Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé quantitatif qui permet de mesurer la consommation d'un substrat dans une réaction catalysée de manière microbienne. Ce procédé consiste à incuber le substrat de l'échantillon avec une quantité excédentaire d'un micro-organisme et une quantité excédentaire d'un co-substrat. Cette incubation se poursuit jusqu'à oxydation dudit substrat en un point final prédéterminé, après quoi on mesure la quantité de réduction du co-substrat. Ce procédé peut être utilisé afin de déterminer rapidement la demande biochimique en oxygène (DBO) ou la toxicité biologique du substrat de l'échantillon.

Abstract: The kit includes an assembly device (1) for building prothesis shafts from different size prothesis stem and head sections (3, 4), forming a coupling between the stem and head sections that allows them to be arranged in different positions and angles relative to each other. Trial protheses (6) are included which can be assembled in different sizes to mimic the prothesis shafts, and these possess a releasable coupling that enables the position and angle of the trial prothesis head section relative to the stem section to be optimized once the trial prothesis has been fixed to the bone. The trial prothesis is then removed and the assembly device retains this optimized position and angle for the stem and head sections of an actual prothesis shaft. An Independent claim is also included for the assembly device.

Abstract: A reduction in deterioration of a switching element
over time in a current driving type emissive apparatus is
realized. At the same time, a reduction in power
consumption is realized. To this end, an AC voltage or an
alternating current is applied between a source and a drain
terminal of a switching element, and a DC voltage or a
direct current is applied between a first and a second
terminal of a luminescent element. This is realized by
application of a voltage, which is inverted at predetermined
intervals, to two luminescent elements heterogeneously
arranged, to a luminescent element and a rectifier arranged
in reverse orientation and in parallel, or to a full-wave
rectification circuit. At this time, the rectifier is
formed by a thin-film transistor, a PN junction, or a PIN
junction, and is formed simultaneously with an existing
switching element.

Abstract: Key distribution system for public key certificates. By a user A, registered at a server SV1, the public key of a user Y, registered at a server SV3, can be calculated from a public key of user Y signed with the secret key of SV3 ({Pky}SKsv3), a number of cross-certificates ({PKsv3}SKsv2, {PKsv2}SKsv1), and the public key (PKsv1) of server SV1. If the user must perform such a calculation himself, that would impose a substantial load on the processing capacity of his terminal. As an improvement, it is suggested, as a service to the users, to let the servers generate key certificates of external users not registered at the same server. The key certificates are thereto recertified into certificates which are digitally signed with the aid of the SK of the own server SV1 ({PKx}SKsv1) and are made available to the local users on request.

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a grained and anodised aluminium substrate coated with a metallic layer, preferably a silver layer, on top of which is applied a transparent cover sheet or layer of material. Imagewise exposure of the precursor by means of a high intensity laser beam allows for the direct provision of press-ready plates showing high image quality, good press properties and high durability on press without the requirement for the use of intermediate film and developer chemistry. The transparent cover sheet or layer of material enables the loosely bound debris which is produced in the exposed areas on imagewise exposure to be trapped, and thereby prevented from being released to the atmosphere.
