Abstract: An apparatus for transport and controlled discharge of a load, comprising a frame with a guide (5, 6, 9) for at least one displaceable transport container (2), a drive means (1) for carrying the transport container in an endless track, a resetting device (50) for placing a transport container in a starting position and a discharge station (41, 42, 43) for selectively relieving a transport container of a load. The transport containers are provided with a movable carrying panel (21, 22) for receiving of the load thereon, comprising at least two tilt trays which extend between tilt axes (23) located on both sides. The tilt trays (21, 22) can be selectively titled between a transporting position and a downward hanging discharge position, and are provided with a locking mechanism (60-62) for locking the tilt trays in the transport position. The resetting device is adapted to co-act with a passing opened transport container to place the tilt trays thereof in the transport position, and the discharge station is able to selectively unlock the locking mechanism of a passing transport container to thus release the tilt trays. A coupling (24) is placed between the tilt trays (21, 22) to impose a tilting movement of the one tilt tray on the other tilt tray.

Abstract: A surface which carries a material which is infected with prions is cleaned with an alkaline cleaning solution to remove as much proteinaceous material as possible from the surface. The solution contains an alkaline cleaning agent which attacks prions remaining on the surface and which attacks prions removed from the surface during the cleaning step. After the cleaning step, the surface is exposed to a strong gaseous oxidant, preferably hydrogen peroxide vapor. The hydrogen peroxide or other strong oxidant attacks the prions, particularly the unclumped prion strands, deactivating the prions.

Abstract: The electric storage battery charge monitoring circuit measures the percentage of the usable charge remaining (QR (%)) by tracking the battery terminal voltage and the current drawn from the battery over a given time period.  As the charge remaining falls the battery voltage for a given current falls and a computer may calculate the value of QR. Curves may be plotted of QR against voltage divided by current (Km (V/A)) for different battery temperatures e.g. 25degreesC and 0degreesC.

Abstract: A waveguide structure formed with a three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal (740,730) is disclosed. The 3D photonic crystal comprises a periodic array of voids formed in a solid substrate (700,704). The voids are arranged to create a complete photonic bandgap. The voids may be formed using a technique called "surface transformation" or "empty space in silicon" technique, which involves forming holes in the substrate surface, and annealing the substrate to initiate migration of the substrate near the surface to form voids in the substrate. A channel capable of transmitting radiation corresponding to the complete bandgap is formed in the 3D photonic crystal, thus forming the waveguide (780). The waveguide (780) may be formed by interfacing two 3D photonic crystal regions, with at least one of the regions having a channel formed therein. The bandgap wavelength can be chosen by arranging the periodic array of voids to have a lattice constant a fraction of the bandgap wavelength.
