Patent EP-0081567-A4 (EP)
Title: Off-peak electric heat storage system having extended heat withdrawal.
Inventor: MCKENNEY JAMES LEE
IPC: F24D11/00
Filed: 1982-06-01
Abstract: An energy storage system for using electrical energy during "off-peak" periods thereby "equalizing" electric generating capacity and improving the efficiency of an electrical utility system employs a heat storage fluid, either liquid or gas, stored in a single elongated master tank (6) and at least one elongated slave tank (7). The master and slave tanks (6, 7) are vertically disposed and are each provided with an electric immersion heater (60, 61) controlled by a temperature controller (52, 52a) and energized during "off-peak" periods by conventional controls to heat the storage fluid to a high temperature. Bottom outlets on the tanks (6, 7) are connected in parallel to the inlet of a variable output pump (25) which circulates the heat storage fluid through the central conduit (22) of a concentric tube heat exchanger (20), disposed coaxially about the lower extremity of master tank (6), and back to the tanks (6, 7) through a tank sidewall inlet. An aquastat (59) responsive to the temperature of heating system water flowing through annular flow space (23) of heat exchanger (20) controls theoutput of pump (25) in accordance with heating system demand. Each tank (6, 7) is provided with a vertical standpipe (53, 54) having an open top (50, 51), a bottom connected to the tank outlet and a small lower orifice (41, 42) located below the tank inlet. The standpipe (53, 54) apportions flow of heat storage fluid between the upper and lower portions of the tank in accordance with pump output and establishes an ascending thermocline in the tank between the heat storage fluid returned through the tank inlet and the higher temperature heat storage fluid remaining in the tank to minimize mixing and temperature dilution therein so that heat can be supplied to the system water at temperatures consistently higher than would be available with the prior art horizontal tank configurations. The disclosed heater reduces piping and weight, eliminates necessity of a thermal mixing valve and minimizes "flashing" of the heated system water.

Patent EP-0258388-A4 (EP)
Title: Immunoliposome assay - methods and products.
Inventor: HUANG LEAF
IPC: G01N33/554
Filed: 1987-01-23
Abstract: A new membrane lytic immunoassay. In one embodiment of this assay, namely a solution phase system, an antibody is first covalently coupled to a lipid which is to serve as an anchor for insertion into the liposome membrane. This antibody-anchor complex is used in conjunction with an otherwise non-bilayer forming lipid or mixture of lipids to form stable bilayer liposome vesicles which additionally contain a self-quenching fluorescent dye. When this antibody and dye containing liposome is brought into contact with a solution containing antigen molecules, rapid binding occurs between the antibody-anchor complex and the antigen, disrupting the liposome and releasing the dye. Release of the dye can be quantified by spectrophotometric or spectrofluorometric methods using standardized solutions.

Patent EP-0641283-A4 (EP)
Title: Desk-top envelope maker.
Inventor: DAVIDOV GIL
IPC: B31B19/74
Filed: 1993-03-16
Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus and method for making an envelope from ordinary size, readily available, writing paper. Preferably, the apparatus is a compact desk-top size machine that can be combined with any common office printer, such as a laser printer, or even be incorporated thereinto to form a single machine. The apparatus enables the provision of a system for integrating and simplifying office computerized printing of letters and addressing of envelopes, by using a single paper tray whereby, for example, following the printing of a letter on one or more sheets of paper, the subsequently fed final sheet of paper from the paper tray is routed to the envelope making apparatus, perhaps after the printing of an address on the final sheet, whereby an envelope is created. The envelope is created by the apparatus by appropriate scoring or creasing of fold lines, as well as cutting the sides of the sheet of paper to form side flaps, for example, and the application of a suitable adhesive for sealing the bottom flap to the side flaps, for example, as well as the application of an adhesive on the sealing flap for subsequent sealing by the user, for example, following the insertion of the typed letter, for example, into the thus created envelope. Thus, by means of the apparatus, a method is devised for integrating the letter and envelope addressing and graphics, such as a logo to be impressed or printed on the envelope, with the same computer program at the same time and with the same printing means. Thus there is a significant economic saving in producing envelopes oneself from relatively inexpensive writing paper. With the apparatus according to the invention, it is also possible to make mailers from ordinary sheets of paper already carrying a message, thus saving the cost and bother of using and handling both a letter and an envelope.

Abstract: A master/slave communication and control system includes a master controller and a plurality of slave subsystems, the master controller connected with the slave subsystems through first and second independent serial data buses, one of the data buses providing a working data bus, the other data bus providing a standby data bus. The master controller generates a A/B select signal applied to each of the slave subsystems to select which of the A or B data buses the slave .subsystems will use to communicate with the master controller. Each of those slave subsystems generates an independent request for communication signal, carried on an input request line to the master controller. A plurality of kill signals are generated by the master controller and applied over independent kill lines to each of the slave subsystems, whereby the master controller may send the kill signal to any one of the slave subsystems. Each of the slave subsystems can receive its respective kill signal and disconnect itself from the data buses.
