Patent EP-1204976-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading a magnetoresistive memory is disclosed wherein the wordline current is turned off during selected sensing operations. This substantially eliminates the noise that is typically injected by the wordline current into the bit structures during the sensing operations, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio on the sense lines. This, in turn, significantly increases the speed of the sensing operations and thus the read access time of the memory. Substantial power savings are also realized.

Abstract: A solid-state laser includes a crystal wafer provided as an active medium, a cooling chamber for accommodating a cooling liquid, and an optically transparent support body. The crystal wafer has a flat side that faces the cooling chamber and a side that is remote from the cooling chamber. The flat side of the crystal wafer is in direct thermal contact with the cooling liquid. The cooling chamber has a wall element that is formed by the crystal wafer. The optically transparent support body is configured on the side of the crystal wafer that is remote from the cooling chamber. Since, the crystal wafer is in direct thermal contact with the cooling liquid, a minimal heat transfer resistance is ensured that even when the crystal wafer becomes deformed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de discrimination contre les fausses manoeuvres dans un système à écran tactile. Le système est conçu pour confirmer une commande tactile enregistrée par un capteur tactile à l'aide d'un autre capteur tactile, de préférence d'un type différent, avant de répondre à la commande tactile (par exemple, envoyer des coordonnées tactiles au système d'exploitation). Si la commande tactile enregistrée par le premier capteur tactile n'est pas confirmée par le second capteur tactile, la commande n'est pas validée. Les points forts d'un type de capteur sont ainsi utilisés pour pallier les faiblesses d'un autre type de capteur. Ce système est particulièrement adapté pour répondre aux besoins d'un application extérieure ou semi-extérieure. Dans un mode de réalisation, un ou plusieurs capteurs de force sont utilisés comme capteur de fausses manoeuvres et un capteur projectif-capacitif est utilisé comme capteur de détermination des coordonnées de position. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un capteur projectif-capacitif est utilisé comme capteur de fausses manoeuvres. Etant donné que le capteur projectif-capacitif n'est utilisé que pour générer une confirmation de commande tactile, très peu d'électrodes sont nécessaires dans ce mode de réalisation ainsi qu'un minimum de dispositifs électroniques à canal. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les deux capteurs tactiles peuvent générer des coordonnées tactiles exactes. Selon cette configuration, le système détermine, de préférence, lequel des capteurs est le plus indiqué pour fournir des informations précises en fonction des circonstances.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing crop losses during slab and ingot rolling concerns the formation of a slab ingot having a specially configured or shaped butt end and optionally a head end as well. A special shape is formed by machining, forging or preferably by casting. The special shape at the butt end is imparted during casting by a specially shaped bottom block or starter block. The special shape of the bottom block is imparted to the cast ingot butt end. The specially shaped butt end of a slab shaped ingot is generally rectangular in shape and has longitudinally outwardly extending, enlarged portions, which slope downwardly toward a depressed central valley region. The lateral sides of the enlarged end portions and the depressed valley region carry transversely extending, tapered or curved edges. A similar shape may be imparted to the head end of the ingot at the conclusion of a casting run through the use of a specially shaped hot top mold or by way of machining or forging the cast head end. During subsequent hot rolling in a reversing roughing mill, the specially shaped slab ingot minimizes the formation of overlap and tongue so as to improve material recovery by reducing end crop losses and to increase rolling mill efficiency by increasing metal throughput in the mill.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of anti-cancer drug of a natural compound of vegetal origin, known as aloe-emodin (AE). Indeed, said compound has proved to have a specific biological activity of inhibition on the growth of neuroectodermal tumors, without evident toxic effects. The compound, according to the present invention, has also proved to be cell-specific and it does not show any inhibition on the growth of other cell types such as, for instance, fibroblasts. This pharmacological profile, i.e., tumor-targeting and absence of toxicity, makes said compound particularly advantageous in the treatment of neuroectodermal tumors. Pharmaceutical compositions containing said pharmacological agent can therefore be usefully used in the treatment of the foresaid pathologies.

Abstract: Hibernating myocardium is characterized by viable myocardium with impaired function due to localized reduced perfusion. Hibernating myocytes retain cellular integrity, but cannot sustain high-energy requirements of contraction. High plasma levels of catecholamines, such as norepinepherine, are believed to be predictive of mortality from hibernating myocardium. Likewise, high levels of catecholamines lead to cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes. GLP-1 reduces plasma norepinepherine levels, and it thus is useful in a method of treating hibernating myocardium or diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for preventing retrograde flow of fluid, e.g., blood products, into a source of sterile substitution fluid ( 50 ). The apparatus of the present invention includes a controllable pinch valve member ( 110 ) that is placed on a section of a conduit ( 90 ) which carries sterile substitution fluid to an extracorporeal circuit ( 30 ). In one embodiment, control over the valve member ( 110 ) is based on a control unit ( 120 ) using fluid pressures that are sensed upstream and downstream of the valve member ( 110 ) by upstream sensor ( 121 ) and downstream pressure ( 122 ) respectively. The valve member ( 110 ) is preferably opened only when the upstream pressure is greater than the downstream pressure. This assures that the substitution fluid flows only in a single direction when the pinch valve member ( 110 ) completely occludes the conduit ( 90 ) when in a closed position. Therefor, blood will not contaminate the sterile fluid by being drawn into the conduit ( 90 ) due to pressure differences.
