Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de localiser une défaillance survenue sur une des lignes d'un réseau moyenne tension, les lignes pouvant être constituées d'un certain nombre de branches chargées et dotées de sections de lignes intermédiaires. Selon l'invention, on peut déterminer l'impédance séquentielle positive de la ligne et une valeur fictive de l'impédance séquentielle positive de la ligne, vu de chaque branche à l'appui de la mesure centrale de la tension commune aux lignes et du courant total avant et après apparition de la défaillance. Lorsque la valeur fictive de deux branches consécutives passe d'une valeur positive à une valeur négative, cela signifie que la défaillance se trouve sur la section de ligne intermédiaire. La valeur fictive permet de déterminer la distance de la section de ligne à partir de la branche ayant la dernière valeur positive jusqu'à la défaillance, la distance totale jusqu'à la défaillance étant égale à la somme de toutes les sections de lignes jusqu'à la branche ayant la dernière valeur positive plus la distance de la section de ligne défaillante.

Abstract: A removable snowboard boot liner made from Ethyl Vinyl Acetate with an air bladder attached therein and a method of mass producing such liners. An oily chalk like substance consisting of 90% sweet starch, 9% lubricant and 1% stearate is included between the two sheets that make up the bladder. The bladder is attached to the EVA before the EVA is folded, stitched, heated and molded. This allows the bladder to be attached while the EVA is still flat and allows the attachment to be performed by machine stitching. The bladder is partially inflated before the EVA is heated and molded. The oily chalk like substance and the partial inflation of the bladder allows the installed bladder to pass through the heating and molding steps of the EVA without the two sheets that make up the bladder melting together. The invention also consists of a design and installation of the bladder that minimizes the amount of slipping of a wearer's foot and heal within the boot.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques permettant de conjuguer des protéines avec un polyéthylène glycol. Ce procédé fournit des protéines modifiées présentant une faible ou aucune réduction de leur activité, et consiste à supprimer au moins un résidu d'amino acide sur la protéine, à remplacer ce résidu par un résidu d'amino acide qui ne réagit pas avec le polyéthylène glycol, et à mettre la protéine en contact avec le polyéthylène glycol dans des conditions suffisantes pour conjuguer la protéine et le polyéthylène glycol. La rétention avantageuse d'une activité de protéine désirée est attribuée à l'aptitude d'un ou plusieurs sites de liaison de protéine qui ne sont pas altérés par le procédé de conjugaison, et qui n'interagissent donc pas avec un ligand partenaire de liaison ou un parent après le procédé de conjugaison.

In a first embodiment, the blade housing (4) includes a knife edged blade (11), a blade holder (9), plaque and flexible coupling structure . The snap tight coupling structure provides a self-positioning, secure attachment of the housing to existing compatible and accommodating microkeratomes. In a second embodiment, the blade housing (57) and cutting head are integral and include a knife edged blade (61), a blade holder (59), and a plaque. The blade housing/cutting head combination of the second embodiment is entirely disposable and fixedly secured to said motor. In both embodiments, the blade holder is acted upon by the motor and gearing to oscillate the blade holder in the housing. As the microkeratome advances ove r the eye, the plaque portion of the housing partially compresses the corneal just ahead of the blade. The partial compression produced by the plaque alon g with the blade define the shape and depth of the cornea resection. The disposable blade housing is fabricated from materials selected from a group consisting of polymers, composites and ceramics.
