Abstract: A seal member (10) for sealing against a panel (30) movable through and from a slot (32). The seal member (10) has a base (12) for securing the seal member (10) to a support (14), and a pair of outwardly diverging flexible arms (16, 18) having a common edge portion (20) by which the arms (16, 18) are hingedly secured to the base (12) in a normal position. Movement of the panel (30) through and from the slot (32) flexes the arms (16, 18) in unison between first and second positions (Figure 3 and Figure 2) respectively. In the first position (Figure 3) both arms (16, 18) seal and guide the panel (30) relative to the slot (32). In the second position (Figure 2), the slot is closed (32) and the panel (30) prevented from rattling.

Abstract: A syringe for hypodermic biopsy featuring automatic plunger-return is set forth herein. It comprises a cylindrical body (1) furnished with a central cylindrical chamber (9)-the latter surrounded by an annular cavity (8)- inside which a plunger (13) consisting of two coaxial cylindrical bodies (14 and 15) with respective fore-end seals (19 and 20) is caused to slide, and in so doing create a fluid/airtight seal; the inner cylindrical body (15) of said plunger (13) carrying the moving core (6) of a hypodermic needle (7) should this be employed to the end of impeding entry into the latter of foreign bodies. Automatic return of the plunger (13) is produced either by expansion of the air compressed within said annular chamber (8) by outer seal (19) during the plunger's (13) forward stroke, or by introduction from without of pressurized fluid into said annular chamber via an entry hole (22), or alternatively, by fitting a spring (21) to the fore end of said plunger outer cylinder (14), thereby dispensing with the seal (19).

Abstract: Disclosed are novel DNA sequences susceptible to expression in a microorganism in the form of synthesis of one or more enzymes participative in the microbiological oxidative degradation of a selected aromatic hydrocarbon substrate to a selected oxidized compound which is an intermediate in a multiple enzyme-catalyzed degradative pathway for total mineralization of said substrate. The DNA sequences are characterized by being substantially free from operative association with DNA sequences susceptible to expression in the form of synthesis of one or more enzymes participative in oxidative degradation of said selected intermediate compound. Illustrative of the invention is a plasmidborne DNA sequence of Pseudomonas putida origin which codes for expression, in a host microorganism such as E coli, of enzymes participative in the oxidative degradation of naphthalene to salicylate. Cultured growth of stably transformed host cells in a medium including a naphthalene substrate results in quantitative naphthalene degradation and accumulation of isolatable quantities of, e.g., salicylate products.

Abstract: A method of air-fuel ratio control for automotive internal combustion engine is disclosed, in which the amount of fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine is determined in accordance with the amount of air passing through a main air intake path (16), and the amount of air in a bypass (32) is controlled in a manner to attain a predetermined air-fuel ratio for a lean mixture gas which in turn is determined by a predetermined operating mode (81 to 82) of the automobile. The amount of supplied fuel which changes with the amount of air in the bypass is thus corrected to perform the lean mixture gas operation in the predetermined operating mode.

Abstract: In the initial stages of a fermentation of carbohydrate to form alcohol, the growth of the yeast is controlled by monitoring the pH value of a fermenting liquid or wort and controlling the supply of oxygen to the fermenting liquid or wort in accordance with the pH value. Preferably the temperature of the fermenting liquid is also controlled in dependence upon the pH value of the fermenting liquid or wort. It is particularly preferred that the control of the fermentation process is carried out automatically by an apparatus including a fermentation vessel 1, a pH sensorS, 9, 10 arranged to provide an output signal representative of the pH of the liquid in the vessel 1, memory means to store information on the required pH with regard to the fermentation time, means 11, 12, 13 to inject oxygen into the fermenting liquid and control means 15 to compare the output signal of the pH sensor at a particular time with that of the required pH at that time, and, in the event of the pH of the fermenting liquid lagging behind that required, actuate the means 11, 12, 13 to inject oxygen into the fermenting liquid to increase the oxygen content of the fermenting liquid.

Abstract: The problem of rising sludge in biological wastewater treatment secondary clarifiers is overcome by minimizing entrainment of nitrogen gas with mixed liquor entering the transfer pipe to the clarifier such that the level of dissolved nitrogen in the biomass settling in the clarifier remains less than that in equilibrium with nitrogen gas at the pressure prevailing in the biomass. This invention is most efficacious in cases where soluble oxides of nitrogen are present and are reduced by the biomass to elemental nitrogen. In accordance with one described embodiment the excess nitrogen is removed by degassing of the mixed liquor in the effluent pit of the system by deepening and widening the usual pit in such manner that the rate of descent of mixed liquor therein to a discharge outlet is less than 0.4 feet per second and the depth is greater than 4 feet, thus permitting the gas-containing macrobubbles to rise to the surface of the pit where these are degassed. The mixed liquor thus freed of macrobubbles is then passed through a hydraulic pressure zone enroute to the clarifier in which pressure zone the nuclei microbubbles are caused to dissolve.

Abstract: An interferometer type DF system uses an array of five antennas (A, B, C, D, E) arranged at the apices of a regular pentagon to define five wide aperture along the sides of the pentagon and a further five apertures along the diagonals. The phases of the signals received by each antenna, are measured modulo 2π and processed to give a unique bearing of the radio source to the accuracy of the widest aperture defined by the array. One method of processing the phases is to calculate from them the Fourier coefficients of the Fourier series representing the spatial phase distribution. By comparing the difference between each calculated coefficient and a corresponding order coefficient of a set of imaginery antenna phases expressed as integral multiples of 2π, the complete 2π phase differences between the measured phases modulo 2π can be found. The bearing angle of the received signal is then the phase of the vector resulting from subtracting the first order Fourier coefficient of the integral phases from the calculated first order coefficient.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for forming patterns of thick film circuit or the like to be used when forming elements such as conductors and resistors on a thick film circuit board. The pattern forming apparatus comprises a writing head for storing paste to form patterns, and the writing head lowers and approaches to an arbitrary point on the board of thick film circuit and, keeping the same state, moves horizontally to other arbitrary point along the surface of the board, and then ascends to be seperated from the board. The paste in the writing head is pressurized to be forced out of the head before the writing head begins to move horizontally, and the paste is immediately applied on the board when the writing head begins to move horizontally. This pressurization of the paste is stopped before the writing head finishes its horizontal movement, so that the extrusion of the paste may be stopped the moment the writing head finishes the horizontal movement. As a result, blurring or blotting at the beginning and ending part of the pattern writing may be prevented, so that patterns may be formed at high speed and high precision.
