The cylindrical tank is equipped with a removable mixer (6) and a calibrated scraper (7) from an inner wall of the tank arranged on the removable mixer. The tank is covered by a removable lid that crosses a removable crank and by a door opening for adding materials in an upper part of the removable lid. The tank is arranged on a guidance system (10). The removable mixer consists of a central axis having an arrangement of spatulas, which are inclined on both side of the axis. The spatulas are oppositely placed and are staggered at regular intervals to ensure a homogeneous mixture. The entire liquid leaven resulting from a first filling has ripened for 3-4 days in an airtight shelter. The removable mixer, the calibrated scraper, the lid and the crank are dismountable without using tools. The valve is arranged under and at a center of the hopper for preventing storage of food residues in the machine and pollution of liquid leaven, and ensures a perfect sealing.

Abstract: This invention provides methods to prepare and use immunostimulatory cells for enhancing an immune response. The invention provides a method for preparing mature dendritic cells (DCs), comprising the sequential steps of: (a) signaling isolated immature dendritic cells (iDCs) with a first signal comprising an interferon gamma receptor (IFN-γR) agonist and/or a tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor (TNF-αR) agonist to produce signaled dendritic cells; and (b) signaling said signaled dendritic cells with a second transient signal comprising an effective amount of a CD40 agonist to produce CCR7+ mature dendritic cells. Also provided by this invention are enriched populations of dendritic cells prepared by the methods of the invention. Such dendritic cells have enhanced immunostimulatory properties and increased IL-12 secretion and/or decreased IL-10 secretion. CD40 signaling can be initiated by one or more of polypeptide translated from an exogenous polynucleotide encoding CD40L (e.g., mRNA or DNA), an agonistic antibody to CD40 receptor or by CD40 ligand polypeptide. The enriched populations can be further modified by the administration of an immunogen to the DC. The DC will take up and process the immunogen on its cell surface.

The method comprising the steps of determining a first luminous flux weight ratio based on the desired color and a first drive current for driving each of the differently colored LEDs, determining a first luminous flux for each of the differently colored LEDs based on the desired brightness and the first luminous flux weight ratio, comparing, for each of the differently colored LEDs, the first luminous flux with a nominal luminous flux for a plurality of different drive currents, selecting, for each of the differently colored LEDs, a preferred drive current that at least can produce the first luminous flux, determining a second luminous flux weight ratio based on the desired color and the selected drive currents for each of the differently colored LEDs, determining a second luminous flux for each of the differently colored LEDs based on the desired brightness and the second luminous flux weight ratio, and determining a duty cycle for each of the differently colored LEDs at the selected drive currents, wherein the selected currents at the determined duty cycles produces the second luminous flux for each of the differently colored LEDs. The present invention provides for the possibility to limit the number of necessary computational steps for determining preferred drive currents. Furthermore, an increase in number of current level and/or differently colored LEDs would only slightly increase the computational cost.

Abstract: An automatic blade-retracting box cutter utility knife has a handle with ergonomic hand grip proportions for comfortable gripping and handling during repetitive cutting operations. A blade-actuating hand-grip lever is mounted on the housing for movement about a pivotal axis. A blade shuffle is mounted for longitudinal sliding reciprocal movement in the housing from a rear retracted end position in which the blade is wholly received in the housing, to a front extended end position in which the blade is extended forward from the housing. The blade shuttle is extended in response to gripping actuation of the hand-grip lever. Extension and retraction forces are transferred from the hand-grip lever to a compression spring and to the blade shuttle via a power transmission assembly that includes a torque plate that is mounted for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation on the housing. Top access to a working blade and a replacement blade stored on the shuttle is provided for blade loading and security. Dual edge guide members are mounted for independent extension and retraction movement. A depth of cut adjustment dial is integrated with the power transmission assembly. Depth of cut, or blade extension, is set by limiting pivoting travel of the gripping lever during hand grip actuation.

Abstract: A system, method, and network node for checking the consistency of node relations in the nodes of a strongly connected network. An initiating network node initiates a request to check the consistency of node relations in the network. Each receiving node that receives the request determines whether defined relations received from the initiating node are symmetrically reflected by defined relations stored in the receiving network node. A local result is temporarily stored. The receiving node also identifies other nodes, if any, with which the receiving node has defined relations, and sends consistency-checking requests to the identified nodes. As responses are received from all of the identified nodes, the receiving network node aggregates the results with the stored local result and sends an aggregated response to the initiating node reporting the consistency or inconsistency of all of the receiving node's defined relations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring for damage to or failure of a mooring system comprising mooring lines (2) or anchors of a moored vessel (1). The vessel has a mooring point (4) to which at least one mooring line is connected. The method involves determining the geographical position of a locating point (5) on the vessel remote from the mooring point (4) and determining the heading of the vessel. The geographical position of the mooring point (4) is then calculated from the determined position of the locating point and the vessel heading. The position of the mooring point (4) is compared to at least one expected position of the mooring point (4), in order to provide an indication of failure of a mooring line (2) or anchor. The method has the advantage that failure of the mooring (lines 2) or anchors can be detected without direct monitoring of the integrity of the mooring lines (2), which is typically expensive and uses equipment that is vulnerable to damage.

Abstract: A secure seeding and reseeding scheme is provided for pseudorandom number generators by using a pre-stored initialization seed. This scheme initializes a pseudorandom number generator into an unknown state even when entropy collection is unavailable. A primary seed file and a shadow seed file are maintained with initialization seed information in a secure file system. If the primary seed file is corrupted, the pseudorandom number generator is seeded with the content of the shadow seed file. Additionally, a trusted timer or clock may be mixed with the pre-stored initialization seed to add entropy even when the pre-stored seed information has been compromised.
