Abstract: The present invention provides a colorimetric method that can perform a simple and reliable analysis in a short time. An aqueous solution including a bipyridyl copper complex and glucose dehydrogenase is prepared. A filter paper is impregnated with the aqueous solution and dried. When a sample such as blood is applied to the filter paper, the bipyridyl copper complex produces reddish brown color in accordance with the glucose concentration, and the color produced in the complex is measured. This reaction is a single reaction and thus occurs in a short time (e.g., 5 seconds or less). Since this reaction requires neither hydrogen peroxide nor oxygen, the measured values are highly reliable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is based on the idea to maintain two counters for an input or output port of a FIFO. A device for writing data elements from a coprocessor into a FIFO memory is provided. Said device is embedded in a multiprocessing environment comprising at least one coprocessor, a FIFO memory and a controller. Said device comprises a first counter for counting the available room in said FIFO memory, and a second counter for counting the number of data elements written into said FIFO memory. Said device further comprises a control means for checking said first counter for available room in said FIFO memory, and for checking said second counter whethera predetermined number N of data elements have been written into said FIFO memory. Said control means decrements the count of said first counter and increments the count of said second counter, after a data element has been written into said FIFO memory. Said device finally comprises an output means for outputting data elements to said FIFO memory. Said control means issues a first message when the count of said second counter has reached said predetermined number N and issues a first call for available room in said FIFO memory to said controller. Said output means forwards said first message and/or said first call to said controller.

Abstract: The present invention describes an improved pasteurisation protocol for pasteurising microbial cells is disclosed. The protocol has three stages, a first heating stage, a second plateau stage at which the cells are held at a (maximum and) constant temperature, and a third cooling stage. Both the heating and the cooling stages are rapid, with the temperature of the cells passing through 40 to 70°C in no more than 30 minutes in the heating stage. The heating rate is at least 0.5°C/minute and during cooling is at least -0.5°C/minute. The plateau maximum temperature is from 70 to 85°C. By plotting the pasteurisation protocol on a time (t, minutes) versus temperature (T, °C) graph, one obtains a trapezium having an area less than 13,000°C.minute. Not only does this result in a smaller energy input (and so a reduction in costs), but a better quality (and less oxidised) oil results having a peroxide value (POV) of less than 1.5 and an anisidine value (AnV) of less than 1.0.

Abstract: Each bidirectional sensor (BT1-BT5) that receives a message sent by a unidirectional sensor (UT1-UT2) waits for an individually-assigned time slot in order to forward it to a central control station (Z). During this time, each sensor checks that another sensor has not already forwarded the message and, if so, suppresses its own forwarding operation. All bi-directional sensors wait for the central station to acknowledge receipt of the message, otherwise, the sensors wait to forward the message. The alarm system operates with a central station (Z) and a number of bi-directional and unidirectional substations (BT, UT) connected by a radio network. The central station and the bidirectional substations can transmit and receive, while the unidirectional substations can only transmit. Unidirectional substations outside the radio receiving range of the central station try to convey messages via one of the bidirectional substations, using the following procedure : (1) the message sent by a unidirectional station is received from all bi-directional participants within radio range; (2) each bidirectional station receiving the message waits for its individually-assigned waiting period to relay the message to the central station; (3) during the waiting period, each bidirectional substation is switched to receive mode, and if a confirmation signal is broadcast from the central station forwarding of the original message from the unidirectional substation is suppressed.
