Abstract: A method and library for determining the sequence of monomers in a polymer which is complementary to a receptor. The method provides for formation of pooled (6) and separate (10, 12) products. Separate products are subjected only to subsequent pooled coupling steps. Each pooled product is subsequently divided for formation of pooled and separate products. The resulting polymer library includes groups of polymer products. A first group of products (42) is used to identify the monomer at a first location in a polymer that is complementary to a receptor. A second group of products (44) is used to identify the monomer at a second location in a polymer that is complementary to a receptor.

Abstract: Procédé de fabrication d'une conduite souple en résine permettant d'omettre l'étape d'ébavurage de finition, grâce à un système prévenant les fuites de matériaux causant des bavures sur le produit final, lors de l'opération de soufflage-extrusion d'une conduite souple et du moulage par injection d'un élément d'étanchéité. Ces deux procédés sont utilisés pour ne pas avoir à effectuer un polissage pour obtenir un contour approprié de la surface interne de l'élément d'étanchéité au niveau duquel une conduite souple en résine est raccordée à un tube. Le procédé selon l'invention permet d'améliorer l'exactitude des dimensions du produit et d'empêcher que des bavures ne se produisent au cours de l'opération de moulage par injection. Pour obtenir ce résultat, une résine thermoplastique est extrudée par soufflage pour former une conduite souple (12), laquelle est ensuite placée dans un moule à injection (20) comportant un élément de moulage interne (24) et un élément de moulage externe (22). La matière est ensuite injectée dans la cavité de moulage (26) du côté d'une ouverture de cette conduite souple (12), l'élément de moulage interne (24) étant monté étanche dans l'ouverture de la conduite souple (12) grâce à des éléments d'étanchéité (28, 30, 40, 42), de manière à mouler un élément garantisant l'étanchéité de la conduite en résine par rapport au tube associé et à combiner cet élément d'étanchéité avec la conduite souple (12) pour former une seule et même pièce.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de commande d'un générateur de courant (1) connecté à une charge (6). Dans le cas où l'impédance de la charge est inférieure à une première valeur, le générateur est commandé selon un mode de non-rétroaction afin de générer un signal, dont la valeur du courant est déterminée par la tension d'entrée. D'autre part, lorsque l'impédance de la charge est supérieure à une seconde valeur elle-même supérieure à la première, le signal de sortie est ramené en négatif afin de générer un signal à la sortie, dont la valeur de la tension est déterminée par la tension d'entrée. Ainsi le signal de sortie est automatiquement adapté au mode désiré de fonctionnement de l'appareil récepteur (5). L'invention se rapporte également à un appareil permettant d'effectuer le procédé.

The supply of oil from the axial portion of the spool enables no side force to be applied, thereby reducing the frictional force and to enhance the sealability between the valve housing (1) and the spool (7). <IMAGE>
