IPC: A61K35/74
Filed: 1997-02-25
Abstract: A therapeutical vaccine complex having activity specific for Helicobacter bacteria as well as non-specific immunomodulation activity for regulating the natural defenses of the body. The drug is also useful for preventing relapses, particularly in cases of resistance to conventional treatment. The drug essentially consists of RNA, selective membrane fractions of microbial germs, particular amino acid sequences, sodium chloride and a steroidal anti-inflammatory in predetermined proportions enabling simultaneous delivery of antibiotics and frenosecretories. Said drug is particularly suitable for treating digestive tract diseases caused by Helicobacter (antral gastritis, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, oesophagitis, hepatitis) and preventing stomach cancer and degenerative infectious MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma, as well as coronary diseases directly or indirectly dependent on Helicobacter infections.

Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: A teat cup assembly for evenly distributing its weight to the udder of dairy animal despite variations and changes in teat angularity and elevation.  The teat cup assembly has four teat cups, two on each side.  The two teat cups on each side communicate to a side manifold; preferably a rounded and separately enclosed manifold having an outlet and two inlets, one for each teat cup.  The two inlets are canted fore and rear for leading teat cup milk receiving lines to the bottom of the teat cups.  The two enclosed manifolds have two degrees of motion with respect to one another.  In a first degree of motion, the enclosed manifolds hinge towards and away from one another preferably at a hinge extending between the bottom rear of the manifold.  This first degree of motion is restricted in opening by a keeper to enable convenient handling of the teat cup assembly as a unit. In a second degree of motion, the two manifolds relatively rotate with respect to one another.  Both the first and second degree of movement combine to provide even weight distribution through the teats to the bag of a dairy animal to enable minimal strain on the animal during milking.

Title: Operational process and its improved control system of a secondary air burner
Inventor: TESAR MICHAEL G
IPC: F23G7/06
Filed: 1997-12-10
Abstract: Control system and method for monitoring and controlling the stoichiometry of a secondary air burner in a thermal oxidizer. The burner control system secures a certain stoichiometry independent of possible simultaneous changes of the gas mixture flow rate and/or of the combustible impurity concentration in the process gas. The firing rate of the burner is adjusted by a controller. Additionally, the flow of the burner fuel and of the process gas mixture are measured and transformed into separate signals. Both signals are sent to an evaluation apparatus that compares the signals and generates a third signal based upon that comparison. This third signal is in communication with a device that changes the gas mixture flow resistance, and thus the desired amount of gas mixture will be diverted for the combustion of the fuel.

Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: The device for the control of the beam alignment in satellite laser communications systems has a digital signal processor (24), which has been inserted between an input interface (21) and an output interface (23), and to which a program memory (25) and a data memory (26) are separately connected, in which parameters are also stored, and which comprises sensors (171, 172, 173) and actuators (174, 175, 176) for aligning the laser beam with the counter station. The signal processor (24) contains an intermediate memory (240) for floating point and fixed point operations and further calculating units (241, 242, 243), as well as two access generators (244, 245). Highly flexible and very efficient control systems can be implemented by the employment of such a digital signal processor. By means of an adaptive control it is still possible to operate beam alignment systems at full performance levels, even after components have been degraded. The adjustment outlay for the optical components is drastically reduced because of auto-calibration.
