Abstract: The invention relates to new compositions based on a mixed cerium and zirconium oxide (solid solutions) having very high specific surfaces, that is to say at least greater than 80 m<2>/g and preferably of at least 100 m<2>/g or even 150m<2>/g, the said surfaces moreover being thermally stable. The amounts of zirconium in solid solution in the cerium oxide can be very large, for example between 1 and 60 atom %. They are obtained according to a process consisting in heating an aqueous mixture containing, in the required stoichiometric proportions, a soluble cerium compound, such as ceric nitrate, and a soluble zirconium compound, such as zirconyl nitrate, in recovering, especially by filtration, the reaction product thus formed and then finally, optionally, in calcining this product. The compositions according to the invention can be used as catalysts and/or catalyst supports (substrates), in particular in the field of automobile afterburning. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rapid presence-absence method for determining if fecal coliform cells are present in a sample. Portions of the original sample are filtered and retained upon microporous filters which are placed in incubation containers having an actuating medium containing a fluorogenic substrate. The samples are incubated for predetermined durations of from about twenty minutes to six hours. After adjusting the pH is incubation to an alkaline level, the containers are irradiated and the fluorescent light emitted is measured. The measured values are adjusted for background fluorescence and corrected for extraneous sources of fluorescence. It is concluded that fecal cells are present in the original sample (i.e., at least one fecal coliform cell per 100 milliliters) when the corrected fluorescence values are positive and meet certain predetermined criteria.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. The system provides an audio/video (AV) path (13) for carrying AV signal among the workstations, a video mosaic generator (36) for combining images, and an audio summer or mixer (38). At least part of the AV path (13b) is implemented with unshielded twisted pair wiring. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.
