Abstract: An electrically heated vessel 1 includes a planar heating element which is pulled down into engagement with abutment means 4 in the vessel by a structure 14 fixed to the bottom of the vessel. The structure fixed to the bottom of the vessel may be a thermally sensitive control device and/or a cordless component, such as a 360{ connector component accessible by a complementary connector component through an opening in the bottom of the vessel 5. The abutment means may be integral with the vessel, or may be non-integral and placed into the bottom of the vessel prior to introduction of the heating vessel (see fig 3). Sealing means 11 may be provided between the periphery of the heating element and the internal wall of the vessel, which may be in the form of a ring of elastomeric material extending around the periphery of the heating element, having one or more circumferential fins 13 engaging the internal wall of the vessel 2. The vessel may be dimensioned so as to permit the heating element to be assembled into the vessel through an opening in its top. Alternatively the vessel may comprise two parts, ie an open bottomed part with an opening through which the heating element is assembled, and a top part secured to the bottom part. Such electrically powered vessels may be used as kettles, hot water jugs, pots, pans, urns, and laboratory equipment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the
treatment of slag resulting from the refining of stainless
steel, which comprises adjusting slag in a molten state
formed at a step of refining stainless steel such that the
slag has a basicity in the range of 1.3 - 4.0, and mixing
the slag with a sulfur-containing material wherein the
sulfur is zero or minus in valence, thereby setting the
concentration of sulfur in the slag to be not less than
0.2% by weight. According to the invention, the slag is
so modified that Cr 6+  is substantially completely prevented
from being eluted and can be effectively utilized as a
roadbed material and a reclamation material for civil
works. In particular, in this method, the slag is
quenched at such a speed of cooling that the temperature
of the slag is decreased from 1200°C to 400°C within 48
hours so that noticeable effects are attained.

Abstract: Blocks of audio are encoded based upon corresponding first and second frequencies. The first and second frequencies are hopped from block to block. An audio quality measure (AQM) is computed for each block of audio such that, if x out of y blocks of audio have an AQM greater than a first predetermined threshold, encoding is suspended. For example, x may be nine and y may be 16. Also, if a ratio of the energy in a front part of a block of audio to the energy in a rear part of the block of audio is greater than a second predetermined threshold, that block of audio is not encoded even though x out of y blocks of audio have an AQM greater than the first predetermined threshold. Multiple distributors of the audio may encode the audio with their corresponding identities using the above processes.

Abstract: Amplification primer pairs comprising an oligonucleotide anchor and primer. The anchor has a nucleic acid chemistry which is not a substrate for reverse transcriptases and DNA polymerases, and a 3'-end which is not capable of priming DNA synthesis. The primer has a nucleic acid chemistry that is a substrate for reverse transcriptases and DNA polymerases. The anchor and the primer each include regions of nucleotide complementarity which are capable of associating with each other to form a stem structure. The stem structure includes a nucleotide sequence which is complementary to a universal primer. One primer pair (reverse pair) is used for first strand synthesis, while the second primer pair (forward pair) is used for second strand synthesis. The universal primers sustain the amplification reaction and produce the majority of the final product.

Abstract: A phase interpolation receiver for receiving angle modulated radio frequency signals. The receiver comprises mixers for down-converting the received angle modulated signal to lower frequency signals, limiters, interpolation filters, and a demodulator. The mixers down-convert the received RF signal to a low IF intermediate frequency signal. The low IF intermediate frequency signal is limited. After further down-conversion to zero IF, using quadrature mixers, the limited signal is phase interpolated. The intermediate frequency is chosen such that the limited signal comprises an unwanted signal at twice the intermediate frequency that acts as a noise spreading signal for spectrally spreading of quantization noise generated by the limiters, and the cut-off frequency of the interpolation filters is chosen such that the unwanted signal and the spread quantization noise are suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disinfectant/sterilizing composition which includes hinokitiol as the active ingredient. The composition has enhanced solubility of the hinokitiol in water without the need for alcohol as a solubilizing enhancing ingredient due to the presence of aloe vera extract, green tea extract, low striped bamboo extract and dokudami extract. In addition, the solubility of the hinokitiol in water is further enhanced by the additional inclusion of glycerin fatty acid ester surfactant and cara saponine emulsifier. In addition to enhancing the solubility of the hinokitiol in water, the above-noted plant extracts also serve to enhance the biocidal effect of hinokitiol and avoid the objectionable strong odor usually associated with hinokitiol compositions.
