A waste collection system for collecting waste during medical/surgical procedures including a mobile container cart with a waste container. A container cart is selectively coupled to a suction cart that includes a vacuum pump. The connection of the carts results in the connection of the vacuum pump to the waste container. The vacuum pump draws a vacuum that results in waste being drawn through a suction line into the waste container. The container cart holds instruments that can be removably attached to the container cart. This facilitates the configuration of the container cart for the specific procedure for which it is necessary to draw a suction.

A method for defining a document format transformation process for documents similar to an example document includes the following steps. An example document is provided in a first format. At least one anchor point is then specified within the example document. The anchor points serve to mark out regions of data within the example document. Positions are then defined for respective regions within a central format. During the transformation process, the data extracted from each region is transferred into the respective position. The method enables transforming documents similar to the example document into the central format.

A microelectronic package is made by a process which includes folding a substrate. Alignment elements on different parts of the substrate engage one another during the folding process to position the parts of the substrate precisely relative to one another. One or more of the alignment elements may be a mass of an overmolding encapsulant covering a chip.

Semi-permeable membranes are described that allow for the efficient processing of many liquid based feed solutions, particularly those that contain acids. The membranes of this invention are able to process such feeds with high permeate rates while maintaining excellent retention of dissolved metals, cations, and organic compounds, even in the presence of hot concentrated acids. The semi-permeable membranes of this invention are able to conduct such separations for a useful period of time due to their chemical stability towards acids and their ability to permeate acids.

A differential cross-coupled power combiner in one aspect comprises a plurality of inputs, an output, a plurality of differential transmission lines each coupled between a corresponding one of the inputs and the output, and at least one set of additional differential transmission lines arranged in series between any two of the inputs. First and second ones of the additional differential transmission lines in the set are coupled to one another using a cross-coupling arrangement. Other aspects of the invention provide a differential cross-coupled power divider, communication system receivers and transmitters incorporating respective power combiners and dividers, and integrated circuit implementations of power combiners and dividers.

A network communication system sends identical information from a source node to a plurality of destination nodes by first sending the information from the source node to a predetermined relay node, then sending the information from the relay node to the destination nodes over predetermined communication paths. The predetermined communication paths connect the destination nodes to the relay node in a star topology. The star topology greatly simplifies the routing of the information, while automatically avoiding looped paths, and enables the identical information to arrive at all destination nodes in real time, substantially simultaneously.

Silane-modified polyvinyl alcohols are obtained by treating vinyl alcohol polymers with one or more ethylenically unsaturated, silane-containing monomers at elevated temperature.

A multi-chip module (MCM) for power supply circuitry integrates a controller, a driver and two power MOSFETs in a single chip to shorten the signal path between the controller and the driver. When applied to a voltage regulator, the MCM shortens the feedback paths between the current sensors and the controller, so as to reduce the loss of and interference with the feedback signals, thereby improving the efficiency of the voltage regulator and simplifying the PCB traces routing.

The invention relates to a system with wide geographical coverage for monitoring positions in real time, comprising position monitoring terminals, a communication satellite and a position monitoring central station, wherein the position monitoring terminals comprise a GNSS (global navigation satellite system) positioning module, a satellite communication module, a control module and a power supply module respectively; the communication satellite is a synchronous orbit communication satellite; the position monitoring central station comprises a heavy caliber parabolic antenna, a satellite communication receiver and a data processing computer; and the position monitoring terminals are used for passing positioning information acquired by the positioning modules back to the monitoring central station by a satellite link, so that the central station can monitor the positions of the position monitoring terminals in real time. In the monitoring system, bandwidth resources of one satellite transponder are utilized, and an FDMA (frequency division multiple access) way, a CDMA (code division multiple access) way and a TDMA (time division multiple access) way are adopted to monitor the positions of the multiple position monitoring terminals in real time. The system is applied to regions with satellite signal coverage only without ground communication network coverage particularly. The system has the characteristics of instantaneity, multiple users and wide geographical coverage.

A method for producing a foaming agent is provided, the method comprising cultivating a host cell in a fermentation medium wherein the host cell extra-cellularly secretes a foaming agent and wherein the fermentation medium contains an antifoam which has a cloud point; and then removing the antifoam5 while the temperature of the fermentation medium is above the cloud point.

The invention relates to a method and system to arrange multicasting in a communication system that comprises a first source (S) and receiver (R) connected to the source (S) by the SSM protocol (Source Specific Multicasting). In the method according to the invention, the first source (S) sends a message on the activity of the source to the receiver (R). The invention enables discovering several sources on the SSM channel by using the Source Active message according to the MSDP protocol (Multicasting Source Discovery Protocol).
