Abstract: The conjugates consist of a cytokine, for example interferon alpha, and human immunoglobulin, if required linked via an organic bridge and are used in pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of viral infections and tumours. Compared with the free cytokine, the conjugates have a longer residence time in the plasma and tissue and thus improve the therapeutic effect.

Abstract: The hardening vat (10) is filled with cold water and has cheese loading means (14, 16, 18) at one end and withdrawal means (22, 24, 26) at the opposite end. A horizontal pipe (32) extends longitudin­ally above the vat, and carries depending, downward tubes (40, 42, 43) which are provided with valves (44, 45, 46) and terminate in oblique nozzles at their ends. Driving means (50, 52, 54) are adapted to swing the horizontal pipe, together with the depending nozzles, across the width of the vat. The valves are controlled to generate intermittent water jets from the nozzles in a desired sequence. Each of the tubes has peripheral holes (68) above the water level, and a cone (70) is welded to the inside wall of each tube above the holes to form an ejector mixing air into the water jet to oxigenate the water in the vat.

IPC: F04D27/02
Filed: 1989-02-22
Abstract: In the case of known methods of the type stated a continuous surge limit control and a safety control, intervening in an emergency, are operated in parallel. When the safety control responds, this results either in complete opening of the venting valve which cannot be maintained, resulting in a fall in pressure in the downstream process, or the rate of opening of the venting valve is limited by the actuating device of the venting valve, which leads to slower reaction in the case of a malfunction. The new method is intended to rectify this drawback. 
<??>The new method is characterised in that, when the safety control responds, the pressure medium for actuating the venting valve is led off directly, avoiding the position regulator, and that when the safety control returns leading-off of the pressure medium ceases and the control is again taken over solely by the surge limit controller and the downstream position regulator. The new method means that, in the event of rapid opening, the venting valve is adjusted at its technically maximum possible rate of adjustment, independent of the position regulator, and only as far as necessary in the opening direction in order to catch any disturbance occurring. Delayed or excessive or prolonged venting with its detrimental consequences is thereby avoided. 
<??>The new method is suitable for turbocompressors in various spheres of application, in particular for large compressors.

Abstract: A distance measuring method and apparatus in which first and second pseudo random signals which are the same in pattern but slightly different in period are generated to obtain a correlation output of the first and second pseudo random signals before transmission thereof as a reference correlation output, and the first pseudo random signal is directly transmitted toward a target or alternatively a carrier wave is modulated by the first pseudo random signal and transmitted toward the target. A correlation output of the signal reflect­ed and received from the target and the second pseudo random signal is detected and the distance to the target is measured from the time interval between the reference correlation output and the received correlation output. Alternatively, the modulated carrier wave reflected and received from the target and the second pseudo random signal are subjected to correlation processing to detect a correlative modulated carrier wave and the correlative modulated carrier wave is subjected to orthogonal detection by a reference carrier wave thereby obtaining a target detection output. Then, the distance to the target is measured from the time interval between the reference correlation output and the target detection output.

Title: Joining two database relations on a common field in a parallel relational database field
Inventor: DIAS DANIEL MANUEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1990-10-04
Abstract: A technique for performing joins in parallel on a multiple processor database system effectively deals with data skew. The join operation is performed in three stages with an optional fourth stage. The first stage is a preparatory stage, the detail of which depends on the underlying join algorithm used. This preparatory stage provides pre-processing the results of which are used in the following stage as the basis for defining subtasks for the final join operation. The data provided in the first stage is used in the second stage to both define subtasks and to optimally allocate these subtasks to different processors in such a manner that the processors are close to equally loaded in the final join operation, even in the presence of data skew. This second stage is an assignment stage the details of which depend on the underlying join algorithm. Once the second stage has completed its processing of the subtasks, the subtasks are shipped to their assigned processors for processing and the final join of the two relations in the third stage. The method used in the final join operation depends on the underlying join algorithm used. Optionally, during the actual join as performed in the third stage, there could be a dynamic re-assignment of the subtasks should the join operation become unbalanced.

Abstract: A PWM solenoid operated valve control (42) arrangement which substantially eliminates supply voltage (70) dependent variability of the valve (30-40) without the expense or inefficiency of a conventional voltage regulator. The coil of the solenoid valve is pulse-width-modulated in relation to the commanded output result and the energization periods are submodulated in relation to the magnitude of the supply voltage. The effective voltage applied to the coil, and hence the operating characteristics of the solenoid valve, are thereby made substantially independent of supply voltage variations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for predetermining maximum pressure differentials for particular microporous hollow fiber membranes and essentially immiscible feed and extractant liquids to be employed in liquid-liquid extractions include a test module having a number of such fibers formed into a loop between the opposing ends thereof. A tubular sleeve element encompasses these opposing ends, and a potting compound positionally retains the opposing ends within the tubular sleeve. The hollow fiber lumens are fluid-connected to a reservoir containing a pressurized feed liquid, and the loops of hollow fiber are immersed in an essentially unpressurized extractant liquid. The pressure of the feed liquid is continually increased until there is an incipient presence of the feed liquid in the extractant liquid. The pressure of the feed liquid at that incipient presence may therefore be used to calculate a maximum pressure differential tolerated by the microporous hollow fibers for the feed and extractant liquids used. The system which detects the incipient presence may also be associated with full scale liquid-liquid extraction modules so that malfunctions and/or module failures may be determined.
