Abstract: A light source emits ultra-violet light into a reaction medium. The novelty is that the UV radiator is held between two flanges incorporating flow vanes and surrounded by two large diameter concentric pipes; the two pipes form a ring slot through which the reaction medium flows and sealed at the end by the flanges. Also claimed is that the inner tube surrounding the UV-source is made from a special quartz glass which allows the passage of shorter wavelength light emissions. Both the UV-emitter and the inner face of the outer pipe incorporate UV-light reflecting surfaces.

Abstract: In a switched-mode power supply a coil is periodically connected across an input voltage by means of a switching element. The switching element is turned off when the voltage across a sensing resistor in series with the switching element exceeds a given threshold. The threshold is reached sooner when the input voltage increases. This effect is compensated by an inductive element in series with the sensing resistor, through which inductive element the same current flows as through the sensing resistor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fire-extinguishing system (1) comprising at least one means (2) for the projection of fire-extinguishing agent (3), which means can be directed towards a fire using an adjustment drive linked to control means (9). To achieve non-contact telemetering of the distances to measurement points (12) within a monitored area (11) and the respective temperatures thereof, the fire-extinguishing system (1) has telemetering means (10) which is linked to control means (9) for automatic alignment of the projecting means (2) with a measurement point (12) detected to be the scene of the fire. To detect the scene of the fire, in the control means (9) there is a comparison of at least the temperature readings with at least one reference value typical of fires. Should a fire be detected, the control means (9) determines at least one theoretical value for setting the projecting means (2) and adjusts the projecting means (2) thereto. Said device allows the fully automatic positioning of the projecting means (2), which consequently makes it easier for fire-fighters to carry out their duties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for controlling the change of intrinsic viscosity and transesterification during solid stating of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) blend, with an effective amount of an alkylene glycol compound. The process enables the production of a copolymer based on predefined initial and final IV's and final transesterification level, by varying the solid-stating time and/or effective amount of alkylene glycol. In one embodiment, a relatively greater amount of post-consumer PET (e.g., 70%) having an IV of on the order of 0.72-0.73, is incorporated in the blend to provide a final IV on the order of 0.80-0.85, and a moderate, controlled level of transesterification; the blend is used to injection mold a sleeve layer of a preform. In another embodiment, a substantially transparent neck finish for a preform is made from a PEN/PET blend having an amount of alkylene glycol which enables substantial transesterification, without excessive increase in IV.

Abstract: A process reliably detects the change of the locking state of at least one lock with a logic with memory and display attached to a key. The process includes determining a rotation of the key associated with the lock within the lock, detecting a single or multiple rotation in unlocking or locking direction of the lock and simultaneously determining whether the detected rotation occurs in unlocking or locking direction of the lock. A signal is generated that indicates the unlocking or locking of the lock. This signal is stored in the memory of the logic, and the signal is displayed. A device for implementing the process includes one or several markers mounted near the lock, one or several sensors non-rotatably connected with the key for detecting these markers, a logic attachable to the key with a memory in which data can be stored whereby the logic can process the signals received from the sensors, and a display for displaying the locking state.

Abstract: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease which kills more than three million people every year. Although both a vaccine and various methods of diagnosis and treatment are available, the efficacy of these measures is in urgent need of improvement given that the number of new cases is once again on the increase. Research focuses, among other things, on the characterization of antigens secreted in the early stages of the infection as they constitute the first point of contact of the immune system with the pathogen. The 40 KD-antigen described herein is present in vivo as a hexamer and, despite its high molecular weight and lack of a signal sequence, is present extracellularly after only a few days of growth. Functionally, it is an L-alanine dehydrogenase and reacts with the monoclonal antibody HBT-10 directed against this protein. HBT-10 was the first known antibody specific to a protein of M. tuberculosis which did not cross-react with the vaccine strain M. bovis BCG.
