Abstract: Procédé comprenant le réchauffement d'un mélange réactionnel constitué par une solution aqueuse contenant des ions de perchlorate, des ions de chlorate et des ions d'hydrogène, afin de produire du dioxyde de chlore et de l'oxygène gazeux. Le nouveau procédé décrit par l'invention, représente un moyen de production de dioxyde de chlore exploitable commercialement à partir de mélanges d'espèces d'oxy-chlore en l'absence d'un agent réducteur. On peut mettre en application le procédé sans obtenir de produit secondaire de sel acide, tout en produisant un dioxyde de chlore pratiquement exempt de chlore. De plus, le procédé décrit par l'invention permet de réduire la quantité d'acide introduite dans le générateur de dioxyde de chlore.

Abstract: Oligonucleotide primers and methods for identifying strains of bacteria by genomic fingerprinting are described. The methods are applicable to a variety of samples. The testing procedure includes amplifying the bacterial DNA in the sample to be tested by adding a pair of outwardly-directed primers to the sample. The primers are capable of hybridizing to repetitive DNA sequences in the bacterial DNA and extending outwardly from one hybridizable repetitive sequence to another hybridizable repetitive sequence. After amplification the extension products are separated by size and the specific strain of bacteria is determined by measuring the pattern of sized extension products. The procedure to identify strains of bacteria by fingerprinting has a variety of uses including: identifying bacteria in infections, agriculture and horticulture plots, bioremediation, food monitoring, production monitoring and quality assurance and quality control.

Abstract: An apparatus used to assist a surgeon in surgery is divided into two parts, proximal and distal. The apparatus has a number of rigid links (1 - 4) which rotate about pivots (A - L) to position and re-position an instrument (11), like a surgical instrument, at a work point (Cmot) proximal to a patient but remote from the apparatus. The links cooperate in a way to move the manipulator about a center-of-motion (Cmot) with orthogonally decoupled degrees of freedom resolved at the work point. The proximal part (26) of the apparatus is adjustably fixed to a stationary object, like an operating table (22), while the distal part (25) of the apparatus holds the instrument (11). Certain links which can be adjusted in length, move the distal part with respect to the proximal part of the apparatus. In this manner, the work point of the manipulator and the working radius of the apparatus are changed without moving the proximal part. Actuators, manual or remotely (computer) controlled, both rotate the links about their pivots and adjust the length of the adjustable links. All the actuators can be mounted on the proximal part of the apparatus and electrically isolated from the manipulator in order to reduce the shock hazard to the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the new transmission method known as Digital Audio Broadcasting, a frequency range and a multiplicity of carrier frequencies are used for transmission rather than just one carrier frequency, which was previously the norm. This, along with the use of modules with a transmission function which is not constant throughout the entire frequency range used for transmission, creates the problem that frequency-selective interference occurs. Through the calculation of a frequency-dependent complex correction characteristic, the method according to the invention enables the correction of frequency-selective phase and attenuation distortion which is caused by the transmission channel and by receiver modules. Since the transmission signal ideally has a constant amplitude and phase angle over the entire transmission range, time-invariant interference (due to the modules) can be quantified even during production and time-variant interference (due to the transmission channel) can be quantified during a transmission as a deviation from an ideal spectrum. This interference is combined in a complex transmission function and the received signal, which in any case occurs in the spectral range, is multiplied by this inverted transmission function. The new method can be used in all broadband transmissions, and guarantees optimum reception quality. <IMAGE>
