Abstract: There is disclosed a method for moving an optical head from an initial track (10) to a target track (11) on a storage medium (1). The total number of tracks (3) to be crossed is determined, and the optical head is moved toward the target track (11). A reflectivity level of light from the storage medium (1) is measured, and a tracking error signal is derived from the reflectivity level. The tracking error signal has both true and false indicators of track crossings. A data indicator signal is derived from the reflectivity level, having indicator points corresponding to the false indicators of track crossings. A track count number is incremented for each true indicator of a track crossing, and the optical head is stopped when the track count number equals the total number of tracks (3) to be crossed. Another method is disclosed whereby a track count signal is generated from the tracking error signal and the data indicator signal. The track count signal indicates track crossings corresponding to the true track crossing indicators in the tracking error signal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif produisant un gaz pour un air-bag monté dans un véhicule ou similaire, pour injecter un gaz dans l'air-bag afin de protéger le conducteur ou les passagers en cas de collision. Le dispositif pour produire un gaz pour un air-bag allume un fluide inflammable afin que ses produits de combustion gonflent l'air-bag (3) par l'augmentation de la pression du fluide due à l'augmentation de la température provoquée par la combustion. Ce dispositif comprend un réservoir (5), (9) pour recevoir un fluide inflammable (7), un évent (8) prévu sur le réservoir, un obturateur (13) pour fermer l'évent, et une unité d'allumage (14) coopérant avec le réservoir. La combustion augmente la pression dans le réservoir jusqu'à rompre l'obturateur pour permettre au mélange de fluide en cours de combustion de se répandre rapidement et efficacement dans l'air-bag.

Abstract: Dans un récepteur, il s'effectue sur un signal d'entrée (R), à la fois une conversion A/N (ADC) et une division de phase (PSF), aux fins d'obtention d'une paire de signaux numériques (Xd, Yd), mutuellement déphasés. Cette paire de signaux numériques (Xd, Yd) est ensuite traitée (VSP) en tant que signal vectoriel au moyen d'une caractéristique de fréquence qui est asymétrique par rapport à la fréquence zéro. Afin que ce récepteur soit tout à fait approprié à des fréquences relativement basses d'échantillonnage de conversion A/N, le déphasage (PSF) s'effectue avant la conversion A/N (ADC).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'identifier une ou plusieurs séquences qui diffèrent par un ou plusieurs changements, insertions, effacements ou translocations de base, dans plusieurs séquences nucléotidiques cibles. Ce procédé comprend une phase de ligature, une phase de capture et une phase de détection. La phase de ligature fait appel à la réaction de détection de ligature entre une première sonde d'oligonucléotide, laquelle possède une partie spécifique à la séquence cible ainsi qu'une partie spécifique à un réseau adressable, et une seconde sonde d'oligonucléotide qui possède une partie spécifique à la séquence cible ainsi qu'un marqueur détectable. Après la phase de ligature, on procède à la phase de capture en hybridant à un support solide les sondes d'oligonucléotide ligaturées, ceci à l'aide d'un réseau d'oligonucléotides de capture immobilisés dont quelques-uns au moins sont complémentaires à la partie spécifique au réseau adressable. Une fois la phase de capture terminée, on lance la phase de détection afin de détecter les marqueurs des sondes d'oligonucléotide ligaturées qui ont été hybridées au support solide. La phase de ligature peut être précédée d'un processus d'amplification. Cette invention concerne également un nécessaire permettant de mettre en oeuvre ce procédé, un procédé de formation de réseaux sur des supports solides, ainsi que les supports solides eux-mêmes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two part multifunctional closing system for tubes. Said system is made of injection-molded plastic material and can be used particularly in containers (1) that are to be closed, preferably tubes and small bottles, especially those containing cream, salve or liquid material. Said system is tamper-proof and non-detachable and solves existing problems relating to the positioning of said systems. The closing element consists of a cylindrical bottom part (2) and an upper part (3) organically coupled by a flexible band (23) in such a way that the lower part (2) has a third cylindrical coating element (4) ending in a tubular dosing head (7) fitted with a thread on the inner jacket. A flange is formed above said coating element on the toothing (8) arranged on the outer jacket, which is inserted in the circular orifice (22) configured on the bottom part (2) of the closing element. The coating element is attached by a screw thread to free head part of the container (1) to be closed that is fitted with a thread. The top part (3) of the closing element has a tamper-proof element (20) having a wedge shape on its horizontal part and an U-shape suspending downwards from the opening and closing orifice (16) projecting downwards in the side opposite to the flexible band (23). Said tamper-proof element is attached to the two limbs by means of a tear-off point in the closing and opening orifice (16). The rotating wedge (10) formed on the top part (3) of the closing element prevents the material from smearing the surroundings of the mouth opening of the dosing head when the dosing head (7) is excessively bent.
