Abstract: A code word for signal type is provided for the transmission of PALplus signals. A partial decoding of the additonal PALplus information is provided for the recording of PALplus signals on S-VHS recorders such that the additional information is recorded as baseband signals. The code word can take into account a partial decoding that has already taken place. When PALplus signals are recorded on S-VHS recorders, the color signal can still only be reproduced in standard form. The playback process for PALplus signals with a reduction of cross effects is known as colour-plus and requires visual storage in the playback device. However, the capacity of this visual storage in a PALplus receiver-decoder is generally available during the playback of PALplus signals recorded on S-VHS recorders and can be advantageously used for quality-enhancing measures. For recorded PALplus signals the signal type code word is made to carry additional information which indicates to the playback device that a recorder PALplus signal is present and thus that a partial decoding, i.e. transposing of the additonal information into the baseband, has taken place. On the basis of this information a corresponding part of the signal decoding in the playback device will then no longer be activated. This expanded code word must now, for reasons of compatibility, be provided also for rerecorded PALplus signals of at least the second generation as well as for PALplus software placed on the market through cassettes. For such prerecorded software it is then possible, using the expanded code word in PALplus recorders, to initiate a lockout that ensures better copy protection.

Abstract: The arrangement (100) comprises a bearer (10) one end of which engages a lifting device and the other end of which projects into an internal longitudinal recess (8) in a stopper rod (2). The stopper rod (2) has a fitting space (17) laterally widening the longitudinal recess (8), the side walls of which, which joint downwards, make a curved or conical transition into the longitudinal recess (8). The bearer (10) has at least one locking member (14, 24) which can be moved by an auxiliary fitting rod (36) insertable into the longitudinal recess (8) in such a way that it projects from the cross-section of the bearer (10) into the fitting space (17). To release the connection, once a nut (7) bearing on the front surface (11) has been released, it is merely necessary to shift the stopper rod (2) further upwards on the bearer (10), whereupon the locking members (14, 24) are automatically moved back into the cross-section of the bearer (10) and the stopper rod (2) can be withdrawn downwards from the bearer (10). It is thus possible to form the fitting space (17) from multi-use pressed sleeves (29) which are inserted at the same time as the ceramic stopper rod material is isostatically pressed.

Abstract: Cation chromatography with solutions at pH less than 6.0 and low ionic strength can be utilized to purify human  alpha -1 proteinase inhibitor ( alpha -1 PI) from biological fluids including plasma and plasma fractions. The cation chromatography takes advantage of the fact that active  alpha -1 PI does not bind to the cation column under these conditions but other proteins, including denatured  alpha -1 PI and albumin, do. The effect is that active  alpha -1 PI flows through the chromatography column leaving the contaminating proteins behind. Recovery of  alpha -1 PI is high and improvement of purity is dramatic.

Abstract: A unitary disposable absorbent article, particularly a catamenial pad or incontinent pad, having stabilizer members along the longitudinal side edges to enable the pad to assume a configuration conforming closely to the perineal area of the human body thereby more readily intercepting bodily discharges and providing a barrier to side soiling. The absorbent articles of the present invention comprise a central absorbent panel; a pair of side wall panels extending outwardly from and along the side borders of the central absorbent panel; and an axis of flexural bending joining each side wall panel to the central absorbent panel. The absorbent articles are constructed of a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet, an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, side flaps extending outwardly from and along the side edges of the absorbent core, and stabilizer members joined in the side wall panels with the laterally innermost edge of the stabilizer member being disposed at or laterally inward from the side edge of the absorbent core. Thus, the stabilizer members increase the flexural stiffness of the side wall panels so that the flexural stiffness of each side wall panel is greater than the flexural stiffness of the central absorbent panel of the absorbent article. The lateral compression of the side wall panels is also greater than the lateral compression of the central absorbent panel to allow the central absorbent panel to buckle and bend upward to conform to the body. Preferably, the stabilizer members are joined to the wearer's surface of the topsheet to further provide a barrier to the lateral flow of liquids along the top surface of the absorbent article.

Abstract: An improved breadmaker not only has a baking pan placed inside a baking chamber above a heater but also a centrifugal fan for pushing air upward therethrough. A partition wall with upper and lower openings separates the fan from the baking pan such that the upwardly pushed hot air is caused to flow downward around the baking pan. The baking pan is thereby heated uniformly and heat energy is efficiently utilized. Many processing programs are stored for producing different kinds of bread by using different ingredients. Each processing program is assigned a code and can be selected by specifying the code associated with it from a control panel. Ingredients to be used in each of the programs may be in a premixed form in a package.

The two films are stacked in closed proximity and are preferably constructed from a substantially transparent flexible material such as mylar. One surface of the inferior film is printed with a plurality of integrated symbols depicting various fluid flow conditions. The superior film functions as a mask over the inferior film and is printed with a pattern of diagonally extending, alternating clear and opaque stripes. The print ratio of the superior film permits viewing at any one time of only one of the symbols printed on the inferior film.

Abstract: Polyol polyesters can be made by a transesterification reaction of a polyol with a lower alkyl fatty acid ester. A by product of that reaction are the alcohols from the lower alkyl esters. These are usually removed from the transesterification reaction by inert gas stripping. The process herein links the transesterification reaction with a lower alkyl ester formation reaction. The transesterification reaction acts as a the source of the lower alkyl alcohols for the formation of the lower alkyl esters used in the polyol fatty acid polyester synthesis. A preferred method for both reactions uses a reactive absorption column.
