Patent EP-1601751-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KARAS LAWRENCE J
IPC: C10G53/14
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: This invention is a method of purifying fuel streams containing organonitrogen and organosulfur impurities. The fuel stream is first treated to extract organonitrogen impurities so that the nitrogen content of the fuel stream is reduced by at least 50 percent. After separation and recovery of the nitrogen-depleted fuel stream, the organosulfur impurities in the fuel stream are then oxidized with an organic hydroperoxide in the presence of a titanium-containing silicon oxide catalyst. The resulting sulfones may be more readily removed from the fuel stream than the non-oxidized organosulfur impurities.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a latent image carrier, a
charging member, a conductive brush member that cleans the charging
member, a developer carrier including magnetic field generating
devices having main and auxiliary magnetic poles, a developer
scatter preventing member, and a toner accumulation preventing
member. A contact pressure of an end portion of the developer
scatter preventing member relative to the latent image carrier is
set such that a brush, which falls from the conductive brush member
and is carried on the latent image carrier, passes through a
contact part between the end portion of the developer scatter preventing
member and the latent image carrier. The main magnetic
pole has an angular width of about 60 degrees or less between opposite
pole transition points respectively positioned upstream and
downstream of a flux density of the main magnetic pole in the normal
direction in a developer conveying direction.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a method for generating a
functional hybrid bioprosthesis. Tissue formed naturally
of interstitial collagens is treated to kill native cells
and remove potentially immunologically active soluble
molecules. Then it may be treated sequentially with
extracellular matrix adhesion factor, extracellular
matrix glycosaminoglycan, and growth factor appropriate
to the cell type required to function within the matrix,
and incubating the transplant tissue matrix with cells
that are either allogeneic or autologous for the
recipient thereby imparting to the matrix the
characteristics of the cell type and tissue selected.
Tissues with a variety of functional bioactivities can
thus be formed in vitro prior to graft transplantation or
implantation which will exhibit reduced or no stimulation
of an immunological response in the recipient.

IPC: B65H20/22

Abstract: In a web cutter where a blade is used to cut a continuous paper web into sheets, a
tractor is used to move the web past the blade for cutting. The tractor operates in a start-and-stop
cycle so that the web is temporarily stopped to allow the blade to lower and shear the
web. The tractor accelerates in the next cycle to move another length of paper downstream
from the blade. A high-speed cutter requires high acceleration of the tractor. This
acceleration force causes the web to whip up uncontrollably, causing the web to break or
wrinkle. To reduce the web breakage, a moving mechanism positioned upstream from the
tractor and operate a second motion cycle is used to move the web toward the tractor such
that a loop of paper is formed upstream of the tractor, thereby reducing the whipping action of
the web.

Abstract: An electronic control apparatus has a main IC and at least one auxiliary IC,
with at least the auxiliary IC driving one or more MOS
FETs to control supplying of power to respective
electrical loads, e.g., in a vehicle. A stepped-up
voltage, higher than the circuit power source voltage, is
generated within the main IC and supplied to each
auxiliary IC, for driving gate electrodes of the MOS FETs.
Electrical noise produced by operation of a voltage step-up
circuit in the main IC is effectively suppressed by
elements that are coupled only to a power source terminal
of the main IC alone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that provide multichannel imaging and that
allow using diffraction-limited optics. The imaging apparatus includes a laser
beam source to generate single-mode laser beam of energy, a multichannel
spatial light modulator (SLM) accepting a plurality of modulating signals, and a
beam multiplier between the radiation source and the SLM. The beam
multiplier accepts the beam generated by the source and generates from that
beam a plurality of beams directed onto the SLM. The beams from the beam
multiplier illuminate the active region of the SLM such that the SLM generates
a plurality of modulated beams modulated according to the modulating signals.
The apparatus further includes an optical subsystem located between the SLM
and an imaging plane that includes at least one optical element to focus the
modulated beams onto an imaging plane. A recording medium sensitive to
imaging radiation from the source is placed at the imaging plane. The
recording medium is capable of being permanently marked in response to
incidence of such imaging radiation. The beams generated by the SLM are
each substantially a single-mode beam such that the first optical subsystem
may be designed using diffraction-limited optics.

IPC: C07C255/19

Abstract: A process for the preparation of five-membered or six-membered ring lactams from
aliphatic α,ω-dinitriles has been developed. In the process an aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile is
first converted to an ammonium salt of an ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid in aqueous solution
using a catalyst having an aliphatic nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.7) activity, or a combination of
nitrile hydratase (EC 4.2.1.84) and amidase (EC 3.5.1.4) activities. The ammonium salt of
the ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid is then converted directly to the corresponding lactam by
hydrogenation in aqueous solution, without isolation of the intermediate
ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid or ω-aminocarboxylic acid. When the aliphatic α,ω-dinitrile is
also unsymmetrically substituted at the α-carbon atom, the nitrilase produces the
ω-nitrilecarboxylic acid ammonium salt resulting from hydrolysis of the ω-nitrile group
with greater than 98% regioselectivity, thereby producing only one of the two possible
lactam products during the subsequent hydrogenation. A heat-treatment process to select
for desirable regioselective nitrilase or nitrile hydratase activities while destroying
undesirable activities is also provided.

Abstract: An optical module has a lever (4) for bending a spring plate possessed by
a cage (10) for accommodating a case (1) of the optical module in a direction in which a
retaining hole (11a) formed through the spring plate (11) comes off a latch (4) formed on the
case. The lever has a shaft (4b) pivotably supported on the case, a tongue (4a) disposed
on one side of the shaft, and an actuator (4c) disposed on the opposite side of the
shaft with respect to the tongue. The lever pivotally moves about the shaft in
response to a movement of the tongue toward the case, causing the actuator to
press the spring plate to bend in the foregoing direction. According to this optical
module, the user can readily release retention of the latch by the retaining hole
only by moving the tongue of the lever toward the case. Further, the user can
withdraw the optical module from the cage through a simple manipulation of
pulling the case out while the user is holding the case and the tongue of the lever
together.

Abstract: In order to precisely control rotation of a motor, it is necessary to precisely detect a position of a rotor. Even if an inexpensive position detecting sensor having relatively low precision such as a Hall sensor is used, it is possible to provide a motor drive control apparatus capable of precisely detecting the position of the rotor by calculating an electrical angle of the rotor (rotor position) by calculating a back-EMF from a detected voltage, detected motor current, a motor winding resistance value and an inductance value, and by periodically correcting a calculation error of the calculated electrical angle. If such a motor drive control apparatus is used, it is possible to provide an inexpensive electric power steering apparatus having excellent steering feeling.
