Title: Method and device for end position disconnection of a drive mechanism of a regulating valve
Inventor: STEIGLEDER NORBERT
IPC: G05D3/12
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for end position disconnection of a drive mechanism of a regulating valve, wherein the drive mechanism is disconnected when a parameter that is changed by the drive mechanism has reached a limiting value. According to the invention, the variable parameter is the force exerted upon the regulating valve. To this end, an existing path endpoint switch is regulated in such a way that it disconnects the drive mechanism depending on the force being exerted upon the regulating armature by the drive mechanism.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une prothèse tibiale de l'articulation du genou destinée à être fixée à un os tibial convenablement préparé, comprenant des parties d'appui dans les compartiments latéraux et médians. Les surfaces d'appui latérale et médiane du composant sont inclinées selon des angles différents, de l'avant vers l'arrière du genou, de sorte que lorsqu'elle est montée sur le tibia, la surface d'appui latérale de la prothèse est plus haute que la surface d'appui médiane, à l'arrière du genou. De ce fait, le ligament latéral se tend progressivement plus que le ligament médian lorsque le genou passe de l'extension à la flexion, ce qui produit une stabilité accrue du compartiment latéral.

Title: Method for optical excitation of fluorophore  marked dna and rna
Inventor: KOENIG KARSTEN
IPC: C12Q1/6841
Filed: 2000-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optical excitation of fluorophore-marked DNA and fluorophore-marked RNA, especially specific localizations of DNA and RNA, which are marked by fluorescence in situ hybridation (FISH). The aim of the inventive method is to provide easy high-contrast, simultaneous excitation of several FISH fluorophores which are to be detected and which can be represented in 3D, exhibiting various fluorescent characteristics. The excitation and detection of said fluorophores should be guaranteed at a depth of more than 100 micrometers in said biological material. According to the invention, the fluorescence of the FISH fluorophores and DNA markers is excited by means of multiphoton excitation in a simultaneous manner with pulsed or non-pulsed radiation at a wavelength ranging from 700nm to 1000nm, preferably 760nm and 820 nm. A total of 20 FISH fluorophores and DNA markers which are available on the market were tested. In all of the cases examined, simultaneous detection of multiphoton-excited fluorophores was possible.

Abstract: The disclosure of this application relates to a method and apparatus for removing a variety of contaminants from soil, sediment, fine sand and clay. The disclosure describes an apparatus in which contaminated material that is comprised of particles having a size less than about 5 mm in diameter are injected from a nozzle (231) into a zone of discharge from one or a number of nozzles (500). These nozzles (500) are positioned to discharge liquid or cleaning fluid at a pressure from about 2000 psi to about 20,000 psi. The cleaned material is then collected and separated into liquid and solid phases. The solids, when cleaned by the use of this apparatus, can then be returned to the site without danger of contamination of the surrounding area and no disposal costs are incurred for disposition of contaminated soil.

Patent EP-1212918-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MUELLER WALTER
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A telecommunications network performs an inter-frequency hard handover for a connection with a user equipment unit (UE) by switching either from a cell or a current active set of base stations on a first frequency to a virtual active set of base stations on another (new) frequency. The inter-frequency hard handover can be an inter-frequency handover within a same system, or an inter-system handover. The virtual active set of base stations is maintained at the user equipment unit (UE), and is updated in accordance with one of several updating implementations of the invention. In a first mode of the invention for implementing virtual active set updates, the network authorizes the user equipment unit (UE) to report to the network the occurrence of certain network-specified events which are acted upon by the network for communicating virtual active set update information to the user equipment unit (UE). In a second mode of the invention, the network authorizes the user equipment unit (UE) to perform an autonomous virtual active set update upon occurrence of certain network-specified events, with inter-frequency events being reported from the equipment unit (UE) to the network and the network issuing an inter-frequency handover command. Advantageously, events which trigger intra-frequency measurements can be reused for reporting inter-frequency measurements. In another of its aspects, the present invention provides the network with a quality estimate for a current active set as well as a quality estimate for the virtual active set. The quality estimate can be utilized in a context of a handover from one UTRAN frequency to another UTRAN frequency, or even in the context of an inter-system handover (e.g., a handover between a UTRAN system and a GSM system for example). The quality estimate can be utilized to trigger a change or switch of frequencies/systems. Certain thresholds employed in the quality estimate-utilizing handovers provide hysteresis protection.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un amidon manifeste des propriétés d'épaississement par cisaillement. Cet amidon est de type prégélatinisé et gonflant à l'eau froide; il se présente comme un amidon fortement réticulé et stabilisé qui a subi un traitement thermique pour devenir gonflant à l'eau froide tout en gardant intactes la plupart des granules d'amidon. Le processus permet d'obtenir de l'amidon fortement réticulé. On chauffe ensuite l'amidon pendant une période et dans des conditions de température et d'humidité efficaces pour désagréger moins de 50 % des granules d'amidon intactes qui font partie de cet amidon et pour lui conférer la caractéristique suivante: lorsqu'une suspension de l'amidon de l'invention est soumise au cisaillement moyen à intense, la viscosité de l'amidon tend vers une valeur maximale.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) de capteur de véhicule comprenant un capteur (14) de véhicule constitué d'un matériau de densité relativement faible, destiné à un composant (12) de guidage de fluide d'un véhicule, tel qu'un collecteur d'admission d'air comportant un élément (18) de réception du capteur constitué d'un matériau à densité relativement élevée. Lorsqu'on insère le capteur (14) dans ledit élément (18) de réception, la surface (30) d'engagement du capteur, relativement plus tendre, est déplacée de son état de repos par la surface (26) d'engagement plus dure de l'élément de réception. La surface (30) d'engagement plus tendre du capteur est élastique et tente toujours de revenir à sa position de repos afin de soulager la zone soumise à des tensions élevées. En essayant de revenir à son état de repos, la surface (30) d'engagement du capteur « glisse » vers une zone soumise à de plus faibles tensions. Le corps (14) du capteur réagit en « glissant » vers le composant de guidage de fluide du véhicule. L'invention exploite ainsi le soulagement des tensions résiduelles créées lors de l'insertion du corps (14) du capteur afin de resserrer le montage du capteur dans ledit composant (12) du véhicule.

Abstract: Paraquat has been found to accept electrons from nitric oxide synthase (NOS) whereupon the reduced paraquat generates toxic O2- and prevents NOS from giving electrons to arginine and thereby inhibits NO production. This is generalized for compounds with a redox potential greater than nitric oxide synthase. The compounds inhibit nitric oxide synthase and kill cells including NOS by generating O2- and also by depriving the cells of the NO which they need. Applications include treating paraquat-induced injury and pathologically proliferating cells (tumors, restenosis benign prostatic hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, infective pathogens).
