Abstract: A method is provided for modifying cells retained in a high gradient magnetic cell separation column (HGMS). Selected cells within a heterogeneous mixture are labeled with a label comprising a magnetic particle and specific for the selected cells. The labeled, selected cells are applied to the magnetic cell separation column, which retains the selected cells. The selected cells are then modified while retained in the column and then removed to the original suspension or to a purified, homogenous suspension.

Abstract: A heat exchanger baffle and method by which the internal passage of a heat exchanger member is divided into two separate flow regions. The baffle includes first and second members having planar portions that define edges of the first and second members. The planar portions are connected to each other so as to form a connection region between the first and second members. The connection region is deformable to enable the planar portions to be folded onto each other. The baffle can then be installed in a heat exchanger member by installing the planar portions together into a slot in the wall of the heat exchanger member. After installation, the planar members remain substantially parallel to each other, and the connection region preferably contacts a portion of the wall opposite the slot. The manner in which the baffle is folded serves to bias the first and second members against the slot, so that the baffle is more reliably retained within the slot prior to being permanently secured by such methods as brazing. Each member of the baffle also preferably has a flange and a raised region within its planar portion. When the baffle is installed in the heat exchanger member, a portion of the wall is engaged by and between the raised region and the flange of each member, so that the baffle is securely retained within the slot prior to being permanently secured by brazing.

Abstract: To form an additional layer of knitting, appropriate stitches (7) hanging on the knitting needles (3), are taken over from them, by allocated transfer components (5). Either the transfer component assembly, with the hanging stitches, or the associated needle bed, is displaced by about one half of a needle division (Tlg). Each transfer component is then located with clearance from them, in gaps between the needles. Needles freed of stitches, take over stitches from the opposite needle bed, forming stitches for another plane of knitting. After completion of knitting for the other knitting plane, the stitches are again hung back onto the opposite needle bed. The transfer component assembly or associated needle bed, is reset through half a needle division, bringing the transfer components back again over the needles of their associated needle bed. Stitches held by the transfer components are again taken over by the needles of the needle bed and further stitches are formed for the original knitting plane. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding knitted fabric product in the form of rounded tubular ribbing. Preferred features: To transfer stitches hanging on needles required to form the further layer of knitting, onto the transfer components (5), these stitches are placed by outward displacement- and/or retraction movements onto the needle latches, or slides in the case of compound needles. The transfer components are introduced into the stitches, withdrawing the needles, leaving the stitches hanging only on the transfer components. By needle advance and retraction, the stitches are placed on the closed or opened needle latches. When using compound needles, the stitches are placed over the closed slides, following an open advance and closed retraction of the compound needles. Knits produced, include rounded tubular ribbing, optionally with Jacquard pattern and/or knitted-in pockets. Plain knitting and a lapel are produced, the lapel being formed as a parallel section of knitting on the plain knitting.

Abstract: To bind the start and/or end of a knitting yarn at a knitted fabric (10), at a knitter, the leading (15,21,25) or trailing (20,26) ends of the yarn are floated over a number of needles. It is then laid as a yarn loop in certain needles, before knitting is resumed in the opposite direction, using the needles carrying the yarn loop in the same needle bed and the needles in the yarn float zone. To bind the ends of the knitting yarn in the knitted fabric, the leading or trailing end formed into a loop is laid into the final needles of the first yarn float zone, to be knitted into stitches. A number of stitches are knitted before the trailing end of the yarn is reversed to float over a number of needles. The leading and trailing ends of the yarn are bonded into the material at the fabric edges.

in response to a signal from the means for measuring the height
of the organic waste layer, and a controller for controlling the
feed rate of steam or nitrogen gas from the nozzle in response
to a signal from the means for measuring the internal temperature
of the furnace. The furnace may comprise two internal sections:
an A-compartment where the raw material is fed and volatiles
present therein are predominantly pyrolyzed and gasified, and
a B-compartment where the residue consisting largely of fixed
carbon which remains after most of the volatiles have been
pyrolyzed and gasified is introduced and burned or gasified.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for forming a wire lead of a ceramic metal halide lamp.
At least two wire components (N, M) are welded together to form the lead.
Most preferably a three wire component is formed from tungsten, niobium,
and molybdenum wires. A weld junction is formed by supporting first and
second wire components in first and second wire supports (112, 114) that
axially align the wire components along a common axis. A moveable wire
(112) support is moved in a direction of the common axis until facing ends of
the first and second wire components contact each other. While maintaining
a force of engagement between the facing ends of the first and second wire
components, a weld joint is formed to join the first and second wire
components. After inspecting the first such joint, a second joint is formed to
produce the three wire lead. This last joint is most preferably used to add a
tungsten tip to an already formed niobium-molybdenum wire component (NM).
