Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the manufacture of paint rollers by winding a textile fabric (3) onto a plastic tube (2) along a spiral- shaped line. According to the invention, a number of tube elements (6), having a length suitable for a paint roller, are slipped onto a revolving mandrel (1). The tube elements are clamped together so as to engage one another and so as to allow them to be rotated together with the mandrel (1). The mandrel is rotated at the same time as the fabric is wound on and attached to the tube elements, after which the fabric is cut at the joints (8) between the tube elements. Due to the invention, the cutting can be performed in the same machine without the risk of damaging the mandrel. As the cutting is made through the fabric only, this entails much less knife wear and is less energy- consuming. Preferably, the tube elements have a toothing at their axial ends for mechanical interconnection at the joints between the tube elements and with the mandrel (1).

Title: Self-encoding fiber optic sensor
Inventor: DICKINSON TODD A
IPC: G01N21/62
Filed: 1998-10-06
Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: A microsphere-based analytic chemistry system is disclosed in which self-encoding microspheres having distinct characteristic optical response signatures to specific target analytes may be mixed together while the ability is retained to identify the sensor type and location of each sensor in a random dispersion of large numbrs of such sensors in a sensor array using an optically interrogatable encoding scheme.      An optical fiber bundle sensor is also disclosed in which individual microsphere sensors are disposed in microwells at a distal end of the fiber bundle and are optically coupled to discrete fibers or groups of fibers within the bundle. The identifies of the individual sensors in the array are self-encoded by exposing the array to a reference analyte while illuminating the away with excitation light energy. A single sensor array may carry thousands of discrete sensing elements whose combined signal provides for substantial improvements in sensor detection limits, response times and signal-to-noise ratios.

Title: Method of altering nutritional components of milk produced by a lactating animal
Inventor: CHOUINARD P YVAN
IPC: A61K31/10
Filed: 1998-06-23
Granted: 2008-09-09
Abstract: The present invention alters mammary synthesis of fat to improve milk qualit y. These changes in milk composition represent improvements in nutritional quality consistent with contemporary dietary recommendations. Of special importance is the disclosure of new data relating to specific conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), potent naturally occuring anti-carcinogens. In the course of an investigation to enhance milk content of conjugated linoleic acid, it was discovered that abomasal infusion of a single TFA isomer caused a marked milk fat depression. This observation was unexpected because the prior art has consistently shown that body fat and milk fat always show reciprocal changes in lactating cows and indicated that CLA's generally reduced body fa t in growing animals. The current disclosure demonstrates that an increase in milk fat content of a specific TFA isomer, trans-10 C18: 1. (Griinari et a1., 1997, 1998) causes MFD. This observation is in conflict with the prior art that taught that an increase in total TFA caused MFD. These results are applicable to other domestic lactating mammals (e.g., pigs). Upon the infusion of CLA, a portion of the CLA is transferred to the mammary gland and incorporated into milk fat. Hence, the methods disclosed increase the levels of CLA found in milk, thereby improving the nutritional benefits to human health associated with CLA.

Abstract: The instability of the mean wavelength of a superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) is reduced by randomizing the polarization of light from a pump source or by using polarization maintaining components. In one embodiment, the polarization of a pump source is made more random, leading to greater stability of the mean wavelength of the SFS, with an output mean wavelength that is stable to better than 3 ppm for full rotation of the pump polarization state. In another embodiment, the polarization of optical radiation throughout the device is kept substantially constant by using polarization maintaining fiber and components, thereby leading to enhanced mean wavelength stability of the SFS.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for delaying the pylorus passage of orally administered medicament forms. Said device comprises a component which expands upon contact with the gastric juice and a polymer coat which is permeable to liquids but not to gases. The device can contain an active substance whose release into the gastric juice is mainly controlled by the medicament form into which it is incorporated. Unlike conventional medicament forms with delayed pylorus passage, the release of the active substance does not so much depend on the kind and structure of the polymer coat but is mainly determined by the incorporated medicament form. The inventive device can be easily rolled or folded and can be filled into capsules.

Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for providing automatic frequency tuning for an RF electrode accelerating system in a cyclotron device (3) for production of PET isotopes. A controlled frequency oscillator (5) generates an RF signal of a predetermined frequency for the acceleration of an ion beam in the cyclotron, and a matche d power transmission line (2) connects to and feeds the RF electrode system (10). A load phase sensor (8) connected between the RF signal generator and the matched power transmission line (2) feeds a detected load phase to a feedback amplifier (9 ), which produces an error signal connected to the controlled frequency oscillator (5 ) for a fine tuning of the frequency of the controlled frequency oscillator, whereby the frequency of the RF power signal is continuously optimised for a maximum transfer of high voltage driving to the RF electrode accelerating system of the cyclotron.

Abstract: A part is manufactured from a composite material containing an aluminum alloy as a metal matrix. Blanks are prepared from a billet of the composite material, and worked on in a press, while they are held at a temperature ranging from the solidus temperature, Ta, of the aluminum alloy minus 50 (Ta - 50) deg. C to Ta deg. C. At a temperature below (Ta - 50), the blanks have too high a resistance to plastic deformation to be easily worked on. At a temperature over Ta, a liquid phase is produced and makes the blanks likely to crack easily during plastic deformation.

Les paramètres concernés sont notamment la charge sur l'outil ou "WOB" (pour "weight-on-bit"), le couple sur l'outil ou "TOB" (pour "torque-on-bit"), la flexion sur l'outil ou "BOB" (pour "bending-on-bit"), la pression annulaire, la pression interne du puits, les vibrations triaxiales ou "DDS" (pour "drilling dynamics sensor"), la température annulaire, la température de la cellule de charge (10a, 10c), et la température au niveau du diamètre intérieur (8) de la masse-tige (12). On se sert également d'un détecteur de vibration triaxial et d'une batterie de magnétomètres (72) pour déterminer le sens de la mesure de la flexion sur l'outil par rapport au bord inférieur du trou pendant la rotation (ou à l'arrêt). Le dispositif de l'invention associe entre elles plusieurs sondes manométriques (74), thermiques et d'autres sondes permettant de recueillir les paramètres considérés et de les présenter à l'opérateur de forage de façon à fournir une vue aussi exacte que possible des paramètres de forage en fond de trou, sous une forme thermiquement isolés (66) de l'influence thermique du fluide de forage (66), et ce, grâce à une mesure en paroi du puits (64).
