Abstract: A natural gas is deacidized by contacting the natural gas with solvent containing methanol, water and amine, for two times, and distilling the first fraction of partly regenerated solvent. A second fraction of partly regenerated solvent is mixed with fourth solvent drawn-off at point of distillation column. The draw-off point is determined for the proportion by mole of methanol of first solvent to be higher than that of the second solvent.  Deacidizing of a natural gas comprises contacting the natural gas with a first solvent containing methanol, water, and amine and with a third solvent containing acid gases so as to obtain a methanol-containing gas and acid gas-containing solvent. The obtained gas is contacted with a second solvent containing methanol, water and amine so as to obtain a gas partly freed of acid gases and the third solvent containing the acid gas. The acid gas-containing solvent is expanded to release acid gases and to obtain a partly regenerated solvent. A first fraction of the partly regenerated solvent is distilled to obtain a gas phase containing acid gases and the second solvent. A second fraction of partly regenerated solvent is mixed with a fourth solvent drawn off at a point of distillation column to obtain the first solvent. The draw-off point is determined for the proportion by mole of methanol of first solvent to be higher than that of the second solvent.

Abstract: A pasta cooker has a base carrying a bowl having an electrical heater. A basket can move between a lower position immersed in water in the bowl and an upper position largely out of the bowl. A stirring element rotatably mounted on the basket carries a paddle projecting upward into the basket. A controller energizes the heater to bring the water in the bowl to a boil, then lowers the basket into it. The stirring element fits with a drive in the base so it can rotate and stir the water and any foodstuff in the bowl in the boiling water. After an interval preset in a timer elapses, the controller lifts the basket out of the bowl.

Abstract: Circuit amplificateur qui comporte des premières et seconde branches de courant, chaque branche comprenant un transistor d'entrée et un transistor cascode. Les entrées de l'amplificateur sont couplées à des électrodes de commande des transistors d'entrée dans chacune des branches de courant. Les électrodes de commande des transistors cascode sont couplées les unes aux autres. Un couplage à haute fréquence est établi entre les électrodes de commande des transistors cascode et un noeud de la source de courant commune, pour coupler pratiquement les modifications de tension de mode commun des bornes des principales voies de courant des transistors d'entrée aux modifications de tension au niveau des électrodes de commande des transistors cascode. Par conséquent, les modifications de la différence entre les tensions aux différentes bornes de chaque transistor d'entrée sont pratiquement éliminées, ce qui empêche des courants parasites d'aller de l'électrode de commande du transistor d'entrée à la voie de courant principale des transistors cascode, courants parasites qui réduiraient le taux de rejet en mode commun et, partant, la linéarité de l'amplificateur.

Abstract: An R-C oscillator ( 200 ) is configured to vary the two voltage levels that are used to control the oscillation, such that the variation in oscillation frequency with temperature is minimized. A first resistor (R 1 ) is used to control one of the voltage levels, and a second resistor (R 2 ) having a temperature coefficient that differs from the temperature coefficient of the first transistor is used to control the other voltage level. The first resistor (R 1 ) also controls the current used to charge and discharge the capacitor (C) used to effect the oscillation. By the appropriate choice of resistance values, the variations of the control voltages and current are such that the time to charge and discharge the capacitor (C) between the control voltages remains substantially constant with temperature. Preferably the resistance values are selected to also compensate for temperature variations in the delay of the feedback loop.

(I) has a 10 amino acid sequence (S1) fully defined in the specification, a sequence derived from the MUC-1 signal peptide, especially a 9 amino acid sequence (S2) fully defined in the specification, and/or modified forms of both. (I) has the formula (S1) and/or (S2).

ACTIVITY : Antitumor. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Induction of cytotoxic T cells that are antigen-specific and have HLA-A2-restricted activity against MUC-1-expressing tumor cells. Dendritic cells were incubated with (I) in presence of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells to induce cytotoxic T cells. These were then tested for lytic ability against tumor cells and were able to lyze those that expressed both HLA-A2 and MUC-1 (e.g. MCF-7 breast cancer cells) but were not active against cells that lacked expression of either HLA-A2 or MUC-1.

Abstract: When a decision is made that a vehicle has a risk of collision, the main control section of a control unit (13) drives for rotating a motor (12) in the winding direction of a seatbelt (3) to increase tension thereof. When the seatbelt (3) has a specified tension, the main control section sustains driving of the motor (12) for winding the seatbelt (3) for a specified duration if a decision is made that a lock signal has been inputted, otherwise lowers the driving force of the motor (12) thus lowering tension of the seatbelt (3). Since tension of the seatbelt (3) is controlled to immediately lower so long as no lock signal is delivered from a lock signal generating section (18) even if a collision risk signal is delivered erroneously from a collision risk judging section (11), a passenger (A) can avoid unpleasant feeling due to useless restriction by the seatbelt (3) over a relatively long time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a negative pressure booster of the present invention, a threshold line for starting a BA operation at a pedal step-in speed equal to or more than a predetermined speed is set, an inclination of the threshold line is set to a value equal to a servo ratio SR2 smaller than a servo ratio SR1 during a usual braking operation in a low input region (a small pedal step-in region) and is set to a value equal to the servo ratio SR1 during the usual braking operation in a high input region (a large pedal step-in region). That is, the threshold line for starting the BA operation is adjustable between the high input time and the low input time. Further, even when a brake pedal is stepped in at the step-in speed equal to or more than the predetermined speed in spite of a fact that the time when the braking is performed is not an emergency time, the BA operation is not performed and hence, an undesired BA operation can be prevented. In emergency and, at the same time, when the brake pedal is stepped in at the step-in speed equal to or more than the predetermined speed and with a step-in force equal to or more than a predetermined step-in force, the BA operation is started.

Abstract: The present invention provides for improved brightness and reduced power consumption in transflective displays operating in transmissive mode. The invention is based on the inclusion of a depolarizing means (206) between the transflector (201) and the rear stack polarizer (202). The depolarizer (206) is arranged to selectively depolarize light originating from the backlight (203) and reflected by the transflector (201), without substantially affecting the light that is transmitted through the transflector. Thereby part of the reflected light is transmitted back through the rear stack polarizer (202) and can be recycled in the backlight (203). The invention is applicable to any transflective display having a transflector (201) that changes polarization of light originating from the backlight (203) upon reflection back towards the backlight (202).
