Abstract: The invention relates to a glow discharge source for elemental analysis on solid material samples, which can be operated with a direct voltage, a pulsed direct voltage, or a HF voltage. The aim of the invention is to produce a glow discharge source for elemental analysis on solid material samples, whereby  a glow discharge is generated between the material sample (4) and an anode (1), by means of a connected electrical voltage source (6), such that the blind current is minimised and the current flowing through the cooling water is not included in the measurement. Said aim is achieved, whereby a current transformer element (9), for recording the current flowing between the glow discharge (7) and the voltage source (6) is arranged in or on the anode (1), or the components electrically connected to the anode. The glow discharge source may be used for optical glow discharge spectroscopy (GD-OES), glow discharge mass spectroscopy (GD-MS), or secondary neutral mass spectroscopy (SNMS).

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des procédés et à des compositions servant au recrutement de cellules immunes, à leur activation et à l'initialisation de leur prolifération. Cette invention a découvert que des cellules d'insectes spécifiques et des compositions de cellules d'insectes possèdent des propriétés d'adjuvants. L'avantage ajouté de ce système consiste dans le fait que les cellules d'insectes utilisées peuvent être transformées par un système d'expression et que, par conséquent, des protéines peuvent être introduites dans la composition par l'expression directe de protéines par lesdites cellules. Les compositions et les procédés revendiqués sont particulièrement pertinents dans les thérapies antitumorales et anticancéreuse. Un intérêt spécifique de ces compositions réside dans leur capacité à induire une réponse qui combat non seulement la tumeur primaire mais également les cellules métastatiques ou les tumeurs métastatiques qui surviennent par la suite.

Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: The present invention relates in general to systems used to determine whether
airbag deployment should be disabled or modified due to the proximity of the
occupant to the airbag. In particular, the present invention is an image processing
system that uses an image and signal process that utilizes real-time streaming video-images
from a video camera to determine if the occupant is too close to the air bag, or
will be to close the air bag by the time that the airbag deploys. In a crash situation, the
system quickly determines whether or not the airbag should be disabled or modified.
The process uses a multiple-model Kalman filter to infer three-dimensional
information from a sequence of two-dimensional images. The system predicts the
position and shape of the occupant at a faster rate than the rate in which the camera
collects data.
