Patent EP-0763891-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HEDBERG MATS OLOF JOAKIM
IPC: H03H11/24
Filed: 1995-09-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting arrangement (50, 60) comprising a number of NMOS transistors that can be activated or deactivated by means of a control voltage (67), serving as a control signal, connected to the gate terminals of transistors (NT54, NT55), to be able to form a circuit connected between two conductors (L1, 0), the circuit presenting resistive properties. The circuit (50) is equipped with a signal receiver (40) and it is regulated by an analog control voltage (67). The control voltage is connectable (through 61) to one or several of a number of available control connections (51). Each control connection (51) is connected to the gate terminals of a group of transistors (NT54, NT55) where the drain and source terminals are connected to said conductors (L1, 0). The control voltage (51) is selected so that the operating point of the transistors will be within, or at least close to, the region where the transistor presents resistive properties.

Abstract: There is provided an environmentally stable detergent article. Normally, hygroscopic caustic detergent materials can be made resistant to absorption of ambient humidity or water by introducing a barrier coating onto the caustic detergent. The barrier also renders the highly active alkaline material safe for human handling. The coated detergent article can further be enclosed in a film enclosure or wrapping which provides further protection for handling during production, shipment, storage and final end use. The coated article can be removed from any packaging material, inserted into a water spray-on dispenser and used to create a concentrated aqueous detergent for use in ware washing machines. In order to obtain control over dispensing, hydrophobic coatings can be nicked, split, peeled or partially removed using other means to provide an initial surface of caustic detergent exposed to the water spray. The water spray can then dispense the detergent and either melt or dissolve the hydrophobic coating in a controlled manner.

IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 1995-03-23
Abstract: In a known drive arrangement in which the switching-off process is initiated after actuation, for example, of an electromagnet by a pin secured to an "off"-trigger shaft as a result of rotation of the latter, thereby enabling a roller of the switching lever to run past the "off"-trigger shaft, the switching-off process occurs when the switching lever has rotated back and the articulated lever systems have moved out of the extended position. However, as the switching lever moves past, it strikes the "off"-trigger shaft. In order to reduce the resultant wear of the "off"-trigger shaft (6) and to actuate the wiping contact (11') associated with the "off"-trigger shaft (6) only during the switching-off process, so as to attain an even greater number of switching cycles, the switching lever (1) has a circular segment (7) with the peripheral surface (9) of which the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is operationally connected in any position of the switching lever (1). Detachably mounted on the "off"-trigger shaft (6) is a trigger bar (11) for connecting and disconnecting a wiping contact (11'). The drive arrangement can also be used for small oil-volume power circuit breakers.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des mutations génétiques des gènes à l'origine de la cytochrome-c-oxydase du mitochondre, ces mutations génétiques étant différentes suivant qu'il s'agit de la maladie d'Alzheimer, du diabète sucré, de la maladie de Parkinson ou d'autres maladies d'origine mitochondriale. L'invention concerne des procédés de détection de ces mutations, soit avant, soit après l'apparition des symptômes cliniques. L'invention, qui concerne également un traitement des désordres fonctionnels de la cytochrome-c-oxydase, comporte une description de lignées cellulaires cybrides utilisables comme système de modélisation pour l'étude des affections mitochondriales. Les cybrides sont obtenus par recombinaison, d'abord en traitant des lignées immortelles de cellules au moyen d'un agent supprimant de façon irréversible les transferts mitochondriaux d'électrons, puis en transfectant les cellules au moyen du mitochondre isolé à partir d'échantillons de tissus malades. L'un de ces cybrides a été obtenu par recombinaison à partir des cellules du neuroblastome et du mitochondre d'un patient souffrant de la maladie d'Alzheimer. L'invention concerne ensuite des procédés d'utilisation de tels cybrides pour le criblage des médicaments et des thérapies utilisables pour le traitement de tels troubles. Enfin, l'invention concerne des animaux cybrides, des procédés de production correspondants, des procédés d'utilisation desdits animaux pour le criblage des médicaments et le criblage en vue d'une thérapie.

Filed: 1995-04-04
Abstract: L'invention décrit des systèmes de crépine utilisés pour distribuer un gaz à l'intérieur de systèmes de traitement tels que filtres à drain de sortie (50) et clarificateurs par contact. La crépine est maintenue en place par en-dessus, ce qui permet de l'abaisser pour la mettre dans la position voulue et, ainsi, de la modifier ou de la réparer. De plus, cette caractéristique permet d'installer après coup une crépine dans un système existant, tel qu'un filtre à drain de sortie, dans lequel le lit de substances (60) recouvre le drain de sortie (50) et n'est pas dérangé par cette installation. L'invention concerne ainsi également des procédés d'installation ou d'installation après coup de systèmes de crépine. Un autre aspect de la présente invention concerne une crépine constituée d'un collecteur d'air (108) relié à des conduites d'air secondaires (110) par une rampe (109) introduite à travers un orifice lisse dans les parois du collecteur, ce qui permet d'obtenir une structure simple et facile à fabriquer qui évite les problèmes rencontrés avec des composants de l'état antérieur de la technique.

Date Jul. 4, 1996In order to treat water contaminated with warfare agents and containing less than 500 ppm of salt, a separation stage 10 is normally provided downstream of the reverse osmosis. In the separation stage, the untreated water is divided into residue and permeate. Warfare agents have the property of acting as softeners on the semi-permeable organic polymer membranes of separation stages. As a result of this, the warfare agents pass through the membranes of separation stages in increasing quantities once the latter have been in operation for a few hours. In order to improve the treatment of water contaminated with warfare agents, salt is added to the untreated water which, with a salt content of over 1000 ppm, is then drawn through the separation stage 10 down stream of the reverse osmosis stage. The invention is suitable for use with mobile facilities used for producing drinking water.
