Patent EP-0704049-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A float-controlled level switch with continuously adjustable switching points allows the level of liquids to be continuously regulated in selected height ranges. This is also the task of state-of-the-art vertical arrangements of several complete float type switches secured to a bar or of float type switches that may be adjusted only in a grid. Their disadvantages, such as their high complexity or the linking of the switching points to a grid, are eliminated by the invention. For that purpose, a holding element (section bar 11) provided with guiding tracks is located in the sliding tube (7) of the level switch, and the specifically designed switch element carriers (12) may be continuously moved in the guiding tracks. The switch element carriers (12) may be adjusted by means of outer adjusting elements (adjusting spindles 19), or by manually removing the section bar (11) from the level switch. Electric current is supplied to the switch elements (Reed switches 17) through bus bars (15) embedded in the guiding tracks and by contact elements (contact springs 16) that slide on the bus bars. The advantage of this solution is that it allows the switching points to be freely selected.

Abstract: A catalyst for the production of carbon fibrils and a method for the manufacture of such a catalyst comprising contacting a fibril-forming catalyst or precursors of a fibril-forming catalyst with an effective amount of a surfactant and/or polyol. The improved carbon fibrils or carbon fibril aggregates produced using the catalyst are free of a continuous carbon thermal overcoat, with graphitic layers substantially parallel to the fibril axis, and have a substantially constant diameter from about 1.0 to 100 nanometers. The improved carbon fibrils possess enhanced dispersion in composite materials and provide enhanced electrical conductivity in those materials.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une nouvelle transférase agissant sur un saccharide tel qu'un substrat, composé d'au moins trois unités sucres dans lesquelles au moins trois résidus glucoses situés sur l'extrémité réductrice sont liés en α-1,4 de façon à transférer les liaisons en α-1,4 sur des liaisons en α-1, α-1. L'invention concerne également un procédé de production de la transférase, un gène codant destiné à cette transférase, et un procédé de production d'un oligosaccharide utilisant cette enzyme. L'invention concerne aussi une nouvelle amylase essentiellement active sur un saccharide tel qu'un substrat, composé d'au moins trois unités sucres dans lesquelles au moins trois résidus glucoses situés sur l'extrémité réductrice sont des unités glucoses, la liaison entre la première et la deuxième des unités glucoses étant une α-1, α-1, alors que la liaison entre la deuxième et la troisième des unités glucoses est une α-1,4, ce qui permet de libérer la α,α-tréhalose par hydrolyse de la liaison α-1,4. Cette nouvelle amylase est également essentiellement active pour l'hydrolyse de la liaison α-1,4 à l'intérieur de la chaîne moléculaire du substrat. Cette nouvelle amylase libère des disaccharides et/ou des monosaccharides comme produits finis principaux. L'invention concerne également un procédé de production de l'amylase, un gène codant destiné à cette amylase et un procédé de production de la α,α-tréhalose combinant la transférase et l'amylase.

Abstract: A system for conducting an optical inspection of a biological, chemical, or biochemical sample supported by an optical transparent disc, adapting a technology which has been developed in the field of audio and video compact discs to scan surfaces. The disc (44) is mounted for rotation about its central axis whilst a light source (37) and detector (38) are mounted on an arm (36) for rotation in an arc crossing the surface of the disc. The source (37) is arranged above the disc (44) and the detector (38) below the disc with the optical axes of the two being aligned so that' the entire useable surface of disc (44) can be scanned by the light source and detector. The disc (44) is provided with a calibration marking (49) which interrupts the passage of the light beam when the beam passes over it, thus allowing the scan to be aligned relative to the disc. The optical properties of the sample supported on the substrate can be automatically and rapidly inspected by analyzing the output of the light detector (38). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A surface of a foreign body exposed to the flowing blood of a living being which normally would promote the aggregation of platelets in that blood to form a coating firmly affixed to that surface and thus restrict the flow of blood past that surface or to form a blood clot detachable from that surface which when detached could trigger a stroke, heart attack or partial loss of lung function, such as plastic tubing, a balloon or the end of a catheter surgically inserted in a blood vessel or a stem implanted therein, e.g., in conjunction with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or the interior wall of a length of plastic tubing used to transport the blood of a patient, undergoing hypothermic surgery, inhibits such aggregation when that surface is coated with a physiologically acceptable polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol or fibrinin, containing dissolved or dispersed therein a nitroso compound, such as 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane, which decomposes at body temperature and in so doing releases a platelet aggregation-inhibiting amount of nitric oxide during the post-surgical period when the individual is a high risk candidate for post-surgical foreign body-mediated platelet aggregation on or at the situs of the foreign body.

For a current exact calibration it may be desirable to effect small changes of the calibration diameter, yet with associated problem in exchanging the calibration pipe. The apparatus provides for a calibration pipe (14) with adjustable diameter, viz. in that the pipe is made of a number of split rings (16), which are juxtaposed with random locations of the splits (18), such that the pipe when seen in its axial direction is entirely unbroken. The rings (16) may be collectively radially compressed in a controlled manner by means of axially extending wedge clamp rods (24, 26) for a uniform adjustment of the diameter of the pipe (14) as a whole.

Abstract: The materials include non-polyampholite crosslinked polymers and gels based on a polymer which in uncrosslinked form is substantially soluble in ionic fluids and substantially insoluble in water. The materials change their state of hydration in response to an environmental trigger. The disclosed materials are useful as drilling, completion or workover fluids in wells such as hydrocarbon producing wells. According to the disclosed method, crosslinked polymers or gels are introduced into a stratum, blocking or bridging the pores of the stratum. Thereafter, an environmental condition is changed to cause the hydrated material to become less hydrated to unblock the pores allowing production from the well.
