Patent EP-0142989-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FRAZE RAYMOND EDWARD
IPC: A01G31/02
Filed: 1984-11-15
Abstract: A modular plant propagation system and apparatus utilizes a first or lower hermetically sealed reservoir containing a liquid plant nutrient in fluid communication with a second or upper partially hermetically seated reservoir in which a plant propagation support module utilizes a sterile, low water retention, linear foam plastic providing fluid communication between the exterior and interior of the second or upper reservoir. The nutrient fluid in the first nutrient reservoir is forced up into the second reservoir by compressed gas for predetermined cycles and periods of time to provide nutrients to the roots of the plants supported by the linear foam plant propagation support module. A computer is used to control air and root temperatures, humidity, nutrient quality, nutrient cycling rate and level in the first and second reservoirs and utilizes an image recognition apparatus to measure plant growth rate and produce maturity or ripeness to achieve optimum or maximum growth rate potential for the plant being propagated. 
     A self-contained nutrient plant propagation module utilizes a sterile, low water retention, linear foam plastic in which generally parallel, elongated interconnecting cellular channels provide fluid communication from the top of the module to the bottom of the module in which is uniformly disbursed a comminuted, water soluble, time release plant nutrient.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel polypeptides possessing part or all of the primary structural conformation and one or more of the biological properties of mammalian erythropoietin ('EPO') which are characterized in preferred forms by being the product of procaryotic or eucaryotic host expression of an exogenous DNA sequence. 
     Illustratively, genomic DNA, cDNA and manufactured DNA sequences coding for part or all of the sequence of amino acid residues of EPO or for analogs thereof are incorporated into autonomously replicating plasmid or viral vectors employed to transform or transfect suitable procaryotic or eucaryotic host cells such as bacteria, yeast or vertebrate cells in culture. Upon isolation from culture media or cellular lysates or fragments, products of expression of the DNA sequences display, e.g., the immunological properties and in vitro and in vivo biological activities of EPO of human or monkey species origins. Disclosed also are chemically synthesized polypeptides sharing the biochemical and immunological properties of EPO. Also disclosed are improved methods for the detection of specific single stranded polynucleotides in a heterologous cellular or viral sample prepared from, e.g., DNA present in a plasmid or viralbome cDNA or genomic DNA 'library'.

Abstract: A method of defining narrow regions in an underlying integrated circuit structure includes the steps of depositing a first layer of material 12 having selected etching characteristics on the underlying integrated circuit structure, depositing a second layer of material 13 having etching characteristics different from the first layer 12 on the first layer 12, anisotropically etching the first layer 12 and the second layer 13 from all of the underlying integrated circuit structure 10 except for a desired region having a periphery which includes the narrow region, forming a coating 15 of smoothing material over all of the underlying integrated circuit structure 10 except for the first layer 12, and isotropically etching the first layer 12 to remove it from the surface of the underlying integrated circuit structure 10 to thereby define the narrow region. Use of the process to fabricate a compact bipolar transistor structure is also disclosed.

Abstract: The system has mobile switching centres to the public telephone network, the mobile switching centres being integrated in local exchanges such as large private branch exchanges with direct dialling. Subscribers of "registered" mobile radiotelephone stations can be dialled directly by means of a code number other than 1 and other than 0 via the mobile switching centres responsible in the area in which they are located by subscribers for whom this mobile switching centre is the first reached when the call is set up. Subscribers of mobile radiotelephone stations cannot be dialled directly by pulse dialling via that mobile switching centre responsible for the area in which they are located by subscribers for whom this mobile switching centre is not the first reached when the call is set up. When dialling from the first mobile switching centre to the second mobile switching centre, the number of the second switching centre to be dialled is terminated by the code "1", after which the selected direct-dialling transmission in the exchange emits an "end of selection" code. The speech path to this second switching centre is connected through. The other dial digits are transmitted by means of voice-frequency signals. This is followed by connecting through. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A heat transfer element has through holes (17,19) formed as a narrow entrance opening (19) to one surface and a wider diameter cavity opening (17) to the other surface. Two foils (12a,12b) are laminated with the narrow entrances opening to the outside and with the wider cavities closed by the inside surface (22b) of the other foil. In the completed structure the cavities and their entrances form nucleate boiling sites. In a manufacturing step of forming the through holes, the junction (21) between the narrow entrance and the wider diameter cavity is shaped to prevent a heat transfer liquid from flooding the cavities. The structure is particularly useful for fins for cooling circuit devices that are immersed in a dielectric liquid. In one heat transfer structure, the fins are formed by laminating two metal foils that have differing co­efficients of thermal expansion. The fins spread apart as their temperature increases, and components are cooled in proportion to the heat they produce.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selecting a reference scan line for two-dimensional image coding preferably compatible with known facsimile transmission equipment are disclosed. Selection of a reference scan line in accordance with the method and apparatus of the invention allows data compression for facsimile transmission so that the cost for use of the communication link is reduced. More than one previous scan line is considered as a candidate reference scan line. A reference scan line is selected from among a plurality of previous scan lines, for example, the immediately preceding ten scan lines. The preselected or adaptively selected scan line among the multiple prior scan lines, more particularly, the previous scan line which is most similar to the current scan line to be coded, is selected as the reference scan line. The reference scan line is then fed with the current scan line to be coded to a two-dimensional data compression coding process so as to yield optimum data compression. This reduces the amount of image data transmitted and lowers the cost of operation of the facsimile transmission apparatus.

Abstract: A method of removing sodium ions from an alkaline aqeuous solution such as a leach solution which contains dissolved sodium tungstate. The method involves passing the solutions through the anode compartment of an electrolytic cell and passing an electrical direct current through the cell causing the sodium ions to pass through the cation selective membrane and tungstic acid to be produced in the anode compartment. Sodium-containing alkali is bled from the cathode compartment at a rate sufficient to prevent build-up of alkali in the cathode compartment. The tungstic acid is typically converted to ammonium tungstate by treatment with ammonia and then the ammonium tungstate further treated for recovery of the tungsten values.
