Filed: 2003-09-25
Abstract: After passing through the roller assembly the material falls onto a sorting table (10) subjected to a blast of air from a nozzle controlled by an electromagnetic valve (16). There is a capacitive sensor (18) under the sorting table, connected to a computer. A blast of air from the nozzle blows selected items into a perforated collector hood (14) and a bag (15).  The material to be sorted is put into a hopper (1) with an item singling system (2). This consists of an upper pair (3) of identical rollers (5) with spiral arrangements of vanes (6). The lower pair of rollers (4) consists of a plain roller (7) adjacent to a smaller diameter roller (8) with a spiral arrangement of vanes (9). A video camera (19) looks at the output from the roller system and is connected to a computer.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes destinés à empêcher l'administration d'un entraînement anti-tachycardie (ATP), suite à une induction de seuil de défibrillation (DFT) au niveau d'un implant. Un algorithme classifiant les différentes phases comme induites ou spontanées, est mis en oeuvre, ce qui permet à l'ATP, pendant une caractéristique de charge, d'être opérationnel seulement lorsque des phases spontanées sont détectées, et de suspendre temporairement la caractéristique ATP pendant l'administration d'un choc de défibrillation, après que l'induction a été confirmée. Une interface utilisateur permet également l'interaction des utilisateurs avec un dispositif médical implantable (IMD), en particulier pour établir un seuil de défibrillation (DFT) ou une rafale de 50Hz à partir d'un écran programmateur unique. L'interface utilisateur comprend diverses fonctionnalités facilitant un accès utilisateur rapide aux paramètres qui déterminent le diagnostic, le traitement et d'autres caractéristiques du dispositif médical implantable. Un écran unique permet à l'utilisateur d'exécuter des inductions de DFT automatiques et/ou manuelles ou une rafale de 50Hz à partir d'une interface programmateur, et acquière parallèlement la documentation associée à partir de la même interface.

eine digitale Vorverarbeitung und nachfolgend eine digitale Filterung des
empfangenen Reflexionssignals in den einzelnen Entfernungstoren erfolgt,
wobei für die Filterung ein nichtlineares digitales Filter zur Unterdrückung
transienter Störungen verwendet wird. Vorzugsweise wird für die
nichtlineare digitale Filterung ein Medianfilter verwendet, bei dem aus jeweils
einer ungeraden Anzahl von aufeinanderfolgenden Abtastwerten eines innerhalb
eines Entfernungstors erfassten Reflexionssignals der Median bestimmt wird.
Das Filter kann gleitend ausgebildet sein.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil, destiné à régler la température corporelle d'un patient, comprenant une enceinte définissant un espace intérieur servant à recevoir au moins une partie du corps du patient. Cette enceinte est adaptée à enfermer sensiblement de façon étanche la portion du corps du patient dans l'espace intérieur de l'enceinte. Le liquide de transfert de chaleur peut être alors mis en circulation à travers l'espace intérieur de l'enceinte via une entrée et une sortie afin de s'écouler sur le corps du patient en contact direct afin de favoriser le transfert de chaleur entre le liquide et le corps du patient. La température du liquide de transfert de chaleur peut être plus élevée ou plus faible que la température corporelle du patient, afin de réchauffer ou de refroidir la portion corporelle. Il est possible d'utiliser un refroidissement régulé afin d'induire une hypothermie thérapeutique, alors qu'un réchauffement régulé peut être utilisé afin de contrer une hypothermie inattendue. L'appareil comprend aussi une unité de commande portative comprenant un système de distribution de liquide, une source d'alimentation, un système de commande et une interface utilisateur destinée à mettre en marche et à commander le système de distribution de liquide.

Abstract: The method of installing an alcohol beverage bag (10) into a container (12) such as a beer keg through an aperture (46) in the container has the steps of folding the bag into overlapping panels so as to have a cross-sectional area able to pass through the aperture of the container and then inserting the folded bag through the aperture and into the container. The beverage bag comprises first (14) and second (16) rectangular panels having peripheral edges (22) welded together to form a first seam (18). Each panel has an area larger than a cross-sectional area for the keg and the panels are sized relative to the keg cross-sectional area to permit the panels to be forced apart during bag filling so as to expand bag internal space to approximate the volume of the keg. The bag has an open neck (30) member passing through an aperture of the first panel and welded thereto to form a second seam (32). The aperture in the first panel of the bag is preferably offset from the center (26) of the panel to reduce the likelihood of the first seam of the bag being bunched together and pulled at one time through the keg aperture during bag extraction. Consequently, less stress is placed on the seams during bag extraction from the keg thereby enhancing the recycling life of the bag.

Abstract: The present invention describes methods and processes for the production of proteins, particularly glycoproteins, by animal cell or mammalian cell culture, preferably, but not limited to, fed-batch cell cultures. In one aspect, the methods comprise at least two temperature shifts performed during the culturing period, in which the temperature is lower at the end of the culturing period than at the time of initial cell culture. Throughout their duration, the culturing processes of the invention involving two or more downward shifts in temperature sustain a high viability of the cultured cells, and can yield an increased end titer of protein product, and a high quality of protein product, as determined, e.g., by sialic acid content of the produced protein. In another aspect, the methods comprise the delayed addition of polyanionic compound during the culturing period. The delayed addition of polyanionic compound sustains a high viability of the cultured cells, and can extend the growth phase, delay the onset of the death phase, and arrest the death phase.

Abstract: A vehicle drive force control apparatus is provided that can stabilize the output of
the electric motor (4) even if the engine rotational speed experiences an acute change. The
output of an engine (2) is delivered to the left and right front wheels (1L and 1R) through a
transmission (30) and also to an electric generator (7). The output voltage of the electric
generator (7) is supplied to an electric motor (4) and the output of the electric motor (4)
drives the left and right rear wheels (3L and 3R). The drive force control device predicts
if the rotational speed of the engine (2) will decrease or increase acutely based on the
upshifting and downshifting of the transmission (30) and adjusts the field current of the
electric generator (7) up or down before the acute change in the engine rotational speed
occurs.
