Patent EP-1096459-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NOGUCHI NAOYA
IPC: G08B21/24
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: With the bumping prevention system according to the
present invention, when a vehicle (7) passes by a fixed point
information detection support facility (1) and enters the service
area (24), the vehicle's driver recognizes availability of the
service for provision of information, alarms, and controls for
prevention of bumping when entering a crossing upon reception of
a signal indicating the service area (24), and starts computing
a current position of the vehicle by grasping the current running
position of the vehicle and a distance up to a priority road.
On the other hand, the system control system acquires information
concerning vehicles (25) on the priority road from the on-road
infrastructure, and provides the driver, when there is any
vehicle (25) entering the crossing on the priority road, with the
information concerning the crossing as well as the vehicle (25)
entering the crossing at a point where the driver can brake the
vehicle (7) with sufficient time allowance for stopping the
vehicle in front of the crossing. Further when it is determined
that there is the possibility of bumping with the vehicle (25)
entering the crossing, the system gives an alarm indicating the
possibility of bumping to the driver at a point where the driver
can brake the vehicle (7) in an emergency with time allowance for
stopping the vehicle (7) in front of the crossing. When it is
determined that there is the possibility of bumping with another
vehicle (25) entering the crossing, the system continuously
provides controls for decelerating and stopping the vehicle (7)
in a range from a point where the system can decelerate the
vehicle (7) in an emergency with time allowance for stopping the
vehicle (7) in front of the crossing up to a point in front of
the crossing.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés et des produits informatiques permettant de déterminer une distance corrigée entre un avion et une piste sélectionnée de sorte que la distance corrigée puisse être utilisée dans des calculs réalisés pour les dispositifs avertisseurs de proximité du sol. Cette invention comprend un processeur qui reçoit les données relative aux coordonnées de l'avion et de la piste sélectionnée. En fonction des valeurs de coordonnées, le processeur détermine une distance coordonnées entre l'avion et la piste sélectionnée. Le processeur calcule une valeur de distance qui correspond à l'altitude de l'avion au-dessus de la piste le long de la pente radiogoniométrique prédéterminée. Le processeur compare ensuite la distance relatives aux coordonnées et les valeurs calculées de la distance et sélectionne soit la distance relative aux coordonnées, soit la valeur de la distance calculée comme étant la distance corrigée entre l'avion et la piste sélectionnée. L'invention porte également sur un processeur utilisé pour déterminer une valeur de la distance d'anticipation pour effectuer des calculs utilisés pour le dispositif avertisseur de proximité du sol.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés non invasifs permettant de détecter des tumeurs solides au moyen de bactéries ciblées sur des tumeurs. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés permettant de détecter des tumeurs in vivo par administration d'un gène marqueur à une tumeur solide par le biais d'une population de bactéries ciblées sur des tumeurs. Elle concerne des procédés permettant de détecter des tumeurs solides par détection d'un composé incorporé aux bactéries, d'une infection provoquée par les bactéries sur le(s) site(s) de la tumeur, ou d'un antigène présent sur la surface des vecteurs bactériens. La détection d'une tumeur implique la détection d'un produit génique marqueur exprimé par les bactéries ciblées sur des tumeur. Ledit produit peut être détecté directement dans la tumeur à l'aide d'un fragment étiqueté qui interagit avec ce produit, ou d'un substrat marqueur étiqueté. Ainsi, si un produit génique marqueur est directement détectable, il peut l'être directement. Dans le cas contraire, un fragment étiqueté interagissant avec le produit génique marqueur est détecté, ou on utilise un substrat marqueur étiqueté, ce qui permet de détecter un métabolite marqueur étiqueté. On peut donc localiser ou détecter une tumeur par balayage d'un sujet afin de détecter le produit génique marqueur, un complexe étiqueté comprenant ledit produit et son fragment interactif, ou un métabolite marqueur étiqueté, respectivement, mettant ainsi en image la tumeur. Plus précisément, les bactéries ciblées sur les tumeurs atténuées sont des aérobies ou des anaérobies facultatifs modifiés pour coder le gène marqueur. En outre, l'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés de mise en image et de traitement simultanés une tumeur chez un sujet au moyen d'au moins une population d'organismes ciblés sur les tumeurs. Elle concerne également des procédés non invasifs, cliniquement applicables de mise en image de tumeurs, que l'on peut mettre en oeuvre par des techniques d'imagerie existantes pour surveiller et évaluer in vivo des traitements de cancer chez des sujets humains. Elle concerne enfin des trousses associées.
