Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the surface modification of polymer membranes, in order to improve their antifouling behaviour against proteins. For this purpose the polymer membranes are coated with organically modified silanes of the formula (I) <IMAGE>  in which  X = H, alkyl, aryl or aralkyl, each having C1 to C20,  R' = alkyl, aryl aralkyl, each having C1 to C20, or Y, and Y = OR, OOCR or NRR'', where R = alkyl, aryl or aralkyl, each having C1 to C20, and R'' = H or R, or with mixtures of these organically modified silanes (I). The polymer membranes modified in this way show, in comparison to untreated membranes, a greatly decreased reduction in cross-membrane flow following contact with proteins.

Abstract: In a scanning line number converting device, a video signal is converted into a digital signal, its scanning lines being thinned out by a thinning-out circuit (5) in the vertical direction to reduce the vertical direction sampling frequency and interpolated so as to form a non-interlace signal. The non-interlace signal is written in a frame memory (7), under control of a writing control circuit (8). A field determination circuit (15) determines a field of a video signal used as reference. According to this determination output, the non-interlace signal is read out of the frame memory while undergoing a conversion into an interlace signal such that its interlace sequence corresponds to that of the reference video signal, resulting in a conversion of the scanning line number. A down-converter for converting a high-resolution TV signal into an NTS signal is configured using this scanning line number converting device. Also, a picture-in-picture television is configures using the scanning line number converting device so as to thin out the scanning lines of a video signal of a sub-picture inserted into a main picture.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating peas based upon differences in density. The apparatus includes a flow trough having a flow manifold. A pump takes water from a reservoir and delivers the water to the flow manifold. A flow nipple having a lip portion extending into the flow manifold and turning vanes within the flow manifold distribute the water to create a substantially laminar flow. Fixed and pivotable water deflectors at an inlet portion of the flow trough establish a linear, laminar flow of water along the flow trough. A hopper and conveyor combination deliver a stream of peas to an adjustable plate member positioned in the laminar flow of water in the flow trough. The peas carried by the laminar flow of water descend off of the plate member into a separating chamber where peas having a high density range settle into a first collecting chamber and peas with a low density range settle into a second collecting chamber. A adjustable separating vane separates the first and second collecting chambers and together with the plate member is adjusted to accommodate batches of peas having differing density characteristics.

Abstract: An electronic filing apparatus is provided in which a logical page number of an image data item is read out from a specified area when the image data item is input and the logical page number is set to correspond to a physical page number determined by the actual input order of the image data items. When the image data is retrieved, the image data items are displayed in the order of the logical page numbers. The registering operation will not be interrupted even when the order of the logical pages is wrong at the input time. Therefore, the registering operation can be continuously effected irrespective of the input order of the image data items and time and labor for interrupting the registering operation when the page order is detected to be wrong at the time of input of the image data items or inputting the image data items again can be reduced.

Abstract: A pipelined CPU executing instructions of variable length, and referencing memory using various data widths. Macroinstruction pipelining is employed (instead of microinstruction pipelining), with queueing between units of the CPU to allow flexibility in instruction execution times. A wide bandwidth is available for memory access; fetching 64-bit data blocks on each cycle. A hierarchical cache arrangement has an improved method of cache set selection, increasing the likelihood of a cache hit. A writeback cache is used (instead of writethrough) and writeback is allowed to proceed even though other accesses are suppressed due to queues being full. A branch prediction method employs a branch history table which records the taken vs. not-taken history of branch opcodes recently used, and uses an empirical algorithm to predict which way the next occurrence of this branch will go, based upon the history table. A floating point processor function is integrated on-chip, with enhanced speed due to a bypass technique; a trial mini-rounding is done on low-order bits of the result, and if correct, the last stage of the floating point processor can be bypassed, saving one cycle of latency. For CAL type instructions, a method for determining which registers need to be saved is executed in a minimum number of cycles, examining groups of register mask bits at one time. Internal processor registers are accessed with short (byte width) addresses instead of full physical addresses as used for memory and I/O references, but off-chip processor registers are memory-mapped and accessed by the same busses using the same controls as the memory and I/O. If a non-recoverable error detected by ECC circuits in the cache, an error transition mode is entered wherein the cache operates under limited access rules, allowing a maximum of access by the system for data blocks owned by the cache, but yet minimizing changes to the cache data so that diagnostics may be run. Separate queues are provided for the return data from memory and cache invalidates, yet the order or bus transactions is maintained by a pointer arrangement. The bus protocol used by the CPU to communicate with the system bus is of the pended type, with transactions on the bus identified by an ID field specifying the originator, and arbitration for bus grant goes one simultaneously with address/data transactions on the bus.

Abstract: An automated interactive customer class identification and contacting system for use in or for a cellular mobile radiotelephone (CMR) system. A mobile radiotelephone provides identification information as it originates a call or registers into thee CMR system by powering up or initially entering the area of coverage of a cell. This identification information is monitored by a detection module, and predetermined identifying characteristics derived from the identification information identify the registering mobile radiotelephone as a member of a predetermined class, such as roamers. An interactive module places a telephone call to the registering mobile radiotelephone and provides synthesized voice message information targeted to the specific class of radiotelephones, for example, roamers. The interactive module is further responsive to DTMF inputs from the user of the telephone, for example to select services offered by the cellular system operator, block further solicitations, provide information requested by the cellular system operator, and the like. A database module stores information associated with the mobile telephone such as acceptance or rejection of services, last time of detection or solicitation, and the like.
