Abstract: A method for controlling a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
system having an air vent associated with a window for blowing an air flow of
controlled temperature thereon; the HVAC system having a refrigeration unit
with a compressor and an evaporator, and blowing means for forcing air over
the evaporator to the air vent. The method includes a first step (14,16,18) (a) of activating
the compressor while deactivating the blowing means during a first period for
condensing moisture of the air contained in the HVAC system. The method
includes a further step (20,22,24,26) (b) comprising, at the expiry of the first period, activating
the blowing means (22) and keeping the compressor active during a second period
for sufficiently reducing the dew-point temperature of air blown by the HVAC
system, and deactivating the compressor (26) at the expiry of the second period.

Abstract: The control includes a mobile switch (3,3a,3b) which may be moved in rotation about its axis (Z), and by translation in the plane normal to the axis. The function to be controlled by the switch is selected by use of sensitive buttons (5) on the top surface of the switch.  The control for at least two functions includes a mobile switching element (3,3a,3b) which has a tactile zone (5). A first function is activated by selecting one of the regions (5) of the tactile zone, and the whole mobile element is then moved to effect control of this selected function. By selection of another of the regions (5) of the tactile zone, a different function may be controlled. The whole element may be moved in rotation about its axis (Z), and by translation in the plane normal to the axis. The tactile zone may use resistive, capacitive or optical controls to detect which function has been selected. The tactile zone regions (5) may protrude from the surface to enable them to be sensed and selected easily by the operator.

Abstract: A fuel pump for use in delivering high pressure fuel to a common rail of a fuel injection
system includes a pumping plunger (10) which is reciprocable within a plunger bore (12) to
cause pressurisation of fuel within a pumping chamber (16). In use, during a pumping stroke,
the plunger (10) is driven inwardly within the plunger bore (12) to reduce the volume of the
pumping chamber (16), and during a return stroke the plunger (10) moves outwardly from the
bore to increase the volume of the pumping chamber (16). An inlet valve arrangement (26) is
provided, including an inlet valve (28) which is movable between an inlet open position, in
which the pumping chamber (16) communicates with a low pressure fuel source (24), and an
inlet closed position, in which communication between the low pressure fuel source (24) and
the pumping chamber (16) is broken. The inlet valve (28) is movable from the inlet closed
position to the inlet open position in response to fuel pressure acting on the inlet valve (28).
The inlet valve arrangement includes an inlet valve actuator (29) which is operable to hold
the inlet valve (28) in the inlet open position for at least a part of the pumping stroke. The
pump also includes a delivery valve arrangement (42) having a delivery valve (44) which is
movable between a delivery open position, in which the pumping chamber (16)
communicates with the common rail, and a delivery closed position, in which communication
between the common rail and the pumping chamber (16) is broken. The delivery valve (44) is
movable from the delivery closed position to the delivery open position in response to fuel
pressure acting on the delivery valve (44), and includes a delivery valve actuator (45) which
is operable to hold the delivery valve (44) in the delivery open position, for at least a period
of the return stroke, thereby to regulate fuel pressure within the common rail.

processing the select commands simultaneously while actually processing the existing command sequentially.
According to another aspect, the method includes the steps of: determining if there is an existing command at
the user equipment; and if there is an existing command at the user equipment, processing the existing
command prior to processing any received commands such that the user equipment appears to be processing
commands simultaneously. According to a third aspect, the method includes the steps of: determining the
current time (T); and determining that the first activation time (T1) comes after the second activation time (T2)

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour associer un gène à un caractère présenté par un ou plusieurs organismes d'une pluralité d'organismes d'une espèce. Une carte de marqueurs génétiques est établie à partir d'un ensemble de marqueurs génétiques associés à la pluralité d'organismes. Pour chaque gène d'une pluralité de gènes, une analyse de locus de caractère quantitatif est réalisée par utilisation de la carte de marqueurs génétiques et d'un caractère quantitatif. Cette analyse de locus de caractère quantitatif produit des données de locus de caractère quantitatif. Un caractère quantitatif comprend une statistique d'expression pour un gène. Cette statistique d'expression pour un gène est déduite d'un niveau de constituant cellulaire qui correspond au gène dans chaque organisme de la pluralité d'organismes. Les données de locus de caractère quantitatif sont regroupées à partir de chaque analyse de locus de caractère quantitatif, afin de former une carte d'interaction de locus de caractère quantitatif. Des groupes de gènes dans la carte sont identifiés comme groupe de voie candidat. Une carte de groupe d'expression est utilisée pour affiner le groupe de voie candidat. Une analyse à plusieurs variables est utilisée pour valider le groupe de voie candidat comme ensemble de gènes en interaction génétique.

Abstract: This invention relates to the detection of tool ( 50 ) and other items used on machines by use of a detector ( 5 ). An emitter ( 10 ) emits a beam of laser light ( 20 ) and sensor ( 30 ) is used to determine the presence or absence of a tool ( 50 ) when the tool is positioned in the beam. If any light is present at the sensor ( 30 ) within a predetermined time period then the tool must be broken and the output of the detector is latched. Thus if a broken tool is present and contamination obstructs the beam then this is ignored provided some light is sensed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a safe and highly
effective antibacterial composition without impairing the
flavor of foods or drinks, which composition is used in
products such as foods and oral care goods which are mainly
to be taken into human or animal bodies or mainly to be
used in the oral cavity. 
     The composition according to the present invention
contains gallocatechin gallate as an agent for enhancing
the activity of antibacterial catechins in which the
antibacterial activity of the antibacterial catechins
against  Streptococcus mutans  is particularly enhanced. The
composition according to the present invention can be
produced by mixing the antibacterial catechins with
gallocatechin gallate. Alternatively, it can be produced
as a composition comprising a synthetic adsorbent-adsorbed
fraction as the main component, which is obtained by
subjecting a solvent-extract from tea leaves to an
adsorption treatment with the use of a synthetic adsorbent
selected from among aromatic compound-based synthetic
adsorbents and methacrylic compound-based synthetic
adsorbents.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de sensibilisation à la vitesse destiné à des véhicules. Ce dispositif comprend une fonction de limitation de vitesse et une fonction d'alerte de vitesse, et est conçu pour être utilisé avec un véhicule qui comporte un capteur de vitesse de rotation électronique. Ledit dispositif comprend un moyen permettant de programmer la vitesse d'un véhicule et est conçu, en cours d'utilisation, pour comparer la vitesse du véhicule à une vitesse de véhicule présélectionnée, et pour fournir une indication de sensibilisation à la vitesse à mesure que la vitesse du véhicule approche la vitesse présélectionnée. Ledit dispositif permet de prévenir une vitesse trop élevée, de réduire les coûts de fonctionnement d'un véhicule, et également d'améliorer l'image de l'entreprise. Ce dispositif s'avère particulièrement avantageux pour les conducteurs de voitures d'entreprise ou de flottes commerciales. Ledit dispositif permet également au conducteur de ne pas mettre son emploi en péril, en mettant en garde celui-ci contre des contraventions pour excès de vitesse, voire contre un retrait du permis de conduire.
