Patent EP-1107258-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAJI PETER K
IPC: G11C11/56
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: Apparatus and method of reading the state of each
cell in a stacked memory characterised by stacks of cells
in an addressable array with each stack including MTJ
memory cells stacked together with current terminals
connected in series, and including a first and second
current terminals coupled through an electronic switch to
a current source. Each stack includes 2 n  levels of
memory. A voltage drop across an addressed stack is
sensed. Reference voltages equal to the 2 n  memory levels
are provided and the sensed voltage drop is compared to
the reference voltages to determine the memory level in
the addressed stack. Encoding apparatus is used to
convert the voltage drop to a digital output signal.

Abstract: The present invention includes maintaining the region of the proximal
lens (14) of a laparoscope (10) at greater than ambient temperature in
order to prevent fogging during use. Heating is accomplished using
commercially available chemical heat packs (12) generally used for
heating boots or gloves, or by using electrically powered heating tape
(18). The invention differs from other anti-fogging devices, which
either immerse the distal lens region of the laparoscope in a warm fluid
or treat this lens with anti-fogging solutions, in that above-ambient
temperature is continuously maintained throughout the laparoscope, since
it is known that a cool laparoscope fogs when placed in the vicinity of
warm, wet patient tissue.

Title: Modulation du trafic des lymphocytes t a memoire de la circulation systemique
Inventor: BUTCHER EUGENE C
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne des méthodes de modulation spécifique du trafic des lymphocytes T à mémoire de la circulation systémique, notamment les lymphocytes T CD4+, sans affecter les lymphocytes T naifs ou les lymphocytes T à mémoire intestinaux. Les lymphocytes T à mémoire de la circulation systémique, dénommés CD45Ra-, et l'intégrine α4β7- expriment des niveaux élevés de CCR4. Les ligands de CCR4, tels que TARC ou MDC, servent de déclencheur d'adhérence : après leur liaison avec CCR4, ces cellules subissent un arrêt dépendant de l'intégrine au niveau des récepteurs vasculaires appropriés. Cet arrêt permet de localiser les cellules au niveau du site cible. Les méthodes selon l'invention permettent de manipuler ce déclenchement, ainsi que la chimiotaxie médiée par CCR4, pour agir sur la localisation des lymphocytes T dans des tissus cible. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'agent actif est un agoniste de CCR4 qui permet d'améliorer la localisation des lymphocytes T. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'agent est un antagoniste qui bloque l'activité biologique de CCR4. Les méthodes selon l'invention sont avantageuses en ce qu'elles visent sélectivement les lymphocytes T à mémoire de la circulation systémique, sans avoir d'effets sur les lymphocytes T natifs ou les lymphocytes T à mémoire intestinaux.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument à vent, par exemple un saxophone ou une flûte, et elle est basée sur la découverte que l'on peut grandement améliorer un instrument à vent, par exemple en cuivre ou laiton, en appliquant chimiquement sur celui-ci un revêtement de matériau dur. Un tel revêtement appliqué sur le côté intérieur du tube améliore le son. Un revêtement au phosphore-nickel, de préférence comprenant du PTFE, appliqué sur le côté extérieur de l'instrument, dote celui-ci d'une apparence très attrayante et se raye moins facilement. Si on applique un revêtement dans les paliers de rotule des mécanismes de soupape, les sons mécaniques gênants sont diminués et le mécanisme se déplace avec moins de résistance.

Abstract: A liquid-drop spraying device is provided which can
perform a stable liquid discharge without making air bubbles
produced in the liquid of the pressurized room as well as the
amount of liquid supply per unit time is increased. As applying
voltage signal to the piezoelectric / electrostriction element
of the drive electronics is shown along with the passage of
time, the liquid can be flowed into the liquid pressurized room
uniformly, and without entrainment of bubbles from the nozzle
side by making the initial discharge time constant being larger
than the second discharge time constant in the range of a fall
time T3 or T4 in which different discharges are in turn performed
with discharge time constant and by suctioning the liquid at
a slow supply speed from the inlet hole after liquid discharge.
On the other hand, as for the liquid having started to move,
since the liquid can be rapidly suctioned with the second
smaller discharge time constant, the liquid supply can be
performed smoothly and a driving period time T5 can be shortened
comparing with the case of suctioning the liquid to the last
with the initial time constant, thereby enabling a stable and
large amount of liquid discharge per unit time period.

Abstract: A programmable logic device has many regions of programmable logic, together with relatively general-purpose, programmable, interconnection resources that can be used to make interconnections between virtually any of the logic regions. In addition, various types of more local interconnection resources are associated with each logic region for facilitating the making of interconnections between adjacent or nearby logic regions without the need to use the general-purpose interconnection resources for those interconnections. The local interconnection resources support flexible clustering of logic regions via relatively direct and therefore high-speed interconnections, preferably in both horizontal and vertical directions in the typically two-dimensional array of logic regions. The logic region clustering options provided by the local interconnection resources are preferably boundary-less or substantially boundary-less within the array of logic regions.

Abstract: Copolymers based on unsaturated monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid derivatives, oxyalkylene glycol alkenyl ethers, vinylic polyalkylene glycol, polysiloxane or ester compounds and the use thereof as additives for aqueous suspensions based on mineral or bituminous binders are described. The copolymers give aqueous suspensions of building materials excellent processing properties even in very small amounts, without delaying strength developments. In addition, when the copolymers of the invention are used, a drastic decrease in the water/binder ratio still leads to highly fluid building materials without segregation of individual constituents from the building material mixture occurring.

Abstract: The invention relates to a throttle device, comprising a butterfly valve which can be fitted into a flange joint of a conduit structure. The butterfly valve (26) can be integrated into a butterfly valve module (29). In order to increase the tightness of the butterfly valve in the closed position or to prevent rattling, the seals (15) which are necessary for sealing the flange joint (10) are guided into the interior of the conduit structure using sealing struts (16), where they form bearing surfaces for the edges of the butterfly valve. This construction does not involve any additional expenditure as no additional seals are required. The sealing struts can be directly injected onto the seals which are already required, involving no additional production steps. This has positive repercussions on the cost-effectiveness of the inventive solution.
