Abstract: The invention concerns bitumen felt composed of several bitumen layers comprising a support layer (1) and at least two bitumen layers (2, 3.1) applied one on top of the other to a first side of the support layer. On the second side of the support layer (1), a strip (3.2) of a bitumen layer is applied along the longitudinal edge of the felt, the width (b) of the strip being smaller than the width (B) of the felt. The strip is made of the same bitumen material as the outer bitumen layer (3.1) on the first side of the support layer (1). Another bitumen layer (4) which is adjacent to the bitumen strip (3.2) applied along the longitudinal edge is applied to the second side of the support layer (1). This additional layer is composed of a different bitumen material to the bitumen strip (3.2) and extends from the strip to the other longitudinal edge of the felt. This design enables the overlap areas to be particularly well sealed when laying the bitumen felts.

Abstract: The production of biomass or a desired product from a cell can be improved by inducing conversion of ATP to ADP without primary effects on other cellular metabolites or functions which is achieved by expressing an uncoupled ATPase activity in the cell and incubating the cell with a suitable substrate to produce the biomass or product. This is conveniently done by expressing in the cell the soluble part (F<SUB>1</SUB>) of the membrane bound (F<SUB>0</SUB>F<SUB>1 </SUB>type) H<SUP>+</SUP> ATPase or a portion of F<SUB>1 </SUB>exhibiting ATPase activity. The organism from which the F<SUB>1 </SUB>ATPase or portions thereof is derived, or in which the F<SUB>1 </SUB>ATPase or portions thereof is expressed, may be selected from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In particular the DNA encoding F<SUB>1 </SUB>or a portion thereof may be derived from bacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeasts, other fungi and cell lines of higher organisms and be selected from the group consisting of the gene encoding the F<SUB>1 </SUB>subunit beta or a portion thereof and various combinations of the gene or portion with the genes encoding the other F<SUB>1 </SUB>subunits or portions thereof. The method can be used i.a. for optimizing the formation of biomass or a desired product by a cell by expressing different levels of uncoupled ATPase activity in the cell, incubating the cell on a suitable substrate, measuring the conversion rate of substrate into biomass or the desired product at each level of ATPase expression, and choosing level of ATPase expression at which the conversion rate is optimized.

Abstract: The measurement involves emitting acoustic signal having selected frequency into a liquid (14) flowing in a stream. Acoustic signals reflected by solid particles (16) moving with the liquid in the stream are detected. The Doppler frequencies of the reflected signals (22) are determined. A spectrum of amplitude versus Doppler frequency is produced. A trend line is generated to fit the amplitude values at the high frequency end of the Doppler frequency spectrum. The intercept of the trend line with the zero amplitude axis is determined to produce a value representing the maximum velocity of the moving liquid in the stream.

Abstract: A control head for a thermostatic valve is disclosed which comprises a housing, within which is contained a sensing element (100). The sensing element (100) has a body and an actuating member, the actuating member being operative to move along an axis (A) with respect to the body in response to change in ambient temperature. There is a carrier (102) within the housing. There is further provided connecting means (42) whereby the housing can be secured to a flow valve (10). The body of the sensing element (100) is disposed on the carrier (102) and the actuating member of the sensing element (100) projects from the body such that it can operate a flow valve (10) to which the control head is attached. A user control (61), which may be constituted by part of the housing, is rotatable about an axis parallel to or coaxial with the operating axis (A) of the sensing element. Such rotation causes liner movement of the carrier (102) parallel to the operating axis but causing substantially no axial movement of the housing with respect to the connecting means (42). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for producing fusion proteins with the heterodimeric cytokine, interleukin-12. In order to insure that the proper ratio of fused and non-fused subunits are obtained in the fusion protein, a specific stepwise approach to genetic engineering is used. This consists of first expressing the non-fused p40 IL-12 subunit in a production cell line, followed by or simultaneously expressing in the same cell, a second recombinant fusion protein consisting of the fused polypeptide linked by a peptide bond to the p35 subunit of IL-12. Molecules containing the p35 fusion protein cannot be secreted from the transfected mammalian cell without first complexing in a one to one ratio with the p40 subunit, thus ensuring the production of active heterodimeric fusion proteins.

Abstract: A lateral flow method for the determination of an analyte in a sample utilizes biospecific affinity reactions. The method comprises forming a complex comprising Reactant I - - - Analyte' - - - Reactant* wherein Reactant* and Reactant I exhibit biospecific affinity to the analyte, Reactant* is analytically detectable, and Analyte' is the analyte or an analyte-related reactant, determining a detectable signal from Reactant* in the complex (sample value), and obtaining the amount of analyte in a sample by comparing the sample value with one or more calibrator values, each of which corresponds to a standard amount of analyte. Before determination of the calibrator value, either calibrator or a binder for the calibrator has been bound to a matrix and is released at the determination of calibrator value. The calibrator and the analyte have the ability to biospecifically bind to Reactant* via equivalent binding sites, and one or more calibrator zones comprising calibrator or binder for the calibrator are located in the same process flow as Reactant I in a detection zone. A device for transforming measured signal values for a completed, analytically detectable reactant (Reactant*) to real amounts of analyte in a sample comprises a flow matrix in which there is an area of process flow for the transport of Reactant*, having one or more calibrator zones, an application zone for Reactant* upstream of the one or more calibrator zones, and one or more detection zones downstream of the one or more calibrator zones.
