Abstract: In the cryogenic distillation of air, an incoming airstream (C) is condensed by heat exchange with an outgoing stream of liq. O and/or N (A), which is thereby vaporised in heat exchanger (60). The pressures of the two streams are constrained by the proportions of less volatile O and more volatile N therein, and to enable these pressures to be set at desirable levels additional O is added to the stream (C) upstream of the heat exchanger and/or to stream (A) downstream of the heat exchanger. Appts. for performing the process includes a mixing column (62) wherein the air stream (C) or vaporised gas stream (A) is contacted with an O-rich liq. stream (F).

Abstract: The stabiliser includes hydroplanes (2a, 2b) which project on horizontal, or downward inclined axes from bearings mounted in the submerged bow bulb. To control pitching only, a controller, reacting to sensor signals, applies common angles of incidence via a hydraulic or electrical actuator. The surfaces are e.g mounted on the same transverse shaft. The equipment may additionally counteract rolling, with independently operated control surfaces given opposing angles of incidence. The bulb compartment (3) can be divided centrally, with hydroplane assemblies swivelling on vertical axes (ZZ') independently retractable in fair weather or for berthing (2b). On striking a submerged obstacle, an assembly, latched (13a, 14a, 15a) when extended, is freed (13b, 14b, 15b) and retracts (12b). Single or paired auxiliary trailing edge surfaces (6) optimise water flow and thrust.

Abstract: A reflective/diffractive light valve system collects light from multiple dimensions around a single light source. From these multiple collection dimensions, the light is directed to impinge on the valve from multiple directions. When the valve is configured to be reflective, the light returns to the source. On the other hand, when the valve is configured to be diffractive, light from a first and third order diffraction are transmitted from the valve for each of the collection dimensions which greatly enhances the efficiency of the system.

Abstract: On a fractionné des extraits bruts d'arachide de type Florunner par chromatographie par échange d'anions à gradient discontinu. On a procédé à l'analyse supplémentaire d'une crête de protéine qui a été éluée à 10 % de NaCl et a montré une forte capacité de liaison à l'immunoglobuline E (IgE) en effectuant une électrophorèse sur gel SDS ou une analyse des immunotransferts. La plus grande partie de cette fraction est une protéine qui possède un poids moléculaire égal à 17kD et un point isoélectrique (pI) de 5,2. Les données de séquencement de l'extrémité N-terminale ont révélé les 9 acides aminés initiaux suivants: (*)-Q-Q-(*)-E-L-Q-D-L. En raison de son activité de liaison à l'IgE et d'aucune homologie de séquence d'acides aminés connue avec d'autres allergènes, on a désigné cet allergène par le terme Ara h II. Ara h II peut servir à détecter et à quantifier des allergènes de l'arachide dans des produits alimentaires. On a utilisé l'immunoglobuline E du sérum provenant de patients présentant des réactions d'hypersensibilité recensées aux arachides ainsi qu'une bibliothèque d'expression d'ADNc de l'arachide dans le but d'identifier des clones codant les allergènes de l'arachide. On a sélectionné un des allergènes les plus importants de l'arachide, Ara h I, à partir de ces clones en utilisant des oligonucléotides spécifiques de l'Ara h I ainsi que des procédés d'amplification enzymatique du type PCR.

Abstract: The present invention relates to techniques for enlarging an opening, which accommodates a subject, in a superconducting magnet apparatus for use in MRI system, so as to prevent the subject from feeling claustrophobic, and for realizing low magnetic field leakage therefrom, and for reducing the weight thereof, and for realizing a large high magnetic field strength uniform magnetic field region. 
     Static magnetic field generating sources of the superconducting magnet apparatus are constituted by two sets of superconducting coils, the respective sets of which are placed in such a manner as to face each other across a uniform magnetic field generating region. Each of the sets of superconducting coils consists of a main coil for feeding electric current in a specific direction, a bucking coil for feeding electric current in a direction opposite to the direction of the electric current flow passing through the main coil, and a coil for correcting magnetic homogeneity. The diameter of the aforementioned main coil is set as being nearly equal to that of the aforesaid bucking coil. Further, the diameter of the coil for correcting the magnetic homogeneity is set as being less than that of the main coil. Moreover, an amount of electric current flowing through the coil for correcting the magnetic homogeneity is set as being less than that of electric current passing through the main coil. Furthermore, the distance between the two main coils facing each other is set as being shorter than that between the two bucking coils.
