Title: Apparatus for controlling solid particle flow in an evaporator
Inventor: BOSTJANCIC JOSEPH J
IPC: B01D1/22
Filed: 1989-02-01
Abstract: An apparatus for use in an evaporator for selectively controlling the flow of solid particles within the evaporator. The apparatus includes a separation chamber (24) having a plurality of apertures (32), each of which has a critical size. In the separation chamber (24), solid particles which are larger than a critical size are separated from the remainder of the solution. The separated particles exit the separation chamber (24) via a bypass conduit (26) for circulation directly to the sump (14) of the evaporator for recombining with the separated liquid portion which passed through the separation chamber (24) and was subsequently concentrated in the heat exchange tubes (10). The apparatus prevents solid particles from clogging the system and allows for continuous circulation of the solution and solid particles.

Date Feb. 8, 1990.A speech synthesizer (3) produces prompts in the voice of a native speaker of a language to be learned to which the student replies or imitates. A phrase recognizer (1) employs keyword recognition to generate from the student's prompted response an original speech template spoken by the student. Thereafter, interactive dialogue takes place. The student's progress in that dialogue is monitored by measuring the deviation of the student's current speech from his original speech template. When this deviation is sufficiently large so that the recognizer (1) no longer recognizes what the student is saying, the system retrains and updates the student's speech template. In another embodiment, the system includes a display which shows the native speaker's mouth shape while the words to be imitated are spoken by the speech synthesizer (3). Also provided are a video pick-up and analyzer for analyzing the shapes of the student's mouth to give the student visual feedback.

Title: Multistep rake combining method and apparatus
Inventor: BOTTOMLEY GREGORY EDWARD
IPC: H04W16/28
Filed: 2000-05-10
Abstract: Information encoded in a spread spectrum signal transmitted in a communications medium is recovered. A composite signal including a spread spectrum signal is received from the communications medium, and correlated with a spreading sequence to generate time-offset correlations. Respective first and second groups of the correlations are combined, e.g., according to estimated channel coefficients, to produce respective first and second combined values. The first and second combined values are then combined in a manner that compensates for correlated impairment in the composite signal to generate an estimate information in the transmitted spread spectrum signal, e.g., using weighting factors generated from an estimated composite channel response and an estimated impairment correlation, or adaptively generated weighting factors. Related apparatus are also described.

Title: Application of shear flow stress to chondrocytes
Inventor: SELIKTAR DROR
IPC: C12M3/04
Filed: 1997-11-18
Abstract: Mammalian cells capable of producing cartilage are cultured under a shear flow stress of about 1 to about 100 dynes/cm2 to produce artificial cartilage for surgical transplantation to replace damaged or missing cartilage. Shear flow stressed cells display enhanced maintenance of chondrocyte phenotype and produce an extracellular matrix containing an enhanced ratio of type II collagen to type I collagen. The cells may be chondrocytes, chondrocyte stem cells or cells such as myoblasts or fibroblasts that transdifferentiate into chondrocytes. A bioreactor is used containing a growth chamber having a substrate on which the cells capable of producing cartilage are attached, and means for applying relative movement between a liquid culture medium and the substrate to provide the shear flow stress. The substrate may be a scaffold, or a nonporous surface such as the surface of a rotatable drum or disc, or the surface of a static plate that supports cell growth in a monolayer. Cartilage is produced by covering the substrate with a liquid growth medium, inoculating into the medium cells capable of producing cartilage, allowing the cells to attach to the substrate, applying and maintaining relative movement between the growth medium and the cells to provide the shear flow stress to produce shear flow stressed cells, and culturing the shear flow stressed cells to produce cartilage.
