Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning system includes an air-conditioning
amplifier unit (g) being connected to a plurality of door actuators
(d,e,f) through one communication (h) and one power line (i); and the
air-conditioning amplifier unit (g) having first door-operation
self-diagnostic means (j) which sends to the door actuator target
stopping position data for bringing doors in a full-open condition or
full-close condition; if there is a change in an instruction value,
after the lapse of a preset period of time which takes into account the
time period required for the door to arrive at a target position and a
lag in communication, the self-diagnostic means determining that the
doors are in a normal condition when the signal returned from the door
actuator represents that the doors are in a stopped state but
determining that the doors are in an abnormal condition when the signal
represents that the doors are in an actuated state.

Abstract: A process for replacing a nucleotide sequence in the genome of a mycobacterium strain comprises the steps of:
     a) providing a vector containing  SacB  gene coding for levane saccharase enzyme and a nucleotide sequence of interest;   b) transfecting the mycobacterium strain with the vector;   c) selecting clones of the resulting transfected mycobacteria for replacement of the nucleotide sequence of interest by propagating the transfected clones in a culture medium supplemented with sucrose; and   d) isolating the recombinant strain.    The process is useful for positive selection of allelic exchange mutants, such as in  Mycobacterium tuberculosis  complex.

Abstract: A reservation-based wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) local area network includes a system architecture of mobile nodes (MNs), each MN for communication with various ones of the other MNs. A plurality of services is supported wherein each service has respective quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. A medium access control (MAC) layer using a reservation-based communications protocol is provided, wherein the protocol divides all MAC-based communications between a control channel and a data channel, the control channel and the data channel together making up a control-data superframe (CDS). The protocol further utilizes the control channel for allocating a bandwidth of the data channel to each service. The control channel includes a control frame during which an allocation of data payload slots of the data channel is determined according to (a) a long-term strategy corresponding to a time of service required to complete a service over multiple CDS frames and (b) a short-term strategy within a CDS frame corresponding to instantaneous data payload slot requirements for a particular service. Respective QoS requirements of each service are thus achieved.

Abstract: Low voltage logic circuitry is used to permit an entire
subsystem of an industrial controller to be placed within a
hazardous environment (20) to receive a high speed serial link
(28) and undertake the control of multiple control points without
expensive and awkward long cable runs and electrically isolating
circuits for each cable run. Energy and bandwidth limiting on the
high speed link allows power levels commensurate with high data
rates yet intrinsic safety of the media allowing it to freely
pass in and out of the hazardous area. A mixture of intrinsically
safe and non-intrinsically safe equipment (24' and 24) on the
same logical rack is allowed through a bus isolator (92) providing
isolated data communication in backplane fashion between
modules while wholly isolating power transmission along the backplane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a slide valve for use
in high pressure, high temperature, erosive environments.
The slide valve includes a valve housing, a liner defining a
flow passage within the valve housing through which a medium
which contains fluidized iron oxide particles can pass, a
stationary valve member fixed relative to the flow passage,
and a valve member movable relative to the flow passage and
to the stationary valve member for restricting and/or
blocking flow through the flow passage. The movable valve
member has an orifice therein and is movable between a first
position wherein the orifice is aligned with the flow
passage and a second position wherein the orifice is non-aligned
with the flow passage. The valve is in a fully
closed position when a solid portion of the movable valve
member closes the flow passage. In a partially open or
partially closed position, a solid portion of the movable
valve member partially obstructs the flow passage.

Abstract: Additives, e.g. liquid detergents or solutes from pills, are injected at the suction, rather than the delivery, of the high-pressure pump. The mixing chamber (14) and water inlet socket (11), which forms part of it, is easily removable from the washer casing and hence connected to the pump suction (5) with a flexible pipe. The additive container (28), provided for solids, is screwed into the mixing chamber and is transparent so that the additive level is easily visible. The equipment is designed for an inlet pressure between 4 and 10 bar and a jet pressure between 80 and 100 bar. The arrangement of the mixing chamber (14) is designed to accommodate a solid additive (76). Liquid additives are fed through a line at (53). Low pressure water entering at (21) passes through a filter (19) into control valve (50). This valve permits water to enter, or bypass, a container (28). In the closed position the valve uncovers a vent to atmosphere. The outer housing (2) and particularly the mixing chamber, are plastic injection moldings.
