a transition zone of both such materials between the zones of the two materials. Such structures may be utilized to form passages and may be incorporated into a body by forming a wall structure on an aluminum coated core and casting metal about the core. The core is preferably first coated with aluminum before forming the wall structure. Structures of wear material and a metal may be formed in a similar manner for use in wear applications, e.g. valve guides. Porous materials such as insulating ceramics are sealed with aluminum to protect against penetration by undesirable agents.

Abstract: The heat-insulating engine structure (10) according to the invention comprises fitting a ceramic head liner (1) for which a cylinder liner top (3) and a head lower surface portion (2) are unified structurally in a cylinder head, coating an outer surface of the cylinder liner top of the head liner with a heat insulating laminate (4) with a metallic sheet and a heat insulating material (19) with potassium titanate as a principal component wound up spirally by turns with a compressive force exerted thereon, thus enhancing strength or pressure resistance, forming a wall of the head liner as thin as possible to minimize a thermal capacity of the head liner, thereby enhancing suction efficiency and cycle efficiency. Further, heat insulation efficiency is enhanced all the more by disposing the heat insulating laminate having air layers between the head liner and the cylinder head. 
     Then, the manufacturing method for the heat insulating engine structure according to the inven­tion comprises heating the metallic sheet for thermal expansion, placing the heat insulating material on the metallic sheet, winding up spirally the metallic sheet on which the heat insulating   material is placed to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder liner top of the ceramic head liner, exerting a compressive force on the cylinder liner top by contraction of the metallic sheet thereafter, thereby ensuring the structure that withstands high pressures despite the thin-walled head liner.

Abstract: A coin (1) is tested for its thickness by bouncing a wave packet of ultrasound off the surface (1′) of the coin, and timing the arrival of an identifiable element (7) of the reflected wave packet at a sound receiver (Rx). A zero-crossing point (7) of the reflected wave packet is used as the element, and is detected by converting the output (B) of the receiver (Rx) into a rectangular waveform (C) by using a comparator (8), and then using a microcomputer (10) with a timing function to time a particular edge of the rectangular wave. A flip-flop (11) is armed by an arm signal (D) from the microcomputer to await receipt of that pulse edge, and the time of clearing of the flip-flop is measured by the microcomputer to determine the coin thickness. 
     Measurements are also periodically made with no coin present of the position of the coin support surface (2) to take account of any change in position of the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx).

Abstract: A technique is described for animating graphics objects (sprites) on a display. The display manager allows a user to select a sprite from the display or from a sprite table. Then the user selects the operation to perform on the sprite. Enabled operations include hiding the sprite, showing the sprite, redefining the sprite, placing the sprite or moving the sprite. The move operation allows the user to make the sprite the current cursor character and move it around the display under the control of the mouse. Any of the operations may be performed on the selected sprite. The operations are recorded for the user to later playback. Additionally, the user can select other sprites and perform additional operations on them. In this way, the user can interactively create an animated display consisting of multiple sprites. As the user creates the various sprite operations, he or she can play them back at any time to see how they appear and edit the operations to tailor them to the user's needs.
