Abstract: Cette invention concerne un machine destinée à la fabrication de cigarettes qui comprend un réservoir de tabac allongé (10, 110), lequel va recevoir à une extrémité (10A) du tabac acheminé de manière pneumatique, et va envoyer le tabac sous forme d'un tapis épais vers l'autre extrémité (10B) au niveau de laquelle se trouvent un ou plusieurs cylindres de mesure (26, 28, 30). Ces cylindres vont ensuite envoyer un tapis de tabac plus fin et mesuré (34) vers une partie de la machine effectuant la formation des boudins de cigarette. Le réservoir possède une largeur à peu près égale à celle du tapis mesuré envoyé vers le dispositif de formation des boudins, et son orifice d'alimentation en tabac est situé dans un dispositif oscillant (22, 122) qui permet d'étaler sur toute la largeur de la trémie le tabac acheminé de manière pneumatique. Le réservoir possède également, à chaque extrémité, des systèmes (36, 136) assurant une bonne étanchéité entre l'espace interne dudit réservoir et l'atmosphère, ceci de manière à ce que le tabac puisse être stocké dans le réservoir sans trop se dessécher lorsque la machine ne fonctionne pas.

Abstract: Une section de réglage de la tension (20) d'un dispositif électronique transforme une tension de commande d'entrée (VI) en une tension de commande de sortie (VO) de manière à ce que la forme d'un courant collecteur (ICP) constitué d'électrons émis par un émetteur (EP) d'une cellule d'émission et de collecte (26), ou triode, varie de façon désirée, généralement linéairement, par rapport à la tension de commande d'entrée. Ladite triode comporte également un collecteur (CP) qui porte le courant collecteur et une électrode de grille (GP) qui régule le courant collecteur et le fait varier en fonction de la tension de commande de sortie. La régulation du courant collecteur permettant de parvenir à la relation désirée entre la tension et le courant est obtenue au moyen d'une boucle de régulation analogique contenant la triode et un amplificateur (28) couplé entre le collecteur de la triode et l'électrode de grille. La triode possède ainsi typiquement une caractéristique gamma linéaire par rapport à la tension de commande d'entrée. La section de réglage de la tension est adaptée à une utilisation dans un dispositif d'affichage du type afficheur à panneau plat.

IPC: G06K7/10

Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoding bar code symbols using an analysis of the ratios of the module size for the bars and spaces of the bar code. The invention is applicable to any bar code having one or more nominal widths in the bars and spaces, and is particularly useful in bar codes having multiples widths in the specification for the bar code and in situations where the bar code signal has a low signal-to-noise ratio, or is degraded because of a damaged, smudged, or dirty bar code, or where the bar code is read at less than the optimum angle. The invention identifies mis-decoded characters and uses adaptive techniques to decode characters previously non-decodable or mis-decoded by standard methods, thereby improving the decode rate as compared to prior techniques. The decoding rate is improved without having to re-scan the bar code for a new signal, thereby making the invention particularly useful for high-speed or one-pass decoding operations.

Abstract: Recombinants containing and expressing lentivirus, retrovirus or immunodeficiency virus DNA and methods for making and using the same are disclosed and claimed. In an exemplified embodiment, attenuated recombinant viruses containing DNA encoding a feline immunodeficiency virus epitope such as an antigen, as well as methods and compositions employing the viruses, expression products therefrom, and antibodies generated from the viruses or expression products, are disclosed and claimed. The recombinants can be NYVAC or ALVAC recombinants. The DNA can encode at least one of: Env, Gag, Pol, or combinations thereof such as Gag and Pol or protease or Env, Gag and Pol or protease. The recombinants and gene products therefrom and antibodies generated by them have several preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic uses. DNA from the recombinants are useful as probes or, for generating PCR primers or for immunization. The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of immunization protocols involving ALVAC-FIV and priming with a recombinant canarypox virus ALVAC-FIV vaccine followed by a booster immunization with inactivated FIV-infected celled vaccine (ICV) was evaluated against FIV challenge in cats and the protocol was shown to effectively induce FIV-specific protective immune responses. Further, it was found that immunized cats were fully protected from an initial challenge with a slightly heterologous FIV strain (50CID<SUB>50</SUB>) and were partially protected from a second challenge with a distinctly heterologous FIV strain (75CID<SUB>50</SUB>) given eight months after the initial challenge without any intervening booster.
