Abstract: An espagnolette bolting system for a door, window or like opening structure
comprises a first bolt movable between an operative position and an inoperative
position, a second bolt movable between an operative position and an inoperative
position, a first rack member (4) arranged to move the first bolt between said
operative and inoperative positions and vice versa, a second rack member (14)
arranged to move the second bolt between said operative and inoperative positions
and vice versa, a toothed quadrant (3) rotatably mounted in a case and arranged
to engage with a first toothed rack (5) on the first rack member (4), a spindle (12)
extending through the quadrant (3) and projecting from at least one side of the
case, a handle or lever (16) mounted on a or the projecting end of the spindle (12)
and a pinion (13) rotatably mounted in the case. Each of the rack members
(4, 14) is provided with a slot and a toothed rack (7, 15) is provided on one side
of each slot. The pinion (13) is located in the slots and is arranged to engage
with the toothed racks (7, 15). 
     When the spindle (12) is turned by the handle or lever (16), the quadrant (3) is
rotated and, by virtue of its engagement with the rack (5), is effective to move the
first rack member (4) which thus moves the first bolt. At the same time,
movement of the first rack member (4) is effective cause the pinion (13) to rotate
which in turn is effective to move the second rack member (14) which thus moves
the second bolt.

Abstract: This invention relates to an ultrasonic transducer (10;11) comprising an
ultrasonic transducer part (10';11') having a height and a width, and at least
one horn part (10'';11'') having one outside end and the other end attached to
the ultrasonic transducer part (10';11'), at least the height or the width of the

each other by a distance of about, or inferior to, half the wavelength (λ/2) of
the emitted ultrasonic radiation (Shannon Law). 
     Such an ultrasonic transducer array permits to solve prior art technical

Abstract: The susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection depends on the cell surface expression of the human CD4 molecule and a human fusion accessory factor associated with HIV infection (STRL33). STRL33 is a member of the 7-transmembrane segment superfamily of G-protein-coupled cell surface molecules. STRL33 plays a role in the membrane fusion step of HIV infection for both TCL-tropic and M-tropic variants of HIV. The invention provides STRL33 polypeptide and polynucleotide sequences encoding STRL33 polypeptide. The establishment of stable, nonhuman cell lines and transgenic mammals having cells that coexpress human CD4 and STRL33 provides valuable tools for the continuing research of HIV infection and the development of more effective anti-HIV therapeutics. In addition, antibodies against STRL33, isolated and purified peptide fragments of STRL33, and STRL33-binding biologic agents, capable of blocking membrane fusion between HIV target cells represent potential anti-HIV therapeutics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detecting apparatus
capable of detecting the position of a surface to be examined
at higher accuracy and speed. Particularly, the detecting
apparatus of the present invention allows a slit image, which
is tilted relative to a base pattern on the surface of a
substrate, to be applied to the surface of the substrate
and its reflection on the surface to be re-imaged and
recorded as a two-dimensional image on an image pick-up
device. In particular, a row of imaging elements of the
image pick-up device aligned in one dimension are arranged
with its direction extending at an angle to the lengthwise
direction of the two-dimensional image of the slit pattern
reflection. Also, the two-dimensional image of the slit
pattern reflection is defocused along the lengthwise
direction by the action of a specific optics thus to average
data of the optical characteristics on the surface of the
substrate. An exposure apparatus according to the present
invention is also provided capable of detecting the position
of a surface to be examined along the normal to the surface
from data of one dimensional image picked up by an image
pick-up device and may also use two beams of light which
interfere with each other for the purpose.

Abstract: Cet amplificateur optique, qui sert à amplifier plusieurs composantes de signal d'un faisceau optique à longueurs d'ondes multiples passant à travers une fibre optique, comporte une partie de sa fibre optique dopée avec un ion de terres rares, en vue d'amplifier le signal optique, dont le spectre de gain en fonction de la longueur d'onde est non uniforme. Cet amplificateur optique comprend en outre un module d'aplatissement de gain (GFM) servant à compenser le spectre de gain non uniforme de la fibre dopée, en atténuant chacun des canaux du signal amplifié pour égaliser le gain. Un module d'égalisation de gain (GEM) compense les fluctuations de gain variables dues à l'addition et à la soustraction des composantes de signal. Ce module d'égalisation de gain ajuste de façon dynamique chaque composante de signal du faisceau optique, pourque les amplitudes des composantes de signal soient sensiblement égales, en réponse à plusieurs signaux de commande. Chaque signal de commande est représentatif du degré d'atténuation nécessaire pour égaliser les composantes de signal. Les signaux de commande respectifs sont générés par un moniteur d'état de boucle (LSM) qui comprend un guide d'onde servant à démultiplexer le faisceau optique, ainsi qu'un alignement matriciel de détecteurs qui détermine l'amplitude de chaque composante de signal. Un contrôleur génère les signaux de commande en fonction de l'amplitude des composantes des signaux
