Patent EP-1005183-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BLONDEL JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: G02B6/00

Abstract: The system ensures a reduction in Raman effect energy losses. The system for optical fibre transmission of signals without repeaters provides a method of scrambling the polarisation of the light waves injected into the system. The scrambling system may scramble the polarisation of the waves carrying information, or may scramble the polarisation of the optical pumping waves. The scrambling may happen in either the time frame or the spatial frame, and may be applied at high frequency or at low frequency. This may be achieved with a passive birefringent element. This technique has the effect of limiting the transfer of energy by the Raman effect, and allows an increase the power which may be injected into a link.

Abstract: A method for conveniently detecting binding between the von Willebrand factor and glycoprotein Ib and a means to be used therein. The von Willebrand factor fixed in a reactor immobilized in a reaction vessel in the presence of bottrocetin is bound to a chimeric protein constructed by fusing the carboxyl terminal of a partial protein containing the von Willebrand factor-binding site of glycoprotein Ib with the amino terminal of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin molecule. Then the Fc region of the above immunoglobulin molecule is detected to thereby detect the binding between the von Willebrand factor and the glycoprotein Ib or inhibition of this binding.

Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article, at least a portion of which has a protease inhibitor incorporated therein to decrease the activity of proteases that may otherwise initiate or contribute to inflammation of the skin of a wearer of the article resulting in skin irritation or dermatitis. The article can further comprise a delivery system for releasably containing and delivering the protease inhibitor to at least a portion of the skin of the wearer. The delivery system can comprise a skin care composition and at least a portion of the composition, including the protease inhibitor, is automatically transferred from the article to the wearer's skin without manual intervention during normal usage of the article to form a defense against protease activity. Most preferably, repeated application of similarly treated articles to the wearer's skin provides an available source from which the protease inhibitor continuously transfers onto the skin over time and accumulates to provide a proactive defense against protease activity for the reduction or prevention of skin irritation or dermatitis due to proteolytic enzymes.

Abstract: A sample cell for use in spectroscopy includes two cell portions that are mutually adjustable to enable a user to vary the cross sectional geometry of sample cell flow path thereof between at least two discrete configurations or positions. In a first position, the flow path may be provided with a relatively small cross-sectional area to provide a relatively small pathlength and generate high velocity fluid flow therethrough. The small pathlength enables use of relatively small sample volumes and facilitates optical measurement of samples, such as blood, which have relatively high optical density, absorbance or light scattering properties. In a second position, the flow path provides a larger cross-section adapted to permit larger agglomerations or clots to pass through the flow path to facilitate cleaning of the sample cell. The cell portions are maintained in slidable engagement with one another so that the adjustability of the flow path is accomplished by sliding movement of the cell portions relative to one another. In one embodiment, the cell portions are engaged along generally planar mating surfaces and the adjustability is accomplished by sliding the mating surfaces relative to one another. In another embodiment, the mating surfaces are superposed in spaced relation to one another, and the adjustability is accomplished by varying the distance therebetween.

Abstract: An actuation device uses, for the active element, a flexible bellows operated by a pressurized fluid (usually, but not necessarily, at a pressure higher than the ambient one). The bellows is housed, for the most part of its length, inside a cylindrical cavity having the inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bellows, so that the bellows is free to vary its length, but is restrained to bend sideways and therefore can be operated by high pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cleaning filter housings, especially for cleaning the unfiltrate area of boiler filters, wherein filter candles are fixed on an intermediate bottom separating the filtrate area from the unfiltrate area and the unfiltrate area is rinsed with cleaning fluid. The invention also relates to a device for cleaning said filter housings. According to the invention, practically all the inner walls of said filter are rinsed with the cleaning fluid from the upper area downwards. To this end, a cleaning agent is directed in the upper area of the unfiltrate area against the lower wall of the intermediate bottom and/or against the upper area of the wall of the unfiltrate area, the direction of the flow being such that a substantially hermetic cleaning film can be guided down from the upper wall of the unfiltrate area to the latter.

Title: Cellular radio field repetition (RCC) system for closed environments and similar conditions, for mitigating the losses caused by obstacles in general and recovering the telephone service without altering its characteristics

Abstract: The system is used to transfer the cellular telephone system radio field from the outside to the inside of a closed environment and vice versa. It consists of two RF amplifiers connected in back-to- back mode for bidirectionality and decoupled from each other by two branchings (filters plus aerial coupler), which are to be connected to the corresponding aerials. The gains of the amplifiers compensate for the section loss between the internal aerial and the mobile telephone, according to the average distance between them, which depends on the size of the room. The decouplings have values such that self-oscillation is reliably eliminated, and there is also a quenching device to be used against this problem if it occurs. The characteristics of linearity in frequency and dynamics, and of the filtering, make this system versatile for use in cellular telephony and in other transceiver systems, and it can also be constructed from interchangeable modular systems. <IMAGE>
