Patent EP-0846071-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHAEFER INGOLF
IPC: B62D1/22
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: A method for the exact setting down or taking up of cargo from aircraft is disclosed. When setting down persons or cargo from aircraft which has not landed, the problem arises of an exact setting down not being possible, or only with great difficulty, in particular under adverse weather conditions. The invention provides a method whereby exact and even "spot-on" setting down or taking up of a load is made possible, even if the ambient conditions do not allow the aircraft to be kept steady. With the spatial framework of ropes biased by the aircraft, the position of the load in space is clearly fixed. The load can thus be exactly lowered down to the ground or taken up from the ground, without it being necessary for the aircraft to be still. Here, the aircraft itself is located at an appropriately selected distance above the load. The invention can also be applied to transportation by airships to construction sites, to catastrophe regions, etc.

Abstract: Réflectron (100) destiné à être utilisé dans un spectromètre de masse qui focalise des ions possédant des énergies différentes. Ce réflectron contient un embout (106) relié électriquement à une première tension (V0). Une surface conductrice (102, 104) est isolée électriquement de l'embout et est reliée à une deuxième tension. Cette surface conductrice coopère avec l'embout conducteur pour former une région interne (108) dans laquelle existe un champ électrique non linéaire. Il en résulte que des ions possédant des énergies différentes entrent dans la région interne et en sortent par une ouverture commune (110) et, lorsqu'ils se trouvent à l'intérieur de cette région interne, ils sont réfléchis sans traverser la surface conductrice.

Abstract: A process for producing substantially radio-impurity-free Bi-212 is disclosed. An acidic feed solution containing Pb-212 is contacted with an extraction medium to bind the Pb-212 thereto. The extraction medium is rinsed with a second acid solution to remove impurities therefrom, leaving a substantially impurity-free Pb-212-laden extraction medium. The Pb-212 grows on the extraction medium to form Bi-212 by radioactive decay. The Bi-212 is then eluted from the extraction medium with an acid solution to form a substantially radio-impurity-free Bi-212 acid solution. An apparatus for carrying out this process and a process for the therapeutic use thereof are also disclosed.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des vecteurs d'ARN faits d'alphavirus d'ARN contenant une séquence d'ARN étranger codant pour une substance biologiquement active. Les vecteurs de la présente invention produisent une forte expression du génome du rétrovirus de recombinaison directement dans le cytoplasme cellulaire des cellules eukaryotes. Lorsqu'il est co-exprimé avec les protéines structurelles du rétrovirus, le génome de recombinaison peut efficacement s'intégrer à des rétrovirus de recombinaison infectieux, également dit vecteurs de rétrovirus, qui peuvent transduire l'ARN étranger dans les cellules réceptrices. Ce système d'expression cytoplasmique facilite, ce qui est d'une très grande importance, la production efficace de vecteurs contenant l'ARN étranger et comportant des gènes combinés à des introns ou d'autres éléments contrôlant l'expression génique. De tels vecteurs ont été impossibles ou très difficiles à produire dans les systèmes classiques d'expression nucléaire en raison de l'épissage de l'ARN.

Abstract: An automatic dynamic range control circuit is provided with a fixed-gain first
circuit means and a variable-gain second circuit means having substantially the same
propagation delay as the first circuit means. The automatic dynamic range control circuit
holds the peak value of an input signal, selects the first circuit means when this peak value is
smaller than a reference signal level, and selects the second circuit means when the peak
value exceeds this reference signal level. When the held peak value is smaller than the
reference signal level, the second circuit means is operated at the same gain relative to an
input signal as the first circuit means by having its gain set by the reference signal. When
the held peak value exceeds the reference signal, the gain of the second circuit means is
limited by this held peak value and its output level is kept at or below a prescribed level.
As a result, when an excessively high input signal level is fed, the first circuit means can be
switched to the second circuit means without giving rise to discontinuity in the waveform of
the output signal on either the time axis or the amplitude axis.

