Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système et à un procédé de détection d'infections bactériennes dans le tractus gastro-intestinal. Dans un mode de réalisation selon l'invention, le système comprend une première composition séparée d'une seconde composition. La première composition contient de l'urée sous forme poudreuse ; la seconde composition contient un indicateur. Une biopsie d'un échantillon gastrique est d'abord mise en contact avec la première composition puis ajoutée dans la seconde composition. Cette seconde composition indique la présence d'une enzyme qui, à son tour, indique la présence de bactéries. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une biopsie d'un échantillon gastrique est mise en contact avec une seule composition. La composition contient de l'urée sous forme poudreuse combinée avec un indicateur sec. En plus de l'urée et d'un indicateur sec, la composition contient un antimottant. Le système selon l'invention peut comprendre un contenant afin de recueillir la composition. Un instrument de manipulation de spécimen peut être placé dans le contenant afin de manipuler un échantillon de biopsie.

Title: Dispositif de commande destine au reglement de puissance multiplex fm 412
Inventor: ORBAN ROBERT A
IPC: H03G11/00
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande à rétroaction, encastré dans un processeur audio FM, qui commande la « puissance multiplex intégrée » selon les exigences de ITU-R 412 (2,51). Ce règlement spécifie la puissance maximum, qui est égale à la puissance produite par une puissance sinusoïdale modulant le support +/-19kHz (+/-75kHz représentant 100 % de la modulation de crête). Le dispositif de commande applique le carré du signal multiplex à un intégrateur. Une constante est retirée de l'intégrateur, laquelle représente le seuil de puissance maximum. La sortie de l'intégrateur est échantillonnée de façon périodique avec un circuit d'échantillonnage et de stockage. Un second intégrateur reçoit la sortie du circuit d'échantillonnage et de stockage. La sortie du second circuit intégrateur est ajoutée au réglage seuil d'un compresseur, qui détermine la sortie de puissance moyenne du compresseur. Cette sortie est appliquée par l'intermédiaire du dispositif de commande de crête à l'entrée du codeur multiplex, fermant la boucle de rétroaction qui commande la puissance multiplex intégrée à un seuil préétabli.

vehicle. If the angular rate and the angle correspond to a safety system activation
event, the roll sensor system will provide a trigger signal to the safety system. In
some embodiments, the system includes an incline sensor(s) to aid in detecting and
compensating for drift in the output of the angular rate sensor. In other
