Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for filtering or separating particles. 
     A fluid chamber (222) includes a wall extending between an inlet (228) and outlet (232) to form a fluid
chamber interior. The interior converges from a position of maximum cross-sectional area (233)
toward the inlet. A groove (290) or a step (294) are formed on an inner surface of the fluid chamber wall to
improve particle separation within the fluid chamber. 
     The fluid chamber rotates with a centrifuge rotor. A substance is supplied to the inlet of
the chamber. A saturated fluidized bed of first particles forms within the fluid chamber and
obstructs flow of second particles through the chamber. Additive substances alter sedimentation
velocity of the first particles to modify the filtration characteristics of the saturated fluidized bed.

continuous color ink jet print head (40) also includes a microvalve (52, 56)
disposed within each of the channels (61, 62, 64, 66) such that each channel (61,
62, 64, 66) is connected through the microvalve (52, 56) to a pressurized ink
source (46, 48), thereby permitting ink from the pressurized ink source (46, 48) to
flow through the channel (61, 62, 64,66) and thereafter be ejected from the nozzle
(42) when the pressurized ink source (46, 48) has attained a particular threshold
pressure. The microvalve (52, 56) itself is a thermally activated microvalve (52,
56) that permits colored patterns of dots of varying intensities to be ejected from
the nozzle (42) onto a receiver at a constant rate, thereby maintaining a static ink
printed pixel size. By selectively controlling the length of time the microvalve

Abstract: A method for identifying and repairing indications open to the surface of a
turbine component 62, such as cracks or other tight crevices that may develop during
turbine engine operation. The process includes cleaning the component of debris, dirt
or other foreign material that may otherwise mask the presence of the indications.
This is followed by applying a fluorescent penetrant 66 to the surface of the
component 62. Without removing the penetrant 66, the article 62 is visually inspected
under normal lighting conditions and repair alloy 76 is applied as needed to areas
requiring repair. Next, the article 62 is inspected under an ultraviolet light 72, at
which time very tight indications not otherwise detectable by the unaided eye are
identified as areas requiring repair and repair alloy 76 is applied to these additional
areas, by an automatic and/or manual process. Without removing the penetrant 66,
the article 62 is then heated to an elevated temperature sufficient to liquify at least a
portion of the repair alloy 76 to accomplish the repair.

Abstract: Fungal xylanases are disclosed that have been modified to increase thermostability. The
modifications are at exposed serine residues or within positions 90 to 160 (inclusive). The
starting xylanase is the endo-1,4-β-xylanase I from  Aspergillus niger.  Single amino acid
substitutions are preferred, in the B7, B8 or B9 anti-parallel strands of the β-sheet of the
xylanase. Modifications can be at any of positions 91 to 95, 98, 103, 108 or 155, or at one
or more of the serine residues 22, 27, 48, 49, 55, 59, 61, 173, 179 or 183, and the
substitution can be a replacement of the original residue by a Cys, Thr, Asn, His, Arg or
Asp residue. Complete DNA and amino acid sequences are disclosed for two of the
mutants, S93L and S59N. The mutations can increase thermostability by more than
ten-fold, and as the mutations are on the outside of the molecule, and away from the active
site, they do not adversely affect the xylanase activity and the xylanases are still active
under highly acidic conditions.
