Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour refroidir et conserver des poissons et des produits dérivés de poissons ainsi traités. Les poissons sont refroidis au moyen d'un milieu réfrigérant dans des cuves, des récipients ou tout autre installation appropriée. Les poissons sont également traités par au moins un agent de conservation. Les poissons sont soumis à un traitement combiné d'un milieu réfrigérant et d'un agent de conservation. Ce traitement fait appel à un milieu réfrigérant contenant des acides monocarboxyliques en C1-4 et/ou des mono-/di- ou tétra-sels constitués de sels de métaux alcalins et/ou alcalino-terreux de ces acides. Le refroidissement se fait au moyen d'un milieu réfrigérant, qui est une solution aqueuse contenant 5-30 % en poids de sels monocarboxyliques en C1-4 et 95-70 % en poids d'eau, ou une glace binaire contenant un agent de conservation. La saumure ou glace binaire préférée contient du formiate de potassium et/ou du diformiate de potassium et/ou de l'acide formique. Le pH de la saumure peut être ajusté par l'addition d'un acide ou d'un di-sel, pour avoir l'équivalent d'une addition du mono-sel à la saumure.

Abstract: The present invention provides the base sequence defined as Sequence No. 1, DNA comprising a part of the sequence, or DNA containing the sequence, and relates to a promoter gene of the porcine complement inhibitor. In generating transgenic pigs transformed with human complement inhibitor and/or such thrombosis-inhibiting factors as thrombomudulin (collectively termed the complement inhibitor), DNA of the invention can effectively be used to express the complement inhibitor by integrating the gene into the upstream part of the human complement-inhibitor gene. Since hyperacute rejection, which occurs on transplanting a porcine organ or tissue to man, can be prevented, xenotransplantaion of the porcine organs and tissues to man will become possible. Therefore, the problem of the lack of donors for transplantation can be solved.

Abstract: This reforming apparatus is provided with a raw material reforming unit including a heat source for generating heat when a fuel gas is burnt and adapted to reaction heat directly from the heat source, steam-reform a material, and produce a reformed gas containing hydrogen as a main component, a shift reaction unit for reducing by a water shift reaction the amount of CO contained in the reformed gas produced in the raw material reforming unit, a CO oxidation unit adapted to further reduce the amount of CO contained in the reformed gas after the process in the shift: reaction unit, by oxidazing the same. These units are united as independent units. These raw material reforming unit, shift reaction unit and CO oxidation unit are arranged so that the shift reaction unit and the CO oxidation unit are indirectly heated by the heat transmitted from the heat source of the raw material reforming unit. The indirect heating is conducted by a method of heat transmission in solid by which heat is transmitted from the outer faces of the combustion chamber via an intermediate member, a method utilizing radiant heat, and a method utilizing heat of a combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber. Since this reforming apparatus is provided with these three independent reaction sections united together, it can be miniaturized, and the heat from the heat source can be utilized effectively, and the controlling of temperature in the reaction sections can be done excellently. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transmission of information in packet form in a channel between a number of transmitter/receiver stations. According to the method, information is transmitted between the stations using two access methods. The first access method listens to the channel and transmits on the channel after a certain time after the channel has been confirmed to be free. The second access method uses time division. According to the invention, these two access methods are combined in such a manner that a transmission (TC1) using the first access method with acknowledgement request (PF) is followed by acknowledgement transmissions (KV1-KVn) using the second, time division access method, and that acknowledgement information is always received in the transmitter station irrespective of the level of interference on the channel.
