Abstract: A single-pipe cylinder type reformer produces a hydrogen-rich reformed gas by performing steam reforming for a reformation material gas such as town gas. A circular inner cylinder (3 or 68) is concentrically located inside an upright circular outer cylinder (1 or 10) forming the jacket of the reformer at a distance in the radial direction. Circular intermediate cylinders (2 or 60) are concentrically located between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder at distances in the radial direction, respectively. A circular radiation cylinder (4 or 14) is concentrically located inside the inner cylinder at a distance in the radial direction. A burner (8 or 18) fixed to one end portion of the reformer in the axial direction to be located in the center of the radiation cylinder in the radial direction and a steam generator (34) are disposed inside the outer cylinder. A plurality of annular paths communicating with each other are formed in laminar shapes between the inner cylinder, the intermediate cylinders, and the outer cylinder to form a reforming catalyst layer (5 or 13), CO converter catalyst layer (11) and/or CO selective oxidizing catalyst layer (12), and a cooling fluid path (48) for feeding a reformation material gas and reforming water, and air path (42). According to this reformer, buckling of each constituent member is prevented to prevent a decrease in operation performance, and a heat radiation loss is reduced, thus realizing a compact reformer with high start-up speed and high operation efficiency. Furthermore, since this reformer can produce a hydrogen-rich reformed gas having low CO concentration, the reformer is best suited for use in combination with a polymer electrolyte fuel cell.

Abstract: A method and system enables communications between a switched telephone network and a wireless network comprising a plurality of Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs). Each MSC is connected by respective interfaces to a broadband packet network used for the transfer of bearer traffic between the MSCs, and controls wireless communications with a respective plurality of wireless transceivers. The switched telephone network and the wireless network are interconnected by at least one media gateway for conveying bearer traffic between the switched telephone network and the broadband packet network. The system comprises a location register and a call manager. The location register is adapted to store, in respect of each wireless transceiver, information identifying a respective current MSC controlling communications with the wireless transceiver. The call manager is adapted to: query the location register to obtain the information identifying the current MSC respecting the selected wireless transceiver; and enable a communications path across the broadband packet network between an inbound media gateway and the current MSC. The advantages include simplified routing, congestion reduction and reduced cost of infrastructure to support a rapidly expanding wireless subscriber base.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to improve the yields of viral vectors when grown in cell culture systems. In particular, it has been demonstrated that for adenovirus, the use of low-medium perfusion rates in an attached cell culture system provides for improved yields. In other embodiments, the inventors have shown that there is improved Ad-p53 production with cells grown in serum-free conditions, and in particular in serum-free suspension culture. Also important to the increase of yields is the use of detergent lysis. Combination of these aspects of the invention permits purification of virus by a single chromatography step that results in purified virus of the same quality as preparations from double CsC1 banding using an ultracentrifuge.

Abstract: A carrier for heart valves allows the removal of a heart valve from the carrier without manual manipulation. In addition, the carrier minimizes or substantially eliminates leaking of preserving fluid during transportation and storage. The carrier includes a jar, a rinse cage, and a holder to which a heart valve is attachable. The rinse cage includes a first engagement structure, for example, a channel, and the holder includes a second engagement structure, for example, a groove, complementary to the first engagement structure for releasably engaging therewith. A heart valve attached to the holder is disposed or suspended within the rinse cage when the engagement structures are engaged. A heart valve attached to the holder is protected not only when within the jar but also when removed from the jar. The holder has a socket for engaging with a surgical handle used to remove the valve from the jar for rinsing and implantation. The carrier may include apparatus for limiting rotation of the holder relative to the rinse cage and rotation of the rinse cage relative to the jar, which apparatus allows a surgical handle to be securely and firmly attached to the holder with essentially one hand and without removing the valve from the jar. The jar includes a lid that may have a rotatable gasketand a flange. The jar may have an apex-like top surface for making a compressive seal against the gasket when the lid is tightened. The flange may have a vent for allowing gases between the gasket and the lid to escape during sterilization processes of the carrier.
