Abstract: A distributer (1) which divides a fluid uniformly, e.g. for supplying liquid dye to an applicator across the width of a textile line, consists of a container with a central feed (4) and peripheral exit openings (6) from where the liquid is taken to the applicator, e.g. in flexible hoses. The container is in the shape of a hollow circular disc (5) so that the liquid flows radially outwards to the exit openings at gradually reducing velocity. At least some of the exit openings (6) have a valve (8) to close off the flow cross- section.

Abstract: In an epoxidation process wherein an olefin is reacted with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a titanium-containing molecular sieve catalyst and a salt, the tendency of the catalyst to produce greater quantities of oxygen as it ages due to non-selective decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide may be counteracted by the addition of a chelating agent bearing hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, and/or phosphoryl groups. The use of such a chelating agent enables selectivity to epoxide to be maintained at a desirably high level for a prolonged period of time in a continuous epoxidation unit.

Abstract: One or more press cylinders are driven individually or in groups by motors with regulators functioning in response to signals from an angular-position emitter. The corrector unit (7) is connected between the emitter (6) and regulator (3), and converts the actual position values (LI) from the emitter into modified ones (LI'), in response to which the position of the cylinder (1) is regulated. The unit can be a storage one for the actual and modified values, or alternatively a computer calculating the modified values from the actual ones. Modification can be dependent on actual printing requirements. A value representing the speed of the drive mechanism can also be fed to the corrector unit, modification of the actual-position values being dependent on this value.

Abstract: A diagnostic method is disclosed which utilises short C-terminal fragments of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato derived protein OspC. The 4 amino-terminal amino acids Pro-Lys-Lys-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 22) are shown to be essential in immune reactivity between sera from patients suffering from early borreliosis and various OspC derivatives and it is shown that in order to be effective as a diagnostic agent, 5 consecutive amino acid residues must be present. Therefore, an immuno-logical agent used according to the invention comprises an at least 5 amino acid residues long homologue of a fragment identical to the 10 C-terminal amino acids of OspC (SEQ ID NO: 1). Also disclosed are vaccines utilising the short peptides as well as methods for their preparation.

Abstract: Accessories for an angle grinder include a disposable rotary sanding disk having quite large shaped ventilating/viewing apertures, for use with a resilient backing plate also having shaped ventilating apertures. The apertures of one or both parts are shaped so that snagging of the apertures on projections from the work surface is minimized and to facilitate air flow across the work surface during use. This air flow helps in cooling the work and ejecting detritus, so minimising clogging effects. The ventilating apertures also facilitate viewing the work to be sanded through the spinning disk during the abrasion process, so that operator feedback is immediate. The holes also give the sanding disk more resilience so that a greater area comes in contact with the work and the disk wears more evenly over its abrasive surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handover method in a mobile communication system in which error correction of a radio signal can be arranged with different protection levels. The method comprises measuring the signal level and/or quality of neighbouring base stations (BTS) at a receiver of a mobile station (MS), comparing the measurement results thus obtained and other variables of the connection with handover criteria, and performing a handover from the source cell to the target cell, when the pre-set handover criteria are met. The method of the invention is characterized by determining at least one error connection possible for the connection in a potential target cell for the handover, determining at least one handover criterion on the basis of the determined error correction of the potential target cell, and setting the error correction of the connection in the target cell (BTS2) as said error correction of the base station of the target cell. The invention further relates to a mobile communication system for performing handover.
