Patent EP-1252992-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SEIGNEUR CHRISTOPHER DAVID
IPC: B27B17/02
Filed: 2002-04-18
Abstract: A guide bar for a chain saw of a tree harvester adapted for
applying treatment material to the stump upon severing a tree. The
guide bar, typically a laminated bar includes an inner channel in
the inner laminate that connects to a series of dispersal holes in
the outer laminates and along the bar length. Multiple inlet holes
also in the outer laminate or laminates are provided in a rear
region of the bar for directing material flow into the channel.
Only one of the inlet holes is in use and the other inlet holes are
plugged. The invention provides for plugging unused inlet holes
with a member (plug) that slides into position over the unused
inlet holes at the inner side of the outer laminate. Numerous
variations are proposed including both automatic, where treatment
material flow generates an inner pressure that urges a member
against the inner side of the unused hole and manual, where a
blocking tab is manually slid into place at the inner side of the
hole.

Abstract: A method of repairing a gas turbine engine compressor blade airfoils includes
machining away airfoil material (50) along leading and trailing edges and a
radially outer tip of the airfoil to form leading edge, trailing edge, and tip
cut-backs (66, 68, 69). Then beads of welding material are welded onto the
leading edge, trailing edge, and tip cut-backs (66, 68, 69). Then some of the
weld material is machined away from the weld bead to obtain desired finished
dimensions of the leading and trailing edges and radially outer tip (LE, TE,
38). Blade material along only radially outermost portions (80) of the leading
and trailing edges (LE, TE) extending from the tip towards a base of the airfoil
(32) is machined away. A rounded corner is formed between the leading
edge and trailing edge cut-backs (62, 63) and unmachined portions of the
airfoil (34) between the outermost portions (80) of the leading and trailing
edges (LE, TE) and the base of the airfoil (32).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un écoulement de liquides à une petite échelle utilisant des effets de surface pour guider le liquide sur des canaux d'écoulement afin de maintenir un écoulement laminaire. Le mode de réalisation décrit dans cette invention ne nécessite aucune structure de confinement à parois latérales, ce qui permet, d'une part, de réduire la résistance à l'écoulement et, d'autre part, de maintenir l'écoulement laminaire à des débits élevés. La structure de guidage est pourvue de rayures permettant le guidage de l'écoulement; ces rayures sont ménagées sur au moins l'une des surfaces de couverture et de base placées face à face, ces surfaces peuvent être humidifiées par un liquide choisi de manière à acheminer le liquide depuis un emplacement source vers un emplacement cible. Les zones adjacentes aux rayures de guidage ménagées sur les surfaces de couverture et de base étant non-mouillables. L'interface lisse située entre le gaz et le liquide le long du courant d'écoulement permet le déclenchement de réactions entre le gaz et le liquide en fonction de leur diffusion à travers l'interface, sans mélange du gaz et du liquide. Des écoulements liquides-liquides peuvent également être guidés au moyen de ces structures.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, une protéine de liaison au galactose/glucose est synthétisée par l'Escherichia coli (E. coli) sous forme d'un précurseur dans le cytoplasme et exporté dans l'espace périplasmique lors du clivage de la séquence de tête de l'acide aminé 23. La protéine de liaison au galactose/glucose se lie au galactose et au glucose de manière très spécifique. Le ligand induit un mouvement excessif dans la protéine de liaison au galactose/glucose et le changement conformationnel de la protéine qui en résulte constitue la base du système de détection. Des biocapteurs fondés sur la protéine de liaison au galactose/glucose ont été développés. Lesdits biocapteurs utilisent divers signaux analytiques, notamment optiques (c'est-à-dire, de fluorescence) et électrochimiques. Les méthodes analytiques sont utilisées pour déterminer la quantité de glucose présent.

IPC: F04B9/04
Filed: 2003-07-31
Abstract: Pumping requirements for chromatograph applications are
for constant flow at high and variable pressures and for
accurate programmable control of liquid composition. A two-cylinder
pump, pumping system, and associated controls
provide an accurate, fixed flow rate. A low pressure
gradient former controls composition. During the initial
portion of the pumping stroke of a first piston in which
fluid is being compressed due to its finite bulk modulus of
elasticity its check valve remains closed, a second piston
provides all the flow required at a fixed rotational speed.
Then, once the pressure inside the first piston's cylinder
has reached that of the discharge and its discharge check
valve opens, the control system switches to a constant-pressure
control mode, thereby maintaining the flow rate at
a fixed value. Constant-pressure control is again switched
off when the second piston's discharge check valve closes,
and pump control returns to fixed rotational speed.
Determining the angular displacement at which to effect
these control-mode switches is carried out by monitoring the
discharge pressure and storing the values of the angular
displacement at which the first temporal derivative of
pressure changes rapidly. The invention provides novel
arrangement for synchronizing the gradient generator by
equating recompression volume to recompression volume of the
high pressure pump.
