Title: Alkali-stable hydrophilic sorbents for ion-exchange chromatography
Inventor: BRITSCH LOTHAR
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: Ion exchangers of significantly improved quality can be obtained when base material of diol group content greater than 1 mM/g (dry weight) is used, and graft polymerization is carried out so that the degree of grafting attained is 0.5 to 2 mM/g of base material. Alkali stable hydrophilic sorbents for ion exchange chromatography are obtained through the following steps: (1) preparation of a base material (diol group content greater than 1 mM/g), e.g. crosslinked vinyl polymer from diol group containing vinyl monomers and crosslinked monomers, with polymerizable groups bonded via carbonamide group containing chains; (2) addition of the base material to an aqueous solution of the monomer to be grafted, where the monomer contains an ionic group or a precursor group for an ionic group; (3) grafting of the monomer onto the base material, where the graft polymerization is started with cerium(IV). The process parameters i.e. suspension density (base material concentration),monomer concentration, starter concentration, pH value, temperature, and addition of polymerization inhibitors are selected so that a degree of grafting of 0.5 to 2 mM/g of carrier (dry material) is attained; and (4) the precursor groups for the ionic groups in step (2) are converted to ionic groups. An independent claim is also included for the preparation of a sorbent.

Title: Improvement to methods and devices for measuring the activity of a radioisotope
Inventor: LEMER PIERRE-MARIE
IPC: G01T1/167
Filed: 2002-12-05
Abstract: A method of measuring the activity of a radioisotope ( 3 ) placed in an ionisation chamber ( 1 ) consists in:-determining the energy spectrum of the radiation emitted by the radioisotope;-automatically comparing the energy spectrum with a set of pre-recorded or pre-programmed radioisotope energy spectra in such a way as to identify the radioisotope present;-subsequently, automatically directing the calibration coefficient corresponding to the radioisotope present to the electronic measuring elements in order to obtain the appropriate activity measurement. The invention provides a totally automatic activity measurement. Moreover, the invention also relates to an activity meter with radioisotope recognition which is used to obtain an automatic activity measurement. The device employs one or more scintillation-or semi-conductor-type radiation detectors ( 10 ) for determining the energy spectrum of the radioisotope present.

Abstract: An audio processing apparatus is constructed for generating an auxiliary audio signal based on an original audio signal and mixing the auxiliary audio signal to the original audio signal. In the apparatus, a control section (6) designates a pitch of the auxiliary audio signal. A processing section (3a,3b,7a,7b) processes the original audio signal under control of the control section (6) to generate the auxiliary audio signal having the designated pitch, and applies a first effect to the generated auxiliary audio signal. An effector section (2) applies a second effect different from the first effect to the original audio signal. An output section (10) outputs the original audio signal applied with the second effect concurrently with the auxiliary audio signal applied with the first effect. The control section (6) may control the processing section (3a,3b,7a,7b) to alter the first effect dependently on a difference between a pitch of the original audio signal and the designated pitch of the auxiliary audio signal.

Abstract: A shared vehicle distribution instruction apparatus instructs the movement of
shared vehicles between ports appropriately. 
     When instructions are issued to personnel 8 to move a shared vehicle 2 so that bias
does not occur in the number of parked shared vehicles 2 between a plurality of ports, first
a vehicle administration apparatus 1a, in order to ascertain accurately an excess or lack
status of shared vehicles 2 for each port, estimates the number of shared vehicles 2 parked
at each port after a predetermined time, and performs evaluation value calculation
processing for assigning a ranking for shared vehicle 2 movement to every port. Next the
vehicle administration apparatus 1a determines from which port to which port a shared
vehicle 2 should actually be moved by an evaluation value based on the estimated vehicle
number, and outputs vehicle movement instructions to an administration server 1 to move
the shared vehicle 2 between a movement source and a movement target port. Then, a
personnel administration server 1b communicates the shared vehicle 2 movement
instruction received from the vehicle administration apparatus 1a to a portable terminal 9

crystal display (30) and a driving method thereof. The method includes
receiving an M-bit image data from an image data input terminal (41) and
extracting N most significant bits (MSB) of the M-bit image data to form
an N-bit image data. The N-bit image data is delayed by one frame period

current M-bit image data, P≥N. The result of said comparison is used
to determine whether to generate a first data voltage according to a
first image value (52,72,92) selected from a reference table (50,70,90),

Abstract: A feedwater heater for a steam generator or heat recovery boiler or waste heat boiler through which hot gases pass includes two sections which are located side by side so that the temperature of the hot gases at the upstream face of each section is essentially the same. The feedwater flows through a heat exchanger before entering the first section, and here it is heated by water flowing from the upstream face of the first section to the downstream face of the second section. The arrangement is such that all tubes in the two sections remain above the dew point of the hot gases, so that water does not condense on the tubes and unite with oxides of sulfur to form sulfuric acid which will corrode the tubes, yet substantial temperature differentials exist between the water in the sections and hot gases as the gases pass through the sections.
