Abstract: The embodiments relate to a steam turbine with modular inserts that are removably insertable into an inner case. The modular inserts include a seal carrier modular insert located towards a first end of the steam turbine, for carrier seals located between the inner casing the rotor, that is cylindrically shaped and removably insertable into the inner casing, an inlet spiral insert, adjacent the seal carrier modular insert and removably insertable into the inner casing, for introducing steam into the steam expansion flow path so as to circumferentially distribute steam feed into the steam turbine; and a blade carrier modular insert, adjacent the inlet spiral insert, that is also cylindrically shaped and removably insertable into the inner casing, for retaining stationary blades.

Abstract: A recording method, particularly suitable for use in a digital video-camera, is described according to which a digital signal (10), deriving from the encoding of an audio-video signal is temporarily stored in a buffer (11) and from there recorded in a dual layer DVD (12) in successive recording intervals (22) or packets. The start/stop of a recording interval is normally controlled according to the level (15) of filling of the buffer. The digital signal is partitioned in portions that need to be entirely recorded on one single layer, and this triggers the need for a layer jump independently from the level of filling of the buffer. In order to avoid starting a layer jump with the buffer already partly filled, and therefore having a short non-recording interval (23) when time is mostly needed for calibrations, it is proposed to adjust the resolution in the encoding of the audio-video signal so as to have the buffer close to empty when the layer jump occurs.

Abstract: Isolated nucleic acids encoding allergens of Canis familiaris, Can f I or Can f II, are disclosed. A cDNA encoding a peptide having a Can f I activity and a predicted molecular weight of about 19,200 daltons is also described. A cDNA encoding a peptide having Can f II activity and a predicted molecular weight of about 18,200 daltons is also disclosed. The nucleic acids can be used as probes to detect the presence of Can f I or Can f II nucleic acid in a sample or for the recombinant production of petides having a Can f I or Can f II activity. Peptides having a Can f I or Can f II activity can be used in compositions suitable for pharmaceutical administration or methods of diagnosing sensitivity to dog dander.

Abstract: A recording method, particularly suitable for use in a digital video-camera, is described according to which a digital signal (10), deriving from the encoding of an audio-video signal is temporarily stored in a buffer (11) and from there recorded on a dual layer DVD (12). The need for a layer jump occurs, independently from the current level of filling of the buffer, when a storage space associated to a first layer has been exhausted. In order to be able to store the digital signal in the buffer while the layer jump is accomplished, it is proposed to decrease the resolution in the encoding of the audio-video signal, so as to have the level in the buffer growing relatively slowly when the layer jump occurs.
