Abstract: A method of enabling an increase in the vertical definition of a transmitted television signal while preserving its bandwidth including the steps of decimating alternate lines of the television signal and reinterpolating untransmitted alternate lines upon reception. The decimation is accomplished by diagonally filtering the television signal in two dimensions to form a figure of five sample structure. Every other line is then added to the line adjacent to it so that half the lines are available for transmission, each line comprising folded-in high frequency information about missing line samples. Prior to transmission, bnadwidth is converted by filtering the signal to be transmitted at a skew-symmetric low pass filter. Apparatus for encoding and decoding the television signal each includes a two dimensional diagonal filter and line switching and control circuitry. The storage of a full field of a sample data is not required for processing in accordance with the present method. Consequently the present apparatus comprises only line store means associated with the line switching and control circuitry of encoding apparatus.

Abstract: A catalytic bed (14) has an upright forward surface (24) openly exposed to the living space and generates a partially laminar gaseous combustion products flow upward along the bed surface, with a laminar flow adjacent thereto and a turbulent flow positioned forward thereof. A collection chamber (16) is positioned above the bed and defines a rearward collection chamber (60) and a forward inlet space (74). A baffle wall (68) extends into the collection chamber to create a pressure drop between the collection chamber (60) and inlet space (74). The collection chamber projects forwardly beyond the bed surface (14) and downwardly to define an opening to the inlet space, with the forward projection being beyond the turbulent flow so that both the laminar and turbulent flows when rising are drawn in under the influence of a negative pressure source (32) with a curtain flow of air from the living space being forward of the turbulent flow.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming elongated metal cans (32) from relatively short cups (30) by utilizing a recriprocating ram (24) to drive the cups (30) one at a time through a die pack (28), is provided with a continously rotating feeder (40) that transfers the cups (30) from the exit of a gravity feed chute (26) to a receiving station (25) where each cup (30) is indexed for engagement by the ram (24) as it moves forward in its working stroke. The feeder (40) rotates through one complete revolution for each forward-return cycle of the ram (24) and during each revolution thereof a pocket (40b) in the feeder (40) receives a cup (30) from the chute (26), which cup (30) then moves along a curved guideway (43) to a receiving station (25). Prior to being engaged by a registry formation (48) at the receiving station (25) the cup (30) is engaged by a stripper (45) that removes the cup from the feeder pocket (40b). The feeder (40) continues to drive the cup (30) toward the registry formation (48) while the cup (30) is being stripped from the feeder pocket (40b). A formation (40c) on the feeder (40) maintains the cup (30) in engagement with the registry formation (48) while the cup (30) is initially engaged by the ram (24) during forward movement thereof.

Title: Aeration device
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 1989-05-30
Granted: 1993-08-25
Abstract: In aeration devices for introducing gas into a liquid, there is the problem of the introduction body filled with gas being subjected to buoyancy. To eliminate this buoyancy, the introduction body is formed to be open at its free end and to be closed at its other end where it carries a fixing branch by means of which it can be connected to a gas supply distributor. The introduction body is surrounded by a perforated tubular membrane and a gas feed channel ends in the region of the membrane. 
<??>To facilitate manufacture and assembly and to reduce the consumption of material, the introduction body is designed such that its gas feed channel passes through the fixing branch as a bore which is axially blind and that at least one radial outlet is present in the region of the membrane. Preferably, a longitudinal groove which allows uniform distribution of the gas extends from the outlet of the gas feed channel to a point in front of the free end of the introduction body.

Abstract: A test system (10) is associated with a chain of circuits (12) on a circuit board (13) for testing the interconnections (11) linking the circuits in the chain as well as for testing the interconnections linking them to those on other boards. The test system includes a controller (22) for generating a test signal and for capturing a response signal generated by the associated chain of circuits in response to the test signal. The controller (22) also generates a flow control signal which controls a network (24) that routes the test signals from the controller, or from a first other test system, to the associated chain of circuits (12). In accordance with the flow control signal, the network (24) also serves to route the response signal from the associated chain of circuits (12) to the controller (22) or to a second other test system. By selectively routing the test and response signals, the network (24) in each test system (10) allows individual testing of each associated chain of circuits or, alternatively, permits the chains of circuits on several boards to be effectively interconnected for testing.

Abstract: A DNA construct is described which comprises DNA encoding for a  beta -galactosidase which can be secreted by a yeast, said DNA being flanked at its 5' end in reading frame by a yeast promoter sequence. Such DNA constructs can be incorporated in a plasmid vector (e.g. pVK11) and inserted into a suitable host, such as a yeast (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae), to produce a microorganism which synthesises and secretes  beta -galactosidase extracellularly or into the periplasmic space and which can grow on a substrate containing lactose, e.g. whey or whey permeate. The DNA coding for the  beta -galactosidase may be of fungal origin, for example it may be derived from Aspergillus niger in the form of its lacA+ gene.

Abstract: The implantable catheter device has a capsule (10) with a perforatable upper wall (15). A catheter (11) leads into a cavity (12) in the capsule (10). The catheter (11) is fixed to the capsule (10) by means of an elastomeric clamping piece (30), which is arranged in the inside of a connection piece (22). The connection piece (22) has an internal thread (23) in which an external thread of a thrust piece (26) engages. By turning the thrust piece (26), the clamping piece (30) is deformed, in order to press against the periphery of the catheter and fix the latter and seal it off relative to the capsule (10). The lateral dimensions of the capsule (10) are not increased by the connection piece (22). The catheter coupling can be easily tightened and released, and it affords satisfactory safety against the catheter being pulled out. <IMAGE>
