Abstract: Une installation de chauffage et/ou de conditionnement d'air pour véhicules à moteur comprend outre un détecteur de température au moins un détecteur d'humidité. Un premier détecteur de température (32) et un premier détecteur d'humidité (34) qui ajustent l'atmosphère intérieure jusqu'à des valeurs agréables sont agencés à l'intérieur (32) d'un véhicule à moteur (10). Un deuxième détecteur de température (38) et un deuxième détecteur d'humidité (40) agencés à l'extérieur du véhicule (10), de préférence dans le canal d'aspiration (16) de l'air extérieur, permettent de conditionner l'air aspiré avant que celui-ci ne soit insufflé dans l'espace intérieur (20). Un troisième détecteur de température (42) et un troisième détecteur d'humidité (44) agencés à proximité (24) des vitres permettent de reconnaître une baisse imminente ou déjà survenue de la température au-dessous du point de rosée sur le côté intérieur des vitres (11) du véhicule (10) et de prendre des dispositions appropriées. Le troisième détecteur de température (42) à proximité (24) des vitres peut être éliminé si la température des vitres est estimée sur la base d'une corrélation entre les températures intérieure et extérieure. On peut améliorer l'estimation en utilisant en outre les signaux d'un détecteur rayonnement (46). L'estimation peut être encore améliorée si la vitesse de déplacement du véhicule (10) est également saisie par un détecteur de vitesse (48).

Abstract: An optical scanning device (14) receives information from a page (11) of printed text (12) via an electrooptical transducer (16) and uses that information to fill a bit map in a memory device (102). In order to track the location of the optical scanner relative to the printed page, thus facilitating entry of information into the bit map, an optical mouse (19) is included in the scanner. In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, two optical mice (19, 150) are provided on the scanner (148) to indicate not only the position of the scanner relative to the page but also the angle that the scanner is held at relative to the page. The scanner can be used in conjunction with an optical character recognition device, a photocopying device, or any of a number of other devices. In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, indicia of location (210) are placed either on a transparent sheet or a mechanical constraint (200). A set of sensors (208) on an optical scanner (202) are adapted to sense this indicia but the sensors are spaced differently from the indicia, therefore indicating movement with very fine resolution.

Abstract: A reformer for catalytic cracking of gaseous hydrocarbons, in particular in the presence of water vapour, for obtaining a reconstituted gas, comprises a pressurized tank (1), a plurality of cracking tubes (2) parallel to one another in said tank, and a catalyst (PK). The heat convected through the tube walls and originating from a burning heating gas is transferred to the processing gas passing through the catalyst. In order to facilitate, on the one hand, the replacement of the catalyst, the heating gas (HG) is conveyed through the cracking tubes (2') and the catalyst (PK) is introduced into the pressurized tank (1) between the cracking tubes in the form of a loose material, and, on the other hand, in order to improve the support system for the cracking tubes, the tubes (2') are jointly supported with the catalyst (PK) vertically on a vault (5) made of ceramic material, provided with gas passages (5b) and defining a gas-collection space (9) for the reconstituted gas (PD). During use of the reformer as a primary reformer in a primary and secondary reformer installation, it is envisaged that in order to simplify said installation and improve thermal economy, the primary reformer (PR) and secondary reformer (SR) are arranged in a single pressurized tank (19) and that the reconstituted gas (PD) from the secondary reformer (SR) is fed to the primary reformer for the purpose of convection heating of the latter.

Abstract: Un commutateur non conducteur de gaz constitue une unité de section de bus destinée à être utilisé dans une sous-station. Dans un système à deux bus principaux, dans lequel des bus non conducteurs de gaz du type triphasé séquentiel sont juxtaposés sur le même plan de montage, l'invention s'applique à une structure dans laquelle les bus non conducteurs de gaz disposés de manière partagée sur le même axe sont reliés par des unités de section de bus. Un disjoncteur triphasé (5) est disposé pour chaque section de bus au niveau du côté de chaque bus non conducteur de gaz disposé de manière partagée, et une partie (3a) de réagencement de bus reliées à l'un des pricipaux bus divisés, est disposée au-dessus du bus principal non conducteur de gaz (2), situé dans le sens contraire du disjoncteur, et sert à connecter les bus principaux divisés. Cela permet de ne pas augmenter l'encombrement de l'unité de section de bus et de plus, d'améliorer la résistance aux vibrations.

Abstract: A self-blunting needle assembly (12) comprises a hollow needle, which may be of conventional construction having a needle mouth (16) and a needle shank (14) terminating in a puncture tip, has mounted within it a blunting member including an elongate probe (40) which slidably fits within the bore (34) of the needle shank (14). The probe (40) terminates in a distal tip (40a) which is initially positioned short of the puncture tip (32) of the needle so as not to interfere with injection of the needle either into a patient or into a connecting device. After injection, the blunting member is advanced to an extended position in which its distal tip (40a) protrudes beyond the puncture tip, thereby effectively blunting the needle. This protruding probe disables the needle from a re-use and blunts it sufficiently to prevent or greatly reduce accidental needlestick wounds. A mechanical extension member, such as a pin or fluid flowing through the needle may be used to advance the blunting member to its extended position.

Abstract: A process for capturing molecules at binding sites within gel microdroplets is disclosed. The process also allows measurement or isolation of cells based on the captured molecules. The process involves creation of gel microdroplets (gel microdroplets) with binding sites for molecules secreted or released from cells. Gel microdroplets can optionally be incubated, and then measured for the presence of molecules captured at the gel microdroplet binding sites. The process allows measurement, and isolation of cells based on measurement, or allows isolation without measurement. This invention also comprises gel microdroplets containing marker entities which enhance the measurement of gel microdroplets, as are processes for forming and using such gel microdroplets. A process for determination of biological entity growth is also disclosed. Further, a process for determining the effects of chemical compounds and agents on the growth of biological entities is disclosed. A process for rapidly enumerating viable biological entities is also disclosed, wherein viability is determined by the criterion of growth of biological entities contained in microdroplets, or by use of vital staining of biological entities contained in microdroplets.  In addition, a process for determination of the properties of biological entities of a mixed biological population is disclosed. The process involves creation of microdroplets which are small liquid or gel particles, such that at least some of the biological entities of the mixed population sample are separated by virtue of being contained individually, or in small numbers, within individual microdroplets. Still further, a process for manipulation of liquid and gel microdroplets is disclosed. The process involves formation of microdroplets such that physical forces based on particular interactions of the microdroplets with a surrounding non-aqueous fluid results can be used to alter the position of the microdroplets. Finally, a process for the chemical manipulation of liquid and gel microdroplets is disclosed. The process involves providing first microdroplets having aqueous interiors, such that the first microdroplets are surrounded by a non-aqueous fluid. The aqueous interior chemical composition of the first microdroplets is then manipulated by exposure to compounds soluble in both the non-aqueous and aqueous phases, or by exposure to emulsions or suspensions of second microdroplets such that contact between the first and second microdroplets is made.
