Title: Current conducting system
IPC: H01R25/14
Filed: 1988-01-19
Granted: 1991-10-16
Abstract: A current conducting system, in particular for lighting systems of the most varied types, has a current conducting rod, at least 50 % of the cross-section area thereof being occupied by at least two mutually-isolated metallic current conductors. Thus it is possible to work with high current densities, especially when using the current conducting system in the low voltage range. The current conducting rod is preferably round, so that holding clamps that carry electric consumers such as lamps, fans, etc. can be rotated thereon. Advantageous implementations of the holders allow the holders to swing as well, so that the user is virtually free to arrange and position the electric consumer as he wishes.

Abstract: Un système de bioréacteur continu à membranes intégrées utile pour cultiver des hybridomes ou des cellules de mammifères, qui satisfait les besoins nutritionnels et physiques des hybridomes et des cellules de mammifères, permet de récolter les produits et maintient l'intégrité de la stérilité du système, comprend plusieurs appareils individuels ayant des fonctions séparées associées en une seule unité fonctionnelle intégrée. Le caractère essentiel de ce bio-réacteur est la dimension réduite de l'enceinte de cellules, obtenue grâce à la haute densité de cellules agencées dans une construction à couches de membranes et grâce au système d'alimentation et d'évacuation en continu du milieu nutritif qui réduit au maximum le volume de milieu nutritif contenu dans le bioréacteur. Un rendement maximisé de produit par unité de volume minimise l'espace nécessaire pour loger le bioréacteur. L'oxygène est transporté à travers le bioréacteur au même titre que l'air ou d'autres mélanges de gaz, plutôt qu'en dissolution dans le milieu nutritif.

Title: Process and device improving the sliding of alternating pistons of thermal engines
IPC: F16J9/08
Filed: 1988-11-17
Granted: 1993-06-23
Abstract: In a process for improving the sliding of alternating pistons of thermal engines while counteracting the tilting movement of said pistons, a pressure gradient is generated by the action of vibrating elastic means (1, 1a) resistant to the thermal and chemical stresses produced by the explosion, and by the usual infiltration of the driving gases into the piston groove, said means being mounted behind the piston ring. The pressure gradient results in the formation of a permanent pressurized toric seal during operation of the engine.
