Abstract: A computerised device comprises an man-machine input interface (4), a controller (6) and a display (10), the controller (6) being arranged to control the display (10) according to a control value measured on the man-machine input interface (4) at a first measuring frequency.

Abstract: The present invention falls within the fields of nutrition and pharmacy, being related to an orally disintegrating tablet comprising the lactase enzyme in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, and to a process for preparing same. The tablet of the present invention, as a result of disintegrating in a reduced amount of time, can be orally administered, making it easier to swallow and dispensing with the simultaneous consumption of liquid, and can also be mixed with lactose-rich foods, inducing enzyme activity outside of the organism.

Abstract: There is provided a method for treating silage which includes adding to the silage a silage inoculant including a silage preserving effective amount of Lactobacillus hilgardii. The silage inoculant being effective to prevent or reduce aerobic spoilage.

Abstract: The present invention describes the process of producing biopolymeric membranes and the membranes obtained by this process. Particularly, the biopolymeric membranes of the present invention comprise poly(urethane-caprolactone) and can be used for nerve and bone regeneration.

Abstract: This invention provides methods and compositions for control of nematicidal damage to economically important plants by contacting the nematodes with cysteine proteinases. The cysteine proteinases may be provided as crude plant extracts or as refined enzyme extracts. In addition, the cysteine proteinases may be provided by the plants expressing these enzymes. Furthermore, the cysteine proteinase treatment according to this invention may be utilized to potentiate the anti-nematode effects of a non-enzymatic nematicide.

Abstract: A new eye hook has a groove in the muscle engaging surface to house a muscle clip. Passage of the muscle clip under a muscle in a single step is made possible. The muscle clip has a smooth upper surface on the lower jaw to minimize friction with the muscle.

Abstract: An articulating joint is provided for use in a foldable frame for a stretcher for example, which is capable of being selectively locked against upward, downward, or lateral folding by rotating the joint relative to the folding frame member.

Abstract: This invention is an advancement in the safe and practical methods of transporting sick or injured patients. The Manhandler is a flexible stretcher constructed of pliable materials. The injured patient is firmly secured to the cot portion of the system by a flexible wrap of sturdy material that extends along each side of the patient's entire body and is secured across his body by a series of strong straps. The litter and the wrap are attached to two parallel flexible strips of material which form lifting grips. These side grips provide support when lifted from the side. A solid sheet of plastic material provides rigidity to the cot portion of the stretcher when side lift is applied, yet remains flexible to allow elevation of the feet and head when such lift is released. The supporting material is radio-opaque to allow x-rays without the necessity of removing the patient from the litter.

Abstract: A solid state remote monitoring transmitter which transmits a 40 bit word that contains status information about a transformer via the secondary of a power distribution network to a central receiver associated with the primary (feeder) cable supplying the transformer. A program card specifies the carrier signal frequency and the identification of the transmitter. Multiple analog inputs are switched through a multiplexer to an A/D converter, the output of which is stored in a shift register to form the 40-bit word. The work is DPSK - coded by clock pulses in sychronism to the 60 Hz zero crossings of the AC power source and amplified by an unregulated power supply which is also powered by the AD power source. The phase transistion of the DPSK - coded word occur at the zero crossings diminishing any transients in the transmitter circuitry which would be caused by the phase transitions.
