Abstract: To characterize an object (3) to be measured, for example to gauge the thickness (d7) of a layer (7) borne by a substrate (4), an ultrasonic wave (8.1) is transmitted by a measuring device (1). Echo impulses (8.2, 8.5) reflected by boundary surfaces (5, 10) of the object (3) to be measured are detected by the measuring device (1); the measuring signal is digitalised and subjected to an evolution analysis in the time domain. The evolution analysis uses an algorithm which is computation-efficient by orthogonalisation and implemented search strategy. The characteristics of the object to be measured, for example the thicknesses, are determined from the delay time differences of the echo waves (8.2, 3.5).

Title: Iodinated gel filtration media for disinfecting protein solutions
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: A01N59/12
Filed: 1997-06-20
Granted: 2002-10-02
Abstract: A process for disinfecting protein solutions operates by flowing the solutions through a bed of iodinated organic polymer that acts as a gel filtration material. The preferred types of gel filtration material is Sephadex brand cross-linked dextrans, either G-25 or A-25 (DEAE modified Sephadex). The various types of cross-linked dextrans are readily iodinated before use by being mixed dry with elemental iodine at an elevated temperature such as 37 DEG  C. Sephadex brand cross-linked dextrans can be readily iodinated to 50% weight of iodine to weight of dextrans or more. The preferred level of iodination is 30-40%. Before use the used it is first swelled in aqueous medium and then poured into a chromatographic column. Six ml of swelled 30% iodine Sephadex A-25 can effectively destroy virus in at least one liter of 5% human IgG.

Abstract: The harvesting machine has a working unit (10) articulated relative to a chassis (1) which can be orientated in various working directions. There is an anchoring device (20) between the chassis and the work unit which comprises a deformable parallelogram connection. The angular orientation of the unit is operated over a specified raised range by pivoting it around a real or imaginary axis transverse to the direction of advance. This pivoting upwards enables overcoming, in an optimum manner, obstacles encountered on the working surface. An instantaneous centre of rotation is made by the work unit as a function of the nature of the unevenness encountered. This centre of rotation is localised so as to apply a force moment able to slightly tip the unit.

Abstract: The method involves using a carrier for performing at least one processing step, whereby the disc-shaped object is laid in a larger distance on the carrier by using an instrument, with which the object has been taken from a storage container. The distance between the object and the carrier is reduced for the processing step, is increased after finishing the processing step, and the object is removed again and is moved back into the storage container by using the instrument. The distance between the object and the carrier is preferably controlled through a lift arrangement, formed e.g. as pegs arranged vertically to the surface of the object facing the carrier, which can be projected from or retracted into the carrier.

Abstract: It is the object of the present invention to provide an industrially useful process for the manufacture of polyguluronic acids having degrees of polymerization less than 20 and substantially free of mannuronic acid contamination. Alginate salts of organic bases are quite soluble in aqueous solution, and remain soluble in aqueous solution throughout a hydrolysis reaction in the range of pH values at which the acidic hydrolysis is effected at a reasonably fast rate. Based on this finding, a solution containing 5 wt.% or more of alginic acid prepared by dissolving alginic acid in water by neutralization with an organic base is provided and then hydrolyzed under acidic conditions, followed by selective precipitation of polyguluronic acids under acidic conditions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An inductive sensor head for detecting of ferrous or non-ferrous electrically conducting objects, in particular rebars in a surrounding medium like concrete or a brick wall, comprises as essential sensing elements at least one field coil (Fl) with a small axial length compared to its diameter and at least one twin pair of sense coils (A, B) with a small diameter compared to the diameter of the field coil. The number of turns of wire on the field coil is small compared to the number of turns of wire on the sense coils. The common axis of the sense coils (A, B) is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the field coil so that there will be no component or a minimum component of maximum flux that is coaxial with the sense coils. For giving not only positional but also depths information, a twin pair of coaxially arranged identical field coils (F1, F2) is provided which are excitated time sequentially. In a center plane between the field coils an orthogonal arrangement of two twin pairs of sense coils (A, B and C, D) is provided enabling a three-dimensional hidden object positioning.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une station mobile (5), communiquant avec une station de base (10) d'émission à une première fréquence, qui reçoit pour instruction de rechercher des signaux pilotes provenant d'une station de base (20, 22) de destination en vue d'un transfert sec vers cette dernière, et de revenir ensuite à la première fréquence. La station de base (20, 22) de destination fonctionne à une seconde fréquence, f2. La station mobile (5) capture un échantillon précis de signaux à la seconde fréquence et revient rapidement à la première fréquence. L'échantillon est recherché pour déterminer si un transfert est possible. La recherche a lieu, au moins en partie, après retour à la première fréquence. L'avantage de la rapidité du retour est de réduire les effacements qui se produisent inévitablement lorsque la station mobile (5) est en dehors de la première fréquence. Dans la technique antérieure, on attendait que la recherche soit achevée avant de revenir à la première fréquence. Cela entraînait, par conséquent, des effacements inutiles.
