Abstract: Dans les capteurs actifs de l'état antérieur de l'art utilisés pour détecter un mouvement, notamment des capteurs de vitesse de rotation, un signal dont l'amplitude est toujours la même est transmis à un régulateur électronique et les informations d'un codeur sur la vitesse ont la fréquence du signal de sortie. Etant donné toutefois qu'une distance définie entre le capteur (6) et le codeur (5) ne doit pas être dépassée si l'on veut détecter correctement la vitesse de rotation, l'invention prévoit que la distance entre le capteur (6) et le codeur (5) doit être ajustable même dans le cas de capteurs actifs. A cet effet, un circuit électronique faisant partie du capteur (6) modifie de manière significative l'intensité et/ou la forme d'un signal transmis au régulateur électronique (7) en fonction de la distance entre le capteur et le codeur.

Abstract: An improved process and apparatus for the preparation and recovery of maleic anhydride in which the recovery of maleic anhydride from a gaseous reaction mixture includes absorbing the maleic anhydride in a solvent and subsequently stripping maleic anhydride from the solvent to obtain crude maleic anhydride product and regenerated absorbing solvent containing polymeric tars and other contaminants. In accordance with the improvement, at least a portion of the regenerated solvent is contacted in an agitated extraction zone with an aqueous liquid extractant to hydrolyze the polymeric tars, transfer water-soluble contaminants to the aqueous extract phase and produce a mixture comprising an aqueous extract phase containing water-soluble contaminants and an organic raffinate phase comprising regenerated absorbing solvent having a reduced concentration of contaminants. The aqueous extract and organic raffinate are recycled and used again to absorb maleic anhydride.

Abstract: A process for producing ethanol from a vegetable material comprises subjecting the vegetable material to an enzymatic treatment with a mixture of enzymes which is capable of saccharifying the vegetable material and converting the sugars so produced to ethanol. The enzymes used include enzymes capable of degrading cellulose, hemicellulose and starches. The conversion of the sugars produced in the saccharifying step to ethanol is carried out in the presence of a mixture of yeasts selected from the genera Candida, Kluyveromyces, Pischia and Saccharomyces. The entire process is carried out in a single reaction vessel and typically takes less than 3 hours to proceed from the raw material (untreated straw, grain, etc.) to a distilled ethanol product. The yield of ethanol can be increased by adding an enriched glucose solution to the reaction mixture.

Abstract: The invention is related to methods for manufacturing liquid-tight and gas-tight packaging board and a package, and products provided according to the said methods. According to the invention, a polymerizing reaction mixture is spread on paper or a board base of paperboard or cardboard, the mixture containing at least one silicon compound forming an inorganic, chain or crosslinked polymeric backbone containing alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, and at least one reactive, organic compound forming organic side chains and/or crosslinks in the polymeric backbone. The reaction mixture may form a colloidal solution in which, along with the polymerization, gelling takes place, whereupon the thus created gel is dried, densified and cured to form a liquid-tight and gas-tight layer of coating. In addition to oxygen and silicon, the said chain-like or crosslinked polymeric backbone can contain metal atoms which replace the silicon, and the organic compound can contain, as a reactive group, an epoxy, an amino, a carboxyl, a carbonyl, a vinyl or a methacrylate group. Furthermore, a joint-forming polymeric coating can be spread on the previously obtained, tight glassy layer of coating to close the manufactured package. Products, to which the paper or the board coated according to the invention can be applied, include milk and juice containers or similar packages of liquid foodstuffs, bag-type foodstuff packages, heat-sealed, peelable covers of containers and boxes, and microwave and conventional oven trays.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for in vitro creation of molecular libraries evolution of protein function. Particularly, it relates to variability and modification of protein function by shuffling polynucleotide sequence segments. A protein of desired characteristics can be obtained by incorporating variant peptide regions (variant motifs) into defined peptide regions (scaffold sequence). The variant motifs can be obtained from parent DNA which has been subjected to mutagenesis to create a plurality of differently mutated derivatives thereof or they can be obtained from in vivo sequences. These variant motifs can then be incorporated into a scaffold sequence and the resulting coded protein screened for desired characteristics. This method is ideally used for obtaining antibodies with desired characteristics by isolating individual CDR DNA sequences and incorporating them into a scaffold which may, for example, be from a totally different antibody. <IMAGE>
