Abstract: A standardized test environment assists identifying problematic instances of instructions in computer programs that produce erroneous results caused by dates having years expressed in a truncated form. In one embodiment of a test environment, a computer system collects diagnostic information for instances of subtraction operations that produce negative results. A standardized production environment takes corrective action for specified instances of instructions by modifying one or more values such that the instructions achieve correct results. In one embodiment of a production environment, a computer system intercepts processing of an instruction in a computer program at specified locations and takes corrective action according to information obtained from a table of control information. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The container (1) is typically a glass bottle which is orientated so that any glass debris is concentrated in as small an area as possible. A source of quasi-monochromatic light (17) such as a laser directs a beam through a polarising filter (19) to the area where any debris (15') may be expected. Light from the container (1) is received on a translucent screen (25). It then passes through polarising and interference filters (19,23) to a photoelectric detector such as a video camera (21). The output from the video camera is passed to an image processor (26) via an analogue to digital convertor and analysed according to variations in luminous intensity.

Abstract: A method of screening an agent for potential use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, comprises reacting, in the presence of the agent, tau protein with a suitable sulphated carbohydrate under appropriate conditions to form filaments, and monitoring for the presence of filaments. Tau protein and sulphated carbohydrate, e.g. sulphated glycosaminoglycan, will react under appropriate conditions to form filaments, either paired helical filaments or straight filaments. If filament formation is affected when the reaction is carried out in the presence of an agent being screened, this is possibly due to an interfering, inhibiting or blocking effect of the agent. An agent which inhibits assembly of PHFs in vitro may also have an inhibiting effect in vivo and thus have potential therapeutic value in delaying the dementing effects of Alzheimer's disease. The invention can thus provide a screen to identify agents worthy of further investigation for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: A Venetian type sunshade comprising a plurality of parallel lamellae with horizontally extending respective longitudinal axes, which are adapted to be rotated about their respective longitudinal axes using an adjusting mechanism. The lamellae, or a layer applied on the upper side of the lamellae, consists of a material transparent to sunlight. Each lamella has an upper side, a plurality of ribs, and a third face. Each rib has a first face arranged obliquely relative to the upper side of the lamella and adapted to be irradiated by the sun in an approximately vertical direction, and a second face which is arranged flush and at an acute angle of roughly 45° relative to the first flat element. The third face is approximately orthogonal to the second faces. Adjacent ribs define a mutual spacing which permits a low shade irradiation and emission through the first faces when there is approximately perpendicular irradiation of the first flat elements, with the optical connection between the mutual spacing being within the thickness between the upper side of a lamella and the third face.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a continuous web for a foldable packaging made of a sheet-type material, wherein said web is made from two overlapping sheet portions which are connected together in the overlapping region. This method is characterised in that the two sheet portions are made from a single sheet which travels in the transport direction and is cut longitudinally. At least one sheet portion extends from the plane of the transport direction by pivoting about a first folding axis, wherein said folding axis defines a predetermined angle relative to the transport direction that does not exceed 90 DEG . After travelling over a given deviation distance, the sheet portion returns into the plane of the transport direction by pivoting about a second folding axis which is parallel to the first one so that the longitudinal and overlapping edge areas form the overlapping region. The two longitudinal and overlapping edge areas are further connected together.

Abstract: Recovery of sulfuric acid used in hydrolysis of methylmercaptopropionaldehyde-cyanohydrin is carried out by combustion of sulfates produced during the reaction to give a sulfur dioxide-containing mixture, which is then reacted with hydrogen peroxide. Recovery of sulfuric acid used in hydrolysis of methylmercaptopropionaldehyde-cyanohydrin (MMP-CH) comprises converting sulfate salt precipitates produced during the hydrolysis to SO2 in a furnace. The SO2-containing mixture is passed through an aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, to convert the SO2 back to sulfuric acid. An Independent claim is also included for preparation of 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid (MHA) by hydrolysis of MMP-CH in the presence of sulfuric acid to give MHA and ammonium hydrogen sulfate and/or ammonium sulfate.

Abstract: A brewing system suitable for infusing an infusible substance such as tea. The system resembles a tea pot arrangement with a container (1) for containing water that has a spout (6) and handle (9) and an infusing device (3) for containing an infusible substance, The container defines a reservoir for the water and has a neck (15) which supports the infusing device. The infusing device is a pair of cups (18,24) that are detachably mountable to a central platform to form a pair of infusing chambers. The cups and the platform have air holes. The arrangement of the container and the infusing device is such that in use the infusible substance is loaded into one of the infusing chambers and the orientation of the infusing device is moveable between an infusing orientation whereby the infusing chamber that is loaded with the infusible substance is immersed in the water thus allowing it to infuse into the water and a non-infusing orientation whereby the infusing chamber that does not contain the infusible substance is immersed in the water while the infusing chamber that contains the infusible substance is suspended above the water and thus can no longer infuse into the water. <IMAGE>
