Title: Method and device for controlled straightening and cooling of wide metal strip, especially steel strip or sheet, running out of a hot-rolled strip mill
Inventor: MATHIES ANDREAS
IPC: C21D1/667
Filed: 2002-11-21
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A method and device for controlled straightening and cooling of a wide metal strip, especially a steel strip (1) or sheet metal, running out of a hot rolled strip rolling mill, using pinching rollers (5) arranged in the moving direction of the strip (2) behind vertical double rollers (3,4), said pinching rollers producing a tensile stress (6) acting in a longitudinal direction. According to the invention, the range of use of conventional sheet metal cooling systems can be extended to obtain a more even surface of said steel strip (1) with an increased cooling effect. This is achieved by displacing the metal strip (1) or sheet metal between a pre-straightening machine (7) and splash cooling facility (8) in defined conditions of tensile stress (6) by adjusting the tensile stress (6) and by cooling said strip or sheet metal inside said splash cooling facility (8) between successive pairs (5a) of pinching rollers and by additionally controlling the tensile stress (6).

Title: Novel flavone c-glycoside derivatives and compositions containing the derivatives
Inventor: ISHIKURA YOSHIYUKI
IPC: A61Q19/10
Filed: 2003-07-03
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel flavone C-glycoside derivatives or salts thereof, especially those showing an anti-allergic effect, and compositions containing them. Recently, cases of allergic diseases, especially pollenosis and atopic dermatitis have increased to such a degree that they have become a social problem.  Flavones and their glycosides have been reported to have the effect of inhibiting histamine release from mast cells or an immunosuppressive effect and expected for application as allergy therapies. However, most flavones exhibit their effects only at high doses, so that effective compounds at lower doses are highly desired. The present invention provides novel components capable of treating allergic diseases at low doses and compositions containing them.

Abstract: A player is permitted to participate in an interactive gaming event from a remote location (fig. 2), such as a hotel room or home computer, once the player's entitlement to participate (S2) has been confirmed using a biometric identifier (S3). Player's entitlement to participate (S2) includes first verifying the identity of a potential player of a gaming event such as by verifying the age of the player. If verified, the fingerprint of the player (S3) is obtained and the fingerprint is stored in association with an assigned identification code (S4 and S5). When a player requests to participate in a gaming event (S6) from a remote location (fig. 2), the player's identification code (S7) is received from the player and is used to locate the corresponding stored fingerprint. The player then transmits their scanned fingerprint (S8).  If the transmitted fingerprint and stored fingerprint match, the player is verified as entitled to participate in the gaming event (S9).

Title: Combinatorial protein library screening by periplasmic expression
Inventor: HARVEY BARRETT R
IPC: C40B30/04
Filed: 2003-07-15
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: The invention overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art by providing a rapid approach for isolating binding proteins capable of binding small molecules and peptides. In the technique, libraries of candidate binding proteins, such as antibody sequences, are expressed in the periplasm of gram negative bacteria and mixed with a labeled ligand. In clones expressing recombinant polypeptides with affinity for the ligand, the concentration of the labeled ligand bound to the binding protein is increased and allows the cells to be isolated from the rest of the library. Where fluorescent labeling of the target ligand is used, cells may be isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). The approach is more rapid than prior art methods and avoids problems associated with the outer surface-expression of ligand fusion proteins employed with phage display. The inventors have also provided improved antobodies that were initially prepared using the sceening methods developed.

Abstract: A sub-sea pumping system for pumping an effluent from a deep-sea wellhead comprising a topside module, a sub-sea module, and an umbilical connection between the topside and sub-sea modules. The umbilical connection comprises a three-phase electrical power line and an hydraulic fluid supply tine to an electrical canned motor. The hydraulic fluid is a single medium fluid, is compatible with the effluent being pumped, and is circulated through the sub-sea module for cooling and for lubricating the seal and bearing arrangements of the motor and the pump. The hydraulic fluid is circulated through a submerged pressure compensator which includes a metal bellows assembly. The compensator is responsive to the pressure of the effluent being pumped and pressurizes the hydraulic fluid flowing through the motor and the pump for the cooling and the lubricating of their respective seat and bearing arrangements at a pressure above the pressure of the effluent being pumped.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes sheet dispensing mechanisms (34, 36, 38, 40). Each sheet dispensing mechanism includes a picking member (72). The picking member rotates, with each rotation generally causing one sheet to be picked from a stack (42) of sheets. The picking member includes movable engaging portions supported on arcuate segments (128, 144). The engaging portions move radially outward to apply additional moving force to an end note bound in the stack responsive to movement of the picking member exceeding the movement of the end note. Sheets are carried in the machine by a transport (54) including a plurality of belt flights (174, 176, 178). Sheets are carried between the belt flights and projecting member portions (180, 182). At least one of the belt flights includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced projections (194, 200, 204, 207) on a sheet engaging surface thereof. The projections provide improved engagement with sheets moving in the transport enabling more reliable movement of sheets.

Abstract: An audio encoder discards spectral components of an input signal and uses channel coupling to reduce the information capacity requirements of an encoded signal. Channel coupling represents selected spectral components of multiple channels of signals in a composite form. An audio decoder synthesizes spectral components to replace the discarded spectral components and generates spectral components for individual channel signals from the coupled-channel signal. The encoder provides scale factors in the encoded signal that improve the efficiency of the decoder to generate output signals that substantially preserve the spectral energy of the original input signals.
