Patent EP-0661408-A3 (EP)
Title: Multi-functional concrete girder.
Inventor: MUELLER ANDREAS
IPC: E04C3/20
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: In order to produce a building by the skeleton construction method, the invention proposes a multifunctional concrete girder (10) which comprises a longitudinal panel (11) with three parallel longitudinal ribs (12, 13, 14) connected integrally thereto. All the longitudinal ribs (12-14) are of the same height. An on-edge, relatively thin longitudinal rib (12) defines, together with a central, thickened longitudinal rib (13), a warm-air duct (15), while said thickened longitudinal rib (13) defines, together with a second longitudinal rib (14) which is offset inwardly from the other longitudinal border, a conduit (16). The remaining space on the surface of the longitudinal panel (11) forms a floor-beam rest (17). Floor beams made of any material may be rested on said floor-beam rest (17). The warm-air duct (15) is closed to the top by means of a plurality of covering panels (20). The covering panels (20) exhibit heat-conducting ribs (22) which project into the warm-air duct (15). By virtue of this design of multifunctional concrete girders, which, adjoining an installation tower of the building, run along the exterior building line, a building of the skeleton construction type can be subdivided in any manner at any time. This applies not only to areas in offices, commercial buildings or residential buildings, but also to the installation of bathroom units. <IMAGE>

Title: VOX remote unit control in a cellular system.
Inventor: BONTA JEFFREY
IPC: H04W74/06
Filed: 1988-01-11
Abstract: FIGs. 3A-3F illustrate a method in a radio communications system of measuring signal quality from a remote unit having a voice operated transmitter (VOX) to execute a handoff of the remote unit. The signal quality of a signal received from the remote unit at a fixed station is measured (422, 424, 426, 428, 452, 454, 456, 458) to determine whether a handoff is to be conducted based upon said signal quality of the signal received from the remote unit. If so required, a handoff request is then sent from the fixed station to at least one surrounding fixed station. In response thereto, an audit request is transmitted (438) to the remote unit from said fixed station. In response to said audit request, a response signal (503) is transmitted at the remote unit for a predetermined period of time. A measurement of signal quality of said response signal is made (454, 456, 458) from said remote unit after said audit request transmission at the at least one surrounding fixed station. The remote unit is then handed-off from the fixed station to the at least one surrounding fixed station. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Process for production of protein
Inventor: YABUTA MASAYUKI
IPC: C12N15/62
Filed: 1995-09-06
Abstract: A process for the production of a desired polypeptide comprising the steps of: (1) transforming host cells with an expression vector comprising a gene coding for a fusion protein comprising a desired polypeptide and a protective polypeptide; (2) culturing the transformed host cells so as to express said gene to produce a fusion protein; and (3) excising the desired polypeptide from the fusion protein with a protease intrinsic to the host cells. A large amount of a desired polypeptide can be produced at a low cost. Especially according to the present invention, a large amount of S. aureus V8 protease can be efficiently produced at low cost using a safe host as E. coli according to gene recombination procedures.

Abstract: Es wird ein Brennstoff-System beschrieben, dessen Brennkraftmaschine sowohl
mit Benzin als auch mit komprimiertem Erdgas betrieben werden kann. 
     Das System weist einen Crash-Sensor auf, der ab bestimmten Verzögerungswerten
anspricht und dabei von Erdgasbetrieb auf Benzinbetrieb umschaltet. 
     Dadurch wird im Falle eines Crashs das mit einem unter Umständen höheren
Schadensrisiko einzustufende Erdgas-System abgeschaltet und auf das Benzin-System
mit dem geringen Schadensrisiko umgeschaltet. Auch im Falle einer
Fehlauslösung des Crash-Sensors kann das Fahrzeug weiterbetrieben werden, da
die Versorgung der Brennkraftmaschine mit Benzin weiter aufrechterhalten bleibt.

Abstract: It is known to separate photographic
effluent into solid and liquid phases for disposal.
Described herein is an apparatus (10) and method for
treating photographic effluent which utilises a
sedimentation tank (14). The sedimentation tank (14)
allows the solid phase to settle out of the effluent
to produce a boundary between the settling solid and
generally liquid material, the liquid phase being
removed from the tank (14) through outlet means (42,
54). As the boundary approaches the upper part of the
tank (14), the contents thereof are pumped through
filter means (22, 26) to separate the solid from the
liquid.

Abstract: A printing apparatus comprises a main control circuit
(1), an image forming section (10), an interface (8) for
communicating with an external host system (9), and an
operation panel (20) including operating switches. The
apparatus further comprises power cutoff circuits (32) and
(33) for interrupting a power supply to the image forming
section (10) in response to a command from the main control
circuit (1). In the case where a signal input is applied
from the operation panel (20) for designating the power
saving mode while the printing data is being transmitted
from the external host system (9), the transmission data
from the external host system (9) are all received and
discharged. The power saving mode is started after
discharging the data. An erroneous operation can thus be
prevented in starting or canceling the power saving mode.

Abstract: A sheet separating and feeding device (10) for use
as a component of a sheet processing apparatus is
disclosed in which a first feeding device (24) acts on
the top of a stack of sheets to feed the top sheet toward
a take away feeder (70) for removal from the stack,
during which a retaining device (26) applies a force to
the upper surface of the exposed trailing edge portion of
the next to top sheet to apply a retaining force thereto
and to the rest of the stack, and simultaneously lifts
the first feeding device (24) off of the top sheet to
remove the normal force from the weight of this device
from the stack. When the top sheet is entirely removed
from the stack, the first feeding device (24) is lowered
to engage the new top sheet and the retaining force is
removed therefrom so that it can now be fed to the take
away feeder (70).

Patent EP-0827113-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HAMBURG MARK
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: A system for providing a "copy on write" function for
images represented as tiles such that creation of a new
"target" version of an existing "source" image is
performed by (1) allocating memory for a set of target
image tiles corresponding to the tiles in the source
image; and (2) using a special flag associated with each
of the tiles of the target image to indicate a linkage
(directly or indirectly) between corresponding tiles in
the source image and the target image until such time as
changes are made in the target image tiles or the target
image is to be finalized. The invention eliminates or
substantially reduces the amount of copying of data
required to generate a new version of an existing image,
and provides for an easy means for "undoing" an operation
on the user-perceived image by swapping references to
internal images, while conserving the use of memory and
storage.
