Abstract: An apparatus, such as laboratory reaction apparatus, comprises a multiple array of reaction vessels 40 (indicates a single such vessel), each of which has a flange 42 at or adjacent, and seal 43 associated with, an opening or a rim defining an opening of each vessel. The multiple vessel array is supported by a support member 30, relative to which is moveable, a closure member 20, which can be urged towards the rim of each reaction vessel 40, generally simultaneously to effect a fluid tight union between the reaction vessels 40 and the closure member 20. The apparatus may feature a plurality of such arrays and supporting features, shown in their closed configurations 2,3,4. Additional supporting features may include a temperature control block 50 with a hole 51 for each reaction vessel 40 and a gas manifold 26 and actuator 28 associated with the closure member 20. Several variations in the configuration of the flange 42 and seal 43 are disclosed across figures 2b-2h, which may additionally include a septum (23, fig.2g) enabling sampling / dosing of a reaction, or a safety bursting disc (24, fig.2h) mounted in a recess (25, fig.2h) of the closure member 20. The invention extends to physical and chemical processes carried out using the aforementioned apparatus comprising such steps as orbital shaking, stirring with rods, use of ultrasound, and heating or cooling.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of 2(S)-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters by enzymatic hydrolysis, comprising the steps: a) enzymatic hydrolysis of racemic 2-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters in aqueous and alkaline medium in the presence of an esterase; b) isolation of 2(S)alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters by extraction with an organic solvent; c) isolation of 2(R)-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic acids from the aqueous-alkaline medium; d) Esterification of 2(R)-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic acids, e) subsequent racemization to form 2-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters; and f) return of the racemate obtained in step e) to step a), if necessary together with fresh racemic 2-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters. The process permits the undesired R-stereoisomers to be converted into the desired 2(S)-alkyl-5-halogenpent-4-ene carboxylic esters to avoid waste product from the synthesis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door hinge comprising an integrated continuously variable braking and retaining unit, especially a motor vehicle door hinge of the type where the hinge pin hinging the two hinge halves together consists of a full material and is mounted in tho gudgeon of the other hinge half with a non-rotating fit. The hinge further cooperates in sections with at least one of the gudgeons of the other hinge half in which it is that radially project from the hinge axis and that are alternately formed on the hinge pin and in the gudgeon so as to generate a force braking the hinge. The aim of the invention is to reduce the time required for manufacturing such a hinge as it is unacceptable for series production. To this end, a bore (18) that is concentric relative to the hinge axis (24) is lined with a bushing (19) in at least one of the gudgeons (10) of the other hinge half (2) in which the hinge pin (3) is mounted with a running fit. In said bushing, a projection (26) that is radial with respect to the hinge axis (24) is provided across a height that is smaller than the gudgeon height and a corresponding longitudinal section of the hinge pin (3) is provided with a complementary radial projection (23).

Abstract: A system and method for providing multi-modal messaging for a wireless communication system. A wireless terminal is connected to a wireless access network, wherein the wireless terminal is capable of generating a voice request. A multi-modal message server is connected to the wireless access network for receiving the voice request generated by a user of the remote terminal. A voice-recognition application is operable to identify words contained in the voice request. A response-generation application uses the identified words to generate a response to the voice request. A unified messaging application is operable to interpret the response and generate a first and second response that is based on the contents of the response generated by the response-generation application. The first and second responses are then transmitted to the wireless terminal in different communication formats.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un appât cellulosique qui est hermétiquement scellé avec un matériau non biodégradable à travers lequel des termites peuvent creuser ou mâcher. Les enveloppes de l'invention sont réalisées, de préférence, en un matériau souple/flexible. Grâce à son scellement hermétique dans une enceinte résistante aux intempéries, l'appât peut subsister dans son milieu pour de longues périodes jusqu'à sa consommation par les termites. Non seulement l'appât, mais également l'environnement est protégé contre la substance toxique étant donné que la substance toxique est entièrement séquestrée jusqu'à sa découverte par les termites en quête de nourriture. Ce nouveau système d'appât ne nécessite aucun suivi. De tels appâts peuvent être disposés en grandes quantités dans des lieux où une surveillance n'est ni pratique ni économique. Les emballages de l'appât de l'invention peuvent être distribués en grande quantité dans des champs agricoles ou dans de vastes régions telles qu'une cité entière pour un contrôle à l'échelle régionale des populations de termites souterraines. L'invention procure également des avantages inattendus associés à l'élimination d'inspection et de remplacement ; la présente invention élimine l'évitement de l'appât par quelques espèces de termites. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation préférés, les appâts hermétiques de l'invention peuvent être utilisés en association avec des logements de postes durables et robustes.
