Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil de chauffage par induction destiné à être utilisé dans le soudage d'une extrémité d'une première longueur de tuyau (26) à la surface extérieure d'une seconde longueur de tuyau (28). Cet appareil comprend des ensembles (20, 24) de chauffage comportant chacun au moins une bobine (32, 36) d'induction électrique enroulée sur un ensemble noyau magnétique laminé, annulaire. Les surfaces les plus basses de cet ensemble (30, 34) noyau sont en forme de selle et peuvent s'adapter sur la surface extérieure de la longueur de tuyau (28). L'agencement des bobines (32, 36) et des ensembles (30, 34) noyau est tel que presque tout le flux magnétique, généré lorsque l'appareil est mis en place sur le tuyau (28) et que la bobine est excitée, est contenu dans l'ensemble noyau et à l'intérieur de la paroi du tuyau (28). De manière avantageuse, les ensembles noyaux (30, 34) ont des profils à section en E, les extrémités des bords des sections en E comprenant les surfaces les plus basses des ensembles noyaux et les bobines enroulées autour des éléments centraux des sections en E. L'ensemble noyau est constitué d'une pluralité de segments annulaires fractionnés, une bobine d'induction individuelle étant associée à chacun de ces segments. L'appareil peut comporter des premier et second ensembles chauffants, le premier s'étendant sur la périphérie externe d'une zone de soudage circulaire formée sur la surface extérieure de la seconde longueur de tuyau, et le second s'étendant sur la périphérie interne de la zone de soudage.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method and device for automatic configuration of a subscriber's installation (En) with a network interface unit (NIU), said device being designed so as to enable adaptation to a connection unit (AFRA-NT) of a digital network (AN) by adjusting in adaptive mode the throughput of said network interface unit (NIU). The inventive method comprises the following steps: determining the maximum throughput between a network interface unit or connection unit and another digital network unit (AN); comparing the recorded throughput with the previous maximum throughput stored in the subscriber's installation (En); storing the recorded throughput in the subscriber's installation (En); comparing the recorded throughput with the throughput determined as being required for connections in process related with the subscriber's terminal applications (En); and configuring the maximum throughput as the permissible maximum throughput in the network interface unit (NIU) concerned in the event that the throughput required for the connections in process does not exceed the recorded maximum throughput.

alumina carrier and a Group 6 metal component supported
together with a Group 9 or 10 metal component on the
carrier. The alumina carrier contains silica in an
amount of 0.5 to 20 wt% in relation to catalyst weight.
Silica is dispersed in the carrier as a silica moiety
with a mean particle diameter of 0.05 to 1 µm. The
catalyst has a pore diameter distribution such that the
median pore diameter of pores having diameters of 600 Å
or less is 70 Å or greater but less than 150 Å.
Excellent denitrogenation characteristics and
desulfurization characteristics are maintained for a long

Inventor: HARRINGTON JOHN J
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to activating gene expression or causing over-expression of a gene by recombination methods in situ. The invention also relates generally to methods for expressing an endogenous gene in a cell at levels higher than those normally found in the cell. In one embodiment of the invention, expression of an endogenous gene is activated or increased following integration into the cell, by non-homologous or illegitimate recombination, of a regulatory sequence that activates expression of the gene. In another embodiment, the expression of the endogenous gene may be further increased by co-integration of one or more amplifiable markers, and selecting for increased copies of the one or more amplifiable markers located on the integrated vector. The invention also provides methods for the identification and expression of genes undiscoverable by current methods since no target sequence is necessary for integration. The invention also provides methods for isolation of nucleic acid molecules (particularly cDNA molecules) encoding transmembrane proteins, and for isolation of cells expressing such transmembrane proteins which may be heterologous transmembrane proteins. The invention also relates to isolated genes, gene products, nucleic acid molecules, and compositions comprising such genes, gene products and nucleic acid molecules, that may be used in a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Thus, by the present invention, endogenous genes, including those associated with human disease and development, may be activated and isolated without prior knowledge of the sequence, structure, function, or expression profile of the genes.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un générateur de gaz peu polluant qui comporte une source d'un mélange de gaz riche en oxygène et de carburant, le gaz riche en oxygène comportant moins d'azote que l'air et plus d'oxygène que l'air. Le mélange est introduit dans une chambre de combustion où il est mis à feu. Le mélange préalable de l'oxygène et du carburant avant son introduction dans la chambre de combustion permet d'obtenir une combustion plus efficace. On utilise de l'eau comme agent d'absorption de chaleur. Les gaz du flux principal provenant de la chambre de combustion se détendent dans une turbine primaire, et sont ensuite chauffés à nouveau avant de se détendre dans une turbine secondaire. La chaleur provenant des gaz du flux principal est transférée vers un écoulement auxiliaire d'eau qui se transforme en vapeur et se détend dans une turbine auxiliaire. Le système de la présente invention permet d'obtenir des rendements égaux, voire supérieurs à 65 %. En outre, le système produit peu ou pas de pollution, et est compact par rapport à des systèmes de production industrielle d'énergie de puissance similaire.
