Abstract: In an apparatus and method for hydroforming a dual wall conduit having a controlled size gap between the walls, a frame (11) has an upper crown (11C) and a lower bed (11D) defining a hydroforming space therebetween, the bed (11D) having a slideway extending from the space to a load-unload-preform position out of the space. A mold assembly on the slideway has a lower platen (17) and an upper platen (19) defining at least two hydroforming cavities (14,16), one cavity being an elongated preform and semi-finish cavity (14), and the other cavity being an elongated finish cavity (16). A mold shifting means (15) is positioned for shifting the mold assembly on the slideway from the position in the space between the crown (11C) and bed (11D), to and from the forward and load-unload-preform position. Mold closing and preforming hydraulic cylinders (27) are operably connected to the upper mold platen (19) for closing the upper platen (19) onto the lower platen (17) and creating mechanical preforming on dual wall tubular stock in the preform and semi-finish form cavity (14). The upper crown (11C) has a peripherally retained bladder (33) over the mold assembly for applying a closure clamping force on the mold assembly by the bladder (33). A first pair of double acting, tube sealing, hydroforming elements are at the ends of the preform, semi-finish cavity (14), and a second pair of tube sealing hydroforming elements (40) are at the ends of the finish cavity (16).   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A large-surface plain washer (1) has an opening (5) for inserting a fastener. Engagement elements (1) that increase the engagement with a plate and/r web to be fastened are provided at the surface of the washer (1) that faces in the fastening direction. In addition, projecting spacers (17) shaped as tongues (26) that become effective when several washers (1) are stacked are provided at the lower side of the washer (1). The free end of these tongues (26) may be supported on the top side of the plain washer located directly underneath, so that the washers may be stacked without causing the engagement elements (13) of different washers (1) to engage each other. Individual washers (1) may thus be easily separated from a stack of washers (1), either by rotating or by moving the lowermost washer.

Abstract: To provide a method of efficiently separate protective components of Bordetella pertussis. On the basis of differences in adsorbability to calcium phosphate gel formed by adding calcium ions to a Bordetella pertussis culture in the presence of excess phosphate ions, protective components of Bordetella pertussis are separated from the Bordetella pertussis culture. Traditionally, protective components of Bordetella pertussis have been separated using different purification methods for the respective components. According to the present invention, the use of the same means of purification for all subject components makes it possible to purify each component with high efficiency and high recovery rate, an aspect very advantageous for industrial production. It is also possible to efficiently produce an improved purified pertussis component vaccine comprising an effective combination of pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN, 69K-OMP), pertussis fimbriae (FIM) and pertussis toxin (PT).

Abstract: In the present invention, a partly duplexed conversion table is used as a conversion table for converting an M-bit based data string directly into an N-bit based code string without using margin bits. This conversion table is constituted by first and second sub-tables including plural code groups, respectively. The plural code groups include different codes for the same input data. The second sub-table is a table which is partly duplexed with the first sub-table and is produced by allocating different codes to data from first input data to second input data in the first sub-table. The first and second sub-tables are so designed that code sets of the duplexed portions take variants of digital sum variations which are opposite in sign. Codes are allocated to all the code groups in the duplexed portions of the first and second sub-tables with respect to input data sequentially from a code having a maximum absolute value of variant of the digital sum variation. Thus, according to the present invention, low frequency components of modulated signals may be restricted properly.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for mounting a chamber door between open and closed positions relative to the opening of a sterilizer or autoclave chamber. The apparatus is adapted to be used in either motorized or non-motorized embodiments. The weight of the chamber door is offset by a counterweight and suspended using a cable and pulley system. In the non-motorized embodiment, the door/counterweight system is held in place by a securement, which, when disengaged, permits free motion of the door. In the motorized embodiment, a second cable and pulley system is used to connect the door and counterweight. The cable from this second system is looped around a sheave which is adapted to provide a predetermined frictional force. The sheave is then connected to and rotated by a motor, and upon activation of the motor, the rotating sheave displaces the cable, which respectively raises or lowers the door and counterweight. In the event that the door is obstructed during operation or forced open, the cable will slip harmlessly along the sheave, and will neither injure the operator nor induce damaging torques in the motor.

Abstract: The oscillator (VCO) itself is integrated on the same chip (Ch) with a similar oscillator (O) which has no external controlling voltage and in principle oscillates at a frequency dependent on the temp. of the chip and its mfg. parameters. A stabilising additional control signal is derived from this frequency by a chain of circuits comprising a monostable (MF), a low-pass filter (F) and an amplifier (V). The reference output pulse is lengthened to about one-quarter of the period at average temp., and the amplified DC component provides a countermeasure against frequency fluctuation of the VCO.

Abstract: A process to add reducing bleach substance (B) to highly consolidated paper pulp (S1, S2, S3) uses a dispersion machine with a processing region (3) for both pulp compression and mixing the bleaching substance with the pulp where the material is added at several points in the processing region. Preferably the temperature of the highly consolidated pulp is at or above 80 degrees C, the specific work applied to the pulp in the machine is at least 30 KWh per tonne and the pulp is compressed in the processing region to such a degree that free air content is less than 1% by weight of the moist pulp. Pulp compression is not continuous, the processing region being divided into an initial adjustable high compression zone and a following zone where the compression is less or zero and into which the bleaching substance is introduced. At the end of the high compression zone are variable open cross-sections through which the highly consolidated pulp passes and in the connecting zone the temperature is at or over 100 degrees C, the pressure at or over 1 bar. Flow at the end of the processing region is altered by an adjustable constriction.

Within these conducting layers (20), quantum-mechanical confinement of free electrons has been made. This provides a storage method of a static memory using a quantum device and a structure therefor. A memory cell according to the present invention has a structure simpler than static memories being presently used. Also, an area that this structure is substantially equal to the cell area of a DRAM. Further, since the circuit is complementary, a standby current can greatly be reduced. <IMAGE>

The metal component is intended to be connected to the metallic core (12) of a conductor (13). The core of the conductor is flattened between the two sheets with some of the stranded of the conductor passing through the region of the rivet in order to be trapped by the riveting action. A further section of the metal component is shaped in order to define a number of sockets (19) which are able to receive conductive pegs (21).