Abstract: An outside up-down elevator, designed to be smoothly
and safely raised without an initial downward movement when
the outside up-down elevator is restarted in an ascending
direction after it is temporarily stopped during an operation,
is disclosed. In the outside up-down elevator, a
seat frame (500) is moved upward or downward under the
guide of two ropes (400)(401), thereby allowing a worker to
work safely and stably without having any intervention
between the ropes and the worker. The outside up-down
elevator also has a constant speed control means, thus
stably and safely descending at a constant speed. Two side
walls (520)(530), respectively enclosing first and second
control units (100)(200), are hinged to both side edges of
the seat frame and so the outside up-down elevator can be
fully folded suitable for being transported by a user. It
is also possible to manually adjust horizontality of the
seat frame using two adjusting gears (180)(280a) without
disassembling the outside up-down elevator.

Filed: 1998-07-02
Abstract: Access time to data recorded on a tape in a tape cartridge is improved in a multi-tape
cartridge and a drive for the multi-tape cartridge wherein a number of tapes having
data recorded thereon are wound around hubs in the cartridge, and the tapes are
separated as they traverse an opening in the cartridge. The drive system has multiple
data transfer heads which are insertable into the opening in the cartridge and
respectively engage the tapes in the cartridge. Data can be simultaneously transferred
between the tapes and the heads. In comparison to a single tape having a given
length, the multiple tapes in the cartridge can be shortened in length by a factor equal
to the number of tapes, and the access to data recorded on the tapes is
correspondingly faster by the same factor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for cutting holes (5) in a
corrugated tube (3) with annular or helical corrugations made
of thermoplastic material, with cutters (14, 15, 16) attached
to cutter shafts (4) mounted in rotatable fashion around axes
running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the
corrugated tube (3), where each cutter can take up an exact,
predetermined position for cutting into the corrugated tube,
depending on the rotation of its cutter shaft, and with at
least one leadscrew (4'), whose thread (11) engages the
corrugations of the tube in gear-like fashion, thus enabling
the corrugated tube (3) to be transported at a predetermined
speed. The invention also relates to a process for cutting
holes in corrugated tubes. A disadvantage of the known devices
and processes for this purpose is the need to exchange and
resharpen the cutters. For the device according to the
invention, it is proposed that each cutter shaft (4) be
provided with at least two consecutive cutters (14, 15, 16),
separated from each other in the direction of transport (A)
and aligned such that, during operation, the time interval
between reaching the cutting position of the first cutter (15)
in the direction of transport and reaching the subsequent
cutting position of the second cutter (16) in the direction of
transport essentially corresponds to the time interval in
which the corrugated tube (3) is transported by the distance
between the cutters projected on the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: In an exhaust gas purification device, a catalytic
converter containing selective reduction catalysts is
disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal
combustion engine capable of being operated at a lean
air-fuel ratio. The catalytic converter includes a
plurality of the selective reduction catalysts disposed
in series in the casing of the catalytic converter.
Bypass passages which supply the exhaust gas flowing into
the catalytic converter to downstream selective reduction
catalysts in the casing by bypassing the upstream
catalysts are provided. When a reducing agent is
supplied to the exhaust gas upstream of the converter, a
part of the supplied reducing agent directly reaches the
downstream selective reduction catalyst without being
oxidized by the upstream selective reduction catalysts
through the bypass passages. Therefore, the NO x 
purifying abilities of the downstream catalysts are
improved and the formation of sulfates on the downstream
catalysts is suppressed.

Abstract: In a discharge lamp sealing apparatus 30, luminescent
substances are charged into an arc tube 11 through an opening 13b
thereof, and an electrode member 15 is then inserted into the arc
tube 11 through the opening 13b. A lower end of the arc tube 11 is
supported by a support jig 57 in a state that a glass ring 16c is
placed around the circumference of the opening 13b. The arc tube
11 is set in an air-tight condition by a feeding conduit 51 and
inserted into a heating unit 40. The heating unit 40 fuses the
glass ring 16c with heat of an infrared lamp and thereby seals the
opening 13b. During the sealing process, one end of the arc tube
11 is supported by the support jig 57. The support jig 57 is
mainly made of a material having a greater thermal conductivity
than that of the material of the arc tube 11, for example, a metal
material like Al or Cu. This arrangement enables heat to be
readily conducted from the arc tube 11 to the support jig 57 and
accordingly prevents a temperature rise in the arc tube 11. This
prevents the luminescent substances from being vaporized and
released from the arc tube 11.
