Patent EP-1409964-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BOYTON DESMOND BRUCE
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un détecteur de position codant une position absolue via n éléments consécutifs d'une séquence pseudo-aléatoire de bits, dans laquelle chaque bit (30a-30k) comprend une région de haute transmission ou réflexivité adjacente à une région de basse transmission ou réflectivité. La séquence pseudo-aléatoire est choisie de telle sorte que chaque série de bits consécutifs (30a-30k) de la dite séquence soit formée essentiellement à partir d'une valeur binaire déterminée (1 ou 0). La lumière transmise ou réfléchie par la série est donc détectée sous forme d'un schéma d'intensité sensiblement périodique (42), que l'on peut traiter au moyen d'une analyse de Fourier et qui donne une interpolation précise de position relative. Est fourni un exemple de séquence pseudo-aléatoire, qui peut être représentée sous la forme d'un code de Manchester cyclique dans lequel au moins 8 éléments de chaque série e 11 bits consécutifs a une valeur binaire de 1.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for rapidly culturing
a large amount of human chondrocytes to give normal chondrocytes
or a mass thereof. The culture method comprises co-culturing human
chondrocytes together with perichondral cells in the chondrogenic
stage, as feeder cells, which support the proliferation ability
of the chondrocytes, to allow rapid culturing of the human
chondrocytes in a large amount.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique optique non linéaire sélective en surface, par exemple génération de la deuxième harmonique ou de la fréquence-somme, utilisée pour détecter des réactions entre des sondes fixées aux surfaces et des cibles étiquetées, ou pour réaliser l'imagerie d'une surface. Ladite technique permet de détecter uniquement les composants cibles à proximité de l'interface et d'ignorer ceux présents dans la masse de l'échantillon. En outre, l'orientation de la lumière non linéaire est diffusée de la surface dans une direction bien définie et, de ce fait, son incidence sur le détecteur à quelque distance de la surface peut être aisément mise en correspondance dans un emplacement spécifique et connu sur la surface.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sparger system comprising sparger 6 and
sparger 8 provided for appropriately feeding reactant streams to a fluidised bed
reactor 4 of hydrocarbon partial oxidation processes that are retrofitted to selectively
recover and recycle unreacted hydrocarbons. A mixture of air and oxygen is

equipment is minimized, while at the same time, the desired fluidization and catalyst
oxidation characteristics are achieved without the formation of flammable mixtures

bimetal 26 is inverted from a convex state in an upward
direction shown in (b) to a concave state in the upward
direction shown in (c) due to a thermal response in hot
air which exceeds a set temperature, and an arc, which
occurs between the contacts when an electric current
is interrupted to make the movable contact 23 draw apart
rapidly from the fixed contact 27, comes out of the
contacts by being carried away and is spattered to a
peripheral conductive member, and the peripheral
conductive member is extraordinarily heated, melted,
