Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'analyser l'écoulement d'une matière dans un réseau d'assainissement, qui déterminent une première vitesse d'écoulement à un premier emplacement et une seconde vitesse d'écoulement à un second emplacement. A l'aide d'un processeur, on détermine la durée du parcours entre les deux emplacements uniquement sur la base des vitesses d'écoulement et d'une constante. La durée du parcours peut servir à déterminer de manière sensiblement exacte le débit net entre les deux emplacements.

Title: A method for treating or preventing a functional vitamin b12 deficiency in an individual and medical compositions for use in said method
Inventor: MCCADDON ANDREW
IPC: A61K31/7076

Granted: 2010-10-12
Abstract: A method and medical composition for the treatment and/or prevention of a functional Vitamin B12 deficiency in an individual that is brought about as a consequence of oxidative stress on biochemical pathways. The functional Vitamin B12 deficiency may eventually present as dementia, other neuropsychiatric abnormality and/or vascular disease. The method involves the administration of a medical composition that supplies a cobalt-sulphur bond in the upper .beta.-ligand of an intracellular cobalamin molecule thereby facilitating intracellular processing of cobalamin. The cobalt-sulphur bond may be provided directly by administration of a thiolatocobalamin, such as glutathionyl-cobalamin or indirectly by the co-administration of Vitamin B12 (or a derivative thereof) with a sulphur-containing molecule, such as glutathione or a precursor thereof.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif à boire jetable qui comprend une tasse. La tasse définit une cavité et comprend une ouverture qui communique à la cavité de la tasse, ainsi qu'un bord de tasse annulaire relié à l'ouverture de ladite tasse. Le bord de tasse comprend une courbe de bord en forme de lèvre et un évasement. Lorsque la courbe du bord de tasse a une configuration en lèvre, la courbe, de forme arquée et concave, se prolonge hors de l'ouverture de tasse pour former une lèvre sur le bord de la tasse. Lorsque la courbe de bord de tasse est configurée en évasement, la courbe, de forme arquée et convexe, se prolonge hors de l'ouverture de la tasse pour former un évasement de bord. La configuration décrite provoque la destruction du bord de tasse lorsque le couvercle est retiré de la tasse, ce qui rend impossible la remise du couvercle sur la tasse par la suite.

Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: The method comprises a first stage of transforming carbon precursor material into carbon by heating, with the resulting gaseous effluent being extracted continuously, and a second stage of high temperature heat treatment under low pressure with the resulting gaseous effluent being extracted continuously. The first and second stages are performed one after the other in the same oven (10) by proceeding, after the end of the first stage, with the steps of switching the gaseous effluent outlet from the oven to interrupt a connection with a first extractor device (40) and to establish a connection with a second extractor device (60), of adjusting the pressure inside the oven to the value required for the second stage, and of adjusting the heating temperature of the oven starting from the temperature reached at the end of the first stage. It is also possible to switch temperature measurement from at least one first sensor (90a-90d) to at least one second sensor (94a, 94b) different from the first. During the second stage, any alkali metal such as sodium contained in sublimed form in the gaseous effluent coming from the oven can be neutralized, e.g. by injecting CO2 into an effluent exhaust pipe (64).

Patent CA-2474556-C (CA)
Inventor: KO CHENG C
IPC: H01L31/105
Filed: 2003-02-03
Granted: 2014-10-07
Abstract: The present invention includes a photodiode (10) having a first p-type semiconductor layer (14) and an n-type semiconductor layer (18) coupled by a second p-type semiconductor layer (16). The second p-type semiconductor layer (16) has graded doping along the path of the carriers. In particular, the doping is concentration graded from a high value (15) near the anode to a lower p concentration (17) towards the cathode (22). By grading the doping in this way, an increase in absorption is achieved, improving the responsivity of the device. Although this doping increases the capacitance relative to an intrinsic semiconductor of the same thickness, the pseudo electric field that is created by the graded doping gives the electrons a very high velocity which more than compensates for this increased capacitance.
