Patent EP-0341031-A3 (EP)
IPC: F16K31/122
Filed: 1989-05-03
Abstract: A fluid operated valve acuator which can be used 
for either a normally-open valve or a normally-closed 
valve includes a housing body (10) having a 
cylindrical side wall (12) and an apertured end wall 
(19) integral therewith and defining a substantially 
cylindrically-shaped cavity therein. An end cap (30) 
is selectively securable to the cylindrical housing 
side wall (12) to enclose the cavity and form a 
chamber. The end cap (30) has a substantially 
centrally located port (41) extending therethrough 
which communicates with the chamber. A bonnet (50) 
extends into the housing body (10) through the 
apertured end wall (14) thereof. The bonnet (50) has 
a longitudinally extending bore (74) which 
communicates with the housing body chamber. A 
retainer (58) holdes the body (10) on the bonnet 
(50). A valve stem (80) extends through the bonnet 
bore (74) and the end wall aperture and terminates in 
the housing chamber. A piston (90) is located in the 
chamber and is secured to the valve stem. A resilient 
member is provided for biassing the piston to one end 
position. The resilient member is either a spring 
(160) located in the chamber or a spring (130) located 
in the bonnet bore (74). Fluid flow is introduced to 
one side of the piston for selectively causing the 
piston to move linearly against the bias of the spring 
(130 or 160) and shift the valve stem (80).

Title: Method for the preparation of catalyst components for the polymerization of ethylene to produce a polymer with a relatively narrow molecule weight distribution
IPC: C08F4/658
Filed: 1990-07-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a supported procatalyst intended for the polymerization of olefins, in which particles are formed from magnesium halide and alcohol, the particles are reacted with an organometallic compound of any of the metals of the groups I to III, the thus obtained particulate product is activated by means of a titanium(IV) compound, and optionally a prepolymerization is carried out for the activated particles. A problem with this kind of a method is how to form particles from magnesium dihalide and alcohol having an advantageous structure for the polymerization of ethylene and particularly ethylene with a narrow molecular weight distribution. The problem has in the present invention been solved by forming the particles by spray-crystallizing a mixture of magnesium dihalide and alcohol to complex particles of magnesium dihalide and alcohol and by using titanium (IV) alkoxyhalide as the titanium compound. The catalytic properties of the particles thus obtained are improved, especially after the prepolymerization carried out by means of ethylene, which leads in the polymerization to a still more active, very hydrogen and comonomer sensitive procatalyst having a better molecular weight selectivity. The invention also relates to the specific use of the procatalyst prepared by such a method for the polymerization of alpha-olefins. By a procatalyst is meant in this context the catalyst component of the Ziegler-Natta-catalyst which is based on the transition metal and which before the polymerization is combined with the organometallic compound of aluminium or some other metal acting as cocatalyst
Patent EP-0474470-A3 (EP)
Title: Urethane acrylate surfaced laminate
IPC: B32B7/02
Filed: 1991-09-04
Abstract: A decorative laminate, and a process for making same, featuring a protective outer layer which provides superior scratch, wear, and chemical resistance, and which is tightly bound to the layer immediately beneath so as to reduce the tendency of the protective layer to delaminate from the layer immediately below. The laminate uses radiation-polymerizable urethane acrylate coated surfaces and utilizes a photoinitiator, a thermal catalyst and a coupling agent. The coupling agent serves to more securely bond the protective layer to the surface onto which the protective surface is coated. The protective layer is created by first applying the reactants to finish paper, then partly curing by UV radiation. The partly cured material is then applied to the surface to be protected, and the laminate is consolidated and the outer layer is completely cured by thermopressing.

Title: Process for reducing hydrolysed protein chlorohydrin content
IPC: A23J3/32
Filed: 1992-03-07
Abstract: The chlorohydrin content of a liquid containing hydrolysed protein obtained by hydrolysis of protein with hydrochloric acid is reduced in an apparatus system by introducing alkali into the liquid flowing under pressure in a piping system to increase the pH of the liquid, after which the pH-increased flowing liquid is heated, and then the heated flowing liquid is held for a time sufficient in a holding piping section to reduce the chlorohydrin content of the hydrolysed protein contained in the liquid. The flowing liquid under pressure then is cooled before or after addition of hydrochloric acid which is employed to adjust the pH of the liquid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Primers and probes can be used to detect nucleic acid from Mycobacterium in a sample and determine the species from which the nucleic acid originates. The primers amplify regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene and hybridize to regions conserved among species. Genus specific probes hybridize to sequences within the amplified region conserved among mycobacterial species, whereas the species specific probes hybridize to a variable region, so that the species identity can be uniquely determined. Consensus probes for detecting mycobacteria nucleic acids are provided which probes are not identical to any of the sequences of mycobacterial species.
Patent EP-0538745-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for buffering high bandwidth data from an input device
IPC: G06F5/06
Filed: 1992-10-16
Abstract: An efficient buffering mechanism for access and retrieval of stored high bandwidth data and sufficient storage is disclosed. In a typical operating system, a channel containing only a limited buffer between the input devices and the running applications is provided by the operating system. This invention provides a parallel channel of a higher bandwidth with a far superior buffering capability that complements that of the operating system. When an input event from an input device with a high bandwidth is received by the system, messages are sent to both the operating system channel and the high bandwidth channel in a compatible format for each channel. The message sent to the operating system channel generally contains only limited data which may have to be translated from the actual input data to be acceptable to the operating system. The message sent to the high bandwidth channel contains the full spectrum of data generated by the input device. The buffer in the operating system channel also has the property of discarding data if the application does not retrieve them quickly enough during periods of high CPU utilization. The buffer in the high bandwidth channel keeps all data for up to 1000 input events, or whatever is deemed sufficient for the computer system, regardless of CPU usage. In response to the interception of a translated event in the operating system queue for one of the applications in the system, the method of the present invention will check to see if there are any events in the high bandwidth buffer. If there are, the system dequeues all the events to send them to the intended application. Various flags are set if task preemption is detected by the system upon examination of the events in the high bandwidth queue. Further, certain events may be sent asynchronously to the high bandwidth channel alone from various input devices; the system is prompted by a false "mouse" message in the operating system queue to cause the system to examine the high bandwidth buffer for the true input event.   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Inventor: HARTUNG JOHN
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1995-05-17
Abstract: A method of coding a video signal at a fixed bit rate with use of a vector
quantization codebook, wherein advantageous codebook updates are determined by
comparing a coding error associated with a first provisional coding of a frame with a
coding error associated with a second provisional coding of the frame. The first
provisional coding uses a fixed available number of bits to code a frame with use of
the unmodified codebook, whereas the second provisional coding uses a modified
codebook to code the same frame. However, the second provisional coding codes
both the frame and the codebook updates with the fixed available number of bits.
The provisional coding having the smaller coding error is selected as the coding of
the frame which will be adopted. In addition, the codebook may be replaced with
the modified codebook when the second provisional coding is selected. In this
manner, the coder will adapt the codebook to the characteristics of the scene.
