Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble à collecteur double pour le transfert rapide, en parallèle, de réactifs liquides d'une plaque de microtitration vers un dispositif micro-électronique transistorisé comportant des capteurs intégrés. Cet ensemble comprend des collecteurs d'aspiration et de distribution reliés par une pluralité de conduits. En cours de fonctionnement, le collecteur d'aspiration est actionné de manière à être placé sur un ensemble de puits remplis de réactif de la plaque de microtitration. Lesdits puits sont mis sous pression de manière que le réactif soit expulsé par les conduits en direction du collecteur de distribution. Une impulsion de pression délivrée par une tête d'impression à jet d'encre normalisée éjecte des gouttelettes de réactif, d'un volume allant du nanolitre au picolitre, par un ensemble d'orifices pour têtes d'impression et à destination de sites d'essai situés à la surface dudit dispositif micro-électronique.

Abstract: In an outboard marine drive, an engine is supported on an engine mount case, and an under cover made of plastic material having a lower end attached to the engine mount case defines an open upper end which engages an open lower end of an engine cover also made of plastic material. A metallic stay member having a lower end fixedly attached to the engine mount case which is typically made of cast aluminum alloy and an upper end fixedly supporting a support rail reinforces the open upper end of the under cover. Thus, the essential part is reinforced by a metallic member, and the required mechanical strength can be achieved while minimizing the increase in weight. The upper end of the stay member may be used for attaching a latch unit for securing the engine cover to the under cover or the engine mount case.

Abstract: Conjugates of a hydrophobic moiety, such as a lipid, linked through a cleavable dithiobenzyl linkage to a therapeutic agent are described. The dithiobenzyl linkage is susceptible to cleavage by mild thiolysis, resulting in release of the therapeutic agent in its original form. The linkage is stable under nonreducing conditions. The conjugate can be incorporated into liposomes for administration in vivo and release of the therapeutic agent in response to endogeneous in vivo reducing conditions or in response to administration of an exogeneous reducing agent.

Title: Data transmission in pipeline systems
Inventor: JOINSON DANIEL
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2000-06-30
Granted: 2007-09-18
Abstract: A first set of apparatus is arranged for transmitting data from a point in a cased section of a well (1, 3) to a remote location. The apparatus may be used as a relay station (6) to increase operational depth. Signals are applied to and received from the string (1) at the relay station (6) and a selected length of the string (1) is provided with insulating spacer means (9) on either side of the relay station to ensure that the string (1) and casing (3) are effectively isolated for a selected minimum distance. This enables potential differences to be both applied to and detected from the string (1), thus allowing data transmission and reception. A second set of apparatus (figure 8) is arranged for transmitting from an internal unit (408) inside a cased section of the well (401, 403) to the immediate surrounding area outside the casing (403). The internal unit (408) injects current into the string (401). A toroid (415) which surrounds the casing (403) is provided to pick up signals. Spaced connections between the string (401) and casing (403) are provided by conductive packers (411). A mismatch in the current flowing in the string (401) and casing (403) is generated so that a non-zero flux is seen by the toroid and hence a signal can be received.

Title: Insert for pressurized liquid containers, in particular, beverage containers
Inventor: VON DER HEIDE STEFAN
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 2002-04-02
Granted: 2010-09-28
Abstract: An insert for insertion into a pressurized container for liquids has a component chamber for receiving an active substance and a pressure chamber for introducing the active substance into the liquid when opening the container for liquids. The pressure chamber has at least one small outer bore. The insert is freely movable in the container for liquids but has such a stable floating position on a surface of the liquid within the container for the liquids that the outer bore always points upwardly and optimizes a pressure compensation with the environment. After opening the container for liquids, the resulting relative overpressure in the pressure chamber in relation to the released pressure in the container for liquids effects an opening of the component chamber.

Abstract: A circuit for processing radio frequency signals. The circuit includes a substrate where the circuit can be placed. The substrate can be a meta material and can incorporate at least one dielectric layer (100). A directional coupler (106) and at least one ground (112) can be coupled to the substrate. The dielectric layer can include a first region (102) with a first set of substrate properties and a second region (104) with a second set of substrate properties. The substrate properties can include a permittivity and a permeability. A substantial portion of the directional coupler (106) can be coupled to the second region (104). The permittivity and/or permeability of the second region (104) can be higher than the permittivity and/or permeability of the first region (102). The increased permittivities and/or permeabilities can reduce a size of the directional coupler (106) and effect a charge in a variety of electrical characteristics associated with the directional coupler (106).

Abstract: A proactive, resilient and self-tuning memory management system and method that result in actual and perceived performance improvements in memory management, by loading and maintaining data that is likely to be needed into memory, before the data is actually needed. The system includes mechanisms directed towards historical memory usage monitoring, memory usage analysis, refreshing memory with highly-valued (e.g., highly utilized) pages, I/O pre-fetching efficiency, and aggressive disk management. Based on the memory usage information, pages are prioritized with relative values, and mechanisms work to pre-fetch and/or maintain the more valuable pages in memory. Pages are pre-fetched and maintained in a prioritized standby page set that includes a number of subsets, by which more valuable pages remain in memory over less valuable pages. Valuable data that is paged out may be automatically brought back, in a resilient manner. Benefits include significantly reducing or even eliminating disk I/O due to memory page faults.
