Title: Brewing unit for a coffee machine
Inventor: LUESSI ANDRE
IPC: A47J31/24
Filed: 1992-07-28
Granted: 1996-05-15
Abstract: A brewing unit has a brewing cylinder (1) with a cylindrical bore (2) and two plungers (3, 4). The brewing cylinder (1) and the plungers (3, 4) are arranged so as to be displaceable relative to one another. In a brewing position, the brewing cylinder (1) and the two plungers (3, 4) located inside the latter form a brewing chamber (5) in order to brew ground coffee located therein by adding pressurised water. The latter is fed to the brewing chamber (5) via a connection nipple (18) and via a through-bore which extends through the wall of the brewing cylinder (1) into a circular gap (14) formed between a sealing ring (11) and the end face (13) of the second plunger (4) facing the brewing chamber (5). The coffee is delivered via a filter (32), a pipe (34) and a further connection nipple (35). Due to the arrangement of the gap (14), the end side (13) of the second plunger (4) can be constructed without a filter. The feeding of pressurised water to the gap (14) causes a self-cleaning effect therein. Due to the construction of the end face (13) of the second plunger (4) without a filter, not only can a part subject to wear be eliminated, but a more cost-effective production of the brewing unit can also be implemented. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à la transformation par génie génétique de plantes supérieures, en vue de leur conférer une résistance au froid, notamment à une plante supérieure qui contient dans les lipides de ses membranes davantage d'acides gras que ce qui est inhérent à l'espèce, ainsi qu'à un procédé de production d'une telle plante. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, on décrit une plante transgénique exprimant un polypeptide ayant une activité de glycérol 3-phosphate acyltransférase, qui possède une sélectivité de substrats plus grande pour le complexe oléoyle-(protéine porteuse acyle) (oléoyle-PPA) que pour le complexe palmitoyle-(protéine porteuse acyle) (palmitoyle-PPA). Dans un autre aspect de la présente invention, on décrit des plantes supérieures se caractérisant par une température critique plus basse en ce qui concerne les lésions dues au froid, ainsi qu'un procédé de production d'une telle plante. Dans un autre mode de réalisation préféré, on décrit une plante transgénique dont le phosphatidylgycérol contient une quantité réduite d'espèces moléculaires saturées en raison de l'expression d'un polypeptide ayant une activité de glycérol 3-phosphate acyltransférase qui possède une sélectivité de substrats plus grande pour le complexe oléoyle-PPA que pour le complexe palmytoyle-PPA.

Abstract: La détermination de la position du mécanisme de rembobinage et de débobinage de la bande se fait au moyen de commutateurs de position dont les signaux de sortie sont couplés au moyen d'un réseau ohmique. Les différences entre les valeurs de tension correspondant aux différentes positions sont petites, ce qui rend l'analyse peu fiable. La tâche consiste à garantir une fiabilité plus élevée, sans avoir besoin de résistances étroitement tolérancées ou d'une tension hautement stable sur le réseau. En mode étalonnage, la valeur de tension associée à une position individuelle est mesurée à la sortie du réseau, puis entrée dans une mémoire, et utilisée lors du fonctionnement normal comme valeur de consigne. Convient en particulier à des enregistreurs à cassettes pour enregistrement vidéo ou audio analogique ou numérique.

Abstract: We have made retrovirus particles displaying a functional antibody fragment. We fused the gene encoding an antibody fragment directed against a hapten with that encoding the viral envelope protein (Pr80env) of the ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus. The fusion gene was co-expressed in ecotropic retroviral packaging cells with a retroviral plasmid carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo), and retroviral particles with specific hapten biding activities were recovered. Furthermore the hapten-binding particles were able to transfer the neo gene and the antibody-envelope fusion gene to mouse fibroblasts. In principle, the display of antibody fragments on the surface of recombinant retroviral particles could be used to target virus to cells for gene delivery, or to retain the virus in target tissues, or for the construction of libraries of viral display packages.

Date Jun. 9, 1994A radio telephone system is disclosed to satisfy in the short term basic telecommunication needs of areas which are insufficiently or not yet covered. The system has a number of duplex radio channels (transmission channels) substantially smaller than the number of radio telephone subscribers. These transmission channels are connected to the ports of a telecommunications exchange system which is part of the stationary radio station and which ensures both incoming and outgoing traffic with the public telecommunications network and internal exchanges within the system. Signalling, exchange, management, servicing, and special functions of radio operation between the stationary radio station and the subscriber connection device are ensured by a radio switching device which uses one, or if required, several transmission channels used as organization channels and not connected to the ports of the telecommunications exchange system. In the organization channel, a constant time-multiplexed communication is maintained with the subscriber connection device according to a random access process based on a special organization channel protocol. An essential characteristic of the invention is that the subscriber connection devices have an a/b interface for the connection of telecommunication terminals. The system and in particular the organization channel protocol are designed in such a way that no differences from a wired telecommunications connection are perceptible to the user, although the system is radio operated.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for shaping the distal femur of a patient to receive a unicondylar prosthetic component includes a cutting guide body that carries a pair of cylindrically shaped openings in the guide body, each of the openings having a central longitudinal axis and the respective axes of the openings forming an acute angle. An annular bushing is removably received in a selected one of the cylindrical openings during a cutting of the distal femur. A bone cutting reamer registers with a central cylindrical opening in the bushing. The bone cutting reamer has an annular shoulder that abuts the top of the bushing to define the depth of cut. During use, the surgeon positions the cutting guide body over a diseased condyle of the patient's distal femur. The surgeon then sequentially places the bushing and its associated bone cutting reamer into one of the selected openings of the cutting guide body. After placing the bone cutting reamer in the second opening of the guide body, the surgeon has formed two overlapping circular cuts which form an elongated oval shaped and three-dimensionally convex surface for receiving the unicondylar prosthesis.
