Abstract: Lactoferrin tablets containing as the active ingredients lactoferrin and lactulose and having a horizontal hardness of at least 4 kg and a vertical hardness of at least 3 kg; and lactoferrin tablets containing as the active ingredients a microbial cell powder of at least one microorganism selected from among lactic acid bacteria, lactoferrin and lactulose and having a horizontal hardness of at least 4 kg and a vertical hardness of at least 3 kg. These tablets can be produced by using the conventional tableting apparatuses and yet have high hardnesses. Thus they do not adhere to the inner wall of the oral cavity and have a favorable taste. Since no excessive tableting pressure is needed in the production process, moreover, these tablets can contain much viable cells of lactic acid bacteria, though they are in the form of rigid tablets.

Abstract: A method is provided for identifying viral positive biological fluid donations in the fewest number of test cycles. The method comprises providing biological fluid donations and defining an n-dimensional matrix comprising a multiplicity of elements, each element being identified by a matrix notation comprising an index for each dimension of the array. Samples are taken from each fluid donation and mapped to a matrix element with each sample identified by its corresponding element's notation; n aliquots being taken from each sample and subpools formed from the aliquots with each subpool containing an aliquot from all samples mapped to elements in which one of the dimensional indices is fixed. Subpools are tested for viral indication and the dimensional index of each subpool that returns a positive viral indication is determined. The dimensional indices are combined to identify a subset of matrix elements that contain a viral positive sample.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe clamp (10), comprising two pivotally interconnected semi-clamps (12, 14) on the inner surface of which a rubber-elastic insert (22) is applied and provided with C-shaped sidewalls (24) laterally encompassing said semi-clamps (12, 14) which also comprise clamping flanges (26, 28) protruding outwards on an opening (16) of the pipe clamp (10) which can be clamped together by means of a clamping screw (30). In order to simplify closing of the pipe clamp (10), the invention provides for threaded sheet metal (42) to be placed on one of the two clamping flanges (28). The clamping screw (30) is screwed into said metal sheet which is pivotally arranged on the second of the two semi-clamps (14) and which has folded prolongations (46) that are located on the outside of the C-shaped sidewalls (24) of the rubber-elastic insert (22). The C-shaped sidewalls (24) form elastic elements which press the clamping screw (30) into an externally open slot (32) of one of the clamping flanges (26) when the pipe clamp (10) is closed.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé relatif au système GPRS (service de radiocommunication générale par paquets) fournissant des connexions à commutation par paquets via un réseau de communication, notamment un RMTP (réseau mobile terrestre public). Ces connexions correspondent à différents niveaux de qualités de service (QoS) parmi les utilisateurs finaux. Selon ce procédé, un protocole de commande de liaison logique (CLL) est un protocole orienté paquet et une CLL est établie lorsqu'une station mobile active un contexte PDP avec une qualité de service (QoS) pour laquelle cette station mobile (MS) n'a pas encore de CLL établie. Pour éviter la gestion séparée de plusieurs liaisons logiques pour une même station mobile ainsi que l'affectation de nouvelles identités de liaisons dans un noeud support GPRS de départ (SGSN) et lors du changement de SGSN, la présente invention suggère que le procédé comprenne l'utilisation d'une commande de liaison logique disposant d'un ensemble indépendant de variables d'états de liaison par qualité de service, de manière à autoriser une gestion indépendante de différentes qualités de services dans cette liaison.

Abstract: The present invention is a removable vehicle seat assembly for use with a motor vehicle having an interior floor structure with at least a portion thereof covered by a yieldingly deformable material. A latch and release assembly is operatively associated with a riser support structure. The latch and release assembly is configured to be engaged with front and rear anchor members of the interior floor structure and releasably locked in one of a range of releasably locked positions. The latch and release assembly is constructed to be engaged with the front and rear anchor members and releasably locked in an initial one of the range of releasably locked positions. The removable vehicle seat assembly is moved downwardly towards the interior floor structure in response to an application of a downwardly directed force thereto when the latch and release assembly is releasably locked in the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions such that the yieldingly deformable material is yieldingly compressed to a decreased thickness. The latch and release assembly moves progressively from the initial one of the range of releasably locked positions to a subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions corresponding to the decreased thickness of the yieldingly deformable material during downward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly. The latch and release assembly is engaged with the front and rear anchor members and releasably locked in the subsequent one of the range of releasably locked positions to thereby prevent upward movement of the removable vehicle seat assembly away from the interior floor structure and to maintain the yieldingly deformable material at the aforesaid decreased thickness.

Abstract: The interior of the container (6) being filled is temporarily pre-tensioned before the filling stage with a pressurized inert gas, such as carbon dioxide. During the filling stage, the gas displaced from the container as a result of the liquid poured in, is contained under pressure in a return gas collector chamber (23). After filling, the container is returned to atmospheric pressure via a release duct. The housing (7) of the filler element (3) contains a fluid duct (11) which opens into a filler pipe (10) protruding beyond the underside of the filler element. A valve (13) inside the duct opens when the container's aperture (5) is placed tightly against the filler element. A gas duct (14) with opening (15) joins the container's interior. Three separately controlled valves (16,17,18) control the gas-ducts in the housing. Two return valves (25,28) are positioned in two gas ducts. An Independent claim is included for a filler element.

Abstract: A media storage device includes an embedded filter for manipulating universal clock based streams of data as they are written to or read from the media storage device. The media storage device will also manipulate streams of data which are not being written to or read from the media storage device. Preferably the embedded filter within the media storage device is an isochronous data pipe which will receive programmed instructions from an external controller and manipulate streams of data according to the programmed instructions in real time, coordinated with the universal clock. Alternatively, the isochronous data pipe includes fixed firmware for performing the appropriate manipulations. The media storage device is also preferably coupled to an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure. As streams of data are received by the media storage device during a write operation, those streams of data can be manipulated into a different format by the embedded filter before they are stored on the media within the media storage device. As streams of data are being transmitted from the media storage device during a read operation, those streams of data can be manipulated into a different format by the embedded filter before they are transmitted onto the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure. In both instances, the universal clock can be used to synchronize the data streams. The media storage device will also utilize the embedded filter to manipulate streams of data being transmitted between two other devices on the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus structure.
