Inventor: SKAAR ODD
IPC: C25C3/06
Filed: 1988-12-22
Abstract: Method for the setting of electrodes in electrolysis cells, especially setting of carbonazious anodes (3) in cells (1) for producing aluminium according to the Hall-Heroult pro­cess, where the cathode of the cells contains a bath (13) consisting of aluminium oxide dissolved in melted cryolite, and where the aluminium metal is deposited on the bottom of the cathode. The method is characterized in that each anode in connection with their production (assembly) is provided with reference marks (16 and/or 17), for instance by provid­ing the anode rod with a paint mark, which defines a prede­termined distance from the bottom side of the anode to the cathode. That the anodes thereafter are positioned or set according to a rule (18) having reference points (19) each defining the expected anode consumption pr. unit of time, whereby the reference mark (16 or 17) on said anode rod should correspond to a reference point (19) on the rule (18) which is in accordance with the expected setting height, and that the rule (18) for each anode is fixed for instance to the anode bars (7) of the cells in a predetermined and equal distance from the metal plane (15). By means of this setting method a more even current absorption is achieved and the carbon consumption is reduced.

Abstract: Système et procédé de positionnement de la tête de lecture/écriture sur un support d'enregistrement, où un circuit de commande, telle une unité à microprocesseur utilisée pour positionner la tête, est déchargée de la tâche tout en augmentant la vitesse et la précision du positionnement de la tête, de manière à augmenter la vitesse de fonctionnement de la tête et/ou la densité d'enregistrement du support d'enregistrement à l'aide d'un circuit de commande peu coûteux. Le système de commande possède un organe générateur d'impulsions de traversée de piste (54, 55, 282, 283) qui produit soit un nombre impair soit un nombre pair d'impulsions de traversée de piste (PODD ou PEVEN) en fonction des données de position indiquant que la tête traverse les pistes du support d'enregistrement. Le circuit de commande (22) (a) configure l'organe générateur d'impulsions de traversée de piste, avant le commencement de la commande de la vitesse, de sorte que l'organe générateur d'impulsions de traversée de piste produit un nombre impair d'impulsions de traversée de piste lorsque le nombre de pistes désirées est pair et un nombre pair d'impulsions de traversée de piste lorsque le nombre de pistes désirées est impair, et commande ensuite la vitesse du dispositif de déplacement de la tête de sorte que cette dernière se positionne sur la piste désirée, (b) modifie le reste du mouvement sur la piste (DIFF), lorsque la première impulsion de traversée de piste est entrée, en fonction de la différence entre la position de la tête avant le commencement de la commande de la vitesse et la position désirée, et (c) réduit de deux pistes le reste du mouvement chaque fois qu'une impulsion de traversée de piste est reçue. Par conséquent, le générateur d'impulsions de traversée de piste envoie toutes les deux pistes au circuit de commande un nombre impair ou un nombre pair d'impulsions de traversée de piste indiquant la piste désirée.

Abstract: Le canal de référence, le canal de bande étroite et le canal de réaction d'erreur sont tous construits avec des composants analogiques, tandis que le processeur adaptatif est construit avec des composants numériques. Des retards analogiques inévitables dans les canaux de bande étroite et de réaction d'erreur sont compensés dans le processeur adaptatif numérique. L'enrichisseur de ligne adaptatif ci-décrit utilise un signal d'oscillateur local qui est mélangé avec le signal d'entrée dans un canal de référence, et est ensuite converti en un signal numérique. Un signal de référence numérisé est envoyé à un filtre adaptatif sous la forme d'un signal d'entrée. Des valeurs de pondération réglables du filtre adaptatif sont réglées par un signal numérisé de réaction. Le signal de sortie est dérivé de la soustraction d'un signal analogique de bande étroite qui est dérivé du filtre adaptatif. Le signal de réaction d'erreur est séparé du signal de sortie, mélangé avec le signal d'oscillateur local et envoyé à des mécanismes de mise à jour de pondération.

Inventor: MILLER HARVEY I
IPC: C12R1/91
Filed: 1988-06-23
Abstract: A balanced constitutive inducible transcriptional control system is provided to facilitate the secretion of polypeptides incompatible with recombinant host cells. Use of this system has, for the first time, made it possible to obtain mature, unglycosylated human tissue plasminogen activator from prokaryotes which is water soluble and fully enzymatically active. In accordance with this invention, t-PA is produced by recombinant bacterial host cell culture in commercially significant amounts without in vitro renaturation and processing. This system is optimally used with a microbial-mammalian cell secretion shuttle vector in a novel process for screening preprotein gene variants. Also provided is a novel t-PA variant DNA having a silent mutation in the 5' end of the coding sequence which results in elevated levels of microbial secretion.

Abstract: In an implantable catheter device for experimental microsurgery, a tubular and straight sleeve (10) has at one end area a cavity (13), which is closed off at the end face of the sleeve (10) by an upper wall (14) which can be punctured by a needle. The other end area of the sleeve (10) forms an attachment part (30) in which a clamping space (21) is formed for receiving an elastomeric clamping piece (11), which surrounds a catheter (12). The section of the attachment part (30) projecting beyond the clamping piece (11) is provided with an internal thread (31) into which an externally threaded shaft (32) of a pressure piece (20) can be screwed. The end face of the externally threaded shaft (32) of the pressure piece (20) presses axially against the clamping piece (12) in order to press it by radial deformation sealingly against the catheter (12) which, in this area, sits on a rigid support cannula (22) whose lumen communicates with the cavity (13) and which projects into the pressure piece (20). 
<??>The catheter device can be made with very small dimensions, so that it can be implanted without problems in extremely small test animal species. Virtually no infections, clot formations or catheter repulsions occur during the investigation period.

Abstract: A magnetically responsive reed switch assembly having one or two cantilevered reed members (13, 14) arranged to close and open a gap (21) responsive to respective levels of magnetic exposure, supports two optical fiber members (17, 19) in end-to-end closely spaced confrontation with the common axis alignment or misalignment of the fibers being a function of the relative closed or opened gap condition. A convenient method of fabrication involves mounting opposing cantilevered reed members on a substrate which is bent to bring the reed members closer together longitudinally. While so bent, a gap closing magnetic field is generated and a continuous length of optical fiber is bonded to the flat aligned surfaces of the reed assembly. The fiber is scored, broken at scoring, and stress and magnetic field is relieved, whereupon fiber ends shift laterally to produce open circuit condition.
