Title: Mass transit vehicle window installation method and assembly
Inventor: MCCAULEY ALVIN D
IPC: B60J10/02
Filed: 2002-01-16
Abstract: A mass transit vehicle window installation assembly for simplifying and accelerating the installation of window assemblies in vehicle window apertures.      The assembly comprises a retainer that connects between a window assembly frame and a vehicle wall panel having a window aperture shaped to receive the window assembly where the window assembly frame has a platform shape that generally complements that of the window aperture. The retainer spaces such a window assembly frame from an inner peripheral surface of a complementary window aperture. The retainer is supported on either a window frame or a complementary window aperture in a position to center the window assembly as the window assembly is inserted into the aperture. This allows an operator to insert a window assembly into a window aperture after one or more of the window assembly retainers have been installed on one of the window frame and window aperture. The retainers cause the window assembly to automatically center itself in a receiving window aperture as an installer inserts the window assembly into the vehicle aperture.

Title: Methode de detection de substances inhibitrices du mecanisme bacterien de secretion du type iii et de la fonction de proteines secretoires connexes
Inventor: OMURA SATOSHI
IPC: A61P31/04
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter un composant qui inhibe de manière spécifique le mécanisme de sécrétion du type III et la fonction d'une protéine sécrétoire de type III sécrétée par ce mécanisme, en peu de temps et avec un débit élevé, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de recourir à des expériences impliquant l'infection d'animaux. Ce procédé permettant de détecter un inhibiteur du mécanisme de sécrétion de type III est caractérisé par les étapes suivantes : on mélange une bactérie présentant le mécanisme de sécrétion de type III avec une suspension d'érythrocytes, on ajoute un inhibiteur de ce mécanisme de sécrétion du type III à ce mélange, et on détecte une modification de l'activité hémolytique causée par cet inhibiteur. Ce procédé permet de traiter un grand nombre d'échantillons en un intervalle de temps bref et permet d'exprimer numériquement un composant inhibant le mécanisme de sécrétion de type III d'une bactérie ou la fonction d'une protéine sécrétoire de type III, à partir de l'indication fournie par l'activité hémolytique des érythrocytes. Ces caractéristiques rendent ce procédé avantageux, par exemple pour la mise au point de médicaments.

Title: Optical regenerator for high bit-rate otdm signals
Inventor: COTTER DAVID
IPC: H04B10/299
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: An optical regenerator suitable for use with optical signals has two stages.  An incoming optical signal to be regenerated passes first through a data division stage. This divides the optical data stream into a number of data streams at a bit rate lower than the original optical signal. These data streams then pass to a regeneration stage. In the regeneration stage, there are a number of optical gates. Each gate receives one of the optical data streams at its control input. An optical clock stream at the lower or at a multiple thereof passes through the optical gates. The output of these optical gates are connected in common to the optical output of the regenerator and provide a bit-interleaved regenerated optical data stream at the output.

Title: Round baler binding arrangement including twine tension control
Inventor: VIAUD JEAN
IPC: A01F15/14
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: A binding arrangement and a process for the control of a binding arrangement is described that includes a binding material delivery arrangement, a cutting arrangement and a braking arrangement for the binding material, where the brake can be controlled and generates a variable braking force. To improve the binding process for harvested crop, brakes for the binding material are applied with which a binding material tension is generated or is increased to cause the binding material to be retarded during the binding process in opposition to the flow of the binding material. The brakes are controlled such that only a low binding material tension is caused at the beginning of the binding process to increase the tension to as large a value as possible during the continuing binding process and to reduce the tension upstream of the cutting arrangement again at the end of the binding process.  This control is done through a control arrangement, as a function of the binding material delivery conditions, and performs at least two changes in braking force within one binding cycle.
