Abstract: The invention relates to trolleys intended for transporting patients between rest areas (bedrooms, communal rooms) and examination or treatment rooms. More specifically the present invention is characterised in that the surface on which the transported person rests is formed by, or in contact with, the upper wall of a tank containing a substance (5) enabling a substantial quantity of thermal energy to be stored, and the substance to be returned to a physiologically acceptable temperature, substantially between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius approximately, the said thermal energy being substantially dissipated by conduction in the said transport surface (2), and in that said substance interacts with means (4) making it possible to return to it at regular intervals the quantities of thermal energy dissipated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un circuit intégré à transistor vertical. On obtient un transistor ayant une amplification de courant beta notablement supérieure à un transistor classique grâce au fait que l'émetteur (5) dudit transistor présente une épaisseur et un niveau de dopage tels que la longueur de diffusion des porteurs minoritaires de charge injectés verticalement dans ce dernier est supérieure ou égale à l'épaisseur de l'émetteur (5), et que la région de contact de l'émetteur est si faible que pendant le fonctionnement, le courant total des porteurs minoritaires de charge injectés depuis la base dans la région d'émetteur est bien plus faible que la densité de courant des porteurs minoritaires injectés depuis la base dans la région d'émetteur au-dessous de la région de contact d'émetteur, multipliée par la surface totale de la région d'émetteur.

Abstract: Compositions pharmaceutiques comprenant un inhibiteur de protéase d'acide aminé 57, et leur emploi. L'inhibiteur de protéase est ici appelé A4i, qui est associé à la maladie d'Alzheimer. La présente invention décrit en outre d'autres analogues ainsi que des compositions pharmaceutiques qui les contiennent et leur utilisation dans le traitement de diverses anomalies associées aux inhibiteurs de protéase fondamentaux du type Kunitz. Par exemple, il a été découvert que les compositions pharmaceutiques contenant l'A4i et ses analogues inhibent la plasmine et la tryptase, ainsi que la trypsine pancréatique, l'alpha-chymotrypsine, la kallikréine tissulaire et la kallikréine sérique. Du fait que certaines maladies sont associées à une libération générale de protéases, telles que la trypsine, la chymotrypsine et l'élastase, dans le système circulatoire, les compositions pharmaceutiques contenant cet A4i ou ses analogues peuvent donc être employées dans le traitement de ces maladies.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for conducting a physical process and a chemical reaction by exposing a material containing a volatile substance to microwave radiation where the morphology of said material will change when exposed to such radiation. The power of said radiation is adjusted over time as the morphology of the material changes to maximize the effect of the radiation in order to produce a product in a minimum amount of time that is substantially free of said volatile substance. The method and apparatus can also be used to conduct such a process or reaction with materials that do not contain a volatile material. In one embodiment a method and apparatus are disclosed for manufacturing a polyimide from a precursor in a solvent by exposing the precursor to microwave radiation in a tuneable microwave resonant cavity (2) that is tuned during imidization to achieve critical coupling of the system. Microwave power is controlled to remove the solvent and obtain the desired level of reaction.
