Abstract: In order to achieve a mild sterilization of floury, powdery, grainy, leaf-like, stalk-like or root-like substances and to achieve a high uniformity in the distribution of the sterilizing medium, according to the invention the product is sterilized on the one hand in layers in an openable and closable autoclave-like vessel (1) and on the other hand sterilized by the following process steps:   - introducing the product into the vessel (1) and closing this vessel, - generating a vacuum in the vessel by means of a vacuum pump (30),    - maintaining the vacuum and introducing a steam stream, - releasing the steam pressure and again generating a vacuum to cool the product.   In addition, during this, according to the invention the product is supported in particular by a woollen or cotton fabric and is covered by an identical fabric. The steam for the sterilization must then, according to the invention, pass through the fabric in order to reach the product with the advantage that any steam condensate produced is absorbed by the fabric and thus prevents condensate from forming unwanted aggregates or lumps together with the product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and methods for processing a stream of video image data so as to create a video representation that multiplexes data corresponding to resolution or bitstream scales. This representation is such that the identity of the basic MacroBlock (MB) structure of the MPEG-1 ISO standard is preserved across all resolution and bitstream scales, e.g., by scaling across four levels of resolution. An MB is associated with a series of attributes which contribute to the amount of overhead data incorporated in an MPEG-1 compressed data stream, so that by preserving the MB identity across multiple resolutions and bitstream scales, these scales can share this overhead, thus requiring it to be included only once in the data stream. Preserving the MB identity also simplifies significantly the derivation of motion estimation vector data for all resolution scales other than the highest resolution. Essentially the motion vector data corresponding to any resolution scale can be derived from the highest resolution motion vector data by appropriately scaling it down.

Abstract: An improved disk-type machine having a plurality of alternating stator and/or rotor sections is disclosed. The stator of the machine has micro-laminated stator teeth molded from cut steel particles, mounted on a large disk of composite fiber material which is the main structural component of each stator section. The stator teeth are preferably molded in place during disk manufacture. The stator is designed to operate in a machine having an even number of axial air gaps, but has only a single winding for each stator. One layer of the winding is located on each side of the central supporting disk and the ends of the windings are connected through connectors molded into or mounted on the disk. Multiturn coils may be employed by making a plurality of these connections for each coil. The interior rotor sections of the machine are likewise constructed on supporting rotor disks of composite material, and have pole pieces molded into place during disk manufacture which are wound on both sides of the supporting disk. The pole pieces have damper slots in their faces for receiving a damper winding. An outer support cylinder at the circumference of the supporting rotor disk structurally supports components of the rotor. Cover pieces are provided at the sides of the rotor sections, facing the stator sections. The structures disclosed produce a practical design with improved efficiency and reactance levels.

Abstract: A prepack well screen assembly has a resistance welded outer screen (42) concentrically mounted in radially spaced relation on a perforated mandrel (38), thereby defining an annulus in which a sintered metal prepack sleeve (44) is loaded. The longitudinal spacing distance between adjacent turns of the outer screen (42) selectively exclude sand fines of a predetermined minimum size. The porosity of the sintered metal prepack sleeve (44) is selected to pass sand fines in the size range of from about 10 microns (µm) to about 150 microns (µm). The effective inlet flow area through the sintered metal prepack sleeve (44) is substantially greater than the effective inlet flow area through the outer screen (42). The sintered metal prepack sleeve excludes sand fines from inflowing formation fluid during the initial production phase following a gravel pack operation, without limiting production of formation fluid.

Abstract: Polygons defined in three-dimensional space are processed in order to facilitate subsequent manipulation. A first polygon is tested against a second polygon to identify a part of one of said polygons which may have a particular relationship. Thereafter, a second test is performed with reference to said polygon part. 
     When producing rendering order lists, trees or directed graphs, a current favourite polygon (for placing on a list, tree or graph) is tested against a candidate polygon to determine whether said candidate polygon may be occluded by the favourite polygon. In performing this test a fragment of the favourite polygon may be identified which may occlude the current favourite and a fragment of the current favourite may be identified, as that which may be occluded by the current favourite. Thereafter, a second test is performed with reference to said favourite fragment and said candidate fragment.

Abstract: Conventionally Ge photodiodes have been employed as photodetectors for the reliability test of the semiconductor lasers of a 1.0 µm and 1.6 µm wavelength, since Ge photodiodes have wide receiving regions with high sensitivity for the range of wavelength. A large dark current flows in a Ge photodiode at a high temperature. Thus, Ge photodiodes must be cooled. Also the sample lasers are heated to accelerate the test. The lasers and the Ge photodiodes require two independent thermostats, and fiber rods are used to connect the Ge photodiodes to the lasers. The present invention uses InGaAs photodiodes (21) as photodetectors. The InGaAs photodiodes (21) and sample lasers (11) can be placed face to face in the same thermostat (1). Several pairs of a laser and a InGaAs photodiode can be aligned in the axial direction in the thermostat. A saving in the packing space per sample increases the number of lasers which can be examined in a test cycle.

Abstract: Yellowing, dye fade and thermal pinking of a processed color photographic element is improved by incorporating into the photographic element a non-color forming, oil-soluble, monomeric or oligomeric organic compound having a glass transition temperature between 0° and 150°C. The tendency of photographically useful compounds (PUCs) to crystallize when dispersed in an aqueous medium is also inhibited by codispersing with the PUC the non-color forming, oil-soluble, monomeric or oligomeric organic compound. Preferred organic compounds are oil-soluble sucrose esters, such as sucrose octaacetate, and rosin and derivatives thereof. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the above-noted properties are improved by incorporating into the photographic element an oil-soluble rosin derivative, such as abietic acid.

Abstract: A small, stylus-based keyboard in which the arrangement of the keys is a function of predetermined estimated probabilities of the occurrence of various possible sequences of keystrokes. Sequences of keystrokes which are estimated to have a high likelihood of occurrence result in the associated keys being placed adjacent to one another. In this manner, the ease, speed and accuracy of use of small, stylus-based keyboards may be improved. Multiple keys representing the same character may be provided to increase the likelihood that keys included in high probability sequences will be adjacent. The probability estimates may be determined based on a statistical analysis of a preselected sample of text. In addition, keys may be color-coded for ease of identification and grooves may be cut into the housing between adjacent keys for ease of stylus operation. Lights ( e.g. , light-emitting-diodes) may also be inserted between adjacent keys or beneath the keys for purposes of word identification or next letter prediction.
