Abstract: The method is for cooking of cellulose pulp in which the raw material, preferably in the form of chips, undergoes a successive elevation of temperature towards the cooking temperature while the chips are first impregnated with an impregnation liquor followed by cooking in a cooking liquor that is preferably alkali. Through the addition of pre-evaporated black liquor, either as early as the impregnation stage or during the subsequent cooking stage, an improved delignification process is achieved in which the pulp obtains improved properties, primarily with respect to strength/viscosity for a given degree of delignification, and also with respect to yield. The method can be used both for continuous cooking and for batch cooking of cellulose pulp.

Abstract: A hard proof is created that can be visually inspected to determine if it meets industry standards. The proof has a content image portion and color bar image data. To create the hard proof, a sheet of proofing paper is provided that has one or more known good first color bars pre-printed thereon, but no content image portion printed thereon. The content image portion of the proof and one or more second color bars are then printed on the sheet of proofing paper. The one or more second color bars are printed on the proofing paper in a pre-defined relationship to the one or more first color bars so as to allow for visual inspection directly on the proofing paper using only the color bar image data of the first and second color bars, and without using any external color reference materials. A visually discernable color match indicates that a proof which meets industry standards has been made and a visually discernable color mismatch indicates that a proof which meets industry standards has not been made.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a ventilator for ventilating an indoor space by externally discharging indoor air and internally sucking outdoor air. A heat exchanger (60) for exchanging heat between indoor air and outdoor air is installed in a casing (50), passages for externally discharging indoor air and passages for internally sucking outdoor air are formed in the casing (50), and spiral fans (72, 82) are installed on the passages, respectively. Thus, outdoor air can be sucked through the passages for discharging indoor air and indoor air can be discharged through the passages for sucking outdoor air according to the rotation directions of the spiral fans (72, 82). As a result, a lot of indoor air can be discharged and a lot of outdoor air can be sucked at the same time. In addition, the ventilator can automatically discharge alien substances such as dust covered on the heat exchanger when indoor air is sucked.

Abstract: In order to reduce an x-ray dose applied to a patient, it is necessary to know the dose absorbed by the patient. According to the present invention, there is provided a method of determining a local patient dose applied to a patient where after the reconstruction of the scan data into a diagnostic image, the scan data are backprojected into the patient volume, using the attenuation information of the diagnostic image to form a spatially varying photon fluence map. In parallel, the diagnostic image is segmented into anatomical structures to which dose-weighting factors are assigned. The locally absorbed dose is then calculated on the basis of the fluence map and the corresponding dose weights.

Abstract: An improved method for determining endpoint of a time division multiplexed process by monitoring an identified region of a spectral emission of the process at a characteristic process frequency. The region is identified based upon the expected emission spectra of materials used during the time division multiplexed process. The characteristic process frequency is determined based upon the duration of the steps in the time division multiplexed process. Changes in the magnitude of the monitored spectra indicate the endpoint of processes in the time division multiplexed process and transitions between layers of materials.

Abstract: Multiplex overlap-extension RT-PCR provides an efficient method of linking two or more nucleotide sequences encoding for domains or subunits of a heteromeric protein, in a single reaction. Especially, the linkage of variable region encoding sequences from e.g. immunoglobulins, T cell receptors or B cell receptors is eased with the method of the present invention. This allows for a more efficient way of generating libraries of variable region encoding sequences. The capability to perform the multiplex overlap-extension RT-PCR using template derived from an isolated single cell enables the generation of cognate pair libraries in a high-throughput format.
