Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A coating apparatus deposits a first coating (single or multi-layered) onto a first side of a substrate (e.g., glass substrate) passing through the apparatus, and a second coating (single or multi-layered) onto the other or second side of the substrate. In certain example embodiments, the first coating may be deposited via sputtering while the second coating is deposite d via ion beam deposition. In such a manner, it is possible to coat both sides of the substrate in a single apparatus in an efficient manner. In other embodiments, the coating apparatus may sputter a coating onto a first side o f the substrate and ion beam mill at leaste one surface of the substrate as th e substrate passes through the coating apparatus. In other embodiments of this invention, a dual mode chamber may be provided that is adapted to receive a removable ion beam module on one side of a substrate and a removable sputtering module on the other side of the substrate. The different removabl e modules may or may not be used simultaneously in different embodiments of th is invention.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'effectuer des diagnostics dans une boucle de commande pneumatique d'une soupape de commande. Des capteurs de pression et de déplacement (68, 84), généralement fournis avec un positionneur (14), permettent de détecter des paramètres de fonctionnement de la boucle de commande. Un processeur (18, 20), programmé pour recevoir des informations en retour des capteurs, génère des signaux de défaillance conformément à un sous-programme logique, lequel peut consister à calculer le débit massique du fluide de commande traversant les orifices de sortie de la soupape à tiroir (26) et à comparer d'autres paramètres de fonctionnement du fluide de commande pour détecter des fuites et des obstructions dans la boucle de commande. Une fois la défaillance détectée, on peut identifier l'emplacement de sa cause profonde en caractérisant les paramètres de fonctionnement de la boucle de commande au moment de la défaillance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de détruire sélectivement des cellules mitotiques dans un tissu vivant constitué de cellules mitotiques et de cellules non mitotiques. Ces cellules mitotiques contiennent des éléments intracellulaires polarisables; pendant l'anaphase ou la télophase tardive, les cellules mitotiques sont reliées les unes aux autres par un sillon de clivage. Le dispositif décrit dans cette invention comprend des électrodes isolées conçues pour être couplées à un générateur pour soumettre le tissu vivant à des conditions de champ électrique suffisantes pour provoquer le déplacement des éléments intracellulaires polarisables vers le sillon de clivage en réaction à un champ électrique non homogène induit dans les cellules mitotiques. Le déplacement des éléments intracellulaires polarisables vers le sillon de clivage provoque leur décomposition, ce qui a un effet négatif sur la multiplication des cellules mitotiques. De préférence, un élément intermédiaire est disposé entre chaque électrode isolée et la surface de la peau; chaque élément intermédiaire comprend une plaque conductrice "flottante" qui protège le patient contre les effets d'une défaillance de l'isolation de l'électrode.

Abstract: In an information communication system, user personal information is batch-managed in a user management center apparatus. The center apparatus issues temporary information, which includes temporary user information and temporary authentication information, in response to a log-in request from a user terminal apparatus that designates a net-shop apparatus, and sends the information to the user terminal apparatus and the designated net-shop apparatus. Thereby, if the user terminal apparatus sends an authentication request to the net-shop apparatus on the basis of the information, the net-shop apparatus can authenticate the user terminal apparatus on the basis of the information from the user management center apparatus. At this time, the user personal information does not go to the net-shop apparatus, and there is no need for the net-shop apparatus to manage the user personal information.
