Title: Method, apparatus and plant for the recovery of wood fibre from compressed fibreboard scrap
Inventor: SANDISON MALCOLM
IPC: D21B1/36
Filed: 1999-03-08
Granted: 2002-03-28
Abstract: The invention provides a process and apparatus for the treatment and recovery of fiberboard and particle board waste. Waste fiberboard and particle board is fed into a steam chamber and steam treated with steam under pressure from a steam generator. When the steam treatment is completed any effluent and excess steam are evacuated from the chamber and the steam treated waste is passed through a rotating trommel. Woodfibers and woodchips pass through the screens of the trommel and are collected for drying and further processing. Waste material, such as melamine coatings, passes through the trommel for collection and disposal. The collected woodfiber and woodchips can be processed for reuse in paper, cardboard or particle board manufacture or as mulch and other ground cover material.

Title: Chronic fatigue syndrome diagnosis
Inventor: SUHADOLNIK ROBERT J
IPC: C12Q1/34
Filed: 1997-09-19
Granted: 2001-03-08
Abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome is diagnosed through detection of an about 30 kDa RNase L molecule under native conditions in cellular extracts of RNase L-containing cells such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Proteins are fractionated according to molecular weight under nondenaturing conditions. The fractionated proteins are assayed for the presence of the about 30 kDa protein having 2-5A-dependent RNase L enzyme activity. The severity of the affliction may be determined by testing for the presence of RNase L molecules having approximate molecular weights of 30 and 80 kDa. The presence of the about 30 kDa RNase L, and the absence of the about 80 kDa RNase L molecule, correlates with severe chronic fatigue syndrome. The presence of both RNase L molecules indicates a less severe chronic fatigue syndrome affliction. Under denaturing conditions, and in the presence of protease inhibitors, chronic fatigue syndrome may be diagnosed through the detection of an about 37 kDa 2-5A binding protein.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP93/02758 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 5, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 5, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 8, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/09573 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 28, 1994A mixed combination strategy combiner for receivers operating in high capacity digital radio links and protected with space or angle diversity is described. The combiner comprises a system which calculates the amplitude dispersion in the spectrum of frequencies of the combined signal and a device which measures the power thereof. On the basis of this information and an appropriate calculation strategy tending to minimize the BER of the equipment, a microprocessor generates signals for gain control of the stage RF of the receivers and for phase shift control for a phase shifter for the local oscillator signal sent to one of the receivers. The calculation strategy consists of minimizing a polynomial function of the power and dispersion values. Dependence of the BER on the fnotch characterizing the dispersion is eliminated, normalizing dispersion in relation to fnotch.

Title: Clad composite stent
Inventor: MAYER DAVID W
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1993-11-23
Granted: 1996-11-28
Abstract: A body compatible stent is formed of multiple filaments arranged in at least two sets of oppositely directed helical windings interwoven with one another in a braided configuration. Each of the filaments is a composite including a central core and a case surrounding the core. In the more preferred version, the core is formed of a radiopaque and relatively ductile material, e.g. tantalum or platinum. The outer case is formed of a relatively resilient material, e.g. a cobalt/chromium based alloy. Favorable mechanical characteristics of the stent are determined by the case, while the core enables in vivo imaging of the stent. The composite filaments are formed by a drawn filled tubing process in which the core is inserted into a tubular case of a diameter substantially more than the intended final filament diameter. The composite filament is cold-worked in several steps to reduce its diameter, and annealed between successive cold working steps. After the final cold working step, the composite filament is formed into the desired shape and age hardened. Alternative composite filaments employ an intermediate barrier layer between the case and core, a biocompatible cover layer surrounding the case, and a radiopaque case surrounding a structural core.

Title: Means for inputting characters or commands into a computer
Inventor: GAY GEOFFREY NORMAN WALTER
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 1998-01-27
Granted: 2002-06-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting a hand-generated character into a computer. A user draws a character using a drawing apparatus. As the user draws, movement of the apparatus and characteristics of such movement are detected. The apparatus generates a code for the character being drawn as a time dependent sequence of signals by comparing the characteristics of the movement as the character is drawn with a predetermined set of characteristics, with each signal corresponding to the predetermined characteristic closest to the actual characteristic detected at each successive step of movement. The apparatus provides visual feedback to the user by displaying in sequence each component of a character that is being drawn positionally independently of the movement of the drawing apparatus.
