Abstract: An electrical interconnect provides a path between cryogenic or cryocooled circuitry and ambient temperatures. As a system, a cryocable (10) is combined with a trough-line contact or transition (20). In the preferred embodiment, the cryocable (10) comprises a conductor (11) disposed adjacent an insulator (12) which is in turn disposed adjacent another conductor (13). The components are sized so as to balance heat load through the cryocable (10) with the insertion loss. In the most preferred embodiment, a coaxial cryocable (10) has a center conductor (11) surrounded by a dielectric (12) (e.g. Teflon<TM>) surrounded by an outer conductor (13) which has a thickness between about 6 and 20 microns. The heat load is preferably less than one Watt, and most preferably less than one tenth of a Watt, with an insertion loss less than one decibel. In another aspect of the invention, a trough-line contact or transition (20) is provided in which the center conductor (11) is partially enveloped by dielectric (12) to form a relatively flat portion (28). The preferred overall geometry of the preferred embodiment of the cable is generally cylindrical, although other geometries are possible (e.g. stripline, microstrip, coplanar or slotline geometries).

Le réseau comporte au moins un n÷ud de service (CN, SCP) et au moins un autre n÷ud (PN, SSP) en provenance duquel le n÷ud de service reçoit les demandes de service. Selon le procédé de la présente invention, le n÷ud de service émet des demandes de restriction (CG) à un n÷ud qui lui est raccordé, demandant à ce n÷ud de restreindre la quantité de demandes service qu'il émet à destination du n÷ud de service. La demande de restriction comprend un groupe de paramètres spécifiant la façon dont le n÷ud doit pratiquer la restriction. L'émission de la demande de restriction se fait au moins à chaque évolution de l'information. Pour simplifier et fiabiliser le procédé, (a) le n÷ud de service ajoute à la demande de restriction qu'il émet une information identifiant le groupes de paramètres précités et sur lesquels s'appuiera le n÷ud pour pratiquer la restriction, (b) le n÷ud copie cette information dans sa mémoire et renvoie au n÷ud de service les données identifiant le groupe de paramètres qu'il utilise, et (c) le n÷ud de service compare ces données avec les données qu'il a transmises, et utilise le résultat de la comparaison pour déterminer si une demande de restriction est envoyée au n÷ud qui a envoyé les données.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de forage et de production (20) en mer. Cet appareil comprend une coque flottante supérieure (24) de forme prismatique, dans laquelle un passage (38) est ménagé dans le sens longitudinal, et à partir duquel des tubes goulottes (42) s'étendent jusqu'au fond de la mer, le fond de la coque (24) étant placé à une certaine profondeur en fonction du vent, des vagues et des courants du site, ce qui permet de réduire l'action des forces des vagues sur le fond de la coque (24). Une ossature (26) raccordée au fond de la coque, s'étend vers le bas et comprend une pluralité de baies verticales (50) définies par des plaques horizontales (52) piégeant l'eau, et constituant des fenêtres (56) autour de la périphérie de l'ossature. Ces fenêtres offrent une transparence dans le sens horizontal et réduisent la force de traînée. L'espace vertical compris entre les plaques (52) correspond à la largeur de la fenêtre de baie (56). L'ossature (26) est située au-dessous de tout mouvement important significatif des vagues, et de ce fait, le mouvement des vagues inhibe tout mouvement de levage. Cette ossature (26) modifie la période naturelle et la stabilité de l'appareil (20), ce qui réduit le soulèvement, le tangage et le roulis.

Abstract: A method of producing a substantially open-cell, expanded polystyrene sheet, comprising the steps of:   forming a mixture comprising from 30 to 95% of polystyrene incorporating an aliphatic hydrocarbon with 4-6 carbon atoms, from 0 to 65% of polystyrene, and from 0.2 to 10% of a nucleating agent, mixing the mixture obtained and melting it by heating inside an extruder, bringing the mixture to a temperature of 130-150 DEG C in the final portion of the extruder, extruding the mixture in a lower-pressure atmosphere to produce an expanded sheet.   The sheet thus produced is characterized by a low density and by a high capacity to absorb aqueous liquids, particularly if a surfactant is added to the starting mixture. The coupling of the sheet with two films of plastics material produces a laminate suitable for the production, by thermoforming, of trays for foods which may release aqueous liquids. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a potent neurotrophin that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities on a variety of cell types from both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The present invention involves the cloning and characterization of a high affinity receptor for GDNF. This molecule has been named GDNF receptor (GDNFR) since it is the first known component of a receptor system. Nucleic acid and amino acid sequences are described for GDNFR protein products. A hydrophobic domain with the features of a signal peptide is found at the amino terminus, while a second hydrophobic domain at the carboxy terminus is involved in the linkage of the receptor to the cell membrane. The lack of a transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic region indicates that GDNFR requires one or more accessory molecules in order to mediate transmembrane signaling. GDNFR mRNA is widely distributed in both nervous system and non-neural tissues, consistent with the similar distribution found for GDNF.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of cis-platinum(II) complexes of 1,2-cyclohexanediamine isomers, represented by formula I, containing substantially no dihydroxoplatinum(IV) complex as an impurity. <CHEM> Deoxygenated water is used in all steps of the process, from charging of the starting materials; i.e., potassium tetrachloroplatinate and trans-(-)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, to the acquisition of target complexes. In addition, a low-oxygen content atmosphere is applied as an operational environment to prevent deoxygenated water from degradation through oxygen absorption and to eliminate the possibility of direct oxidation of a platinum compound due to atmospheric oxygen.
