Title: Résolution de contention avec annulation d'écho
Inventor: HOLT JOHN MATTHEW
IPC: G06F9/54
Filed: 2007-10-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système à ordinateurs multiples dans lequel n ordinateurs (M1, M2,..., Mn) exécutent chacun une partie différente d'un programme d'application unique écrit pour être exécuté uniquement sur un seul ordinateur. La mémoire locale de chaque ordinateur est maintenue sensiblement la même par mise à jour de tous les ordinateurs lors de chaque modification au niveau d'emplacements de mémoire identifiés par une adresse. Une contention peut se produire lorsque le même emplacement de mémoire est mis à jour sensiblement simultanément par au moins deux machines du fait de temps de transmission et de la latence du réseau de communication reliant tous les ordinateurs. L'invention concerne également une détection et une résolution de contention. Une valeur de comptage (99) indiquant le nombre cumulé de fois où chaque emplacement de mémoire a été mis à jour est utilisée. Une contention est indiquée si la valeur de comptage alors stockée et la valeur de comptage de mise à jour entrante sont les mêmes. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de suppression d'écho et un procédé de rejet d'écho. L'invention concerne en particulier l'incrémentation de la valeur de comptage par deux en cas de transmission séquentielle consécutive vers le même emplacement de mémoire (D).

Abstract: L'invention concerne des modes de réalisation de procédés et systèmes de promotion des ventes. Selon certains modes de réalisation, un commerçant offre à des consommateurs une chance de gagner un prix en fonction de critères d'achat prédéterminés, cette offre étant destinée à inciter les consommateurs à acheter des produits et/ou des services. D'une façon générale, et comme l'illustre la figure 1, à l'étape 1, un consommateur conclut une transaction d'achat avec un commerçant. À l'étape 2, si cette transaction d'achat remplit des critères d'achat prédéterminés, une inscription à une activité de jeu de chance est définie pour le consommateur. Cette inscription est offerte au consommateur à titre gracieux. L'inscription peut ensuite faire l'objet d'une demande d'échange, cette demande étant reçue à l'étape 3. À l'étape 4, suite à la demande d'échange, il est déterminé sensiblement immédiatement s'il convient d'octroyer un prix au consommateur en fonction de l'issue de l'activité de jeu de chance. À l'étape 5, il est alors indiqué sensiblement immédiatement au consommateur si un prix lui a été décerné.

Title: System for injecting liquid vapour
Inventor: BEEM BOB ALEXANDER
IPC: F02M21/02
Filed: 2007-07-03
Abstract: System (1) for injecting a vapour wich is liquid under pressure, such as L. P. G. The system comprises a storage tank (2), pump (3), supply line (5), one or more injectors (6) and a return line (11) extending from the injectors to the tank. In order, as far as possible, to prevent the fuel from heating up, the amount of liquid vapour through the return line (11) as to be limited to the greatest possible extent. On the other hand, the pressure of the injectors (6) has to be within the prescribed range. According to the invention, this is achieved by no longer using a pressure regulator for the injector which is located furthest downstream and by controlling the delivery of the fuel punmp on the basis of the intended amount of fuel to be injected. If desired, a restriction (12) may be provided in the return line (11) but during operation supply and discharge are in open communication with one another. The respective restriction (12) can be designed in such a manner that it provides a constant flow of fuel.

Title: Procédé et dispositif de mesure d'impédance intracochléaire
Inventor: TSAMPAZIS KOSTAS IOANNIS
IPC: G01R27/00
Filed: 2008-08-25
Abstract: Ce procédé de détermination d'une impédance de tissu intracochléaire comprend l'utilisation d'au moins deux électrodes de stimulation pour appliquer un stimulus électrique au tissu intracochléaire. Une tension provoquée par le stimulus est mesurée entre deux électrodes de mesure distinctes des électrodes de stimulation. A partir de la tension, une caractéristique de réponse au stimulus du tissu qui se trouve entre les deux électrodes de mesure est déterminée. Ceci permet de déterminer de manière unique l'impédance et le potentiel d'interface tissu/électrodes et l'impédance et le potentiel de tissu. A leur tour, des courants de columelle peuvent être estimés dans un mode de stimulation monopolaire. Est également prévu un lancement automatique d'un nouveau mappage du dispositif lorsque les caractéristiques de tissu varient.

Title: Sucres sulfatés destinés à augmenter l’activité des sulfatases dans les troubles de surcharge lysosomale
Inventor: HOPWOOD JOHN
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 2009-08-28
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et une préparation permettant d’augmenter l’activité d’une sulfatase associée à un trouble de surcharge lysosomale, comprenant l’administration d’un sucre sulfaté. Le procédé est en particulier utile pour les troubles de surcharge lysosomale associés aux sulfatases suivantes : iduronate-2- sulfatase, sulfamidase, glucosamine 6-sulfatase, galactose 6-sulfatase, galactosamine 4- sulfatase et galactose 3-sulfatase. Le sucre sulfaté agit comme un chaperon pharmaceutique stabilisant la sulfatase naissante aux niveaux de pH plus élevés que l’on rencontre dans le réticulum endoplasmique (RE) et durant le transport de la sulfatase naissante du RE au lysosome, évitant ainsi le système de dégradation associé au réticulum endoplasmique. Le sucre sulfaté est de préférence un monosaccharide, n’agissant ainsi pas en tant que substrat, et est libéré aux niveaux de pH lysosomaux inférieurs où au moins une certaine activité est présente.

Title: Methods and apparatus for centrifugal liquid chromatography
Inventor: KERR ROBERT R
IPC: G01N30/00
Filed: 2010-03-12
Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to centrifugal liquid chromatography are described. An angular velocity can be simultaneously imparted to a large number of chromatographic enclosures. Via centrifugal forces, a mobile phase fluid including a sample can be driven through a stationary phase within the chromatographic enclosure to perform a chromatographic separation process on components of the sample. The use of centrifugation as a driving force can allow significantly smaller stationary phase particles to be employed as compared to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Further, for an equivalent chromatographic separation process, the use of centrifugation can provide much greater separation efficiencies than HPLC.

Title: Well tools utilizing swellable materials activated on demand
Inventor: KRISTIAN SOLHAUG
IPC: E21B23/06
Filed: 2010-03-17
Abstract: A well tool includes a generally tubular mandrel with a flow passage extending longitudinally through the mandrel, and a flow controller which initially prevents a fluid from contacting a swellable material, but which permits the fluid to contact the material in response to manipulation of pressure in the flow passage. Another well tool includes a swellable material, a generally tubular mandrel, and a conduit wrapped circumferentially about the mandrel, the conduit containing a fluid which, upon contact with the swellable material, causes the material to swell. A method of actuating a well tool in a well includes manipulating pressure in a flow passage extending through a tubular string, thereby opening at least one flow control device of the well tool which selectively permits fluid communication between a reservoir of the well tool and a swellable material of the well tool, whereby a fluid in the reservoir contacts the swellable material.
