Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'identification d'un agent accroissant l'activité antimicrobienne de peptides cationiques antimicrobiens en bloquant les effets inhibiteurs du mécanisme d'action protéinase/glycosaminoglycanne, ce procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes consistant: (a) à préparer, en tant que premier composant, un peptide cationique antimicrobien, (b) à préparer, en tant que second composant, une bactérie, (c) à préparer en tant que troisième composant, une partie des composants, ou tous les composants d'un mécanisme d'action protéinase/glycosaminoglycanne, de façon que ce troisième composant réduise l'effet antimicrobien du premier composant, par exemple, un glycosaminoglycanne ou une bactérie, ou une bactérie et un protéoglycanne, ou une protéinase bactérienne, ou une protéinase bactérienne et un protéoglycanne, (d) à mettre en contact le premier, le second et le troisième composant avec un agent d'essai, dans des conditions qui permettent à l'agent antimicrobien de tuer la bactérie, en l'absence du troisième composant, et qui permettent au troisième composant d'inhiber l'activité antimicrobienne du premier composant, en l'absence de l'agent d'essai, et (e) à surveiller la survie de la culture bactérienne, de manière à déterminer ainsi si l'agent d'essai est capable d'accroître l'activité antimicrobienne lorsqu'un agent d'essai, capable d'accroître cette activité antimicrobienne favorise la mort de la culture bactérienne. Des agents identifiés à l'aide d'un tel procédé sont utiles dans la thérapie d'infections aiguës et chroniques, notamment pour traiter des ulcères et favoriser la cicatrisation.

Title: Procede et appareil de perforation de symboles de codes dans un systeme de communications
Inventor: RAZOUMOV LEONID
IPC: H04L1/08
Filed: 2001-06-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des techniques de perforation de symboles dans un système de communications. Les symboles sont reçus dans une trame à capacité de N symboles, S étant supérieur à N. Les P symboles doivent être perforés de sorte que les symboles restants s'intègrent correctement dans la trame. Un certain nombre de distances de perforation, de D1 à DN, sont calculées sur la base de S et P. Un nombre particulier de perforations de symboles est déterminé pour chaque distance de perforation calculée. Les perforations de symboles de P1 à PN sont ensuite réalisées dans les distances D1 à DN. Pour une distribution plus homogène des perforations de symboles, chaque distance de D1 à DN peut être sélectionnée pour être supérieure ou égale à une distance de perforation minimale Dmin définie par Dmin = [S/P], où [ ] indique un opérateur d'encombrement. Les perforations de symboles à chaque distance calculée peuvent être réalisées ensemble ou réparties avec des perforations de symboles sur d'autres distances. Dans une variante, un accumulateur est conçu pour s'enrouler après une incrémentation à une valeur S, chaque incrément étant égal à P. Un indice de symbole subit une incrémentation par un à chaque incrémentation de l'accumulateur par P, jusqu'à ce que l'indice de symbole dépasse la valeur S. Ce procédé débute avantageusement avec une perforation. A chaque enroulement de l'accumulateur, une autre perforation se produit.

Abstract: An implantable microvolt-level signal amplifying circuit may be
used for resolving electrical signals generated by nerves in the presence of
larger amplitude signals generated by muscles, the heart, or external noise
sources. The circuit has a low-noise, high Common Mode Rejection Ratio
(CMRR) preamplifier, followed by a cascade of stages, which provide
filtering and further amplification of neural signal. The band-pass amplifying
circuit can also present a high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The
output is offset-compensated by a DC restoration stage. Nerve protection
circuitry minimizes or blocks DC current flow through the input terminals in
the event of semiconductor failure in the preamplifier. The circuit may be
incorporated onto a common monolithic circuit with follow-up circuitry for
controlling Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) devices.

Abstract: An ink cartridge has a first partitioning wall 5 and a
third partitioning wall 7 for dividing the inside of a case
2 into a first ink chamber 9 and a second ink chamber 10,
and a second partitioning wall 6 for demarcating an
atmosphere connection chamber 11. In an upper case cover 3
are formed an ink filling hole 13 communicating with the
second ink chamber 10 and a pressure reduction hole 14
communicating with the atmosphere connection chamber 11.
Therefore, when ink filling is being done, the filling
apparatus and the pressure reduction apparatus need only be
brought to bear from one side of the upper case cover,
resulting in improved work efficiency. Ink filling can be
performed efficiently because the ink successively passes to
the second ink chamber 10 and the first ink chamber 9.
After ink filling, the ink filling hole 13 and the pressure
reduction hole 14 can easily be sealed off with sealing
material. An ink cartridge is thus provided that can be
