Patent EP-0846800-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HORWITZ STEVEN A
IPC: F26B21/00
Filed: 1997-10-15
Abstract: A dryer system (10) comprising a particle counter that
measures the level of particulates in the dryer is
disclosed. The dryer system is particularly adapted for
drying garments to be worn in clean room environments. The
dryer system preferably comprises an enclosure (30) having a
rotatable drum (33) for receiving and tumbling garments or other
clothing, a fan and motor assembly for providing airflow
through the drum, an exhaust duct (34) near the drum and in
communication with the drum, a sampling tube (42) in the exhaust
duct, and a particle counter (40) for measuring the
concentration of particles withdrawn through the sampling
tube from the drum. A sampling line may optionally be
incorporated in the dryer inlet for withdrawing one or more
samples of inlet air and transferring to the particle
counter. A check may then be made to ensure that the
incoming air is sufficiently clean. The present invention
also provides methods of controlling the dryer by a control
unit utilizing a signal from the particle counter
representative of the measured concentration of
particulates in the dryer exhaust.

Abstract: The method concerns rolling of wire with use of at least one finish block with two-stand reduction stages in which the wire cross section is reduced to a specified degree through horizontal and vertical passes. The final rolling speed and the degree of reduction of each stage are determined according to the rolling temperature depending on material properties and rolling speed. The method is characterised by the fact that in order to increase the final rolling speed together with (if required) an increased degree of reduction at substantially unchanged rolling temperatures, the distances between the individual reduction stages of the finish block are increased, and intermediate cooling of the rolled product is applied at least over parts of these distances. Also claimed are a corresponding installation, and an application for finish rolling of wire, in particular, made of a special steel.

Abstract: There are disclosed a continuous, quick measurement
method of BOD and an apparatus therefor. It comprises a
sample tank in which a sample is prepared suitably for the
measurement, a reactor in which microorganisms maintain
their activity, a medium reservoir which contains
nutrients for the growth of the microorganisms, pumps for
transferring liquids, and a microprocessor which controls
the operation of all means including a magnetic stirrer
for mixing the liquid in the reactor and diagnoses of the
apparatus itself. Using the apparatus, the method
comprises a continuous culture stage, an endogenous
respiration stage, a endogenous respiration rate-measuring
stage, a sample feeding stage and a BODq measuring stage.
The apparatus can detect BOD in one hour and is very low
in error rate. Further, because microorganisms can be
continuously cultured, the apparatus is semi-permanent,
easy to manage, low in cost and suitable to be operated
at treatment site.

Abstract: A method is described for setting up or releasing a connection
between a first terminal connected to a local area network and a second terminal
connected to an ATM network, both networks being intercoupled by means of a
network termination apparatus. The signalling functionality is performed within a
predetermined terminal connected to the local area network in stead of within the
network termination apparatus, which merely converts and transfers the ATM

Abstract: The projection apparatus includes a radiation system for supplying a projection beam with a smaller cross section than a mask pattern. A mask table is moved in a scan direction. The table has a holder in which the mask is fixed. A projection system images an irradiated part of the mask pattern on a substrate with a given magnification. A substrate table is moved in two perpendicular directions. Two interferometer systems measure a mutual position of the mask and substrate during each imaging operation. The measuring mirrors are formed by reflecting side faces of the mask holder and the substrate holder. The interferometer system is a five-axis system with at least three measuring axes. It cooperates with a first mirror, perpendicular to the X direction and second mirror, perpendicular to the Y direction. Contactless sensors are provided to measure mask movement not measured by the three-axis interferometer system. The mask holder has measuring faces associated with the sensors.

Abstract: The method of processing biopolymers, microorganisms and substances by using
two or more kinds of magnetic particles according to this invention can automatically
and consistently perform a series of processes, such as extraction, isolation or
measurement of DNA and the like, by a combined use of at least two or more kinds of
magnetic particles and can also prevent cross-contamination completely. 
     The processing method of this invention is performed in the following manner.
Biopolymers, microorganisms or substances are bound to magnetic particles by using a
pipette tip removably mounted to the front end of a pipette nozzle of a transfer pipette
to perform a purification process such as capturing of cells or dissolving of cell nuclei or
protein to extract DNA and the like. The extracted DNA and the like are amplified as
required and then particular DNA and the like are isolated by binding them, through
the use of the pipette tip, to other magnetic particles that are coated with antibody,
probe, biotin or streptavidin. Then, the isolated particular DNA and the like are
assayed by chemiluminescence, fluorescence or coloring reaction.

Abstract: A gene is transferred to the early stage chicken embryo by
electroporation with placing the electrode tips to hold both ends of
the embryo. Transfer of the desired gene to the early stage embryo
was detected using the β-galactosidase gene of  E coli  as a reporter
gene. The expression of the gene in the early stage embryo of chicken
was thus confirmed. This method for transferring a gene into
undifferentiated cells is simple to implement, highly efficient in
transferring a gene, and applicable to various animal species.

Abstract: A method and system (10) for compressing and decompressing video image data in real time employs thresholding and facsimile-based encoding to eliminate the need for computationally intense two-dimensional transform-based compression techniques. The method operates first by forming a difference frame which contains only information pertaining to the difference between a current video image frame and a computed approximation of the video image frame. The difference frame is fed to a thresholder (32) which categorizes each pixel in the frame as being either in a first set having intensities above or at a preset threshold, or a second set having intensities below a preset threshold. A facsimile-based compression algorithm in an encoder (44) is then employed to encode the first set of above or at threshold pixel locations. To compress the intensity data for each above or at threshold pixel, a quantizer (40) and a lossless encoder (50) are preferably employed.

Abstract: A packet based telecommunication system, such as ATM, comprises a main data path and at least one bypass path, for bypassing a portion of the data path, the portion and the respective bypass defining a protection domain, the system comprising nodes for each of the domains, for monitoring respective domains and for issueing alarms in the form of packets, to other nodes downstream, with a domain identifier indicating the respective domain in which the alarm originated. At a given one of the nodes an alarm issued from a node upstream of the given node and a corresponding identifier, are detected. At the given node it is determined whether to trigger a rerouting of the data along one of the bypass paths which bypasses the domain monitored by the given node, on the basis of the detected domain identifier. Using the identifier, downstream nodes can determine more easily whether the alarm is caused by a domain which has a bypass path triggered by another node upstream. Thus the problem of unnessary triggering, can be overcome without the considerable additional complexity, cost, and speed penalty of having nodes which must extract the alarm, modify it and send it on.
