Patent EP-0380470-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BETLACH MICHAEL R
IPC: C12R1/64
Filed: 1987-03-24
Granted: 1995-02-15
Abstract: A recombinant-DNA mediated method for the synthesis of sugar nucleotides is disclosed. This method utilizes portable DNA sequences capable of directing the microbial synthesis of various enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of sugar nucleotides, including UDP-glucose, UDP-glucuronic acid and GDP-mannose. The sugar moieties of these sugar nucleotides may subsequently be incorporated into industrially-useful polysaccharides such as xanthan gum. It has been found that vectors containing the portable DNA sequences described herein are capable both of causing sugar nucleotide production in microorganisms previously incapable of such synthesis and of causing increased sugar nucleotide production in organisms capable of synthesizing small quantities of these compounds. In particular, plasmids pAS7, pAS9 and pTS13 are disclosed. These plasmids are capable of directing sugar nucleotide synthesis in various hosts, including Xanthomonas sp. such as X. campestris and other organisms such as E. coli and various Pseudomonas sp.

Abstract: The safety device has an essentially rectangular pivoting frame (3) which is arranged below the rope drum (1) and can be pivoted on one side about a pivot axis (4) parallel to the rope-drum axis (A) and through which the rope (17) is passed. Rigidly connected to the pivoting frame (3) is an actuating member (9) which, as a function of the position of the pivoting frame (3), acts on a direction-sensitive limit switch (12) in such a way that, in the operating position of the pivoting frame (3), the limit switch (12) releases the power supply to the winch motor for both directions of rotation and, in the raised position of the pivoting frame (3), in a second switch position, releases the power supply only for the downward direction of rotation. On its side remote from the pivot axis (4), the pivoting frame (3) has a roller (6) which constantly bears against the rope (17) and can be rotated about a rotational axis (A1) parallel to the pivot axis (4). The pivoting frame (3) can be pivoted freely downwards. The limit switch (12) is provided with a third switch position into which it is moved when the pivoting frame (3) pivots downwards, the limit switch (12) in its third switch position releasing the power supply only for the upward direction of rotation of the winch motor.

Title: Video imaging system
IPC: G02F1/33
Filed: 1988-01-18
Granted: 1993-07-28
Abstract: A video imaging system is disclosed. The system is responsive to electrical signals introduced into it, which electrical signals represent an image. The system includes an acoustic-optical cell (31), the cell including an anisotropic medium for sound transmittal. The electrical signals are received, and optionally compressed (53), before being introduced into transducers (42) mounted on the cell. The transducers convert the electrical signals into sound waves which traverse the width of the cell. After substantially a full line of display of the image is travelling through the cell, a monochromatic light source (11), such as a metal vapor pulsed laser, is pulsed for a time duration less than the propagation time of a single pixel across or transverse to the sound signal in the cell. This modulates the monochromatic light which is then focused (63, 71) and displayed on a screen (81) at the appropriate position for the line of image.

Abstract: An angiographic catheter (43) includes a relatively soft, tip portion (45) having a preformed curvature, and a resilient body portion (47) extending therefrom having a preformed curvature in the opposite direction. A lumen (49) extends through the catheter for the injection of angiographic dye therethrough to the right coronary artery. The part of the body portion (47) of the catheter which it in the aortic arch of the patient during use has an amount of curvature which is less than the amount of curvature of the aortic arch, so that the body portion of the catheter is resiliently deformed where it passes through the aortic arch. The deformation results in the biassing of the tip portion (45) of the catheter into the ostium of the right coronary artery. Upon insertion into the aorta the preformed catheter is oriented so that the curvature of the body portion of the catheter corresponds in direction to the curvature of the aortic arch, the tip portion of the catheter being disposed above the ostium of the right coronary artery with the distal end of the tip portion touching the wall of the ascending aorta. The tip portion of the catheter is moved down the wall of the ascending aorta until it reaches the ostium of the right coronary artery.

The bearing part has a bearing shell (13) in coaxial, overlapped relation to the collar for rotatably receiving the support pin (38) of the roller blind, and an insertion aperture (14) which extends radially through the shell. When the bearing part is in a rotationally open position, the insertion aperture is aligned with the passage aperture in the collar whereby the support pin can be displaced radially from outside the bearing part to a final positon on the axis in the shell. The bearing part is then rotated to close the passage aperture so that the pin is trapped on the axis within the shell and collar.

Inventor: HOFMANN HANS PETER DIPL-ING
IPC: B66B5/00
Filed: 1989-12-12
Granted: 1994-08-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting physical parameters, in particular motion parameters, of a goods and/or passenger lift, whose car is suspended on a cable pull driven by a driving pulley. It is the object of the invention to propose a test method for such lifts in which there is a reduction in the amount of work by contrast with previously known test methods, while the test quality is simultaneously increased. According to the invention, this object is achieved when the physical parameters of the lift are determined by connecting at least one displacement sensor to the cable pull and/or the driving pulley in order to generate displacement signals, by connecting the displacement sensors to an evaluation unit which contains a time generator, in order to feed the displacement signals to the evaluation unit, and by connecting the evaluation unit to switching points of the control circuit, at which signals are present which control the sequence of motions of the lift, in order to determine physical parameters from the displacement signals and the control signals. The method can be used advantageously to check the drivability of the driving pulley.

Filed: 1989-12-18
Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: There is a lubricant pump having a compressed air piston motor in which a control device has a slide 14 which can move under the influence of a spring 29. In this case it is desirable if the spring device is separated from the compressed air flow, subject to the avoidance of remote control and hairpin springs. This is achieved in that the slide is an axially displaceable piston slide 14, in that a radially acting spring catch 17 is provided, having two latching slots 16, separated from one another in the axial direction, in that the piston rod 7 carries a helical compression spring 29 in a recess of the piston slide 14 and in that the piston rod 7 can be moved by the force of the compressed helical compression spring 29, subject to compression of the helical compression spring 29 and on overcoming the spring catch 17, 16 by means of a control stop 33. In this lubricant pump, the helical compression spring is arranged between the piston rod and the slide.
