Abstract: A sensor for sensing a parameter such as position, comprises: (i) an excitation winding for example coils (7, 9) in quadrature; (ii) a signal generator (41, 42, 43) operable to generate an excitation signals and arranged to apply the generated excitation signal to the excitation winding; (iii) a sense coil (11) that can be electromagnetically coupled to the excitation winding such that, in response to the excitation signal being applied to the excitation winding by the signal generator, a periodic electric signal is generated in the sense coil that is indicative of the value of the parameter to be measured by the sensor; and (iv) a signal processor (108) operable to process the periodic electric signal generated in the sensor winding to determine a value representative of the parameter being measured. The signal processor may be arranged to generate a second signal (f1) at a frequency slightly different from that of the excitation signal, and to mix the second signal with the signal received from the sense coil to generate a third signal having a frequency component (f0-f1) equal to the difference between the frequency of the excitation signal and that of the second signal. The processing unit then determines the parameter from the phase of the third signal.

Abstract: A very low density sound absorbing layer(2) is covered on the back foaming side with a cover layer(3) which prevents foam penetration and is placed in a foam molding tool. Pressure is increased in the absorber layer in the closed tool via the non back-foamed side before the back foaming stage occurs.  Pressure is applied by a gas, in particular compressed air. Applied pressure is 0.5-7 bar, in particular 1-3 bar. The cover layer(3) on the back foaming side is either a fleece or film. The sound absorbing layer(2) may be an open cell or part open cell foam with a density of 5-38kg/cu m or a molded cold foam with a density of 35-190kg/cu m and a foam blocking cover layer. A further alternative absorbing layer comprises a non-compressed fleece with a foam blocking cover layer on the back foaming side. Pressure increase is controlled by valves before and during the foaming stage. An Independent claim is included for an absorber system comprising a foam or fleece layer with a cover layer(3,4) on one or both sides and a back foam layer(5).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of yessotoxins in the treatment of allergic and asthmatic processes. The mechanism of action of yessotoxin (YTX) and analogs thereof is related to cellular phosphodiesterase activation, and accordingly to the decrease of cytosolic cAMP levels. The result of this activation after the administration of YTX is inhibition of the immunological activation of mast cells in rats and therefore of histamine release. This effect can be used as a strategy for the treatment of allergic and asthmatic processes.
