Patent EP-0981651-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STOYE JONATHAN PAUL
IPC: C12N15/48
Filed: 1998-05-18
Abstract: The present invention is based upon the finding that porcine endogenous retroviruses exist in two different subtypes, which we have termed PERV-A and PERV-B. The differences are reflected in sequence divergence in the envelope genes, and these differences may be used to provide nucleic acid and antibody probes which can distinguish between the two subtypes. This allows patterns of subtype transmission between cells, particularly porcine to human cells, to be monitored.

IPC: G01P3/68

Abstract: A fish population counting device for counting the number of fish passing
through the fish pass according to directions and fish sizes. Image data produced by
the two-line camera (1) that takes pictures simultaneously on two shooting lines (A, B)
is sent through the A/D converter (2) and stored one line at a time in image memories
(3A, 3B). The image data is then transferred to the processing unit (6), where they are
rearranged in the order of shooting for each shooting line (A, B) to generate two-line
successive images (A, B). From these two-line successive images (A, B), the outlines
of the areas whose label numbers are the same are traced to separate massive figures
scattered in the images. The features of the massive figures are extracted and matched
against a standard pattern to decide if the massive figures are fish or not. Then, the
positions and shapes of all fish scattered in the two-line successive images (A, B) are
identified one by one to count the number of fish that have passed through the
shooting lines (A, B) during a predetermined length of time. Further, individual fish
that are at displaceable positions are taken to be the same fish and, based on the
displacements of these fish, the directions and speeds of these individual fish are
calculated. From the fish speeds the size of each fish is determined. The number of fish
is counted by the size and the direction.

Abstract: A system for protecting a coastal land from a rise of the surface of the sea wherein
offshore dams (5) and caissons (6) containing pump-turbines (20) are provided in such a
manner that the caissons and dams extend in parallel with the coastline of the land (2).
Partition clams (7) are provided so as to connect the offshore dams and the land together to
make ponds (8). The water level of each pond is kept lower than a preset level (11), which is
several meters lower than an average level of the surface of the ocean (1), by an operation of
the pump-turbines and avoiding not only the submergence of the coastal land due to the rise in
the sea level caused by global warming, but also expanding the area of the land toward offshore
side. A high-efficiency pumped storage power generation is conducted in which the
development of tidal energy and seawater pumped storage power generation are combined
with each other by carrying out tidal wave pumped storage power generation, in which the
head of a water turbine is lager than the head of the pump) and which comprises lowering the
water level of the pond to a level lower than the preset level by an operation of the pump at low
tide during nighttime, and introducing seawater from the ocean into ponds by an operation of
the water turbine at high tide during daytime to increase the water level of each pond up to the
preset level, whereby economical efficiency is given to the system equipment..

Abstract: An exhaust gas emission-control system is
disclosed, wherein exhaust gases are alternately passed
through either one of a pair of first filters(1,2),
which comes selectively in fluid communication with an
exhaust pipe with operation of a change-over valve(21).
Particulate emissions in the exhaust gases are
effectively trapped in the first filters(1,2) and
burned away. Then, the exhaust gases are passed
through a downstream second filter(3), where nitrogen
oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gases are decomposed.
By-pass valves(19,23) downstream of the first filters
(1,2) are actuated to discharge a gas evolved by
burning the trapped particulate emissions on
regeneration of the first filters(1,2) into the air.
Thus, no gas caused by burning the trapped particulate
emissions in the first filters(1,2) may pass through
the second filter(3). The second filter(3) is
enveloped with a warm-up gas jacket(16,33) through
which the exhaust gases flow to keep the second filter
(3) at a temperature that is optimal to render a
catalytic compound of brownmillerite-like structure
effective in decomposition of nitrogen oxides (NOx)
contained in the exhaust gases.
