Abstract: A medical device comprising a shape memory alloy (SMA) portion is provided. The SMA portion is deformable from an undeformed first configuration assumed by it in the austenitic state to a deformed second configuration, such that the deformation converts it into a strair-induced martensitic or partial martensitic state with an increase in A s from its original temperature A s° , to a temperature A s' when the SMA portion, once in said second configuration, is heated to a temperature higher than AB', it transforms to an at least partial austenitic state, which transformation results in a change in configuration from the deformed second configuration towards the undeformed first configuration and in a decrease of A s from A s' to A s° , such that the SMA portion is stable in the at least partial austenitic state at the body temperature.

Granted: 2005-10-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assigning identifiers, contained in signals emitted by transmitters in a tire pressure control system, to the position of the wheels where the transmitters are located. Said system comprises a pressure sensor, a transmitter and a transmit antenna on each of a plurality of wheels of a vehicle, one or more receive antennas on the vehicle body, and receiving and evaluating units connected to this body via cables. In this method, the signals containing the identifier are intercepted by the receive antenna(s) and transmitted to the receiving and evaluating units, where they are evaluated in accordance with their identifiers. The invention is characterized in that, for the monitored wheels, not just the air pressure in the tires, but also the acceleration obtained from the movement of the wheel is measured. A signal derived therefrom is transmitted via the relevant transmitter in the receiving or evaluating circuit, and evaluated for the information contained in the signal regarding the position of the wheel which emitted the signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for offering, ordering and selling goods and services according to which at least one provider (1) offers said products to a plurality of participants (7) in a mobile telephone network (20) via different communication channels (61, 62, 63). Interested participants (7) enter an offer identification into their mobile telephones and through short messages transmit (10) said identification to a service centre (11) via the mobile telephone network (20). The service centre (11) recognizes a participant (7) and links data contained in the short message with participant identification data.      In the case of at least some of the products offered the available quantity thereof is memorized (101) and a token is generated (204) for a deliverable order which has been received. The token is transmitted (14, 15) to the supplier (1) concerned and to the mobile telephone of the relevant participant (7). For each received order for which a token was generated the quantity indicated is decreased (208) and a product ceases (16) to be offered when the quantity indicated is zero (209) or the product has passed its expiry date.

Abstract: Security documents (e.g. passports, currency, event tickets, and the like) are encoded to convey machine-readable multi-bit binary information (e.g. digital watermark), usually in a manner not alerting human viewers that such information is present. The documents can be provided with overt or subliminal calibration patterns. When a document incorporating such a pattern is scanned (e.g. by a photocopier), the pattern facilitates detection of the encoded information notwithstanding possible scaling or rotation of the scan data. The calibration pattern can serve as a carrier for the watermark information, or the watermark can be encoded independently. In one embodiment, the watermark and the calibration pattern are formed on the document by an intaglio process, with or without ink. A photocopier responsive to such markings can take predetermined action if reproduction of a security document is attempted. A passport processing station responsive to such markings can use the decoded binary data to access a database having information concerning the passport holder. Some such apparatuses detect both the watermark data and the presence of a visible structure characteristic of a security document (e.g., a printed seal of the document's issuer).

Abstract: Apparatus and method accomplishes the precision pouring of a liquid from a vessel (20) to a predetermined position with a controlled rate of flow. Independently controllable horizontal and vertical translation of the vessel (20) is accomplished by using two rotational elements (30, 40) lying in substantially parallel planes, with the rotational axis of the second element (40) passing through the first element (30), and having offset first and second axes of rotation. Independently controlled tilting of the vessel (20) about a third axis of rotation that passes through the second element (40) maintains a desired pour rate and aim point of the pour stream. The apparatus is particularly useful when the vessel (20) and the container (25) that receives the liquid are inside of a sealed chamber (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (300) for tuning the wavelength of the light in an external cavity laser. The external cavity laser comprises an optically amplifying semiconductor chip (310), a first reflecting surface (312), an Anti-Reflection (AR) coated semiconductor chip facet (314), a diffraction grating (330) on which at least part of the beam originating from the AR coated semiconductor chip facet (314) is incident and diffracted back to the optically amplifying semiconductor chip (310), means (320) for collimating the light emitted from the AR coated semiconductor chip facet (314) towards the diffraction grating (330), and a movable part (360) by means of the movement of this said part the wavelength of the light can be tuned in the external cavity laser. The movable part (360) of the external cavity laser exhibits a rotational movement relative to the optical axis of the external cavity laser, the optical axis being defined by the center of the beam propagating between the first and the second reflecting surface, said movement being actuated by an electrodynamic force generated within an integral section of said movable part.

Abstract: An operational lever for a bush cutter includes a handle housed in a handle case, a throttle lever pivotally mounted to the handle, and a lock lever pivotally mounted to the handle.      The operational lever further includes a torsion coil spring which exerts a resilient force on the lock lever. The lock lever is pivoted from an initial position to a pivoted position by an operator's palm. The throttle lever is then pivoted to a half-pivoted position by operator's fingers. When the palm is moved a small distance away from the handle case with the throttle lever held in the half-pivoted position, the lock lever is pivoted back towards the initial position by a resilient force of the spring. This causes a curved surface of a side protrusion portion of the lock lever to engage or abut on a side of a protrusion portion of the throttle lever. This arrangement is advantageous in that even when the operator takes her or his fingers off the throttle lever, the throttle lever is locked by a friction force produced between the curved surface and the side.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des antigènes du virus herpès simplex (HSV) qui servent dans la prévention et le traitement des infections à l'HSV. Cette invention concerne des épitopes dont on a confirmé qu'ils sont reconnus par les lymphocytes T dérivés des lésions de l'herpès. Les lymphocytes T ayant une spécificité pour les antigènes de cette invention ont démontré une activité cytotoxique contre les cellules chargées d'épitopes de peptides à codage viral et, dans beaucoup de cas, contre les cellules infectées par le virus HSV. L'identification des antigènes immunogènes responsables de la spécificité des lymphocytes T fournit des stratégies thérapeutiques et prophylactiques antivirales améliorées. Des compositions contenant des antigènes ou des polynucléotides codant des antigènes de cette invention fournissent des vaccins efficacement ciblés pour la prévention et le traitement des infections à l'HSV.
