Abstract: Cette invention concerne la microbiologie et, plus particulièrement, la détection, l'identification et la quantification ou l'énumération de micro-organismes. Des micro-organismes, tels que des virus, des plasmides, des bactéries, des levures, des champignons, des algues, des protozoaires, des cellules animales ou végétales et d'autres cellules de procaryotes ou d'eucaryotes sont en général des organismes unicellulaires dont les dimensions sont inférieures aux limites de la perception visuelle, ils échappent donc à une détection facile. Cette invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de colorer in situ des micro-organismes. Ces procédés consistent (a) à mélanger un matériau contenant au moins un micro-organisme avec une composition qui peut (partiellement) dégrader une paroi cellulaire ou une membrane cellulaire d'un micro-organisme, ce qui permet d'introduire une sonde à l'intérieur de ladite paroi et/ou membrane; (b) à fixer ledit micro-organisme au moyen d'un agent fixateur dans le but de fixer ses caractéristiques corpusculaires individuelles; (c) à faire réagir ladite sonde avec une molécule d'acides nucléiques ou un antigène présent dans ledit micro-organisme; et (d) à déceler la présence de ladite sonde dans ledit micro-organisme.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé (500) et un système (200) qui par un calcul aller/retour permet de mesurer la distance entre une station mobile de radio (MS) (208) et une station radio de base (BS) (BS0, BS1, BS2) en fonction des temps de propagation aérienne des liaisons ascendante et descendante (par exemple Tup et Tdown). Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de recourir à une base de temps absolue. Les stations MS et BS fournissent à un noeud de service (203) du réseau mobile les temps locaux de départ et d'arrivée (308, 328) des signaux (212, 215) et calculent les temps apparents Tup et Tdown de propagation aérienne des liaisons ascendante et descendante. La distance D séparant la MS de la BS est donnée par D = c (Tup + Tdown)/2 où c = la vitesse de la lumière. Les distances D1, D2 et D3 d'au moins trois stations de base dont les emplacements sont connus peuvent servir dans un algorithme de triangulation pour calculer la position de MS'.

Abstract: Système de revascularisation transmyocardique qui comporte une pluralité de pièces d'insertion formées dans une matière destinée à induire une réponse de guérison des tissus du myocarde, ainsi que des instruments de déploiement et composants associés destinés à déployer les pièces d'insertion dans la paroi du myocarde. Lesdites pièces d'insertion sont conçues pour être placées dans des passages ou canaux respectifs dans la paroi du myocarde. Ces pièces peuvent avoir diverses formes, par ex, des éléments pleins, des éléments tubulaires ou des éléments poreux et peuvent être résorbables, partiellement résorbables ou non résorbables. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les pièces d'insertion sont conçues pour être laissées en place dans les canaux de la paroi du myocarde et pour constituer ainsi plusieurs passages qui permettent au sang de passer et de pénétrer dans des capillaires contigus. Les instruments de déploiement sont conçus pour percer les tissus du myocarde, soit depuis l'endocarde, soit depuis l'épicarde, pour introduire les pièces d'insertion dans le myocarde, selon l'instrument de déploiement particulier utilisé. Lesdits instruments de déploiement peuvent être associés à un dispositif de stabilisation destiné à les stabiliser durant la procédure d'introduction des pièces d'insertion dans le myocarde. Un dispositif de commande, qui peut faire partie du système, est destiné à coordonner le fonctionnement de l'instrument de déploiement avec le cycle cardiaque. La formation des passages peut être effectuée soit par les pièces d'insertion, soit par d'autres moyens, tels qu'une pointe de percement ou un applicateur d'énergie formant une partie de l'instrument. Les pièces d'insertion peuvent comprendre un ou plusieurs produits pharmaceutiques, agents à activité biologique, matières radio-opaques, etc.

Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter includes an input circuit (9) producing a plurality of corresponding switch control signals (25) in response to a digital input signal (DIN) and a resistive ladder network (10A) including an R/2R MSB ladder section (2) including a plurality of 'R' resistors (17) and a plurality of '2R' resistors (5), and an R/2R LSB ladder section (3) including a plurality of 'R' resistors (17) and a plurality of '2R' resistors (5). A scaling resistor (21) is coupled between a least significant node conductor (7-3) of the MSB ladder section and a most significant node conductor (7-4) of the LSB ladder section. A plurality of switch circuits (6) each selectively conducts a respective parallel resistor circuit (5) to a first reference voltage conductor (VREFH) or a second reference voltage conductor (VREFL) in response to the various switch control signals (25). The resistances of the resistors of the 'R' resistors of the MSB ladder section are different than the resistances of the resistors of the 'R' resistors of the LSB ladder section. The resistances of the 'R' resistors of the MSB ladder section, the resistances of the 'R' resistors of the LSB ladder section, and the resistance of the scaling resistor are related by the expression R''=2R-R', where R'' is the resistance of a scaling resistor, R is the resistance of the 'R' resistors of the MSB ladder section, and R' is the resistance of the 'R' resistors of the LSB ladder section.

Abstract: In a freezing cycle that utilizes a supercritical fluid as its coolant
and employs an internal heat exchanger that performs heat exchange on
the coolant on the outlet side of a gas cooler and on the intake side of a
compressor, a means for adjustment that adjusts the quantity of heat
exchange performed by the internal heat exchanger (4) is provided. The
means for adjustment is constituted of a bypass passage (9) that bypasses
the internal heat exchanger (4) and a flow-regulating valve (10) that
adjusts the coolant flow rate in the bypass passage (9). The flow-regulating
valve (10) is constituted of an electromagnetic valve, the
degree of openness of which is determined based upon information with
respect to the cycle state, or a bellows regulating valve that operates in
correspondence to the pressure on the high-pressure side. Alternatively,
the means for adjustment may perform adjustment by varying the passage
length over which heat exchange is performed by the internal heat
exchanger (4). Good cycle efficiency is achieved by maintaining the
optimal high-pressure through cycle balance control. The freezing cycle
can be temporarily protected against excessively high-pressure or
excessively high discharge temperature at the compressor.
