Patent EP-0162692-A3 (EP)
IPC: A61F5/058
Filed: 1985-05-20
Abstract: A splint device for the immobilization of a preselected 
portion of the body, such as a digital member. The splint 
device preferably comprises a splint means comprising a 
ring-like base portion adapted to fit snugly around a digit in 
proximity to its proximal end. Extending from the base por­
tion there are provided a plurality of essentially rigid elon­
gated support members which are spaced apart around the 
base portion so as to immobilize the contained digit, pref­
erably on more than one of its sides, each of the support 
members terminating at a free end which is in the vicinity 
of, or beyond the distal end, of the digit. The ring-like base 
portion is preferably expandable. The splint device may also 
comprise restraining means which may be positioned around 
the support member for retaining the support members ad­
jacent the digital member, and an end cap which may be 
positioned on the free ends of the support members.

Title: Method of cultivating, in milk, organisms having a slow growth capacity, and organisms produced by the method, and milk products containing such organisms
IPC: A23C9/123
Filed: 1985-02-21
Abstract: A method of cultivating in milk, organisms having a slow growth capacity, an organism produced according to the method and an edible milk product containing such organisms produced according to the invention. In executing the method a bulk starter culture is prepared by cultivating bacteria, for instance bacteria of the strain Lactobacillus acidophilus or any species of Bifidobacteria like adolescentis, breve, longum or infantis, or slow growing species of Streptococcus, whereby milk having an additive of growth stimulants is UHT (ultra high temperature) treated and is cooled to an optimum growth temperature for the bacterial culture and is inoculated with the bacterial culture, whereafter the culture is allowed to grow until the bacterial count is more than 10<8> per ml. Parallelly thereto, a milk medium containing growth stimulants and possibly an additive of proteins is prepared in a carefully cleaned and disinfected container, and the milk mixture is UHT treated and cooled to optimum growth temperature for the bacterial culture, whereupon the process milk batch is inoculated with bulk starter culture in growth phase in an amount of 2,5-25% or preferably 5-20%. The culture is allowed to grow at optimum temperature until the bacterial count is more than 10<8> per ml, whereupon the process is broken and the product is cooled and packed.

Patent EP-0212465-A3 (EP)
IPC: C07K14/475
Filed: 1986-08-07
Abstract: Physiologically active growth factors produced by mela­
noma and astrocytoma cell lines support continued prolifera­
tion of slow-growing cells such as melanocytes in the absence 
of other added compounds.  
     WI-38, a fibroblast cell line derived from human embryonic 
lung, was the most active source of melanocyte growth fac­
tors. No melanocyte growth promoting activity was found in 
extracts of cultured neuroblastoma, renal cancer, normal kera­
tinocytes or renal epithelium. Nerve growth factor, epidermal 
growth factor, melanocyte stimulating hormone, transforming 
growth factor - Beta, and platelet-derived growth factor lacked 
growth promoting activity for melanocytes. The presence of 
melanocyte growth factors and TPA together resulted in the 
strongest mitogenic activity for slow-growing cells such as 
melanocytes, permitting the recovery (at 20 days) of 4 to 20 
times more cells than in factor or TPA alone. A synergistic or 
augmented effect is seen with TPA plus melanocyte growth 
factor.

Patent EP-0200353-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04M7/14
Filed: 1986-03-26
Abstract: The public telephone network is being enhanced 
by the inclusion of digital exchanges in what was 
hitherto a mainly analogue network, with digital links 
between the digital exchanges and also (with suitable 
conversion) between analogue and digital exchanges. In 
addition, analogue PABX's are being replaced by digital 
PABX's, which raises a number of problems.  
     To deal with one problem a concentrator-expander 
(2,4) pair can be used, which concentrates a number of 
digital links (1) on to a set (3), less in number of 
links to an expander (4) at which the links (3) are 
expanded to a set of links (6) equal in number and 
corresponding to the first links which gave access to a 
digital exchange (5). Signalling uses some of the time 
slots on the concentrator-expander links (3), so that 
although communication is channel-concentrated, 
signalling is not. Such a concentrator-expander pair, or 
pair gain arrangement, is system-independent.  
     Digital PABX's, and also digital lines thus 
added in place of analogue PABX's and lines are parented 
on digital public exchanges, but also have access to 
public analogue exchanges. Such digital PABX's and lines 
retain their old numbers for incoming analogue calls, 
allocated to the analogue PABX's which they replace, but 
have new numbers for incoming calls using digital 
facilities. Outgoing calls use new digital access via a 
multiplexer (12).

Abstract: The present invention provides a scanning system, 
producing and storing a digital representation of an image, 
comprising:  
a support, for the image to be scanned, and a carriage 
which are movable relative to one another in a longitudinal 
direction;  
a probe, movable on the carriage in a direction trans­
verse to said longitudinal direction, for producing a digital 
signal related to the density of the image;  
a digital computer for producing digital control signals 
for controlling the relative movement of the support and the 
carriage and the movement of the probe on the carriage so 
that the probe can be scanned over the image; and  
pulse generating means for generating a synchronisa­
tion pulse when the probe has moved a predetermined 
distance in the transverse direction for enabling digital 
image signals produced by the probe at each position during 
its scanning to be transmitted to the digital computer,  
the digital computer being arranged to receive the digital 
image signals produced by the probe and the pulse from the 
generating means, and to correlate the pulse, the digital 
image signals and the digital control signals to produce a 
digital representation of the image for storage in the 
computer.

IPC: F15B15/06
Filed: 1987-12-23
Abstract: The invention concerns an actuator for the operation of on-off 
valves. Said actuator includes a supporting body (1) in which 
there is transversally one pneumatic cylinder (8, 9) at least, 
able to activate in the two directions a rack (7) which engages 
itself with a cogged wheel (31; 50; 100) co-axial with the 
central shaft (15, 66, 104) of said actuator and able to transmit 
its own rotation through a pair of free wheels (27, 28; 61, 62; 
109, 110) which rigidly and alternatively engage themselves in 
discordant directions with a ring (33, 34; 62, 63; 108) integral 
with the central shaft of the actuator, operation means by 
pneumatic pistons being foreseen for the relative axial movement 
between the cogged wheel and the shaft of the actuator. Depending 
on the mutual distance between the free wheels, it happens that 
in the absence of the pneumatic signal the actuator has its 
central shaft blocked or manually manoeuvreable. Moreover, 
besides the direct rotation of the throttle valve being integral 
with the shaft of the actuator, the operation of guillotine-type 
valves is foreseen by providing the shaft of the actuator with a 
nut screw (68) and with a screw (59) integrated with said 
guillotine.

Abstract: A system for personalization of I.C. microchip cards includes a feed mechanism 1, which feeds blank plastics cards into an encoder 2, which encodes a magnetic stripe on each card with personalized data from a magnetic tape or disk 3. Correctly encoded cards are then fed to a personalization module 6 consisting of up to sixty I.C. write stations 7 for programming a microchip of each card with data corresponding to that encoded on the magnetic stripe. The module moves relative to the in-feed and out-feed lines of the cards, at a speed in dependence on the programming time, which can vary depending on the volume and complexity of the programme. The magnetically encoded and programmed cards may then optionally be provided with human-readable information by an embosser or printer 10 before being fed out of the system.
