Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for detecting picornaviruses in biological tissues. In the methods of the invention, at least a portion of picornavirus nucleic acid present in a test sample of a biological tissue suspected of containing picornavirus is amplified. Picornavirus nucleic acid is then detected by conventional separation techniques or by hybridizing the amplified nucleic acid with at least a portion of a nucleotide probe comprising a nucleotide sequence complementary to the amplified nucleic acid and detecting the probe. The invention also provides nucleotide primers and probes having nucleotide sequences characteristic of picornaviral RNA for use in detecting the viruses.

Abstract: The winding apparatus comprises an elevationally adjustable bearing arrangement for rotatably mounting and driving a winding core. Underneath the bearing arrangement, there is provided a conveyor-belt arrangement which is driven by partially training or wrapping around the winding core or, as the case may be, a product package wound up thereon. The conveyor-belt arrangement conveys printed products, which are to be wound up, to the winding core. Prior to winding up the printed products, a winding band is unwound from the winding core and wound onto a winding-band spool. For this purpose, the winding-band spool is connected by means of a slip friction coupling with respective rolls and thus with the conveyor-belt arrangement. During the winding-up of the winding band in conjunction with the printed products onto the winding core, the winding-band spool is braked. A detaching roller for detaching the free end of the winding band wound-up on the winding core as a winding-band supply is drivably coupled with the winding-band spool by means of an endless belt. The endless belt takes the free end of the winding band from the detaching roller to the winding-band spool.

Abstract: A method for treating a gas stream to remove heat, gaseous, liquid or particulate matter, or add heat, vapor, or moisture, which includes the steps of: providing a tower having a bed with fluidizable hollow ellipsoidal packing with a long semi-axis and a short semi-axis; introducing a liquid stream into the tower at a liquid flow rate L, and countercurrently introducing the gas stream into the tower at a gas flow rate G sufficient to maintain the bed in a fluidized state and a gas velocity v; and adjusting the volume ratio of the liquid flow to gas flow to cause the ellipsoidal packing to circulate predominantly in the vertical direction relative to the long semi-axis and to maintain a pressure gradient  DELTA P/Ho across the depth of the fluidized bed of at least about 1500 Pa/m, and, simultaneously, to satisfy the equation: L/G=K1( DELTA P/Hov)+K2 wherein L/G is the volume ratio of liquid to gas;  DELTA P is the pressure drop across the bed; Ho is the bed height in a state of rest; v is the gas velocity; and K1 and K2 are constants.

Abstract: A method for remvoing hair from the hide of an animal to be slaughtered in order to reduce bacterial contamination of meat and meat by-products. A bovine is first immobilized and a depilatory substance of sodium sulfide is sprayed onto the animal's hide for 1-60 seconds. After a dwell time of about 1-180 seconds, the hair contacted by the depilatory substance is removed by directing pressurized jets of water at the animal's hide. Neutralizing agents are then sprayed onto the animal to stop the depilatory process and the animal is conveyed to an exsanguination station for further processing.

The drain of the n-channel transistor N1 is connected to the constant current source I via a first enable transistor EN1. A second enable transistor EN2 is connected in parallel with the constant current source 1. The gates of the enable transistors EN1, EN2 are connected to an enable input EN of the buffer circuit. When interference with a known time characteristic occurs, the buffer circuit can be deactivated by means of an enable signal 0EN applied to this enable input EN. A MOS transistor P2 which is connected to a second supply potential VDD and at the gate of which a reference potential Vref is present with a value which always exhibits a constant difference from a second supply potential VDD can be used as constant current source I.

Abstract: Procedure for the production of a thixotropic magnesium alloy by adding a grain refiner combined with controlled, rapid solidification with subsequent heating to the two-phase area. It is preferable to use a solidification rate of > 1<o>C/s , preferably >10<o>C/s. It is essential that the solidification takes place at such a speed that growth of dendrites is avoided. Heating to the two-phase area is carried out rapidly in 1-30 minutes, preferably 2-5 minutes. By heating an alloy comprising 2-8 weight % Zn, 1.5-5 weight % RE, 0.2-0.8 weight % Zr balanced with magnesium to a temperature in the two-phase area after casting, the structure will assume a form in which the  alpha -phase is globular (RE = rare earth metal). The size of the spheres will be dependent on the temperature and the holding time at that temperature and they will be surrounded by a low-smelting matrix. It is preferable that the alloy has a grain size of < 100 mu m, preferably 50-100  mu m. A grain-refined magnesium alloy comprising 6-12 weight % Al, 0-4 weight % Zn and 0-0.3 weight % Mn also assumes thixotropic properties when heated to the two-phase area. Grain refiners such as Zr or carbon-based agents such as, for example, wax/fluorspar/ carbon powder or calcium cyanamide can be used, depending on the alloy. <IMAGE>
