Abstract: A brake valve in which relief valves (59A, 59B) are prevented from relieving at a low pressure when an actuator is activated and responsiveness and safety thereof is improved. In this brake valve, the relief valves (59A, 59B) and check valves (70A, 70B) are disposed substantially coaxially with each other, and the check valves (70A, 70B) are seated on the leading end side of valve seat members (62A, 62B) when they are opened, whereby communication between inlet side passages (56A, 56B) and the valve seat members (62A, 62B) is substantially cut off. Therefore, when the check valves (70A, 70B) are opened when the actuator is activated, only pressure oil restricted through notched portions (73A, 73B) is fed into the valve seat members (62A, 62B), and the relief valves (59A, 59B) do not perform relieving at a low pressure. As a result of this, pressure oil from a hydraulic pump is fed quickly into a hydraulic motor via respective inlet and outlet passages (9, 10) without creating reduction in the pressure thereof.

Title: Dispositif de surveillance du taux d'alcoolemie
Inventor: PHILLIPS MARY F
IPC: G01N33/98
Filed: 1992-09-25
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif (102) de surveillance qui mesure les taux d'éthanol rejetés par la peau d'une personne pour surveiller à intervalles réguliers ou aléatoires le taux d'alcool dans le sang avec un capteur (218) à teneur en gaz. Le dispositif fait la différence entre un résultat positif provoqué par un gaz externe qui interfère et un résultat positif provoqué par la consommation d'alcool. Le dispositif comprend un détecteur (220) de température qui surveille la température de la peau de la personne avant d'effectuer l'alcotest pour donner une indication d'une barrière placée entre le dispositif et la peau de la personne ou indiquer si le dispositif a été retiré de la personne. Le dispositif mesure la distance depuis la peau de la personne au moyen d'un détecteur (222) de distance ceci ayant pour effet d'empêcher la personne de déplacer le dispositif suffisamment loin pour donner une indication imprécise de la quantité d'alcool présente dans son sang et de donner une autre indication de manipulation si le dispositif est enlevé.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de l'interféron-alpha local dans le traitement de différentes formes de fibroses, à l'intérieur et autour de l'oeil résultant de différentes maladies et opérations ophtalmiques. De manière spécifique, l'invention concerne l'atténuation des cicatrices de la cornée après la kératectomie réfractive photo-ablative par laser (PRK). Elle concerne également l'atténuation de l'opacification capsulaire (cristallin) postérieure après l'opération de la cataracte extacapsulaire avec un implant de cristallin; l'atténuation des cicatrices suivant l'opération de la filtration du glaucome. L'interféron-alpha peut aussi être utilisé pour recouvrir le cristallin à implanter avant ou pendant l'implantation. Il peut aussi être injecté dans l'oeil durant l'opération de l'oeil pour éliminer l'opacification postérieure de la capsule après l'opération de la cataracte et de plus, il peut être injecté dans l'humeur vitrée, pour éviter la fibrose de la rétine et une rétinopathie du corps vitré proliférative, et injecté sous-conjonctivalement pour éviter les fibroses et les cicatrices suivant l'opération de filtration du glaucome.

Abstract: Un procédé de mesure de retard de canal consiste à mesurer le retard encouru par un message se propageant à partir d'une installation principale (100, 400) vers une installation éloignée (200, 500) en passant par le canal (300, 600). L'installation principale comprend une horloge fournissant une première valeur, T1, basée sur l'heure actuelle à cette installation. L'installation éloignée comprend une horloge produisant une seconde valeur, T2, basée sur l'heure actuelle à cette installation. Les deux horloges sont synchronisées à l'aide d'une source de synchronisation commune, telle qu'un signal de synchronisation d'un satellite du système de positionnement global (GPS). Ainsi, T2 est égal à T1. Selon un mode de réalisation, l'installation principale détermine T1 et envoie simultanément un message à l'installation éloignée par l'intermédiaire du canal, le message comprenant T1. En recevant le message, l'installation éloignée détermine simultanément T2. L'installation éloignée décode le message pour déterminer T1, et détermine ensuite le retard en fonction de la différence entre T2 et T1.
