Patent EP-1323462-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STROUP ERIC WILSON
IPC: B01D63/02
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A filter device made of less expensive material than comparable filter devices heretofore
has basic filter components plus some unique design aspects and an additional ring
component. The ring provides an interface inside the filter which enables the potting compound
to adhere to the filter and create a seal between a first and second fluid compartment within the
filter. An embedded region of the ring possesses a detailed geometry which helps ensure that a
delamination would be localized and unable to propagate from the first to the second
compartment, maintaining the structural integrity of the filter device. To ensure that the sealing
interface remains intact and free from delamination, the ring is subjected to a surface treatment,
which modifies the surface energy of the ring. This modified surface energy of the ring allows
the hydrophilic potting compound to more effectively bond to the modified hydrophobic ring.

Title: Additional contact for an electric component and piezoelectric component in the form of a multilayer structure
Inventor: CRAMER DIETER
IPC: H02N2/04

Abstract: A method of forming an array of electrically addressable cells, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a set of parallel conductor strips (4), extending in a first direction, on an insulating substrate (2); (b) forming an insulating layer superimposed on the first series of parallel strips; (c) forming a second set of parallel conductor strips (6), extending in a direction at right angles to the first direction, superimposed on the insulating layer so as to form crossover regions between the strips, and (d) forming wells in the structure which extend through the conductor strips, so that the wells at the crossover regions can be addressed electronically in the conductor strips. The addressable array of cells can then be used for selectively reacting a substance with a series of different reagents by a method which involves addressing selected groups of cells with electrical signals using the matrix of conductor strips, and applying an electrolyte to the array in such a way that the selected cells can either be shuttered by gas bubbles formed by the electrolyte, to protect them from reaction, or can be subjected to a local change in pH which promotes a reaction. In this way a matrix of chemicals can be synthesised so that the composition and spatial position is known for each component of the matrix.

Filed: 2002-10-18
Abstract: An optical reproducing apparatus in which reproduction of information is carried out by using an optical record carrier. In order to compensate a radial tilt between the surface of the record carrier and the objective lens, the objective lens is tilted. In the optical apparatus of the invention, the actuator of the radial displacement of the objective lens is used to also tilt the objective lens at the same time. A displacement of the objective lens in the radial direction by the actuator has a direct effect of tilting the objective lens. This is accomplished by a mechanical link between the radial displacement and the radial tilting. This has the advantage that there is no need for an extra tilt actuator to tilt the objective lens.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNFα, comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of a tumor necrosis factor ligand other than TNFα, wherein the encoded domain or subdomain replaces a cleavage site of native TNFα, and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of native TNFα that binds to a TNFα receptor. The encoded chimeric TNFα is significantly less susceptible to cleavage from the cellular surface and, as a result can increase the concentration of a ligand capable of binding to a TNFα receptor on the surface of a cell. The chimeric TNFα is therefore useful in methods for inducing apoptosis of a cell expressing a TNFα receptor, inducing activation of an immune system cell and treating neoplastic cells, by introducing into the cell of interest an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNFα that is expressed on the surface of the cell.

Abstract: A process treats liquid effluent containing ammonium, phosphate and phosphates and solid particles. The liquid is first treated by mechanical separation and ultra- or micro-filtration, followed by precipitation of ammonium and phosphates as magnesium-ammonium-phosphate. Residual organic matter is then broken down under aerobic conditions and ammonia removed.  Further organic residual compounds still present in the water and dissolved salts are then removed from water by reverse osmosis. The first mechanical separation process is a multi-stage operation. The ultra- or micro-filtration is a cross-flow process at a pass rate of 1-4 m/s. The precipitation is driven by the admixture of magnesium oxide, caustic soda and phosphoric acid as required. The Mol ratio of Mg, NH3 and phosphates is in the range (1 to 2) : 1 (0.5 to 1) . The pH value is set at pref. 8 to 10 by the dosed admixture of caustic soda. The biological break-down takes place in an activated membrane unit. Also claimed is a commensurate assembly consisting of a liquid/solids separator, a settlement tank, a sediment holder and an activated membrane unit and a reverse osmosis assembly.
