Title: A process for the fermentation of media containing carbohydrates with the help of bacteria
Inventor: EFFENBERGER HELMUT
IPC: C12P7/04
Filed: 1988-03-09
Abstract: Process for the fermentation of media containing carbohydrate, aided by bacteria forming butanol, acetone, ethanol and/or isopropanol, carried out in at least two stages, the first consisting essentially of continuous cultivation of the bacteria, the second, carried out continuously or in batches, consisting essentially of product formation. In order to achieve long-duration stability of the process, as well as an increase in productivity and in sugar break-down, the bacteria are immobilized during the second stage on a carrier material. Medium can therefore be drawn off at the product formation stage and the formed product can be isolated, thus avoiding inhibition caused by too high a concentration of the product. The device for implementing said process consists of a bioreactor, preferably an agitation pan bioreactor (4), and a reactor provided with a bacteria-retentive material, preferably a fixed-bed reactor (7), disposed successively. An external loop may be attached to the fixed-bed reactor (7) for product isolation, preferably continuous.

Patent CH-615068-B (CH)
Inventor: SAKUMA TADASHI
IPC: G04C3/00
Filed: 1976-09-16
Abstract: A small sized electric timepiece movement has a radius which is less than the diameter of the battery which powers the movement. Hence, the battery extends from one side of the movement to a point beyond the centerline of the timepiece. Advantage is taken of the fact that the battery is dome-shaped so as to accommodate a portion of the base plate which rotatably supports the cannon pinion and hour wheel of the timepiece movement which are located centrally of the timepiece. Hence, the axis of the cannon pinion and hour wheel, if projected, would intersect the battery. The invention enables the construction of an electronic timepiece which is smaller than would otherwise be possible. With a battery having a diameter of 7.9 mm and a thickness of 3.5 mm, it is possible to make a timepiece having a diameter of 14.8 mm and a thickness of about 4 mm.

The speech codec provides the advantage that at least two embedded vector codebooks, having overlapping vectors, can represent both wideband and narrowband signals. This provides for a reduced memory requirement of the codebook, in a memory constrained speech unit. Methods of generating such a combined vector codebook and encoding /decoding speech signals related to the combined vector codebook are disclosed. Application to video codecs is also envisaged.

Title: Improved dust/particle collecting arrangement for cyclone separators
Inventor: NORTH JOHN HERBERT
IPC: B04C3/04
Filed: 2001-07-05
Granted: 2003-12-17
Abstract: Apparatus is described for separating particulate material from an airstream established by sucton. The apparatus comprises a primary separation chamber (12) in which particles are separated from the airstream therein by centrifugal force, a main particle collecting region (14) into which the particles separated by the primary separation (12) can fall under gravity, and a secondary separation chamber (90) downstream of the primary chamber (12), to which air and particles not separated in the first chamber (12), pass. An air outlet in the secondary chamber allows air substantially free of particles to exit. An intermediate particle collecting region is associated with the secondary chamber (90), in which particles collect after separation by centrifugal force from the air flowing through the secondary chamber (90). A valve (41) is provided between the intermediate particle collecting region and a second particle collecting region, which is closed while air flows through the apparatus but which is opened when airflow ceases, to allow particles in the intermediate region to pass into the second region. The second collecting region may be separate from the main particle collecting region (14), or may comprise the second particle collecting region. The valve (41) may be operable manually, electrically, or in response to the flow of air through the apparatus so as to become closed when the air flow reaches and exceeds a given rate of flow, and opens when air fluid flow falls below a given rate of flow. A baffle may be provided downstream of the valve to reduce the tendency for material beyond the valve to be sucked back through the valve while the air flow is being established. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical measurement method and device
Inventor: POBORTCHI VLADIMIR
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2004-09-03
Granted: 2007-05-16
Abstract: An optical measurement of a crystalline sample to be measured. The sample is irradiated with an exciting light from the polarization direction in which the Raman scattering is prohibited by the selection rule. When a metal probe is brought to proximity to the sample to be measured, the selection rule is eased locally only in the proximity portion near the probe end in order that Raman scattering becomes active. Thus, a Raman signal only from the proximity portion near the probe end is detected. An optical measurement apparatus having an optical arrangement for measuring a signal light re-emitted from a sample to be measured when the sample is irradiated with an exciting light is provided. The optical measurement apparatus comprises a means for limiting the polarization state of the exciting light or signal light and a means for bringing a metal probe near the sample to be measured. The optical measurement apparatus is used to measure the signal light obtained by locally easing the limitation on the polarization state by bringing the metal probe near the sample. Therefore, Raman scattering light from silicon or the like can be measured with high space-resolution exceeding the light diffraction limit.

Title: A semiconductor storage device
Inventor: IWAI HIDETOSHI
IPC: G11C29/04
Filed: 1985-09-18
Granted: 1988-05-25
Abstract: In a semiconductor storage device having a spare memory, an input address signal is checked by an address comparator circuit. When the input address signal indicates an address which is to be relieved, the spare memory is selected instead of a memory array on the basis of the output of the address comparator circuit at that time. In conventional system, the access time of the semiconductor memory is restricted substantially by the operating time of the address comparator circuit during this operation. Accordingly, for enabling a quick access of the semiconductor memory, an address signal to be supplied to the address comparator circuit is output from a proceeding stage circuit of a plurality of amplification stages which form an address buffer circuit.
