Title: A method and an apparatus for separating bodies from a liquid
Inventor: HOLMBERG GLENN
IPC: B01D33/03
Filed: 1986-05-20
Granted: 1989-11-30
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for separating bodies from a liquid in which the liquid is passed through a filter and the bodies to be separated are accumulated on the filter. The filter forms an upper bounding limit of a space therebeneath which is alternately subjected to pressure and vacuum relative to the ambient region above the filter. This is achieved according to one embodiment by producing a reciprocal movement of the filter in the form of an oscillating or pendular movement. The pressurization in the space produces separation of the bodies accumulated on the upper surface of the filter to facilitate their discharge from the filter. The separated bodies can be assisted for discharge by mechanical elements and/or by producing wave motion in the liquid.

Title: Mammalian myeloid progenitor cell subsets
Inventor: WEISSMAN IRVING L
IPC: C12Q1/6881
Filed: 2000-06-29
Granted: 2004-07-08
Abstract: A substantially enriched mammalian hematopoietic cell subpopulation is provided, which is characterized by progenitor cell activity for myeloid lineages, but lacking the potential to differentiate into lymphoid lineages. This population is further divided into specific myeloid progenitor subsets, including a common myeloid progenitor cells (CMP), megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitor cells (MEP) and granulocyte/monocyte lineage progenitor (GMP). Methods are provided for the isolation and culture of these subpopulations. The CMP population gives rise to all myeloid lineages, and can give rise to the two additional and isolatable progenitor populations that are exclusively committed to either the erythroid/megakaryocytic or myelomonocytic lineages. The cell enrichment methods employ reagents that specifically recognize CDw127 (IL-7 receptor alpha); CD117 (c-kit) protein, in conjunction with other markers expressed on lineage committed cells. These cells give rise to a variety of myeloid cells, including megakaryocytes, granulocytes, dendritic cells and erythroid cells, as evidenced by their growth and differentiation in vitro and in vivo.

Title: Biotechnological continuous process for hydrolysis of carbohydrates with simultaneous further processing of products resulting from the decomposition of micro-organisms
Inventor: TRAMM-WERNER SABINE
IPC: C12P7/06
Filed: 1986-09-18
Granted: 1990-01-04
Abstract: A process enables production of ethanol, butyl alcohol, acetone, lactic acids and glycerine from substrates normally not fermentable during a single fermentation stage by the simultaneous addition of hydrolysing and immobilizing enzymes and flock-type bacteria in a tower reactor. For this purpose enzyme flocks are produced having similar physical properties to those of bacteria flocks, and they are introduced with the latter in the tower reactor. The reactor comprises a widened end piece and a cylinder inserted in the latter so that the product which overflows out of the cylinder is in a non-turbulent region. The enzymes thus remain in the reaction chamber and the bacteria become richer without the need for filters or membranes.

Title: Communications system and method of administering connections therein
Inventor: OWEN RAY
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2001-05-25
Granted: 2004-04-08
Abstract: A communication system (10, 68) includes a plurality of different, spectrally separated air-interfaces providing different services from co-located base sites (70-76). One of these air-interfaces, which may be CDMA, operates a universal frequency-re-use pattern across multiple cells (80, 88, 90), whereas other air-interfaces, such as GSM, have carrier frequencies that have a cell re-use pattern. A subscriber unit (12-16) within the system (10, 68) monitors an interference environment and path loss of at least some of the various different services to infer propagation conditions that are likely to be experienced within a spread spectrum service supported by the universal frequency re-use pattern. Armed with an assessment of a fade (82-86) condition within the system as a whole, implied by time and path loss from broadcast signals from different services, the subscriber unit can regulate and control its power transmission. Spread spectrum communication to a distant base station can be safe in the knowledge that high power transmissions from the subscriber are subject to deep fade when viewed by near-in base sites. Near-far problems associated with high power transmissions to near-in base sites can therefore be mitigated based on a level of confidence that is found in the fade condition determined by path loss in services ancillary to the spread spectrum service.

Date Feb. 20, 1992.Process for producing dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) consists of reacting a solution of dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) in a volatile organic solvent, with a stream of an ozone-containing carrier gas. N2O5 produced by reaction between the N2O4 and ozone is transferred into the gas stream, and is thereafter condensed out of the gas stream by contact with further inert organic solvent. The latent heat of formation of N2O5 is absorbed by the heat of vaporization of the solvent, so limiting increases in reaction temperature and suppressing the dissociation of the N2O5. In a preferred embodiment the reaction and absorption steps are performed in separate columns having organic solvent recalculating continuously through each with carrier gas flowing continuously from the reaction column to the absorption column.
