Abstract: Under normal running, the gripper clip (20) is opened by the movement of the end of the lever (21) over the cam (24), the timing being altered by adjusting the position of the cam in the direction (B) by means of a drive (28, 29). During slow running of the loom, the lever (21) is moved by displacing the cam (24) at right angles in the direction (C) by means of a drive (30). Opening of the clip (20) is then under the control of a sensor for the position of the gripper (3) acting on the drive (30). An independent claim is also included for an arrangement for opening the gripper clip (20), including electrical drives (26, 30) and sensors to indicate the position of the grippers. During slow running of the loom the cam (24) is moved towards the lever (21) to open the clip (20) at a predetermined position of the gripper. Preferred Features: Separate electric motors and cranks (28, 29, 32, 33) are provided for the two motions in the directions (B) and (C).

Abstract: A system and method for achieving enhanced CSMA/CA which improves channel availability and quality of service (QoS) in a wireless communications network. The system and method establish channels to enable communication between nodes in a communication network, based on the relationship between the average time length of message data packets and the time lengths of the request to send and clear to send messages. A node of the communication network places a data packet at a location in a queue for retransmission based on a type of information contained in the data packet if the destination node for which the data packet is intended is unable to receive the data packet. The location in the queue is indicative of a duration of time that the node will delay before attempting to resend the data packet to the destination node.

Abstract: The invention relates to the process for the isolation of biologically active granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), which enables the separation of correctly folded biologically active monomeric molecules of G-CSF from the incorrectly folded, biologically inactive monomeric, oligo- or polymeric and also from aggregated molecules of G-CSF by using immobilised metal affinity chromatography. The process of the invention, if desired the whole process, can be advantageously performed under native conditions. The biologically active G-CSF with a purity of greater than 95% is thus obtained. Only two additional chromatographic steps, cationic exchange chromatography and gel filtration, are then preferably applied to remove the traces of impurities. The entire process results in the production of higher yields of G-CSF with a purity of greater than 99%. The described process is particularly suitable for the industrial production of G-CSF.

Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about -40 DEG C and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about -100 DEG C. Each of these two types of refrigerant systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.
