Abstract: Pour assurer des communications fiables vers un commutateur privé (20, 22), ce commutateur est connecté à deux centraux urbains différents du réseau téléphonique commuté public. Lors de la reconnaissance d'un numéro de téléphone désignant des appels vers le commutateur privé, des commutateurs d'accès aux services (2) s'adressent aux points de commande de service (8) en vue de la conversion des voies d'acheminement. Ces points de commande de service (8) dirigent les appels dans le réseau vers des connexions de réseau sur un central urbain numérique (1c, par exemple) et ensuite vers l'autre central urbain numérique (1b). En cas d'échec d'un numéro d'appel prédéterminé sur une des voies d'acheminement, tous les autres appels sont dirigés vers l'autre voie d'acheminement jusqu'à ce que des échecs de numéros d'appels se produisent sur l'autre voie d'acheminement et que des appels consécutifs soient de nouveau mis à disposition.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une antenne à double bande pour communications mobiles qui comprend un élément rayonnant en forme de tige. Cet élément possède une première partie d'une longueur prédéterminée qui est connectée à une ligne d'alimentation coaxiale, ainsi qu'une seconde partie d'une longueur prédéterminée qui dépasse de la première et en fait partie intégrante. La ligne d'alimentation coaxiale vient se connecter à une plaque de mise à la terre, tandis qu'une première charge capacitive vient se connecter à la première partie de l'élément rayonnant. Une bobine d'arrêt, qui entoure la seconde partie de l'élément rayonnant, possède une extrémité de court-circuitage qui est connectée à l'extrémité distale de la seconde partie, ainsi qu'une extrémité ouverte qui connectée à l'extrémité proximale de ladite seconde partie. Une seconde charge capacitive vient se connecter à l'extrémité de court-circuitage de la bobine d'arrêt. En ce qui concerne la bande des fréquences supérieures, l'impédance d'entrée de la bobine d'arrêt est élevée de sorte que seule la première partie (inférieure) de l'élément rayonnant va émettre. En ce qui concerne la bande des fréquences inférieures, l'impédance d'entrée de la bobine d'arrêt est inférieure de manière à ce que l'émission puisse se faire sur toute la longueur de l'antenne.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of nimesulide and structurally related compounds in the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that nimesulide exhibits a neuroprotective effect against beta-amyloid induced cell death. Without being bound to any particular theory, it appears that nimesulide inhibits a non-inflammatory mechanism of neurodegeneration.

Abstract: The method involves removing diseased tissue and sucking it away in a disposal stream. A supply stream of a pressurized generator at a device's proximal end is choked. The disposal stream is guided by an under pressure generator. A vacuum is produced in the area of the diseased tissue due to the different speeds of the supply and disposal channels, whose force removes the diseased tissue, breaks it down and removes it. An Independent claim is included for a device for implementing the method.

Abstract: A chromatographic assay device for use with
immunoassays allows rapid and convenient assays of
analytes of biological interest, and permits extractions
to be carried out  in situ , avoiding the use of separate
extraction vessels. The device has a wide dynamic range
and avoids interference from particulates or colored
components. In one form, the device comprises: (A) a
first opposable component (252) comprising a
chromatographic medium (256) and an application means
(262) including a sample preparation means adapted to
receive a sample to be assayed; and (B) a second opposable
component (254) comprising a second application means
(270) and an absorbing means (268) separated from the
second applicator means. The first and second opposable
components can be brought into opposition so as to cause
liquid transfer between the components via the
chromatographic medium. Preferably, the analyte is
detected with a visually detectable label. Other
variations of the device vary the arrangement of
components to provide optimal chromatography for a variety
of analytes, as well as to permit bi-directional
chromatography. The devices can be incorporated in test
kits, and assay methods using the devices are also
disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a supply means for magnetically attractive developing
powder, comprising a reservoir (9) provided with an outflow opening (13) for supplying a
magnetically attractive developing powder (21) from the reservoir to a developing unit. The
reservoir is provided with two magnetic systems (15,16) each rotatable about an axis of

which the developing powder can be displaced under the influence of the rotating
magnetic systems. The magnetic systems are disposed opposite one another with the
axes of rotation parallel to one another. The stationary enclosures of the two magnetic
systems together form the outflow opening, while in a supply mode the magnetic
systems are adapted to effect transport of developing powder through the outflow
opening by rotation and in a stationary mode the magnetic systems are adapted to
prevent transport of developing powder through the outflow opening.
