Patent EP-1077459-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MUELLER ROBERT WILLIAM
IPC: H01H71/10
Filed: 2000-08-08
Abstract: This concerns a four pole molded case circuit breaker having separable main
contacts and an operating mechanism utilized to cause the separable main contacts
to open and close. A trip unit is provided to actuate the operating mechanism in
desirable circumstances. The circuit breaker in this case has four-poles, one of
which is a neutral pole. The circuit breaker trip unit has rotatable trip bars therein,
one of which is associated with the three-line terminals and one of which is
associated with the neutral terminal. If the line terminal trip bar is actuated to move
because of a fault to overload in one of the line terminals, only the line terminals will
open because the neutral trip bar will not be moved. However, if the neutral trip bar
is moved because of a predescribed neutral current value in the neutral conductor all
of the contacts including the neutral contact will be opened because of the
interlocking arrangement between the neutral trip bar and the line trip bar.

Abstract: Exciting light is projected onto a specimen such as an
organic body, and an intensity in at least one wavelength range
of fluorescence emitted from the specimen upon excitation by
the exciting light is detected. Image data representing a
fluorescence image of the specimen is obtained through an
operation based on the intensity of the fluorescence. Whether
each of pixels forming the fluorescence image is adequate for
said operation is determined on the basis of the intensity of
the fluorescence of each pixel. The operation is carried out
on adequate pixels, which have been determined to be adequate
for the operation, to obtain values for the adequate pixels
while values which will not visually adversely affect the part
of the fluorescence image corresponding to the adequate pixels
are allotted to inadequate pixels, which have been determined
not to be adequate for said operation.

Abstract: Bei der Walzung von Draht mit einer der Luftvergütung vorgeschalteten
Wasserkühlung werden immer größere Drahtdurchmesserbereiche von z. B. < 5
bis > 25 mm gefertigt. Da der Draht bei der hohen Walzgeschwindigkeit von bis >
120 m pro Sekunde eng und genau geführt werden muss, kann der Drahtdurchmesserbereich
nicht mit einem einzigen Kühlrohr, sondern muss durch solche mit
verschiedenen Durchmessern abgedeckt werden. Gemäß der Erfindung wird
vorgeschlagen, die gesamte Wasserkühlstrecke (1), gebildet aus mehreren
parallel nebeneinander angeordneten Kühlrohrlinien mit unterschiedlichen
Innendurchmessern mit in Wasserkästen (2) angeordneten und durch Führungsrinnen
(3) miteinander verbundenen Kühlrohren, auf einer Tragkonstruktion

Abstract: Low-priority data are transmitted by exploitation of the unused transmission
capacity of a satellite transponder (12) that is mainly used for high-priority transmission
services, without interference with the latter services. The activity of the
transponder is monitored by means of a ground-based transmitter/receiver (T),
which searches for a frequency slot where a transmitted signal is not present.
Whenever a free frequency slot is found, the transmission of a block of low-priority
data packets waiting for transmission is started, according to a desired protocol, and,
simultaneously, the signal that is retransmitted to ground by the transponder in the
same slot is picked up. Monitoring of the signal retransmitted by the transponder is
continued, and the transmission is immediately interrupted as soon as the error rate
exceeds a predetermined threshold, indicating a presumable access to the slot by the
main transmission service.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for water treatment is disclosed where a
dealkalization treatment cycle is used in conjunction with a pH adjustment cycle
or with a regeneration cycle or with both. The treatment cycle involves
contacting untreated water with weak acid cation exchange resin, optionally
followed by pH adjustment. The regeneration cycle includes contacting partially
exhausted weak acid cation exchange resin with weak acid regenerants, in
particular carbonic acid; use of weak acid regenerants avoids introduction of
excessive deposits of inorganic salts into the environment. The water treatment
system can also be arranged to permit concurrent treatment and regeneration
cycles and is useful for providing treated water on demand for both home and
beverage service use.

Abstract: Disclosed are a recombinant vector for use in gene therapy for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a therapeutic composition thereof. Following the injection of a  beta -galactosidase expression vector having a K14 promoter gene, along with a Drosophola's P transposase expression helper vector, into murine skin in a liposome-mediated manner, the  beta -galactosidase gene is expressed in the keratinocyte layer from 24 hours to 20 weeks after injection as measured by X-gal staining. With the enhancement effect and tissue specificity, the K14 promoter is applied for the expression of a human insulin gene in keratinocytes, thereby suggesting a new gene therapy method for treating insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. When, in combination with the P-element expression helper vector, a human insulin expression vector with the K14 promoter is injected into the skin of diabetic mice, which lack insulin-producing  beta -cells of the pancreas, their blood glucose levels are maintained in a normal range. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This order placement and payment settlement system
provides secure transactions in online shopping by means of
the intermediation of settlement bodies that authenticate
buyers and sellers, allowing each party to conduct business
with confidence in the other. The buyer's computer or other
data terminal accesses the seller's server to obtain purchase
order information and transmits such information as is
required to the server of the settlement body. On the basis of
that information, the server of the settlement body references
buyer credit databases provided to it and then transmits the
purchase order to the seller's server only when the buyer is
capable of making payment. The settlement body server also
uses a trustworthiness ranking of the seller to determine the
timing of settlement and effects settlement unless the buyer
objects to settlement before that time. The system thus
provides both the buyer and the seller with enhanced
confidence in the integrity of the transaction.
