Abstract: A procedure is described for obtaining valuable endoproteases (or zonases) from hatchery-produced Atlantic salmon eggs. Synchronized hatching by for instance elevated temperature, is followed by filtration through cheese cloth. The filtrate (hatching fluid) may be stored for months or year (depending on conditions) without loss of activity. Extraneous matters are removed by centrifugation (16,000 g, 2x15 min) after addition of urea (2 or 4 M, or more). High purity zonases are obtained by simple chromatographic procedures (gel filtration, affinity chromatography, isoelectric focusing), yielding sequence-grade purity after all three steps are performed in sequence. All preparations of salmon zonases exhibit valuable enzymatic properties with regard to proteolysis, both in terms of catalysis and stability.

Title: Multiple dome single-panel explosion vent
Inventor: LEONARD BRENT W
IPC: E04B1/98
Filed: 1998-12-28
Granted: 2006-02-15
Abstract: An explosion vent (10) for covering an opening (12) in an enclosure (14) subject to the build-up of pressure is disclosed. The explosion vent includes a peripheral flange (16) configured for attachment to the enclosure around the opening, a pressure relief panel (18) positioned within and hingedly connected to the flange, and a plurality of connectors or rupture tab assemblies (19) connecting the unhinged portion of the pressure relief panel to the flange. The connectors break when the enclosure is subjected to pressure build-up for permitting the panel to shift outwardly from the enclosure for uncovering the opening in the enclosure. Rivets (72) are provided for attaching the rupture tab assemblies (19) to the pressure relief panel (18) which function to provide additional panel support and minimize localized bending of the rupture tabs (21) forming a part of assemblies (19) when the explosion vent is subjected to vacuum conditions, but do not interfere with rupture of the tabs and opening of the panel at a relatively low burst pressure. The pressure relief panel has a plurality of domed sections (46,48,50,52) presenting at least one valley defining bridge (54,56,58) therebetween. The domed sections and bridges cooperate to stiffen the panel so that it more uniformly distributes force on the connectors, causing all of the connectors to break at approximately the same time so that the panel more consistently opens at a selected burst pressure level.

Abstract: The present invention provides ink-jet writing engine modules for use with a compatible hard copy engine module, a hard copy apparatus based thereon, and methods of manufacturing, operation, and use. Fluidic and electronic partitioning for ink-jet hard copy apparatus is redefined. Modular separation of a hard copy engine from a writing engine allows a replaceable writing module containing all of the key elements of the ink-jet writing system based on writing system technology requirements, particularly for those most likely to age or fail as a result of time, frequency of use, or end-user actions. The writing engine subsystem includes: one or more printing modules having print head elements with concomitant ink manifold components and ink flow and pressure regulation mechanisms; one or more ink containers - either permanent, refillable, or replaceable; one or more ink formulations; one or more ink delivery means, such as tubes and valves fluidically coupling the ink containers to the ink manifolds; service station components; and a framework to retain the elements in a unitary module, insertable cassette-like manner. The present invention further provides a hard copy engine compatible with such a writing engine. The hard copy engine does not contain any components requiring direct contact with ink. Ink-wetted components are predisposed to ink-jet technological changes without affecting the electrical interface and the mechanical interface between the writing engine and the hard copy engine.

Abstract: An improved shaft seal assembly is disclosed having a stator including a main body and axial and radial projections therefrom. The rotor is radially extended and encompasses the axial and radial projections from said stator. The passageway formed between the radial projection of the stator and the rotor results in an axial passageway having its opening facing rearwardly from the rotor and away from the source of impinging coolant and/or contaminant. The dimension of interface gap between the rotor and the radial projection from the stator, which the access to the shaft of any impinging material, is fixed at a predetermined value and does not vary with the relative movement between the rotor and the stator. The novel seal assembly of this invention thus provides improved rejection or warding off of contaminates from ingress into the labyrinths and ultimately restrained from attacking the bearing environment.

Abstract: Prior art methods calibrate the travel path and/or the angular position of holding devices in equipment for manufacturing electrical assemblies by optical measurements of the position of simulations of electrical components that are equipped on a calibration substrate. Markings on the simulations and local reference marks on the calibration substrate serve this purpose. Printed circuit board cameras that are utilized as optical sensors exhibit a pronounced camera distortion that makes the calibration more difficult. As a result of the method, the apparatus as well as the calibration substrate, a sensor correction factor is determined in that the position of two correction marks that are applied on the calibration substrate at a predetermined nominal spacing and a predetermined position relative to one another are measured with the printed circuit board camera. The result of the measurement is compared to the nominal spacing.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating an encrypted data stream representing an audio and/or video signal comprises an encoder for encoding an input signal to generate a data stream with a predefined data stream syntax as output signal. The apparatus further comprises an encryption means coupled with the decoder in order to influence encoder internal data and/or the output signal of the encoder in a uniquely reversible manner based on a key such that the generated encrypted data stream comprises payload information differing from payload information of a data stream that would be generated by the apparatus without the presence of an encryption means and that the generated encrypted data stream comprises the predefined data stream syntax. Thereby, a flexible data stream encryption is achieved, wherein the degree of encryption can be freely selected such that the owner of a decoder who does not possess the key, still obtains a rough idea of the audio and/or video signal which might cause him to buy the key in order to hear or view the audio and/or video signal in its full quality. The encoder-specific encryption and decryption concept can be implemented into already existing encoders/decoders with little effort.

Title: System for rapid development of dental x-ray films inside the film container with recovery of the spent processing fluid
Inventor: GARLASCO RENZO
IPC: G03C/
Filed: 1995-01-25
Granted: 1998-02-11
Abstract: The regulations on the disposal of processing (developing and fixing) fluids require the collection of spent fluids to ensure correct environmental management. The fast processing of dental X-ray films is carried out inside the film container and therefore does not require a dark room and/or developing machines, since the processing fluid is injected into the said container which is light- tight. After the specified period, the fluid is recovered from the film container and sent to a special system for collecting the spent solutions, which enables these to be sent for disposal without further handling. The object of the invention is the system for measured feeding and recovery of the processing fluid, which makes it possible to handle the chemical product and the film with automatic recovery of the spent fluid. <IMAGE>
