Filed: 1997-05-09
Abstract: (57)【要約】
音声およびデータのネットワークでのコンピュータ制御交換装置間に接続される２方向トランク群における方向依存的占有分割の方法を提供する。この交通管理方法により、一方では２方向のトランク群の完全な能力を確保し、他方では１つの交通方向が一時的に優勢である場合に、別方向の交通の流れが影響を受けず、または排除されないことが可能となる。交換装置（ＶＥ ＡおよびＶＥ Ｂ）において、それらに連絡する２方向のトランク群のために、出方向と入り方向への交通の比がつねにインプットされる。分割比（ＴＶ）は通常の場合に出方向と入り方向において流れる交通分に従う。トランク群の各トランクの占有および占有方向は、交換装置（ＶＥ ＡおよびＶＥ Ｂ）のそれぞれからつねに観察される。トランク群の１つ以上が自由であるかぎり、出入り交通間の比は自由に揺れることができる。すなわち、両方の交換装置ＶＥ ＡおよびＶＥ Ｂは到着する占有が要求するようにトランクにアクセスする。１つのトランクのみが自由である場合は、実分割比（Ｉｓｔ−Ｔｖ）が観察され、予想基準分割比（Ｓｏｌｌ−ＴＶ）に適合される。

Patent JP-H11509932-A (JP)
IPC: G01N21/43
Filed: 1997-05-20
Abstract: A compact rain sensor for mounting on the inner surface of a windshield includes collimator lenses and a detachable prismatic coupler to facilitate the mounting of emitters and detectors on a circuit board which is positioned parallel to the inner surface of the windshield. A thin optical coupler is adhesively secured to the windshield. A sensor housing is detachably secured about the outer edges of the coupler. Within the sensor housing, surface-mounted infrared emitters and detectors, as well as signal processing circuitry, are all mounted on a single printed circuit board secured in the housing. When the sensor housing is mounted on the coupler, the printed circuit board is parallel to the inner surface of the windshield and in close proximity thereto. In operation, a light beam from the emitter enters the windshield at a forty-five degree angle and is reflected back from the outer surface of the windshield to the detector, which generates a control signal based on the amount of light reflected from the outer surface. Moisture on the outer surface of the windshield reduces the amount of light reflected to the detector. Surface mounted emitters and detectors, which are very cost and space efficient, are mounted on the circuit board with an initial optical axis perpendicular to the circuit board. In order to achieve the desired forty-five degree angle of entry into the windshield, the light beam emitted from the emitter is reflected, refracted, and collimated prior to entry into the windshield by collimator lenses mounted on the circuit board and by prismatic regions formed in the coupler.

Inventor: SALANKI TIBOR
IPC: H01B17/14
Filed: 1985-07-17
Abstract: Hermetically sealed fiber optic cables (LW) are conducted through an insulator column consisting of several hollow insulators. The fiber optic cables (LW) are fastened to a support element (TE), whose one end is connected to the reference potential and whose other end is connected to a high voltage. The support element (TE) is characterized by a surface having only limited electrical conductivity. This assures that, as a result of the even field strength distribution thus guaranteed, no impermissibly high voltages are impressed on the fiber optic cable (LW). A non-conductive tube (GV) for conveying gas is wound around the support element (TE).

Title: Purification of immunoglobulins from plasma and plasma fractions using macro-porous anion exchange resin
Inventor: BERTOLINI JOSEPH
IPC: C07K16/00
Filed: 1997-08-07
Abstract: A method for the purification and recovery of immunoglobins from plasma or other immunoglobin containing material is described. The method comprises subjecting the material to chromatographic fractionation on a macro-porous anion-exchange resin. The resin has a pore size of greater than 1000 Angstroms and the fractionation is performed at a pH of 6.0 to 6.6 and conductivity of 0.7 to 1.5 mS/cm.

Adsorption occurs on a finely divided silicon dioxide adsorbent having particle size between 5 and 50nm at a pH of 5.2 to 7.2 and a conductivity of 6 to 12 mS/cm. This produces dilapidated material which is subsequently fractionated by anion-exchange.
