Abstract: Procédé servant à prendre l'image d'une organe ciblé chez un patient au moyen de SPECT, ce qui consiste à mettre en application une caméra gamma pourvue d'un détecteur gamma comportant un collimateur (2) de faisceau en éventail, à effectuer la mise au point sur une ligne focale parallèle à la longueur du corps du patient et à reconstruire par ordinateur la distribution de la radioactivité à l'intérieur du corps du patient à partir des images planes saisies, au moyen de certains algorithmes de reconstruction. On saisit ces images le long d'au moins une orbite linéaire dans un sens perpendiculaire au corps du patient et on fait se déplacer la ligne focale du collimateur à travers ledit organe ciblé pendant la prise d'image. L'invention concerne, de plus, un équipement servant à mettre ce procédé en application.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un implant destiné à être placé dans le corps humain et un ensemble permettant de le placer. Cet implant est plus particulièrement destiné à être utilisé dans le système vasculaire du corps humain, et est utilisé pour obstruer un peu d'espace dans ce système vasculaire devant recevoir un traitement. L'implant est de préférence un composant d'un dispositif de déploiement utilisant un joint sectionnable par voie électrolytique. Le composant de l'implant est au moins partiellement recouvert d'une couche hautement résistante ou isolante. Cette dernière s'avère améliorer la sensibilité du joint électrolytique à une érosion rapide, et permettre ainsi la libération de l'implant. Bien que l'implant soit de préférence un dispositif d'occlusion vasculaire, il peut cependant être un extenseur, un filtre de veine cave, ou autre implant pouvant être placé de cette manière. Par ailleurs, l'implant peut être recouvert individuellement avec un matériau isolant ou résistant, ou peut être formé en utilisant un matériau tel que le tantale, qui forme un isolant ou une résistance in situ.

IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: In an electronic signature verification method, in
order to perform optimum verification while coping with
variations in signatures of an individual, data of a
handwritten character string of a signer are fetched and
compared with registration signature data set in advance; and
a verification judgment is performed by use of separate
regions including a region in which the signature is
recognized to be true, a region in which the signature is not
recognized to be true, and an intermediate region in which
re-signing is requested due to impossibility of judgment.
The region in which the signature is recognized to be true
and the intermediate region in which re-signing is requested
are determined on the basis of the distribution of cumulative
errors between the registration signature data and the
plurality of signature data sets for registration, such that
the region in which the signature is recognized to be true
becomes wider when the distribution is wide and becomes
narrower when the distribution is narrow and such that the
intermediate region becomes wider when the distribution is
wide and becomes narrower when the distribution is narrow.

Abstract: The residual gas pressure is measured in the evacuated process chamber (1) and is used to determine the required gas pressure in the calibrating pressure vessel (2). The process chamber (1) is evacuated and the residual gas pressure is measured to produce a signal for a computer. A calibrating factor is determined by the computer on the basis of this signal and a target working pressure in the chamber. An amount of gas with pressure (P) corresponding to an output signal proportional to the calibrating factor is introduced into a calibrating pressure vessel (2) whose volume (v) is smaller than the volume (V) of the process chamber (1). The gas from the pressure vessel (2) is transferred under isothermal conditions into the process chamber (1) to produce the specified working pressure equal to P (V+v). An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus which is characterized by a calibrating pressure vessel (2) which is connected via control valves (3, 4) respectively to an inert gas source and to the process chamber (1). Both the process chamber and the calibrating pressure vessel are connected via pressure sensors (5, 6) to a computer unit (7) governing the valves (3, 4) by means of a control unit (8).

IPC: H03K5/135
Filed: 1999-08-16
Abstract: In a synchronous delay circuit including a first delay circuit array
which is constituted of a plurality of cascade-connected delay circuit
stages, and a second delay circuit array which is constituted of a plurality
of cascade-connected delay circuit stages arranged to have a signal
propagating direction opposite to that of the first delay circuit array.
Each of the delay circuit stages of the first and second delay circuit arrays
includes a CMOS inverter receiving an input signal. A P-channel MOS
transistor of the CMOS inverter, a switching P-channel MOS transistor
and an additional resistor are connected in series between a power supply
line and an output node of the delay circuit stage. An N-channel MOS
transistor of the CMOS inverter, a switching N-channel MOS transistor
and another additional resistor are connected in series between the ground
and the output node of the delay circuit stage. Thus, the current drive
capability of each unitary delay circuit is decreased by the additional
resistors, so that the delay time per one unitary delay circuit can be
increased while minimizing the increase of the jitter. Accordingly, the
area of the delay circuit arrays required to obtain a desired delay time can
be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula I, <CHEM> in which A, B, X, Y, R<1>, R<2>, R<3> and n have the meanings indicated in the claims. The compounds of the formula I are valuable pharmacologically active compounds. They are vitronectin receptor antagonists and inhibitors of cell adhesion and are suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of illnesses which are based on the interaction between vitronectin receptors and their ligands in cell-cell or cell-matrix interaction processes or which can be prevented, alleviated or cured by influencing such interactions. For example, they can be applied for inhibiting bone resorption by osteoclasts and thus for treating and preventing osteoporosis, or for inhibiting undesired angiogenesis or proliferation of cells of the vascular smooth musculature. The invention furthermore relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula I, their use, in particular as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.

Abstract: Pressure swing adsorption plant is regulated by adjusting the gas supply duration (TA) and pumping duration (TP) to maintain a constant production pressure (PP) at a production rate (DR) less than or equal to a nominal rate (DN). A regulating process for a gas stream separation PSA installation operates by production cycles, each of which comprises a supply stage of duration (TA), a production stage for recovering a product gas stream at a predetermined production pressure (PP) and a predetermined nominal production flow rate (DN) and a pumping stage of duration (TP).
