Patent EP-0553076-B1 (EP)

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for washing a filter intended for cleansing a contaminated liquid and comprising a granular bed, a drainage system located beneath the bed, means for introducing first and second liquid flows into the bed, wherein the first liquid flow is operative to fluidize solely upper bed layers at least locally, and the second liquid flow is operative to fluidize the bed throughout the whole of its depth. The novel method is characterized by ejecting the flows of liquid selectively into the bed through orifices which are placed in the bed at a location between the highest point and the lowest point therein and which are substantially equidistant from the upper surface of the bed; and by introducing the first liquid stream into the upper layers of said bed in a smaller quantity and at a corresponding smaller flow rate than the second liquid stream, such that the bed layers located beneath these upper layers will be unaffected by the ongoing bed washing operation.

Abstract: A feed additive for ruminant prepared by dispersing an active substance such as amino acids or vitamins in a protective substance mainly comprising metallic salts of fatty acid mixtures and granulating the dispersion and employed to allow the active substance to bypass the rumen to be digested and absorbed in the abomasum and the subsequent stomachs. It now becomes possible to well balance the active substance between the capability of bypassing the rumen and the digestibility and absorbability in the abomasum and the subsequent stomachs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a purified stress protein of 86 Kd and fragments thereof isolated from the genus Corynebacterium. Particular fragments include those with apparent molecular weights of 50 Kd and 52 Kd. The stress protein has been found to be an immunodominant conserved antigen. Patients with Corynebacterium jeikeium septicemia or endocarditis have antibody to the 52 Kd breakdown product. The protein cross-reacts with a peptide antigen KVIRKNIVKKMIE (see SEQ ID No. 1) using a mouse monoclonal antibody against the peptide. The stress protein is useful for improved diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of Corynebacterium infections and diseases.

Abstract: The two-part injection mould 1 is connected by means of a fixed moulding plate 6 to the cylinder housing 2, whilst the travelling piston 4, which can be extended out of the cylinder housing 2, engages with an adjustable mounting plate 7. A hollow-cylindrical recess in the travelling piston 4 forms a pressure chamber 42, into which the piston rod 34 of a pressure piston disposed below in the cylinder housing 2 is immersed. The injection mould 1 is moved into the clamping position using pressure fluid, which is introduced into the pressure chamber 42 via a control valve 45 through a longitudinal bore 39 in the pressure piston 3, external air being sucked through a radial bore 24 into the opening annular chamber 9 of the cylinder housing 2. With the supply of pressure fluid below the pressure piston 3, the piston surface of said pressure piston acts as a pressure transformer with respect to the piston rod 34, and, via the pressure increase in the pressure chamber 42, reinforces the force for locking the mould 1. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Two Hepatitis C Virus envelope proteins (E1 and E2) are expressed without sialylation. Recombinant expression of these proteins in lower eukaryotes, or in mammalian cells in which terminal glycosylation is blocked, results in recombinant proteins which are more similar to native HCV glycoproteins. When isolated by GNA lectin affinity, the E1 and E2 proteins aggregate into virus-like particles. Cells bearing a mannose receptor or asialoglycoprotein receptor are capable of being infected with HCV, and supporting culturing of the virus.

In a system with time multiplexing, a filter disc on the input side rotates in common with another filter disc on the output side. In another system with space multiplexing, the color separated images are obtained by beam splitting side by side on the input surface of the image intensifier and are then combined either with analogous means (filters and reverse beam splitter) or with TV methods.

Long-wave sound is transmitted into a measurement pipe (10). The sound signals passing in the gas flow downstream and upstream are detected by means of two sound detectors (14a, 14b) placed in connection with the measurement pipe (10) at a specified distance (L) from one another, the flow velocity (v) of the gas that flows in the measurement pipe (10) being determined by making use of polarity correlation (15;151,152) of said signals. The frequency of the sound that is transmitted into the measurement pipe (10) is scanned between a certain minimum and maximum frequency (fmin, . . . fmax). The measurement signals (fa(t), fb(t)) arriving from the two sound detectors (14a, 14b) are passed to a narrow-band filter (17a, 17b) or system of filters (17a1, 17a2, 17b1, 17b 2). The passband of said filters (17) is scanned synchronously with the frequency scanning of the sound transmission. The duration of the frequency scanning and the width of the passband of said filters (17) are chosen so that, at the moment of the measurement sequence, the measurement signal detected by each sound detector (14a, 14b) has access through its filter (17) substantially without attenuation, as well as so that the interference frequencies substantially different from the mean frequency (f0) of the filters (17) are attenuated significantly.
