An RNA ligase derived from bacteriophage TS2126 which infects Thermus scotoductus, nucleic acids comprising nucleotide sequences of open reading frame (ORF) and polypeptides encoded by the nucleic acids, are described.

A toner is provided that exhibits a high long-term image stability even during high-speed printing and that also exhibits an excellent environmental stability. The toner comprises a binder resin, a colorant, and a nonionic surfactant, wherein the nonionic surfactant has an oxyethylene group (EO) and an oxypropylene group (PO) and has a ratio of the number of moles of the oxypropylene group to the number of moles of the oxyethylene group (PO / EO) of at least 0.01 and not more than 5.00; and when A (μg / g) is defined as a nonionic surfactant content on the surface of the toner that can be extracted by methanol from 1 g of the toner and B (m2 / g) is defined as a theoretical specific surface area determined from a toner particle diameter distribution obtained by a precision particle diameter distribution analyzer that operates based on an aperture electrical resistance method, a ratio A / B is at least 100 μg / m2 and not more than 9000 μg / m2.

A printing machine has at least one machine element which can be adjusted by the use of a setting element. An adjustment of the one machine element has an effect on the quality of the printing performed by the printing machine. An optical detection device, which includes a sensor that is oriented toward the surface of a material which is being printed, detects the quality of the printing. A controlling device receives data from the optical sensor and adjusts, together with the setting element, the at least one machine element based on a difference between a quality of the printing which has been specified as a set value and the quality of the printing detected as an actual value by the optical detection device. This adjustment is done to manage the differences between the set value and the actual value. The control is based on the fact that the quality of the printing is detected in its entirety by the optical detection device and the data is evaluated with regard to disturbing influences acting upon the quality of the printing.

Provided is a method for constructing an image database for object recognition, which includes a feature extraction step of extracting local descriptors from object images which are to be stored in an image database, a scalar quantization step of quantizing a numeric value indicating each dimension of each of the local descriptors into a predetermined number of bit digits, and a storing step of organizing each of the local descriptors after the quantization to be able to be searched for in the closest vicinity, giving to the local descriptor an identifier of the image from which the local descriptor has been extracted, and storing the local descriptor to which the identifiers are given in the image database. The storing step comprises extracting the local descriptors from the object images when a search query is given, scalar-quantizing each dimension, determining a local descriptor in the closest vicinity of each of the local descriptors from the image database, and storing each local descriptors so as to be able to identify one image by majority vote processing from the images including any determined local descriptor. The scalar quantization step comprises quantizing each dimension of each of the local descriptors into 8 bits or less. Also provided are a processing program for the method and a processing device for performing the processing.

Many variables in processes such as those using turbocompressors and turbines must be limited or constrained. Limit control loops are provided for the purpose of limiting these variables. By using a combination of closed loop and open loop limit control schemes, excursions into unfavorable operation can be more effectively avoided. Transition between open loop and closed loop may be enhanced by testing the direction and magnitude of the rate at which the limit variable is changing. If the rate of change indicates recovery is imminent, control is passed back to the closed loop limit control function.

A dispenser unit for countermeasures. A magazine for the countermeasures is removably arranged on the dispenser unit. A dispensing nozzle dispenses the countermeasures out of the magazine. A movable seal is arranged within the magazine. The seal in a first position covers the dispensing nozzle and in a second position opens the dispensing nozzle, such that the countermeasures may be dispensed through the dispensing nozzle when the seal is in the second position.

A method for determining the course of the road for a moving motor vehicle having a surroundings sensor system. Sensor data generated by the surroundings sensor system are evaluated to detect lane-relevant features. A lane model having at least one lane model parameter that determines the course of the lane is generated for the road, structures of at least one distance range that are parallel to the road are detected in the sensor data, the tangential direction of at least the one structure that is parallel to the road is determined, and the value of the tangential direction of the structure that is parallel to the road is adopted as the value of the direction of the tangent line at the point of contact with the structure that is parallel to the road to determine at least the one lane model parameter by predictive estimation in the lane model.

A method and apparatus for analyzing one or more elements of targeted moving snack food surfaces uses laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to detect the presence, absence, or amount of an element on a heterogeneous surface, including seasoned and ready-to-eat snack foods. A laser is used to quantify the element concentration without destroying the targeted sample. An automated on-line system may be integrated into the method to create a closed-loop feedback control system, adjusting the concentration as desired.

A process for industrial disposal for electro-waste. The process contains steps for separating material that are contained in such waste, for re-introducing material into a re-using process in order to save resources and to meet ecologic and economic interests.

Disclosed are methods for compensating the varying weight of a glass ribbon the glass ribbon is drawn from a molten glass forming material, and an apparatus therefore. The weight compensating apparatus is configured to apply a force to the glass ribbon that is inversely proportional to the weight of the glass ribbon such that as the glass ribbon weight increases, the force applied to the glass ribbon by the weight compensating device decreases.

There is disclosed a device for purifying oily wastewater, including a vertical tank of an atmospheric pressure, inside which a central coagulation reaction tube, a reverse cone-shaped cyclone flocculation stage, a suspended sludge filtering zone and a purified water commutation stage of inclined plates are included from bottom to top sequentially, oily wastewater is sequentially subjected to a coagulation reaction, suspended sludge filtering and a purified water commutation process and then discharged, a sludge collecting groove collects and guides the suspended sludge to a sludge concentrating zone for further sedimentation and concentration processes and then discharges it to external to the tank, in this way, the purification reaction, flocculation and fine filtration of wastewater and the sludge concentration process are integrated within the same wastewater purifying device. Thus, the device is equivalent to the existing wastewater pretreatment system plus a fine filtration system.
