Abstract: A new series of portable electric tools using high frequency three-phase
induction motors with built-in power electronic converter are used to power a
range of portable tools like Drills, Grinders, etc. The tools operate from a single
phase AC mains and a built-in power electronic circuitry converts the input
supply to a three-phase, higher frequency (200 - 400 Hz) supply, which is used
to drive a three-phase induction motor connected to the gearbox. A
microprocessor-based controller, with a novel algorithm, generates three-phase,
sinusoidal output waveforms and also provides the soft-start feature for the
inverter and the motor. The entire electronics is packaged in a novel way within
the housing of the tool itself. The output shaft of the motor, either directly or
through a gearbox, can be connected to a wide range of tools like Drills,
Grinders, Nut Runners, Screw Drivers, Impact Wrenches, Shears, Nibblers,
Saws, Sanders, polishers, etc.

Abstract: A method for counting leukocytes which comprises liberating
elastase from granulocytes contained in a specimen, adding an anti-granulocyte
elastase antibody to the thus liberated elastase, measuring the
antibody bonded to the elastase to thereby determine the concentration of

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de prévention ou de traitement d'une infection à virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH), dont une nouvelle infection ou une infection asymptomatique ainsi que le SIDA. Ladite méthode consiste à administrer à un mammifère en ayant besoin, une dose efficace pour traiter ou prévenir l'infection à VIH, d'un composé ester de η-L-glutamyl-L-cystéine de formule (I), dans laquelle R représente un groupe hydrocarbure à chaîne droite, ramifiée ou cyclique, possédant 1 à 10 atomes de carbone, ou un groupe hydrocarbure à chaîne droite ou ramifiée, possédant 1 à 5 atomes de carbone substitués par un groupe aromatique; ou le dimère obtenu par déshydrogénation entre deux esters η-L-glutamyl-L-cystéine de formule (I). Ledit composé est connu en tant qu'anti-oxydant, agissant soit directement, soit en tant que promédicament spécial au GSH, et permet d'obtenir des effets préventifs ou thérapeutiques contre la maladie du foie, la cataracte, les lésions de perfusion répétée au niveau du coeur et du foie, l'arythmie et l'asthme. On a découvert que le composé de l'invention présente des nouvelles propriétés en tant qu'agent anti-VIH; c'est-à-dire qu'il est capable de contrecarrer les quatre facteurs critiques dans la propagation du VIH: il inactive le VIH-1 lui-même, bloque l'infection aiguë, réprime la production de virus par les cellules infectées et tue sélectivement les cellules productrices de VIH, ce dont aucun agent chimiothérapeutique anti-VIH, dont les anti-oxydants, n'a jamais été capable. Ainsi, le composé de l'invention permet une approche excellente de la prévention ou du traitement de l'infection à VIH, dont le SIDA.
