Abstract: The invention relates to passive internal references for use in quantitating the formation of amplification products in a nucleic amplification reaction. The internal amplification reference molecules of the invention comprise a first and second fluorophore joined together through a backbone connector. The first and second fluorophores are joined on the backbone in a configuration that permits the energy transfer from the first fluorophore to the second fluorophore. The backbone connector is selected so as not to bind to the target nucleic acid sequence under nucleic acid amplification conditions. Preferably, the backbone connector is a polynucleotide. Another aspect of the invention is to provide passive internal reference molecule containing reagent compositions for use in nucleic acid amplification reactions. The compositions comprise the internal amplification reference molecule of the invention and a nucleic acid amplification reaction buffer. The reagent compositions, optionally, include additional components required for nucleic acid amplification reactions. The invention also provides improved methods of measuring the amount of amplification product in nucleic acid amplification reactions employing fluorescer-quencher probe assays, including methods for the real-time measurement of amplification product formation. The methods comprise the step of adding the internal reference molecule of the invention to the amplification reaction mixture. Fluorescence of the second fluorophore on the internal reference may then be measured and used to calculate changes in fluorescence of the fluorophore on a fluorescer-quencher probe.

Abstract: A support for a rotating component (10) with a given axis of rotation (14) includes a fixed body (16) with a concave support face (18) in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. An interchangeable support unit (30) can be received between the concave support face and the component to be supported. In section, this unit has the shape of a sector of a circular ring defined by two radii with an angle of 180 degrees between them. The support unit is fixed to the body using fixtures (50) that can be unlocked. Linking devices (56) couple the support unit to a replacement support unit (30'), which can thus be moved into place without dismounting the rotating component. This is done by rotating both support units about the axis of rotation after unlocking the fixtures.

Abstract: Machine dynamoélectrique dans laquelle un stator (2) entoure un périmètre d'arbre rotatif (1) et où l'on a monté une paire de rotors (3N, 3S) solidaires des parties de l'arbre (1) situées des deux côtés du stator (2), ainsi que générateur et moteur utilisant ladite machine. Le rotor (3N) a des pôles magnétiques à polarité N, et le rotor (3S) a le même nombre de pôles ayant une polarité S, les pôles de ces rotors respectifs étant disposés à intervalles équiangulaires de sorte qu'ils soient opposés dans la direction axiale de l'arbre (1). Le stator (2) a deux fois plus de noyaux qu'il y a de pôles magnétiques sur un rotor, des pôles magnétiques formés aux deux extrémités des noyaux, et des bobines enroulées autour des noyaux, les pôles magnétiques aux deux extrémités des noyaux étant disposés à intervalles équiangulaires de façon qu'ils soient opposés aux pôles magnétiques des rotors par des espaces d'air. Avec cette configuration, on peut former les pôles magnétiques des rotors (3N, 3S) selon des surfaces plates de manière à établir un flux magnétique uniforme et, par ailleurs, on peut réduire la longueur axiale du stator (2), d'où la diminution des pertes dans le fer et de fuite du flux magnétique.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de pliage de piles de feuilles pouvant comporter soit une feuille soit plusieurs, lesdites feuilles étant éventuellement caractérisées par différents coefficients de résistance au pliage. Le procédé en question assure, au moyen d'une alimentation cyclique séquentielle, où alternent phases de mouvement et pauses, le transport de piles de feuilles à l'installation de pliage. Il consiste notamment à déterminer, pour une pile de feuilles donnée, la résistance au pliage sur la base au moins du nombre de feuilles constituant la pile et/ou de la résistance au pliage de l'une de ces feuilles. La pile en question est ensuite pliée, la vitesse de la plieuse étant régulée pendant la pause normale intervenant dans l'alimentation cyclique. Lorsque survient une réduction de la vitesse de pliage, on rallonge l'interruption de mouvement pour le pliage de la pile suivante si on ne parvient pas à réduire la vitesse de pliage pendant la phase normale de mouvement de l'alimentation cyclique. Inversement, en cas d'augmentation de la vitesse de pliage, selon ce que le temps exige, soit on rallonge l'interruption de mouvement pour le pliage de la pile suivante si on ne parvient pas a augmenter la vitesse de pliage pendant la pause normale de l'alimentation cyclique, soit on ne la rallonge pas, même si l'on ne parvient pas à obtenir l'accélération nécessaire de l'opération de pliage pendant l'interruption normale du mouvement.

Abstract: A cathodic protection monitoring system for buried metal objects comprising a transponder hard-wire connected to a sacrificial anode and a reference electrode, each of the transponder, the sacrificial anode and the reference electrode being buried underground in close proximity to the buried metal object to be protected, thereby forming a first principal circuit between the sacrificial anode and the buried metal object and forming a second principal circuit between the reference electrode and the buried metal object. The system further comprises a portable transceiver disposed above ground tuned to a frequency of the transponder. Power for operation of the transponder is drawn from the cathodic protection circuit, thereby obviating the need for connections to above ground power supplies.

Abstract: An automated conveyor sortation and item discharge system for conveying and discharging packages at high speeds. A conveyor assembly includes an elongate crowned conveyor belt (20), which conveys parcels in a longitudinal direction defined across slider beds (18) and across discharge stations (30). The parcels can take three different routes once they reach the discharge stations. They may be all owed to pass the discharge stations and continue to be conveyed by the crowned conveyor belt (20), or they can be selectively discharged off of the crowned conveyor belt (20) and into discharge chutes (50,51) located to either side of the substantially straight path of the crowned conveyor belt. Each of the discharge stations includes a selectively indexable fork member supporting a group of idling rollers (34). The parcels have sliding contact with the sliders beds (19) and "rolling contact" with the idler rollers (34). When a package is in the desired positions, the fork member (33) can be indexed to cause some of the rollers to move upwardly and inwardly. This causes the package to tilt about the top of the crowned conveyor belt until the package contacts a withdrawal roller (40) opposing the conveyor belt from the raised rollers. The withdrawal roller draws the package into one of two chutes (50,51) for sorting purposes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de fabrication d'un élément de télévision en verre, tel qu'un écran ou un cône de télévision. Ce procédé consiste à introduire à haute température dans un moule une fraction de verre à l'état visqueux, puis à comprimer au moyen d'un plongeur appliqué à une pression requise dans le verre visqueux de manière à obtenir l'élément de forme souhaitée, et enfin à refroidir le plongeur pour l'amener à température ambiante. Au cours du processus de fabrication, le plongeur reste en contact avec le produit jusqu'à ce que ce dernier possède des dimensions stables. Pour ce faire, on choisit le rapport entre la durée de contact du plongeur avec l'élément et la durée de présence de l'élément dans le moule de sorte que ce rapport soit compris entre 0,5 et 1.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes at least one porous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) insulator, which provides good mechanical strength and a low dielectric constant (e.g., epsilonR<2) for minimizing parasitic capacitance. The insulator provides IC isolation, such as between circuit elements, between interconnection lines, between circuit elements and interconnection lines, or as a passivation layer overlying both circuit elements and interconnection lines. The low dielectric constant silicon oxycarbide isolation insulator of the present invention reduces the parasitic capacitance between circuit nodes. As a result, the silicon oxycarbide isolation insulator advantageously provides reduced noise and signal crosstalk between circuit nodes, reduced power consumption, faster circuit operation, and minimizes the risk of potential timing faults.
