Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour protéger des données en utilisant un environnement virtuel. Selon linvention, on crée un environnement virtuel sécurisé qui supporte l'exécution de programmes d'application exécutés sur un ordinateur et qui permet de fournir en entrée ou en sortie des données importantes seulement au sein de l'environnement virtuel, de sorte que l'accès aux données importantes en dehors de l'environnement virtuel soit empêché, cest-à-dire de sorte que l'accès aux données importantes soit empêché dans un environnement local général. Selon la présente invention, une fuite de données est initialement évitée pour protéger des données. Linvention est pratique du fait qu'un utilisateur peut utiliser l'ordinateur d'une manière générale tout en effectuant le travail souhaité.

Title: Torroidal single winding transformer
Inventor: LEE MYUNG HWAN
IPC: H01F17/06
Filed: 2010-09-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a torroidal single winding transformer which uses a torroidal core and comprises: a first main winding portion formed on branches of input/output terminals, and having an adjustable number of windings; a second main winding portion having an opposite polarity to the first main winding portion, and formed on branches having reference voltage terminals for the input/output terminals so as to have an adjustable number of windings; an excitation winding excited by the first main winding portion and the second main winding portion; and a controller for adjusting the numbers of windings of the first main winding portion and the second main winding portion to control the magnitude of an output voltage. Accordingly, a transformer can be produced which is reduced in size by about 1/4 and lighter than an EI core, and production cost can be significantly reduced. Also, system instability that can arise during the process of step-up voltage transformation can be eliminated, providing a constant voltage output with stability and high reliability.

Patent WO-2009113884-A2 (WO)
Inventor: SEATON MARK HAMISH
Filed: 2009-03-11
Abstract: A robotic milking system suitable for use with conventional milking clusters. Clusters are withdrawn to a generally known position upon release from a cow with the cups hanging down below the bowl. The cups are then located in a confined region from where they are picked up by a robotic arm and attached to teats of a cow. The cups may be located into recesses or slots or be drawn through a guide. The arrangement allows a single robotic arm to service multiple bales of a rotary milking parlour. The application of a vacuum to milking cups may be controlled by applying sufficient pressure to the pulsation line of a cup to collapse the cup liner when that cup is not attached to a teat or by bending a feed line to a cup to close the flow path.

Abstract: Çalışmamızın amacı, mevcut dondurma formu?lasyonunun, vegan veya daha sağlıklı beslenmek isteyen bireylerin tercih edeceği bir hale getirerek, glisemik indeksi sıfır olan stevia bitkisi tozu ve bitkisel bir protein kaynağı olan karpuz çekirdeği ile zenginleştirip, normal dondurmaya göre daha du?şu?k kalorili bir u?ru?n u?retmek ve besin bileşimini değerlendirmektir. Literatu?re bakıldığında, stevia bitkisinin kalorisinin sıfır olduğu ve şekerden 50-350 kat daha tatlı ve gıdalarda kullanımın gu?venilir olduğu göru?lmektedir (4). Bunun yanı sıra, bitkisel kaynaklı proteinlerin bazı fonksiyonel özellikler ac?ısından ticari olarak sıklıkla kullanılan peynir altı suyu izolatı ve/veya soya proteini izolatına gu?çlu?? bir alternatif oluşturduğu yapılan çalışmalar ile belirlenmiştir. Bitkisel protein izolatları u?retiminde oldukc?a genis? bir yelpazede kaynak c?es?itlilig?i mevcuttur. U?ru?nde istenen bir fonksiyonel o?zellig?i sag?lamak ic?in kullanılacak bitkisel kaynak ve bununla beraber uygulanacak ekstraksiyon yo?ntemi veya dig?er is?lemler farklılık go?sterebilir. Bu ac?ıdan bitkisel proteinlerin fonksiyonel o?zelliklerinin incelendig?i c? alıs?ma bulgularının bir araya getirilmesi ve beraber incelenmesi o?nem arz etmektedir (5). Ancak çalışmamızda, genelde vegan u?ru?nlerin u?retimi için en yaygın olarak kullanılan bezelye proteinine bir alternatif olarak, 100 gramında 30 gram protein içerdiği bilinen karpuz çekirdeği kullanılmıştır. Protein ve yağ bakımından zengin olan karpuz çekirdeğinin protein kalitesi hakkında gu?nu?mu?ze kadar birçok araştırma yapılmıştır. Bariatrik cerrahi operasyonları,vegan beslenme ve sporcularda ergojenik destek kullanımı gibi konuların popu?leritesi ile birlikte protein kalitesi ve total alınan proteinin önemi de artmıştır. Yapılan çalışmalarda karpuz çekirdeğinin içeriğinde arginin ve glutamin miktarı yu?ksek olduğu tespit edilmiş, arginin ve glutaminin cerrahi mu?dahaleler sonrası post-op dönemde yaraların iyileşme hızını arttırmak hu?crelerin yenilenmesini sağlamak, bası yaralarını tedavi etmek amacıyla kullanılan önemli bir u?ru?n olduğu tespit edilmiştir. (6,7,8,9,10,11). Bu nedenle, protein içeriği ve kalitesi bakımından değerli olan karpuz çekirdeği ile geliştirilen u?ru?n formu?lasyonlarının sporcularda, veganlarda ve sağlıklı beslenmek isteyen bireylerde gu?nlu?k protein ihtiyacının bir kısmı karşılanabileceği du?şu?nu?lmektedir. Bu sebeple çalışmamızda, protein içeriği ve kalitesi yu?ksek olan karpuz çekirdeği tercih edilmiştir. Ve gu?nlu?k hayatta rahatlıkla tu?ketilebilecek, u?retim maliyeti ve kalorisi du?şu?k bir u?ru?n geliştirmek amaçlamıştır.

Abstract: A patellofemoral brace including a buttress for supporting a wearer's patella is provided. The patellofemoral brace includes an elastic sleeve (12) that is easy to apply to the wearer's leg and easy to remove from the wearer's leg. The sleeve includes distinct bands of material (20, 40, 46) so that end bands are substantially rotationally independent of a central band. The end bands (46) resist translation along and rotation about the wearer's leg. The brace further includes a tensioning strap (14) that lies across the buttress (38) to further support the buttress and the wearer's patella. A portion of the tensioning strap is constructed of a thermoplastic elastomer, so that the strap provides firmer support to the buttress than a fabric strap, but is more comfortable and more evenly supports the buttress than a hard, inelastic strap.
