Abstract: A system of controlling combustion of fuel in a boiler having an adjustable air-to-fuel ratio. A first sensor is used to measure the CO production to provide a CO distribution range during a period of time for the combustion A second sensor measures the NOx production to provide a NOx distribution range during this period of time for the combustion. A controller adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio to cause combustion of the fuel within the CO distribution range and the NOx distribution range to thereby cause the actual emission for the CO and NOx distributions to average less than the maximum permitted. Preferred time ranges are from 15 to 30 minutes, and the air-to-fuel ratio is selected to produce actual emissions averaging 95% of said maximum.

Abstract: A U-shaped floating hull (11) carries three or more mechanically-driven lifting legs (12) capable of resting on the sea bed. A shuttle (30) is moved along the legs by the hull. It is applied to the lower face of the bridge to support it. The shuttle has a system capable of locking it to the legs.  A rack and pinion drive moves each shuttle component along the leg. Each of the three shuttle components (31) associated with a lifting leg, has guides with lateral stabilizers for positioning and supporting the bridge. Each shuttle has a vertical positioning section on the hull. Guidance and locking are provided. A horizontal section supports the bridge. Guides are formed by opposite edges, forming a housing with the vertical section, for a plate of the corresponding lifting leg. The locking system comprises actuated counter-rack sections, which lock into teeth of the rack on the leg. The stabilizers are hydraulic- or pneumatic brakes with horizontal displacement. The horizontal sections on the shuttle have resilient components on which the bridge is rested. A system of horizontal slide rails is included for the bridge. These allow it to be moved from a position of support on the shuttle systems, to a remote position away from them. A door (43, 44) in the hull can be opened for positioning and closed during bridge transport. An Independent claim is included for the dismounting and transport of the bridge.

Abstract: A technique for decreasing VLAN lookup times in hardware-based packet switches by emulating the functionality of a content addressable memory (CAM) with software and random access memories (RAM). The decrease in lookup time is achieved by using content from the data packet to index directly into a table that stores forwarding information. Since the forwarding information is addressed directly by content from the packet, the need to spend time and resources sorting through the table of forwarding information with a key search is eliminated.

Abstract: Apparatus for non-invasively determining the time onset (T onset ) and end (T end ) of patient inspiratory efforts. A composite pressure signal is generated comprising the sum of an airway pressure signal, a gas flow pressure signal obtained by applying a gain factor (K f ) to a signal representing gas flow rate and a gas volume pressure signal obtained by applying a gain factor (K v ) to a signal representing volume of gas flow. K f  and K v  values are adjusted to result in a desired linear trajectory of composite pressure signal baseline in the latter part of the exhalation phase. The current composite pressure signal is compared with (i) selected earlier composite pressure signal values and/or (ii) value expected at current time based on extrapolation of composite pressure signal trajectory at specified earlier times and/or (iii) the current rate of change in the composite pressure signal with a selected earlier rates of change. The differences obtained by the comparison are compared with selected threshold values. T onset  is identified when at least one of the differences exceeds the threshold values.

Abstract: A simple yet effective method of increasing production of a thermo-stable virus, such as adenovirus and picornavirus, is presented. The method entails a temperature shift strategy whereby the culture of host cells are shifted to a sub-optimal temperature for a period of time prior to virus infection or cells are grown at a sub-optimal level for the entire cell expansion process including one or more than one passages of cell growth from cryopreserved cells, followed by a shift back to a more optimal temperature at or near the time of virus infection of the respective host cells. Adaptation of such a temperature shift strategy present a simple yet effective method to substantially increase recoverable virus within a respective host cell/virus production scheme without the need to further manipulate other culture and/or media conditions within an established host cell/virus production scheme.
