Abstract: The invention provides an agitated vessel (10) for producing a suspension of
solids in liquid with uniform concentration. The vessel (10) comprises a vertical
cylindrical tank (1) having sidewalls and a bottom with inclined surfaces forming an
interior for holding a suspension of solids in liquid; means for feeding solids and
liquid to the tank; a plurality of stationary baffles (7) disposed in the interior of the tank
and vertically extending the length of the tank; a rotating shaft (8) vertically installed at
the center of the interior of the vertical cylindrical tank; a single turbine impeller (12) with
vertical blades radiating from the rotating shaft, the lower edges of the blades being
contoured to match the slope of the inclined surfaces of the bottom and positioned so
that the lower edge of the impeller (12) is close to the bottom; and an exit port. The
agitated vessel (10) achieves uniform concentration of suspensions at lower power
requirements than traditional designs and in a low shear environment. The vessel (10) is
particularly good for handling floating solids and minimizing damage to friable
products.

arranged to propagate a received message multiple times, these measures include
increasing (75) the interval between retransmissions in dependence on how many times the
same message has been received by the device either in total or during a recent period.

Abstract: In a full text search retrieval device (4) connected
to a plurality of user terminals (3), a received
retrieval condition and terminal device information are
stored in a retrieval condition buffer (43). If it is
determined that no preceding retrieving process is being
performed, then a retrieval pattern variable table (46)
and a retrieval request expression variable table (48)
are generated. According to the retrieval request
expression variable table (48), a database of the data to
be searched is searched to extract a retrieval result
matching the retrieval condition transmitted from any of
the terminal devices (3), and the extracted retrieval
result is transmitted to the appropriate terminal
devices. Thus, although retrieval requests are
continuously transmitted from respective users, a
retrieval result can be returned to each user terminal in
a similar response time as when a user terminal has sole
use of the retrieval device (4).

Abstract: In an intake air control device, a valve gear (6) for driving a shaft (3) of a throttle valve (1) is made of non-magnetic metal that does not interfere with a magnetic circuit constituted by split type permanent magnet (41) and yoke (42). Accordingly, as the magnetic flux from the magnetic circuit is effectively used without leakage to the valve gear, an opening degree of the throttle valve is accurately detected by a non-contact type Hall element (43). Further, it is not necessary to reinforce with other metal a ring shaped fixing portion (25) of the valve gear that is rigidly fixed to an end of the shaft by staking or welding and an outer protrusion (27) of the valve gear that comes in hitting contact with a stopper (17) of a throttle body when the throttle valve is fully closed, resulting in less number of component parts and lower cost.

Abstract: When a diagnosis is to be performed using a fluorescence
diagnostic image obtained by use of an endoscope apparatus or
the like, if obstructing regions containing an obstructing
factor such as blood or waste is present on the target subject,
the misrecognition thereof as a diseased tissue is prevented.
White light and excitation light are projected onto a target
subject to obtain respective standard and fluorescence images
thereof. Because the color of the obstructing regions is
different from that of either normal or diseased tissue, the
color data of the standard image is computed, and the
obstructing regions detected by determining whether or not the
color data is outside a predetermined range. The fluorescence
image is subjected to an exceptional display process of
rendering the color of the obstructing regions a different
color than that of the other regions, and the processed
fluorescence diagnostic image is displayed on a monitor.

Abstract: A rotational angle detector which comprises: a
rotational angle detecting section (1) which detects an angle
detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of
a rotor in a short cycle and feeds it to a control section (2);
the control section (2) which calculates the fed angle
detection signal and sends an angle set signal through
a controller (6) to a controlled system (7); and a memory (3) which
stores the angle detection signal temporarily and also
stores an allowable maximum angle value for the angle
detection signal, wherein the control section (2) makes the
output cycle for the angle set signal longer than the
detection cycle for the angle detection signal and counts
the number of times when the angle detection signal as
fed within the long output cycle for the angle detection
signal is beyond the allowable maximum angle value and,
if it decides that the count is beyond a preset number,
outputs an abnormality signal instead of the angle set
signal.

Abstract: An interference screw for affixing soft tissue grafts during anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) reconstruction comprises a threaded body axially extending between a face and a tip
along a central axis, with the face advantageously being obliquely aligned with the central
axis. The threaded body includes a proximal threaded section and a distal threaded section,
each of which may be straight or tapered. The proximal threaded section is approximately 1
mm larger in diameter than the distal threaded section. The increased diameter of the
proximal threaded section enables the interference screw to compressively secure the soft
tissue graft against the cortical bone, while the distal threaded section compresses the soft
tissue graft against the cancellous bone with an appropriately reduced force that is
appropriate for facilitating bonding of the soft tissue graft to the cancellous bone and that is
sufficient for minimizing any "bungee effect."

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for the identification of weak and/or
strong nodes of an electric power transmission system. 
     The inventive method consists in subjecting the electric parameters
characterising nodes and branches of an electric power transmission system to
computational treatment in order to obtain equations of power flow in all nodes of
the system at assumed 100 percent system load value. Then earth is taken as the
reference point, and nodal impedance values are computed for all nodes of the
system, which values are then used to construct a P-Q curve which presents the
functional relation between the system's reactive and active load. In the next
operation, the nodal coefficient of voltage stability is determined as the relative
distance between the base load point of that node and the critical point on the P-Q
curve which is situated most closely to the base point. The numerical value of this
coefficient is compared with a threshold value considered to be a safe margin to
maintain voltage stability for a given node.
