Title: System for welding at least two metal parts using a high density power beam
Inventor: BEZIVIN PHILIPPE
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a system for joining two metal parts by laser welding, comprised of a fixed main frame (40, 41) defining a reference mark, a support mount (42) for a laser beam which can be displaced with respect to the fixed main frame, and a flange stand for parts held against one another by squeezing. The flange stand comprises a structure (41) connected to the main frame, and a table (44) comprised of flange elements (8), in which the arrangement of the elements is adapted to the geometry of the parts to be joined. The table (44) can be displaced with respect to the structure (41) between at least one first position in which the table is independent of the structure and therefore outside the reference mark, and a second position in which the table is connected to the structure and therefore referenced in the mark of the main frame.

Abstract: A substrate for an ion conductor includes a polymer or molecule capable of
sustaining ion conduction, and a boroxine ring. The above mentioned polymer or
molecule participates in and promotes ionic conduction. The boroxine ring is bonded
to the above mentioned polymer or molecule, and captures anions resulting from
dissolution of a salt. An ion conductor includes the substrate, and a salt combined
with the substrate. In the ion conductor, the anions resulting from the salt are
captured by the boroxine ring, but the cations resulting therefrom are transported.
Thus, ion conduction where the majority of charge is carried by the cations occur. As
a result, cation transport numbers far greater than usually observed can be achieved.

Abstract: Information relating to the characteristics of the documents contained in a document
cassette 16 is stored in a button memory 24 on the cassette housing and is read when
the cassette 16 is inserted into a document feeding apparatus. The information is
processed and correlated with data stored in the memory 74 of a control unit 70 to
determine the optimum settings for a mechanism 10 for picking such documents. In
particular, during a pick operation, a predetermined number of pulses are supplied
to a stepper motor 50, so that when the friction belt 30 is moved into engagement
with the documents of the cassette 16, an optimum pressure is exerted by the belt 30
on the documents in the cassette 16. A retard roller 52 is then moved to an optimum
position in relation to the belt 30. In addition, the width of a gap between a guide
plate 62 and the belt 30 is adjusted by moving the retard roller and the guide plate
62 to a predetermined width, which is optimum for accommodating documents of
thickness equal to those in the cassette 16. Hence, the risks of mispicking of
documents, double feeding and document jams are minimised.

Abstract: The circuit breaker has a contact carrier (2) with moving contacts on a bridge (11) which co-operate with fixed contacts (12,13) when actuated by a bar (41) turned about a pivot (43) by an electromagnet (4). The circuit is broken by a spring (8) which exerts a pressure against the end of the bar attached to the contact carrier, the bar having a profile which is lightened in the spring thrust zone, e.g. by a reduction in width. The bar may also be subjected to the effort of two compression springs positioned symmetrically in relation to its median plane of symmetry and on the same side of the bar as the electromagnet. The bar can also interact with the contact carrier via a plastic connecting piece.

Title: Pommes de terre transgeniques avec reduction des niveaux d'activite de la tubercule-phosphorylase de type l ou h alpha-glucan et avec reduction de l'adoucissement au froid
Inventor: KAWCHUK LAWRENCE MICHAEL
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1998-02-05
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des cultures de pommes de terre, qui présentent une réduction des niveaux d'activité des enzymes tubercule-phosphorylase de type L α-glucan (GLTP) ou tubercule-phosphorylase de type H α-glucan (GHTP) dans le tubercule de la pomme de terre. La conversion des amidons en sucres dans les tubercules des pommes de terre, en particulier lorsqu'ils sont conservés à des températures inférieures à 7 °C, est réduite dans les tubercules présentant une réduction d'activité des enzymes GLTP ou GHTP. La réduction de l'adoucissement au froid des pommes de terre permet une conservation des pommes de terre à des températures plus froides, ce qui permet d'obtenir une dormance prolongée, une incidence réduite des maladies et une durée de conservation accrue. Cette invention décrit également des procédés pour produire des cultures de pommes de terre qui génèrent des tubercules présentant une réduction d'activité des enzymes GLTP ou GHTP. La réduction de l'activité des GLTP ou GHTP dans le tubercule de la pomme de terre peut être obtenu par des techniques telles que la suppression de l'expression génique, au moyen d'ARN anti-sens homologue, l'utilisation de la co-suppression, de séquences silencieuses régulatoires, d'inhibiteurs chimiques et protéiques et l'utilisation de la mutagenèse dirigée sur site ou de l'isolation d'allèles alternatifs, pour obtenir des variants de GLTP ou de GHTP avec une affinité réduite à l'amidon ou une activité réduite de l'amidon.

endurance force and the strength, is light and low cost. A
plurality of plasterboards may be laminated. A covering layer
for preventing a plaster powder from flying may be formed on
a butt end surface of a refractory composite constructional
material. A patterned layer or an electromagnetic wave
shielding layer may be provided on a refractory composite
constructional material. A resin composition comprising a

Abstract: L'invention porte également sur un procédé efficace de microfabrication d'un affichage (20) à cristaux liquides entièrement intégré. On dessine tout d'abord une couche sacrificielle et des portions de la couche sacrificielle (37) sont retirées de manière à découvrir des parties de la couche substrat sous-jacente. On forme alors une couche perméable (35) sur la couche sacrificielle en remplissant les espaces correspondant aux portions retirées de la couche sacrificielle (37). On chauffe la structure et on laisse la couche sacrificielle se dissoudre et se dissiper dans la couche perméable de manière à laisser une cavité (37). Une fois la couche sacrificielle retirée, la couche perméable (35) repose sur la partie de la couche perméable qui remplit l'espace correspondant aux portions laissées vides de la couche sacrificielle. On peut ainsi former facilement et fiablement un affichage (20) à cristaux liquides monolithique sans avoir à percer la structure par attaque chimique pour permettre à la couche sacrificielle de s'échapper de la structure, ni à fixer séparément des composants mécaniques sur chacun des affichages à cristaux liquides fabriqués.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, on chauffe un mélange à base d'un ou plusieurs disulfures d'alkyle, de benzène et d'environ 1,5 équivalents au minimum de catalyseur à l'acide de Lewis pour obtenir de l'alcanethiobenzène. Dans un mélange formé à partir de benzène excédentaire, de disulfure de diméthyle (DMDS) et de AlCl3 (et dans lequel le rapport molaire entre AlCl3 et DMDS était de 2 à 1), la réaction fut terminée au bout de deux heures et permit une conversion à 98 % et une production de thioanisole à 93 %. Par contre, la même réaction effectuée avec un rapport molaire 1:1 entre AlCl3 et DMDS ne permit au bout de six heures qu'une conversion à 66 % et une production de thioanisole à 35 % seulement. D'après ce que l'on sait, il s'agit du premier exemple d'une substitution aromatique électrophile hautement efficace du cycle benzénique par un groupe alcanethio.
