Patent EP-0207006-A3 (EP)
IPC: A23G9/48
Filed: 1986-03-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacture of a 
new individual sweet featuring ice cream and sponge, and to 
plant therefor.  
     The process involves depositing sponge mix on files of 
individual papers (2) perforated from continuous sheet (1), 
baking, and then topping the sponge discs produced with ice 
cream; the sponge is then folded across into a "turnover", 
enveloping the ice cream, and the end-product duly frozen.  
     Plant for implementation of the process comprises a 
perforator, a first batching unit (3) and an oven (5), all of 
which conventional, which turn out composite bases each 
consisting of a paper (2) and a sponge base (4), also, a con­
veyor (6) with folding bearers (15) on which the composite 
bases are set in readiness to receive ice cream from a 
second batching unit (7); guide means are provided which 
occasion rotation of the bearer's folding parts such that the 
sponge is wrapped around the ice cream.

Title: Screw-threaded cable fitting
IPC: H02G3/06
Filed: 1987-02-03
Abstract: In connection with a screw-type connection made of a plastic material for leading in, leading through, sealing and strain-relieving cables, lines, or the like, comprising an intermediate connecting piece with sealing body and a cap nut, the hollow cylindrical intermediate connecting piece carrying coaxially arranged clamping tongues which press the sealing body against the fitted cable when the cap nut is turned, it is proposed that the cap nut or the intermediate connecting piece be provided with catches arranged preferably in uniform distribution over the circumference and projecting towards the other part so that a preliminary fixing effect can be achieved between the cap nut and the intermediate connecting piece by mere exertion of pressure. The catches form in this case sort of an elastic preliminary thread, and the cap nut can be screwed on further immediately from its pre-assembled position. Further, projecting retaining ribs are provided on the inner faces of the clamping tongues in the ring of clamping tongues which serve to fix the sealing body provisionally in position during insertion thereof. This feature also serves to facilitate the pre-assembly operation.

Patent EP-0233748-A3 (EP)
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1987-02-10
Abstract: An acousto-optic frequency shifter having a long interac­
tion region is used as an optical analyzer. A variable frequ­
ency signal generator (340) is used to drive an acoustic trans­
ducer (316) to launch an acoustic wave in contact with an 
optical fiber (300). The acoustic frequency is varied over a 
known range to generate acoustic waves having known 
wavelengths. An optical signal having an unknown optical 
wavelength is introduced into one end (302) of the optical 
fiber (300) in a first polarization mode. The effect of the ac­
oustic wave on the optical signal is to cause coupling of the 
optical signal from the first polarization mode to a second 
orthogonal polarization mode. The amount of the coupling is 
dependent upon the phase matching between the acoustic 
wavelength and the optical beat length. The coupling be­
tween the polarization modes is maximum when the acoustic 
wavelength is equal to the optical beat length, The intensity 
of the optical signal coupled to the second polarization mode 
can be measured to determine the optical wavelength cor­
responding to the acoustic wavelength when the maximum 
intensity occurs.

Patent EP-0277837-A3 (EP)
Title: Methods for separating malignant cells from clinical specimens
IPC: C12Q1/02
Filed: 1988-02-05
Abstract: Fragments of a biopsy sample on the order of about 50 to 5000 cells are preferred for establishing viable tumor cell cultures for purposes such as establishing cell lines, chemotherapeutic assays and the like. Such fragments retain the three-dimensional cellular structure or organization of the original tumor and, therefore, can be cultured more readily. To obtain such fragments suitable for culturing, the biopsy sample can be enzymatically digested in a proteolytic or nucleolytic enzyme, such as collagenase, or by mechanical dissociation, or both where necessary. The fragments can then be suspended in an aqueous medium so that non-aggregated cells (e.g., red blood cells, lymphocytes, macrophages) and cellular debris will form a supernatant while the remaining fragments containing aggregated tumor cells are deposited in a sediment layer. Preferably, the medium is an isotonic tissue culture medium and decantation is conducted at least twice; first in a serum-containing medium and then, secondly, in a serum-free medium. Fragments containing living tumor cells can be selected by fluorochromasia, that is, by contacting the sedimented layer with a fluorogenic substrate such that viable tumor cells take up and hydrolyse the substrate, and then exhibit fluorescence. Cytotoxicity assay protocols employing tumor cell aggregates prepared by the present techniques are also disclosed.

Patent EP-0341401-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01P1/16
Filed: 1989-03-18
Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in Radar 
Transponder in which unnecessary waveguide electro­
magnetic field modes are not generated. More 
particularly, since a radar transponder is configurated 
so as to connect its amplifying means and detecting 
means via a metal body having resilience on the antenna 
housing, the volume of the waveguide becomes more smaller 
than that of the conventional one. According to the 
composition as described above, it is possible that the 
cut-off frequency is set higher than the frequency of the 
required band. Therefore, unnecessary waveguide 
electromagnetic field modes are not generated.

method and apparatus for an internal combustion engine 
having a plurality of cylinders. 
The apparatus includes a knock sensor (401) for detecting 
a knocking condition in the engine, sensors (40, 50, 60) 
for detecting other operating conditions of the engine, 
a microprocessor unit (12) for receiving signals from the

of the engine and generate an ignition timing control 
signal, and a power transistor circuit (74) responsive to 
the ignition timing control signal from the microprocessor

Title: Impedance compensation circuit in a speaker driving system
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 1989-05-03
Abstract: In an impedance compensation circuit of a 
speaker driving system, an ideal impedance state of the 
speaker can be equivalently formed by the equivalent 
impedance means, and is compared with an impedance 
state of an actual speaker. On the basis of the 
comparison result, a positive feedback gain in the 
speaker driving means is controlled. Therefore, even 
when the internal impedance of the speaker or the 
impedance of the connecting cable varies, or when the 
internal impedance of the speaker is changed upon a 
change in temperature, the motional impedance of the 
speaker can always be driven and damped with a 
constant driving impedance. For this reason, in the 
negative-impedance driving system, an ideal speaker 
control state can always be realized.

Title: An oil resistant thermoplastic elastomer composed of a polyvinyl chloride-acrylate copolymer
IPC: C08F214/06
Filed: 1989-09-06
Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer is presented which is a 
composition made from a vinyl chloride type monomer 
or monomers and acrylate monomers. The elastomer 
includes an oil resistance agent. The oil resistance 
agent is one or more acrylate monomers having the 
formula 
  
wherein R¹ is aliphatic, aromatic, alkoxy, or 
combinations thereof, having from 1 to 6 carbon 
atoms, or halogenated derivatives thereof, or 
hydrogen; and R² is aliphatic, aromatic, 
alkylhydroxyl, or combinations thereof, having from 1 
to 18 carbon atoms, or halogenated derivatives 
thereof; or hydrocarbyl ether such as alkoxyalkyl, 
phenoxyaryl, phenoxyalkyl, or combinations thereof, 
having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or substituted 
halogen, oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur derivatives 
thereof, wherein the total number of atoms in R² is 
from about 3 to about 80. Optionally, an acrylate 
monomer which acts as a physical property enhancer is 
added. Improvements are achieved in the oil 
resistance of the thermoplastic elastomer and lead to 
an elastomer which can be used where oil resistance 
is important, such as in certain types of shoe soles, 
gaskets, and pipe liners. These improvements are 
balanced against compression set and brittleness 
characteristics.
