Abstract: The invention provides a chimeric peptide or mixture of chimeric peptides that can be formulated as an immunizing composition and used in a method for immunization of a mammal against an internal peptide cleavage product derived from a precursor or mature protein, for which the peptide cleavage product and the precursor or mature protein are self molecules. The chimeric peptide or peptides have an end-specific B cell epitope from a naturally-occurring internal peptide cleavage product of a precursor or mature protein, as a free N- or C-terminus, fused with or without spacer residues to a T helper cell epitope derived from a living source different from that of the internal peptide cleavage product.

Abstract: A device for measuring the rate of flow of fluids in a conduit is positioned within the conduit and includes a tube having two spaced part detectors which are separated by shielding units either side of them which are not in electrical contact with the detector units, when a variable electrical field is applied between the walls of the conduit and the shielding units the detector units detect discontinuities in the fluid, e.g., by detecting changes in the ratio of voltage to current and by correlating the movement of the discontinuities between the detector units, it is possible to measure the rate of flow of the fluid.

Abstract: The method involves filtering a low band signal through the analysis part of a digital filter bank and obtaining a set of subband signals. A number of the subband signals are patched from consecutive channels of the filter bank to consecutive channels in the synthesis part of a digital filter bank. Each of the subband signals is patched from a channel with frequency index k to a channel with frequency index j not equal to k. The patched subband signals are adjusted in accordance to a desired spectral envelope. The adjusted subband signals are filtered through the synthesis part of a digital filter bank. An envelope adjusted and frequency translated or folded signal is obtained. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for enhancement of source coding systems using high-frequency reconstruction techniques.

Abstract: A cigarette inspection device includes four sensors, two for sensing the ends and one for sensing the middle portion of a cigarette to detect loose tobacco and filter presence at the ends, and the presence of a foil band at the middle portion. The fourth sensor provides machine timing information to determine the three conditions of detection. Binary information is then input to a PLC for data reduction and rejection, if the conditions are not present. The program in the PLC allows the end of the cigarette to be scanned multiple times for loose tobacco. Also, foil sensing and filter sensing are done along with the loose tobacco sensing. A shift register is loaded with the resultant detection data, and a reject valve or similar device is operated to remove faulty cigarettes from the product stream.

Abstract: The plant, comprising a high-pressure column (101), an intermediate pressure column (102) with a boiler (24), and a low pressure column (103), has no means for argon enrichment of a fluid containing between 3 and 20 per cent/mol of argon other than the three aforementioned columns. During operation a mixture of at least oxygen, nitrogen and argon is fed into the high-pressure column, where it is separated into oxygen-rich and nitrogen-rich fractions. Part of both fractions is fed to the low-pressure column, which operates at preferably above 4 bars, and the gas from the lower part of this column is sent to the boiler in the intermediate column and at least partially condensed before being returned to the low-pressure column. Oxygen-rich and nitrogen-rich fluids (31, 72) are then drawn from the low-pressure column; at least part of the nitrogen-rich fluid is at least partly condensed in a vaporizer/condenser linked to the low-pressure column, and at least part of the partly condensed fluid is fed back to the high-pressure column, but no fluid containing 3-20 per cent/mol of argon is enriched with argon in any column apart from the high-pressure, low-pressure or intermediate-pressure columns. An Independent claim is also included for the instillation for the cryogenic air separating procedure.

Abstract: Methods, and corresponding apparatus, for detecting the occurrence of cracks or fractures are described and claimed. The methods utilize Bragg gratings, and the occurrence of a crack is detected by detecting a change in the reflectance and/or transmittance characteristics of the Bragg grating when the crack is transmitted to it. In addition to merely detecting that a crack has occurred, the methods may also provide information on the position of the fracture along the length of the Bragg grating. This may be achieved by comparing the peak intensities and/or widths of the optical reflectance spectra of the unbroken and broken grating. In certain preferred embodiments the Bragg gratings are interrogated using the combination of a broad band source and an optical spectrum analyser, or a tunable laser source and a broad band detector.

Abstract: A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a Dispersed Active Metal ("DAM") hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form an oxidized catalyst precursor that is unique in comparison to those formed by conventional high temperature deactivation processes. The oxidized catalyst precursor, which is stable, is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature. The process is useful in a wide variety of DAMs formed by art-recognized techniques. The process is equally applicable to the enhanced catalysts formed from the oxidized precursors and their use in hydrogenation reactions.

Abstract: A Network Processor (NP) includes a controller that allows maximum utilization of the memory. The controller includes a memory arbiter that monitors memory access requests from requesters in the NP and awards high priority requesters all the memory bandwidth requested per access to the memory.
