Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé pour amplifier un signal d'entrée HF au moyen d'un amplificateur de puissance (105, 107 ou 205, 207), ce procédé consistant à diviser ou à séparer en quadrature (103) le signal d'entrée HF en un signal en phase et en un signal de phase en quadrature. On fait varier un signal d'entrée de polarisation d'amplificateur de porteuse (111, 211) par rapport à l'amplitude du signal d'entrée HF. On fait varier un signal d'entrée de polarisation d'amplificateur de crête (113, 213) par rapport à l'amplitude du signal d'entrée HF. Le signal en phase est amplifié au moyen d'un amplificateur de porteuse (105, 205), pour produire un premier signal amplifié. Le signal de phase en quadrature est amplifié au moyen d'un amplificateur de crête (107, 207), pour produire un second signal amplifié. Le premier signal amplifié et le second signal amplifié sont combinés (115, 117), en phase, pour produire un signal de sortie.

Abstract: A gene (cDNA) encoding a bovine myostatin protein. The nucleic acid coding sequence is identified as SEQ ID NO:1 and the protein sequence is identified as SEQ ID NO:2. A mutant gene (SEQ ID NO:3) in which the coding sequence lacks an 11-base pair consecutive sequence (SEQ ID N0:11) of the sequence encoding bovine protein having myostatin activity has been sequenced. It has been shown that cattle of the Belgian Blue breed homozygous for the mutant gene lacking myostatin activity are double-muscled. A method for determining the presence of muscular hyperplasia in a mammal is described. The method includes obtaining a sample of material containing DNA from the mammal and ascertaining whether a sequence of the DNA encoding (a) a protein having biological activity of myostatin, is present, and whether a sequence of the DNA encoding (b) an allelic protein lacking the activity of (a), is present. The absence of (a) and the presence of (b) indicates the presence of muscular hyperplasia in the mammal.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for mixing gas and liquid. An impeller is rotatably mounted inside a draft tube having a constricted section. Rotation of the impeller draws liquid down through the constricted portion of the draft tube. A gas delivery system introduces gas under the surface of the liquid downstream from the constricted portion of the draft tube to entrain the gas in the liquid by a venturi effect. The impeller creates a turbulent gas-liquid mixing zone and also projects liquid radially into the gas as it enters the draft tube. The gas-liquid venturi mixer is particularly suitable for treating industrial and municipal waste water, as well as various other liquids. Gases such as air, oxygen, hydrogen, and the like are efficiently dissolved in such liquids during operation of the gas-liquid venturi mixer.

Abstract: A method for depositing refractory alumina (A2O3) thin layers on cutting tools made of cemented carbide, cermet, ceramics or high speed steel is disclosed. The present method is a Plasma Activated Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD) process in which the plasma is produced by applying a bipolar pulsed DC voltage across two electrodes to which the tool substrates to be coated are fixtured and electrically connected. In contrast to prior art methods, built-up electrical charge on non-conducting surfaces is suppressed and hence, no arcing occurs on said surfaces. This will permit stable, long-term processing, With the present method, high-quality coatings of either single phase gamma-Al2O3 or of a mixture of gamma- and alpha-Al2O3 phases can be deposited on cutting tools at deposition temperatures as low as 500 DEG  C. When coated cemented carbide tools according to the invention are used in the machining of steel or cast iron, several important improvements to prior art produced Al2O3-coated tools have been observed.
