Abstract: Cette invention concerne un circuit hydraulique pour matériels de travaux publics. Lorsque les trois pompes hydrauliques de ce circuit sont sollicitées, les débits des première et deuxième pompes sont déterminés en fonction des pressions de refoulement P1 et P2 des première et deuxième pompes, ainsi que d'un pression de refoulement P3', qui s'obtient en réduisant la pression de refoulement P3 de la troisième pompe hydraulique au moyen d'une soupape réductrice de pression (14). Le débit de cette troisième pompe (3), est déterminé uniquement par la pression de refoulement de la troisième pompe hydraulique (3). Ainsi, l'une des trois pompes hydrauliques n'est pas concernée par les variations de couple des autres pompes. Il est donc possible de garantir un débit stable en empêchant que la pression de refoulement de la troisième pompe hydraulique soit influencée par la variation du liquide débité par les première et deuxième pompes hydrauliques (1) et (2), c'est-à-dire par la variation du couple absorbé.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a method of treating biological cells prior to subjecting the biological cells to cell fusion pulses which includes the step of treating the biological cells with pre-fusion electric field waveforms which change amplitude in a non-linear way with respect to time, such that the biological cells are first aligned with a relatively low amplitude, long duration pre-fusion electric field waveform and then compressed with a relatively high amplitude, short duration pre-fusion electric field waveform resulting in increased cell membrane contact prior to being subjected to cell fusion. The non-linear pre-fusion electric field waveforms can change in a stepped way, in a continuous way, in a sigmoidal way, with step-wise increasing waveforms in adjacent steps, with step-wise increasing waveforms in non-adjacent steps, and in accordance with non-linear algorithms.

Abstract: A user interface can display electronic ink in one section of a display device and corresponding recognized or converted text in another section of the display device that was generated from a electronic ink recognition system. Each page of electronic ink and each corresponding page of converted or recognized text are linked to one another. In other words, each page of electronic ink can be displayed only with its corresponding page of converted or recognized text until a command or message is received that editing of the converted or recognized text has been completed. Once the command or message is received that editing of the converted or recognized text has been completed, then the link between an electronic ink page and its corresponding converted text page is broken. This means that the converted text page can now be saved independently of its corresponding electronic ink page. <IMAGE>
