Granted: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A refractory composition is disclosed comprising a high purity silicon dioxide and a binder. This refractory composition may be applied by trowelling, brushing, casting, pumping and/or spraying it on a worn and/or damaged high purity silica refractory surface. A refractory castable composition is also disclosed that may be employed with forms. Further, an essentially non-slumping, sprayable refractory castable composition that is applied without the use of forms is provided. The sprayable refractory castable composition comprises (a) a tempered, pumpable first component comprising (i) a high purity silicon dioxide and a binder, and (ii) water if needed, to achieve a pumpable consistency, and (b) a second component comprising a flocculating agent. The flocculating agent is added to the first component for achieving installation of the sprayable refractory composition in an amount to prevent slumping of the sprayable refractory castable composition.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une presse à poinçonner associée à une machine laser et dont le système de presse à poinçonner et le plateau sont montés sur un premier bâti, le système laser étant monté sur un autre bâti. Les deux bâtis, qui ne sont pas en contact l'un avec l'autre, se présentent de façon qu'un élément en porte à faux du bâti du système laser déborde au-dessus du plateau. La tête de coupe laser, qui équipe l'extrémité de l'élément en porte à faux, vient en coïncidence au-dessus d'un emplacement particulier du plateau, en l'occurrence au point où le faisceau laser doit effectuer la découpe de la tôle. Ce point de découpe particulier est défini par rapport au point du plateau où le couple poinçon-matrice du système presse à poinçonner doit perforer la tôle. Le poste de poinçonnement peut être le siège de vibrations imputables, soit au choc du poinçon ou de la matrice contre la tôle, soit à l'environnement. Pour empêcher que de telles vibrations ne viennent affecter la précision du positionnement de la tête de coupe laser et endommager le système de coupe laser, le bâti du système laser est isolé du sol par plusieurs ressorts pneumatiques dont la pression variable est commandée par des régulateurs. Plusieurs supports de sécurité coopérant avec les ressorts pneumatiques empêchent l'effondrement du bâti du système laser au cas, improbable, où la pression appropriée viendrait à ne plus être maintenue dans les ressorts pneumatiques.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de modélisation et de visualisation de données empiriques de façon évolutive, hiérarchique et répartie, ainsi qu'un support de stockage lisible par machine destiné à créer un système de modélisation empirique à partir de données obtenues préalablement. Les données représentent des entrées vers le système et des sorties correspondantes à partir du système. Le procédé et le support de stockage lisible par machine font appel à une entropie basée sur une théorie de l'information et sur les principes de la thermodynamique pour prévoir avec précision les sorties de système depuis des entrées obtenues subséquemment. Le procédé et le support de stockage lisible par machine identifient la représentation la plus riche en informations (ou représentation optimale) d'un ensemble de données, de manière à afficher l'ordre sous-jacent, ou structure sous-jacente, de ce qui semble être un système en désordre. La programmation évolutive est un procédé mis en oeuvre pour identifier la représentation optimale de données.

Granted: 2015-02-03
Abstract: A novel nuclear receptor, termed the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR), a broad-specificity sensing receptor that is a novel branch of the nuclear receptor superfamily, has been discovered. SXR forms a heterodimer with RXR that can bind to and induce transcription from response elements present in steroid-inducible cytochrome P450 genes in response to hundreds of natural and synthetic compounds with biological activity, including therapeutic steroids as well as dietary steroids and lipids. Instead of hundreds of receptors, one for each inducing compound, the invention SXR receptors monitor aggregate levels of inducers to trigger production of metabolizing enzymes in a coordinated metabolic pathway. Agonists and antagonists of SXR are administered to subjects to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals dependent upon modulating metabolism of one or more endogenous steroids or xenobiotics to establish homeostasis. An assay is provided for identifying steroid drugs that are likely to cause drug interaction if administered to a subject in therapeutic amounts. Transgenic animals are also provided which express human SXR, thereby serving as useful models for human response to various agents which potentially impact P450-dependent metabolic processes.

Title: A method for filtering digital images, and a filtering device
Inventor: LAINEMA JANI
IPC: H04N19/89

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing visual artefacts in a digital image, which is coded by blocks (B1, B2, B3, B4) and then decoded. In the method filtering is performed to reduce visual artefacts due to a boundary (R12, R13, R24, R34) between a current block and an adjacent block (B1, B2, B3, B4). The filtering is performed after the current block (B1, B2, B3, B4) is decoded and there is a boundary available for filtering between the current block and a previously decoded block.

Abstract: The machine comprises a pair of risers (12) and a head (13) comprising a plurality of operating roller units (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) with rollers supported on the top and between said risers. According to the invention, said machine comprises a cover (14) pivotally mounted by means of a pin (14.1) with respect to said risers (12) and over said head (13) so to at least cover the gap on the top and on the front between the risers (12), in which said operating units are arranged, in its closed position. Cam means (16, 16.1) are functionally associated to said cover (14) and cam tracker means (17, 17.1) are functionally associated to a micro switch (18). The micro switch is electrically connected to the electrical power circuit of electrical geared motor means of the machine so that said micro switch (18) electrically closes the electrical circuit only when said cover (14) is correctly and completely closed (10) and consequently the electrical geared motor of the machine (10) can be turned along with the operating unit rollers (15.1, 15.2, 15.3) only in this condition.

Abstract: A system 10 for continuously monitoring the integrity of a structure 14 includes a sensor pad 16 having a surface 18. The surface 18 is provided with a set of first channels 22 and interspersed second channels 24. Surface 18 is sealed onto the surface 12 of structure 14 so that the channels 22, 24 together with surface 12 form respective sets of first and second cavities 26 and 28. The first cavities 26 are placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source 101 via a third channel 30. The second cavities 28 are vented to the atmosphere via a fourth channel 34, through hole 35, and conduit 36. A high impedance 102 is placed in series between the vacuum source 101 and the first cavities 26. A differential pressure transducer 103 is connected across the high impedance 102 and monitors for change in vacuum condition between the vacuum source 101 and the vacuum in the cavities 26. If a fault 40 were to develop in structure 14 opening onto surface 12 and propagate to form a fluid communication path between one of the cavities 26 and adjacent cavity 28 there will be a change in the vacuum condition of the cavity 26 which will be detected by the transducer 103.
