Abstract: The present invention provides a hybrid inflator capable
of adjusting an amount of a pressurized medium and a material
of a gas generating agent to meet the requirements. 
     An outer shell of a first gas generating chamber 130 is
formed by an inflator housing 101 and a second gas generating
chamber housing 146, and an outer shell of a second gas
generating chamber 140 is formed by the second gas generating
chamber housing 146. For this reason, even when the requirement
for downsizing and reducing weight is met, an amount of a gas
generating agent does not have to be reduced.

Inventor: ODA NOBUYUKI
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: The present invention provides an animal model
for prostatic stromal hyperplasia, and a method for
screening for a substance effective for
preventing/treating human benign prostatic hyperplasia
using the animal model. The animal model for prostatic
stromal hyperplasia is produced by implanting the fetal
urogenital sinus of a non-human animal under the skin or
beneath the prostatic capsule of a non-human animal
belonging to the species of the same as or different from
the said animal. A substance effective for
preventing/treating human benign prostatic hyperplasia can
be screened by administering a test substance to the
animal model and measuring the preventive or therapeutic
effect of the test substance upon the implanted tissue
(fetal urogenital sinus or tissue derived therefrom).

Abstract: When a heat treatment device for simultaneously heat-treating
synthetic fiber filament yarns with saturated steam of
heat medium liquid stored in a plurality of closed containers
is installed with other devices together, the total height of
the installation is lowered than a conventional one in order to
reduce the cost of a building for storing these devices. The
closed container for saturated steam of heat medium liquid is
formed longer in horizontal direction, the heating surface of
an outer surface of the closed container is faced downwardly,
and the heating surfaces of the closed containers are provided
at positions higher than the heat medium liquid level in the
boiler so that a boiler for heating the heat medium is not
necessarily installed in each closed container, thereby
manufacturing costs are also reduced.

Abstract: If TDM connections are through-connected from the originating TDM network to the target TDM network via a data network in the form of backbone, e.g. VoIP, the switchover between the TDM network and the data network takes place via media gateways. As is the case with connections exclusively between TDM, the coding algorithms of the A face and the B face have to be identical. In TDM networks, coding is done according to A Law and mu Law. When switching from an A Law network to a mu Law network, the coding specifications have to be converted. In order to carry out a conversion in a TDM environment, at the switchover point the mu Law face has to convert to A Law. The same applies to VoIP. The invention relates to the integration of this switchover conversion rule in the codec negotiation procedure so that in principle a mu Law A face offers mu Law and, alternatively, A-Law to the B face; a mu Law B face accepts mu Law whereas an A-Law B face acknowledges A-Law. Furthermore, 64 kBit/s unrestricted preferred connections are considered in fall back mode, wherefore an additional logic is integrated into the codec modification procedure by means of which in principle mu Law and, as an alternative, A-Law are offered to the B face in addition to the transparent CODEC or instead of offering a mu Law A face to the TMR only. The B face first accepts the transparent CODEC on the basis of the list or the TMR '64 kBit/s unrestricted preferred'. When receiving the TMU, the B face selects the Codec to satisfy the code conversion rule.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the background-corrected counts of radiation quanta of an X-ray energy spectrum relating to a sample of interest. To this end, two or more different measurement windows are defined in the spectrum. In these windows the counts of radiation quanta are measured and a pair consisting of a first and a second measurement window is selected. A background signal for the first measurement window is calculated on the basis of the counts of radiation quanta in the second measurement window while using a relation defined between said pair of measurement windows. Said background signal is subtracted from the counts of radiation quanta in the first measurement window, thus yielding the background-corrected counts of radiation quanta in the first measurement window. A spectrometer with means for carrying out the steps of the method and a computer program for carrying out the steps of the method are also provided.

Filed: 2003-01-21
Abstract: The apparatus for the extraction of volatile matter from biological materials, e.g. vegetable oils from plants, has a holding zone (1) for the material where it is exposed to microwaves so that the residual water content heats and evaporates. The steam breaks down the vegetable cells, and releases oil vapor. The heat generates a convection movement to carry the vapors upward through a connecting channel (4) into a condensation zone (2). A cooling system (3) reduces the vapor temperature, so that droplets of oil and water form on the inner wall of the condensation zone.  The droplets move downward by gravity, into an outflow channel (6) and into a collection vessel (7). An overflow channel (8) carries water condensation back into the connecting channel. The oil accumulates in the vessel, to be removed through a take-off valve (9).

Abstract: A method for ranking services in a web services architecture and a web services architecture are provided. The web services architecture has a hierarchy of services (401, 406, 408, 410) with a root originating service requestor (401) and a service of a first level in the hierarchy calling a service of a lower level. The originating service requestor (401) indicates a preference regarding one or more services and a ranking machine (405) provides a choice algorithm based on the preference. The originating service requestor (401) invokes services of one or more levels of hierarchy. At each level of the hierarchy (401, 406, 408, 410), a service uses a directory (411) to find a set of possible lower-level services and the ranking machine (405) applies the choice algorithm to the set of possible lower-level services. In one embodiment, the set of possible lower-level services is referred to the ranking machine (405) from the directory (411) and a preferred sequence is returned by the ranking machine (405) to the directory (411).

Abstract: The invention relates to detection of endoglycosidase activity and diagnostics of infertility and diseases wherein an altered amount of an endoglycosidase is involved. Two methods for detecting the endoglycosidase activity are disclosed that solve the problem of interference of the additional transglycosidase activity of endoglycosidases in an assay for endoglycosidase activity at high substrate concentrations. The first method involves substrates that cannot be glycosylated due to the absence of a hydroxyl group at the 4 position of the reducing end sugar substrate. The second method involves a further other molecule capable of being glycosylated for competition with the transglycosylation of the substrate. Methods of the synthesis of glycosylated substrates using the transglycosidase activity of endoglycosidases are also claimed.
