Abstract: L'invention concerne différentes utilisations d'une composition de colorant photoeffaçable, à savoir par exemple: marquage de prix photoeffaçable pour des marchandises, impression de document tels que des billets de jeux afin de garantir la transmission sûre d'une information cachée, fabrication de peinture photoeffaçable pour la signalisation temporaire sur un terrain ou sur des supports tels que les panneaux, la chaussée des routes, des arbres et les bâtiments, la fabrication d'instruments de marquage tels que les stylos et les marqueurs à mèches ou à pointes de feutre, la fabrication d'indicateur d'exposition à la lumière ultraviolette et l'impression à sec. La composition de colorant photoeffaçable ou mutable comprend un colorant mutable et un matériau de transorption (absorption/transformation) de rayonnement ultraviolet qui, sous exposition au rayonnement ultraviolet, absorbe et transforme le colorant pour entraîner une mutation irréversible et, de ce fait, rendre ledit colorant sensiblement sans couleur. La composition de colorant mutable peut aussi comprendre une molécule-cage.

Title: Polyurethane polyols and coatings thereof having reduced viscosity
Inventor: WAGSTAFF IAN
IPC: C08G18/28
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a film forming composition, a method of forming the composition, and application of the composition to coating formulations which provide a cured coating having acid rain resistance. A film-forming polyurethane polyol composition comprises a reaction product of an n-functional isocyanate (wherein n is a number ranging from about 2 to about 5) with at least one diol or triol or mixtures thereof and a compound containing isocyanate-reactive functional groups, preferably a monofunctional alcohol or thiol. The low viscosity polyurethane polyol of the present invention is typically cross-linked/cured using a melamine to produce a cured coating which is highly acid etch resistant as well as having other desirable physical-mechanical properties. The coating compositions have improved flow characteristics compared to compositions containing polyurethane polyols prepared without the monofunctional alcohols or thiols.

Title: Methode et materiel pour la gestion de fichiers de donnees
Inventor: BESSETTE LUC
IPC: G16H40/67
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système pour le stockage de dossiers médicaux. Les dossiers sont stockés dans une base de données sur un serveur. Chaque dossier inclut deux parties principales, à savoir un ensemble d'éléments de données contenant des informations de nature médicale relatives à un individu, et une pluralité de pointeurs indiquant des adresses ou des emplacements distants où se trouvent d'autres données médicales concernant cet individu en particulier. Chaque dossier inclut également un élément de données indiquant le type basique de données médicales présentes à l'emplacement pointé par un pointeur particulier. Cet agencement permet à un poste de travail client de télécharger le dossier avec l'ensemble de pointeurs qui relient le client aux fichiers stockés à distance. L'identification du type basique d'informations pointées par chaque pointeur permet au médecin de sélectionner les informations d'intérêt et ainsi d'éviter de télécharger des volumes massifs de données dont seule une partie est nécessaire à cet instant. De plus, cette structure de dossier permet d'effectuer des interrogations statistiques sans avoir à accéder aux données derrière les pointeurs.  titre d'exemple, une interrogation peut être élaborée à partir de clés, dont l'une concerne le type de données pointées par un pointeur. L'interrogation peut donc être effectuée uniquement sur la base des pointeurs et des informations restantes dans le dossier.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for excising, a targeted tissue mass to be biopsied from adjacent bodily tissue of a surgical patient is disclosed. The instrument has an elongated shaft to which is attached a penetrating member having a penetrating tip to facilitate the insertion of the shaft adjacent the targeted tissue mass. The instrument also includes a tissue receiving chamber to receive the targeted tissue mass to be biopsied, and a tissue cutter movable from first to second positions to excise the targeted tissue received in the tissue receiving chamber.
