Abstract: A gas jet film deposition system includes a source of thermionically emitted electrons which are accelerated through carrier gas and generate He ions by impact ionization. The resultant electron avalanching and multiplication generates an extremely dense plasma, and produces large electron currents. The electron current is collected at a free, high electric field end of a crucible. The present system can generate vaporized evaporant which is entrained in the gas jet and thereby provide a high density source of ions. The ions may be presented to a substrate together with or without the evaporant.

Abstract: An improved alcohol-free method for fractionating gluten into gliadin and glutenin fractions is provided where an acidic dispersion of gluten is formed with a reducing agent (e.g., sodium metabisulfite) operable for breaking disulfide bonds in the gluten protein. Thereafter, the pH of the dispersion is raised to cause glutenin to precipitate while leaving gliadin suspended in the dispersion. The respective fractions can then be separated by decanting or centrifugation. In preferred processing, the dispersion is reacidified prior to separation in order to achieve a higher degree of separation of the glutenin and gliadin.

Abstract: A pumping segment of a fluid line alternately in fluid communication with the upstream and downstream portions of the fluid line connects a fluid supply to a fluid receiver. A pressure sensor located downstream of the segment monitors the pressure during the segment's communication with the upstream and downstream ends. The pressure difference is used to establish a pressure threshold against which the average pressure is compared to determine if an upstream occlusion exists. Should the average pressure fall within a cautionary zone, the pump is reversed to examine the pressure difference once again. Based on the pressure difference during the reversal, a pressure threshold line may be adjusted thereby adapting to fluid administration conditions.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une pompe, laquelle comprend une enceinte définissant une cavité, au moins un alésage, une entrée d'alésage, ainsi qu'une sortie d'alésage. L'alésage s'étend de la cavité jusqu'à la sortie, tandis que l'entrée communique avec l'alésage en une position située entre la cavité et la sortie. Un vilebrequin monté dans des supports possède une partie excentrique située dans la cavité. Cette partie excentrique est couplée à un piston de manière à ce que la rotation du vilebrequin fasse aller et venir ledit piston dans l'alésage afin qu'il passe d'une position de refoulement à une position d'admission et vice-versa. L'alésage peut être décalé d'un axe de rotation de manière à réduire la flexion du piston lors de la rotation du vilebrequin. Lors du montage de la pompe, les pièces distinctes de l'enceinte peuvent être assemblées les unes aux autres de manière à faciliter l'installation des composants internes assurant le pompage.

Abstract: A heating system having a thermostat (8) which switches temperature-dependently between an "on" condition and an "off" condition and which is heated anticipatorily. The power of the heating system is controlled between a switched-off position, one or more intermediate positions and the maximum power by a control unit (15) depending on the duration of at least "on" or "off" phases during which these "on" or "off" conditions respectively occur. There are further described a heating boiler and a method utilizing the same type of control. Because the lengths of the time intervals during which the thermostat is in the "on" and/or "off" condition are measured, it is possible to obtain with a simple room thermostat - which is usually already present when a heating boiler is replaced - having only "on"-"off" signalling an indication of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature, on the basis of which the continuous power of the heat source can be controlled.
