Patent EP-1422144-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI SUSUMU
IPC: A01G17/08
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A rib (206c) is formed on a ceiling surface of a
tape guide mounted on a driver handle of a binding machine
for gardening, and two plate springs (224a, 224b) are
mounted on the bottom plate portion of the tape guide. The
plate spring (224a), which is situated on the downstream
side, is elastically contacted with the rib (206c) to
thereby allow the plate spring (224a) and rib (206c) to
hold tape (T) between them, while the upstream-side plate
spring (224b) is contacted with the tape. When a tape roll
is rotated reversely and the tape is thereby pulled back,
tension is applied to the tape existing between the rib
(206c) and tape roll, and the upstream-side plate spring
(224b) is raised up due to the friction of the tape to
curve a passage of the tape, which increases the frictional
resistance of the tape to thereby be able to prevent the
tape (T) against reverse movement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une matière composite qui, lorsqu'elle a un contenu de remplissage exceptionnellement élevé, peut être extrudée d'une seringue dentaire et reste facilement facilement adaptable dans la cavité dentaire. Lorsque des matières de cette invention sont traitées, des restaurations dentaires présentent une dureté de surface exceptionnellement élevée et une limite d'élasticité, ainsi qu'un faible rétrécissement de volume, lors du traitement. On peut les obtenir en utilisant un mélange de particules de remplissage avec une taille spécifique, une gamme de tailles et une relation entre les tailles. Une telle combinaison de propriétés rend la matière de cette invention particulièrement utile à la restauration de cavités dans des dents postérieures.

Abstract: In a matrix-addressable optoelectronic apparatus comprising a functional medium in the form of an optoelectronically active material (3) provided in a global layer in sandwich between a first and second electrode means (EMl,EM2) with parallel strip-like electrodes (1; 2) wherein the electrodes (2) of the second electrode means (EM2) are oriented at an angle to the electrodes (1) of the first electrode means (EM2), functional elements (5) are formed in the active material where respective electrodes (1, 2) overlap and correspond to optically active pixels (5) in a display device or pixels (5) in an optical detector, depending upon the active material (3) used. In each of the electrode means (EM1; EM2) the electrodes (1; 2) are provided in a dense parallel configuration and mutually insulated by a thin film (6) with a thickness that is only a fraction of the width of the electrodes. This allows for a fill factor of pixels (5) in the active material (3) approaching unity and a corresponding high degree of pixellation, thus providing either a display with a high surface brightness and high resolution or an optical detector with high sensitivity and high resolution.

Abstract: The invention relates to an open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet system (1) for use in a medical imaging system. The open MRI magnet system has two main coil units which are accomodated, at some distance from each other, in a first housing (2) and in a second housing (3), respectively. Between the two housings, an imaging volume (6) is present wherein a patient to be examined is placed. A gradient coil unit (9, 10) facing the imaging volume is present near a side of each of the two housings. Functional connections of the gradient coil units (9, 10), such as electrical power supply lines (13, 14) and cooling channels (15, 16) are provided in a central passage (4, 5) which is present in each of the two housings. As a result, these functional connections do not reduce the space in the imaging volume available for the patient. The central passages and the electrical power supply lines provided therein are parallel to the direction of the main magnetic field of the open MRI magnet system, so that the Lorentz forces exerted on the power lines are limited.

Abstract: An universal technique to identify genomic DNA-binding elements in vivo that interact
with known and well characterized biomolecules like transcription factors, on the entire
genomic DNA in any living organisms, tissues or cells (prokaryotes and/or eukaryotes).
This technique allows the determination of the associated genes in silico. The DNA
sequences are determined containing both, the recognition elements of the biomolecules
on the DNA and parts of the corresponding genes that can be used for the expression
analysis of the target genes, or are modulated by the complex formation of, for example,
transcription factors. This technique enables the simultaneous identification of DNA-recognition
elements and expression analysis of target genes and an assessment of its
importance for gene expression. 
     This technique is used to develop transcription-factors and other DNA-interacting
biomolecules-specific recognition element libraries including flanking DNA sequences,
e.g. coding sequences.
