Patent DE-69612754-T2 (DE)

Abstract: The invention provides methods of detecting poor meat quality in live animals using infrared thermography. Animals from a group of live domestic animals such as cattle or swine are scanned to produce thermographic images. The images are then statistically analyzed to determine a measure of central tendency such as the mean temperature for each animal's image and for all of the images in the group. A measure of dispersion from the measure of central tendency, such as standard deviation is determined. Then, animals are rejected as having a high probability of producing poor meat quality if the measure of central tendency for that animal's temperature differs from the measure of central tendency for the group by more than 0.9 standard deviations. Alternatively a set percent of animals are rejected, preferably up to 20%, these being animals whose measures of central tendency differ the most from the measure of central tendency for the group. When mean temperature is used as a measure of central tendency, the method is preferably practised by rejecting animals whose mean temperature differs from the group mean temperature by more than 1.28 times the standard deviation for the group. The method is particularly useful in detecting high probability of poor meat quality in groups of animals in an antemortem environment which have mean temperatures significantly above or below the normal surface temperatures for unstressed animals.

Abstract: Methods related to solid supports for binding reactions are disclosed. The present invention provides procedures for prepaing solid supports, and their use in binding assays, such that non-specific background on the solid supports is reduced. The reduction of non-specific background permits the detection of low levels of specific binding which normally would be masked by the non-specific binding. The methods are applicable to a variety of target ligands and probes, including nucleic acids such as oligonucleotides.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for increasing HDL cholesterol in a mammal by stimulating an immune response that inhibits the function of CETP. Such an immune response can be induced by immunizing with CETP or fragments of CETP (together termed "CETP Peptides") which contain an epitope capable of stimulating such a response. The peptides can be conjugated to a carrier, such as KLH or ovalbumin, in order to increase immunogenicity. Adjuvants can also be administered.

Abstract: The method involves forming smoothed images from a digital image using a number of different scales. The pixels at the edges of each smoothed image are extracted. Median potential pixels associated with the centre of a circle related to the scales by a constant of proportionality are extracted. The median potential pixels are used to ensure the centre of the circle and the pixels at the edges of the image are aligned. The median value pixels are extracted by a first selection of pixels using the smoothed images. A second extraction of the median value pixels is performed according to the direction of image alignment. The extracted median potential pixels are used to form a 'skeleton' for the image object.

Through use of the method there is detected by means of a video camera the container when moved in a lying posture into or past a detection zone of the video camera and the manner by which the container is inserted at said inlet. Further, there is determined whether the container is moved into the detection zone with its first end first or with its second end first. If the container is delivered into the detection zone with its first end first, the container is transported to said outlet. If, however, the container is delivered into the detection zone with its second end first, then the container is caused to be returned to the inlet. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: A band clamp for pipe joints is disclosed comprising a band with confronting sidewalls when wrapped around pipes to be coupled. The clamping mechanism includes a pair of force bars outboard of the sidewalls and a spline with concave surfaces on opposite sides, the spline being disposed between the end flanges. A bolt extends through bolt holes and draws the flanges against the spline to stretch the band around the pipes when the bolt is tightened against the force bars. The sidewalls have lateral flanges which overhang the spline to arrest movement of the sidewalls relative to the spline to obtain alignment of the bolt holes when the clamp is tightened. In some embodiments, the band is folded back on itself to form a double thickness which extends from the upper end of each sidewall to a point beyond the lower end of the sidewall and provides an inverted flap sandwiched between the clamp band and the pipe. The inverted flap may be secured to the band by mechanical interlock between the layers.
