Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP94/03783 Sec. 371 Date May 10, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 10, 1996 PCT Filed Nov. 14, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/13860 PCT Pub. Date May 26, 1995A membrane filter comprises a membrane provided with pores with a pore size between 5 nm and 50  mu m. The membrane may easily and reliably be processed with use of silicon micromachining through depositing a relatively thin membrane layer on a support, by use of a suitable vapour deposition or spincoating technique, after which perforations are made in the thin membrane layer, for example by etching with aid of photo-lithography or an imprint technique. Such a membrane is very well applicable for the separation of biological cells. A membrane with a thickness smaller than the diameter of the perforations is in particular suited for the separation of vulnerable cells and may be used as a leucocyte filter or as a blood plasma separator of blood concentrates. A microfiltration membrane according to the invention may very well be applied as a support for the deposition of a separation layer for ultrafiltration, gas separation or catalysis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a composite laminate having a plurality of UD layers, i.e., layers of matrix material reinforced with unidirectionally oriented fibres, and at least one inner metal layer, i.e., a metal layer that does not form an outer surface of the laminate, the layers being arranged so as to give a balanced and symmetric laminate. The method comprises passing through a laminating zone, preferably a double-belt press, unidirectionally oriented (UD) fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material and consolidating the matrix material. In a first step a non-flowing sandwich laminate of at least three layers is formed, the at least three layers being UD and metal layers, the sandwich laminate being formed by passing UD fibres provided with not yet consolidated matrix material through the laminating zone together with metal foil, and in a second step the non-flowing sandwich laminate is provided on its outer surfaces with UD layers, with additional UD layers optionally being added in subsequent steps.

Abstract: The invention provides pectins as new foam stabilizers for (temporary) foam heads in beverages, in particular in beers, especially beers of the pilsner type. These foam stabilizers are preferably obtained from hops, which is a constituent that is inherent in beer and accordingly offers the advantage, among others, that the foam stabilizers need to have no negative effect on the taste of the beer. Preferably, the pectins are obtained from hop cones or bines. It may be advantageous to partially saponify (de-esterify) the pectins, in connection with the number of charged groups on the pectins. In addition, the invention provides methods for obtaining the pectins and beverages stabilized with the pectins according to the invention.

Date Feb. 22, 1996The invention relates to a ball valve (3) with full opening between two tubes (1, 2) and the manufacturing method thereof. The ends (6, 7) of the tubes are sealed in the valve against the valve ball (5) opening and closing the valve and rotating about its axle (17), the diameters of the flow openings (9, 10) of the valve ball being substantially the same as the diameters of the flow cross sections of the tubes. Around the valve ball and the ends of the tubes there is a sleeve-like casing (8) secured by its ends (15) to the sides of the tubes (1, 2). According to the invention, a protrusion is formed in the ends of both tubes (1, 2), comprising an annular sealing (11), and the casing (8) is formed with a tapered reduction towards its ends so that the valve ball (5) and the ends of the tubes are located in the space (16) defined by the casing (8) of the valve. The valve (3) may be assembled by joining the ends (6, 7) of the tubes and the sealings (11) attached to them to the valve ball and by thereafter pressing the casing (8) against the sides of the tubes and by welding the ends (15) of the casing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods for diagnosing benign prostatic diseases (BPD), such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, or glandular atrophy, in a male human patient without requiring a biopsy. The total prostate specific antigen (PSA) level in the blood or serum of the patient is measured. If the patient has a total PSA level of between about 2.5 ng/ml and 10.0 ng/ml, then the free PSA level in the blood or serum of the patient is measured. The proportion of free PSA to total PSA is calculated. If this proportion is equal to or greater than about 25%, then the patient is diagnosed as having BPD. Optionally, if the patient has a total PSA level of between 10.1 ng/ml and 20.0 ng/ml, then the free PSA level in the blood or serum of the patient can also be measured. The proportion of free PSA to total PSA is calculated. If this proportion is equal to or greater than about 25%, then the patient is diagnosed as having BPD.

Abstract: Cet appareil de reproduction de signaux audio, par exemple un autoradio, comprend un certain nombre de sources (I-I à I-N) de signaux audio, lesquelles sont choisies à l'aide d'un sélecteur (2) et transmises à un circuit (4) assurant une commande automatique de gain, avant d'être appliquées à un amplificateur et à un haut-parleur (7). Ce circuit (4) comprend un analyseur (42) d'amplitude ainsi qu'un filtre (43) passe-bande, aux fins de production d'un signal de sortie (44) commandant le gain de l'amplificateur (41). Cette configuration est telle que le circuit assurant la commande automatique de gain ne provoque un changement de gain que lorsque le signal audio se situe à l'extérieur d'une bande d'amplitude déterminée, et ce pendant une durée minimum donnée. Ainsi, seul des passages longs 'trop forts' ou 'trop bas' provoquent un changement de gain, les transitoires passant à travers cette configuration sans provoquer de changement de gain.
