Inventor: HOFMANN KARSTEN
IPC: G01B11/10
Filed: 1997-10-16
Abstract: The method involves measuring simultaneously the thickness of the workpiece. Three measurement system s (x,y,z), which are pivoted in common about the longitudinal axis of the workpiece (22b), measure its thickness (d1,d2,d3) along the measurement axes (principal and minor axes) over a specific pivoting angle range. The three measurement are offset from one another by a small angle. A computer determines maximum or minimum values for the values measured. The measurement system is then pivoted into a position (measurement zero position) in which on the measurement axis of the middle measurement system (principal axis) a minimum or a maximum value results. Using a computer algorithm the relationship between the three measurements of the three systems is determined. Then the amount by which the angular position of the maximum or minimum has changed and how great the maximum or minimum is in the changed angular position, is calculated and in which direction of rotation the change in the angular position has taken place

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing enhanced pay per view in a video server. Specifically, the present invention periodically schedules a group of non pre-emptible tasks corresponding to videos in a video server having a predetermined number of processors, wherein each task begins at predetermined periods and has a set of sub-tasks separated by predetermined intervals. To schedule the group of tasks, the present invention divides the tasks into two groups according to whether they may be scheduled on a single processor. The present invention schedules each group separately. For the group of tasks not scheduleable on a single processor, the present invention determines a number of processors required to schedule such group and schedules such tasks to start at a predetermined time. For the group of tasks scheduleable on a single processor, the present invention determines whether such tasks are scheduleable on the available processors using an array of time slots. If the present invention determines that such group of tasks are not scheduleable on the available processors, then the present invention recursively partitions such group of tasks in subsets and re-performs the second determination of scheduleability. Recursive partitioning continues until the group of tasks is deemed scheduleable or no longer partitionable. In the latter case, the group of tasks is deemed not scheduleable.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une analyse de la protéine CopB de membrane externe de M. Catarrhalis. Quatre antigènes de CopB ont maintenant été séquencés et leurs séquences d'acides aminés prévues, comparées. Dans cet antigène, des régions de conservation et de non-conservation ont été identifiées, y compris une région non conservée représentant une région de liaison provenant de la souche 035E. Un seul changement d'acide aminé (N pour D) dans cet épitope, sur le résidu 295, abolit la réactivité de l'anticorps 10F3 vis-à-vis de CopB. Des peptides ne contenant que des résidus de cette région possédant une extrémité carboxylique pour le résidu 295 retiennent bien la réactivité mais leur réactivité est inférieure à la réactivité maximale obtenue en présence d'une asparagine en position 295. L'invention porte également sur des compositions ainsi que sur des méthodes tant diagnostiques qu'immunoprophylactiques.

Abstract: This is an original method disposing of crude oil production sludges, including contaminants, by putting them to good use. The principal original feature is exploitation of the waste as a secondary raw material in the manufacture of ceramic products, for example bricks or tiles. Preferably, the waste is also used to make melt granules. Firstly, coarse objects are separated. The remaining material is screened or washed, separating out the coarse materials. The contaminants are enriched into a fine granular fraction (clay or silt). This is dried to over 90% by weight of dry matter content. Low temperature coking follows, freeing the dried matter of oil and mercury.
