Patent EP-1065154-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HACIKYAN MICHAEL
IPC: B65D65/46
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging
container designed to transport an inner container
containing a liquid. The packaging container has at
least one sealing multi-layer comprising a first water
soluble film and an absorbent material. The inner layer
of the packaging container is the water-soluble film
that forms the boundary between the cavity that hold the
inner container and the packaging container. When the
liquid leaks from the inner container while in the
packaging container, the liquid passes through the
water-soluble film. When the liquid contacts the
absorbent material, the absorbent material absorbs and
immobilizes the liquid material. This immobilization
prevents the liquid from escaping from the packaging
container. The present invention also includes a
security feature, an apparatus to identify where or whom
the liquid was obtained from and/or tests to be
conducted, and/or the ability to extract the liquid from
the absorbent material.

Abstract: The invention seeks to provide a polarization conversion
element which makes it possible to achieve high production
efficiency. A polarization conversion element in accordance
with the present invention includes a plurality of
transmissive members arranged along a predetermined
direction, and a plurality of polarization separation films
and a plurality of reflection films alternately disposed
between the plurality of transmissive members. In each
polarization separation film, a transmittance ratio for an
ultraviolet light beam of a particular wavelength range
which is incident on a surface of each polarization
separation film at an angle of incidence of approximately 0
degrees is approximately 40% or more. Each reflection film
may be formed so that its transmittance ratio for an
ultraviolet light beam of a particular wavelength range
which is incident on a surface of each reflection film at an
angle of incidence of approximately zero degrees is
approximately 40% or more.

Abstract: A head for a tape drive system has a plurality of transducers formed on a substrate
and protected by a cover bar, with a tie bar bonded to the cover bar. The tie bar extends
along a tape-facing surface beyond the cover bar, enhancing the structural integrity of the
head. Wear bars may be bonded to the substrate, cover bar and tie bar. Alternatively, the
tie bar may have a notch within which the substrate and cover bar are bonded. The tie
bar reduces misalignment and instability of the transducers, providing increased storage
capacity and greater reliability and durability of the tape drive system.

Abstract: A system and method for object inspection that includes an image recognition program stored on a tangible medium for classifying and subclassifying regions of interest on an image. The image recognition program can be used in an image inspection system to determine defects on objects such as printed wiring assemblies. The image recognition program is executable to collect raw image data, segment out rectangular regions of interest that can be component sites defined by CAD data, preprocess each region of interest by scaling, gain and offset correction, and gamma correction, generating a set of image spaces for each region of interest using a set of spatial image transforms, generating features on the image spaces, scoring the features, comparing the feature scores to a knowledge base of feature scores to make a class determination for the features, generating a presence/absence decision confidence for the features, calculating a class determination and decision confidence for each region of interest. The class determinations can include present or absent, and right or wrong polarity. Another aspect of the image recognition software includes the ability to subclassify the defects. Another aspect of the present invention includes the ability to incrementally train the existing knowledge base as more images are processed.

Abstract: Process for utilizing methane-containing biogas e.g. mine gas, waste gas and biogas produced from fermentation plants and digestion processes in clarifying plants involves feeding the gas to a gas motor of a gas motor/generator arrangement to produce a current. The inert gas content of the combustion air fed to the motor is reduced using a membrane separation device connected to the motor. Preferred Features: Lean gas containing less than 40 vol.% methane is used to operate the motor. Atmospheric air is compressed and fed to a gas permeation module of the membrane separation device, whose membranes have a preferred permeability for O2. The permeate with a reduced inert gas content is withdrawn from the permeation module and fed to the gas motor as combustion air. The oxygen/nitrogen ratio of the combustion air is adjusted by the operation of the membrane separation device so that the gas motor is operated with a specified air ratio, preferably  lambda  = 1.5-1.8, preferably  lambda  = 1.6.

Abstract: A novel family of protein libraries comprising CTLDs (C-type Lectin-Like Domains) in which internal polypeptide loop-regions lining the ligand binding sites in CTLDs have been replaced with ensembles of completely or partially randomised polypeptide segments. Tetranectin CTLDs were chosen as framework for the preferred embodiment of the invention; and versatile phagemid vectors useful in the generation and manipulation of human and murine tetranectin CTLD libraries are disclosed as part of this invention. Tetranectin CTLDs in monomeric as well as in trimeric form are efficiently displayed as gene III fusions in fully functional form by the recombinant fd phage display vector. CTLD derivatives with affinity for new ligands may readily be isolated from libraries of vectors displaying CTLDs, in which loop-regions have been randomised, using one or more rounds of enrichment by screening or selection followed by amplification of the enriched subpopulation in each round.  The efficiency with which protein products containing CTLDs with new binding properties can be produced, e.g. by bacterial expression and in vitro refolding, in mono-, tri-, or multimeric formats provides important advantages in terms of simplicity, cost and efficiency of generation, production and diagnostic or therapeutic applications in comparison to recombinant antibody derivatives.
