Title: Method and apparatus for adjusting the height and inclination of roadway and greenway appurtenances
Inventor: NADASDE WAYNE JOHN
IPC: E02D29/14
Filed: 2003-10-07
Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the height and inclination of roadway and greenway appurtenances includes a rigid annular spacer ring sized so as to be mountable onto a manhole, and a manhole riser mountable onto the spacer ring. The riser substantially frusto-conically shaped. A rigid annular base flange may be mounted around a base end of the riser. A plurality of threaded bores are formed in spaced array around the base flange.  Rigid elongate threaded members are threadably mountable into the threaded bores so as to be selectively threadably adjustable in the threaded bores and so as to protrude downwardly from the base flange into engagement, beneath the riser, with a top surface of the spacer ring when the riser is mounted on the spacer ring. The threaded members are threadably adjustable in the threaded bores to elevate or to tilt the riser relative to the spacer ring.

Title: Method for producing a layer of functional molecules
Inventor: SARA MARGIT
IPC: C12N11/02
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A layer of cell surface layer proteins (S layer proteins) (SU, SM, SL) as carrier of functional molecules is produced on a carrier surface (CP) by bringing into contact an S layer protein in the form of a solution containin g monomers (SU) or oligomers (SM) with the carrier surface. In order to deposi t the S layer proteins, electrochemical conditions in the solution are adjuste d, whereby the S layer proteins (SU) have a net electrical charge, wherein an electrochemical potential difference between the solution and the carrier surface is produced by regulating the electric potential of the carrier surface (CP) under the effect of which the S layer protein from the solution accumulates on the carrier surface. A two-dimensional crystalline structure (SL) is then configured in the layer thus formed, wherein this can take plac e at a time different from that of the deposition of the S layer protein and under different electrochemical conditions of the solution and/or substrate.

Abstract: The invention provides a failure diagnosing apparatus having a first sensor for detecting a temperature of cooling water of an engine mounted on a vehicle and a second sensor for detecting a temperature associated with the engine. The apparatus calculates a first difference between a temperature detected by the first sensor at the time when the engine stops in a previous operating cycle and a temperature detected by the first sensor at the time when the engine starts in a current operating cycle is calculated.      The apparatus also calculates a second difference between a temperature detected by the second sensor at the time when the engine stops in the previous operating cycle and a temperature detected by the second sensor at the time when the engine starts in the current operating cycle. It is determined whether the first sensor is faulty based on the first difference and the second difference.
