Patent EP-0599651-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ANDRE GERALD
IPC: C12N1/02
Filed: 1993-11-25
Abstract: A bioreactor for perfusion culture of suspension cells has an inversely- conical tank which includes a cell culture zone and a cell settling zone disposed annularly relative to the cell culture zone in the upper region of the tank. The cell settling zone is adjacent to the conical walls of the tank and has a number of frustoconlcal lamellar elements. The two zones are separated with a partition which allows the zones to communicate only below the partition. Cell culture medium supplied to the culture zone overflows at the top of the settling zone after having passed through the settling zone between the lamellar elements. Due to the conical shape of the tank and the resulting shape of the settling zone, passages of upwardly increasing cross section are created in the settling zone thus enabling the settling of live cells in the settling zone and their return to the culture zone while the spent medium overflows. The design is relatively easy to scale up.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical induction watt hour meter having a rotatable disc and a projection on the base directed into the meter terminating in proximity of the rotatable disc. The projection is part of a pulse initiator system where a pulse signal is transmitted through a selected area of the base that is transparent to the signal. A signal is generated externally of the meter and chopped by rotation of the disc providing a pulse signal that passes through the base of the meter to a receptor externally of the meter. The signal generator and the pulse signal receptor are both located in the enclosure defined by the base of the meter and the receptacle socket for the meter. The generated signal is disclosed as a light beam that, by way of light guides on the meter base, is directed to one side of the rotating disc and is directed by the light guide to the other side of the disc where another light guide returns the chapped or pulsed signal to a receptor externally of the meter.

Abstract: In bidirectional inkjet printing, in certain situations the printer uses relatively large amounts of ink -- in relation to the amount of liquid carrier that can be absorbed by or evaporated from the printing medium that is in use. For example, this occurs when a printer does double-ink-drop (34,34') printing on transparency stock, particularly for particular colors (e.g., cyan). In such situations an undesirable, unesthetic mottling effect can arise. It has been discovered that, in this case, print quality can be improved by deliberately selecting a relatively large amount of jitter or random variation (t 4 -t 1 , t 4 '-t 1 ') in firing time within each pixel column -- actually the equivalent of about one eighth of a column width.

Abstract: A line printing system which utilizes an array (80) of asymmetrical Fabry-Perot light valves (C 1 ,C 2  etc) for simultaneously transferring all pixel information of one raster line onto a photoreceptor (88). The number of elements of the light valve array used in this invention is equal to the number of pixels on a raster line. The pixel information is applied to elements of the light valve array in a parallel format with information representing each pixel applied to one elemental light valve of the array. The array is illuminated by a wedge-shaped incident light beam (64) forming a focussed line image. Depending on the information state of each pixel, each corresponding element will be activated to absorb incident light or left in its neutral state to reflect the light. Light reflected by neutral elements (C 2 ,C 5 ) will be directed onto the photoreceptor. In this fashion, the photoreceptor simultaneously receives the pixel information for the entire raster line. In another mode, the elements will be activated to reflect the light beam and will be left in their neutral state to absorb the light beam.

Abstract: A combustion method and apparatus in which combustible matter, e.g., waste matter, coal, etc., is gasified to produce a combustible gas containing a sufficiently large amount of combustible component to melt the ash by its own heat. A fluidized-bed furnace (2) has an approximately circular horizontal cross-sectional configuration. A moving bed (9), in which a fluidized medium settles and diffuses, is formed in the central portion of the furnace, and a fluidized bed (10), in which the fluidized medium is actively fluidized, is formed in the peripheral portion in the furnace. The fluidized medium is turned over to the upper part of the moving bed (9) from the upper part of the fluidized bed (10), thus circulating through the two beds. Combustible matter (11) is cast into the upper part of the moving bed (9) and gasified to form a combustible gas while circulating, together with the fluidized medium. The amount of oxygen supplied to the fluidized-bed furnace (2) is set so as to be the same contained in an amount of air not higher than 30% of the theoretical amount of combustion air. The temperature of the fluidized bed (10) is maintained at 450 °C to 650 °C so that the combustible gas produced contains a large amount of combustible component. The combustible gas and fine particles produced in the fluidized-bed furnace (2) are supplied to a melt combustion furnace where they are burned at high temperature, and the resulting ash is melted.

Abstract: A printing process has the colour quality measured at a point and when the measured signal (M) falls outside of a defined tolerance band a corrective action is made. When a corrective change is applied the measured signal is used by a computer system and this indictes that the process is exponential. The dynamic characteristics (K) can be predicted and this allows the final steady state value to be accurately predicted and this provides a new stable condition. This can be compared to the reference value and an early indication made of whether it will be out of tolerance.

Abstract: In a method for the activation of communications terminal equipment upon network-management-specific events, predetermined events occurring in a network management system (e.g. an error message) are acquired in network management routines and are signaled to a network management central station. In this station, a call number information of a public or private telephone network is allocated to each event by means of which information the communications terminal equipment of the responsible party or the party to the call is determined for the respective event. After the signaling of a predetermined event, the allocated call number information is determined, and by means of a dialing apparatus a connection to the communications terminal equipment designated by the determined call number information is set up via the communications network.

Abstract: A variety of methods and apparatus for managing deactivation and deletion of objects and server processes are taught. According to some embodiments of the present invention, a thread of execution termed the reaper thread systematically cycles through a computer process deactivating and/or deleting objects based upon a variety of criteria. One suitable criterion for object deactivation is based upon the amount of time lapsed since a client has requested services of the object. According to the timeout criterion, the reaper thread determines the period of time since the last client requested services from the object, compares this to a timeout value which may be defined by any suitable entity, and proceeds with deactivation and/or deletion accordingly. Object deletion may have a separate criterion or be specifically requested by a client. A deletion flag may be set to indicate that object deletion is requested. When an object has deactivated, the reaper thread further determines if the deletion flag for this object is set, and, if so, further proceeds to perform an object deletion operation. In some embodiments, the reaper thread is further responsible to shutdown the server process under which the reaper thread is executing. As is well known to those skilled in the art of object oriented programming, a thread of execution is essentially a sequential flow of the point of execution through a computer process. One suitable criterion for server process shutdown would be related to the server process activity.
