Patent EP-0309591-A4 (EP)
Title: Method and apparatus for controlling transmissions
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 1988-04-11
Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a structure in which electronic pressure control valves (21-24) are connected separately to the clutches (H, L, 1st, 2nd) in a transmission having a two-step clutch system consisting of main speed change gears (1st, 2nd) and auxiliary speed change gears (H, L) to enable each clutch to be controlled independently. In the case where a discharge rate of a pump at the time of starting the engine is not sufficiently high with both auxiliary clutches and main clutches required to be engaged, the speed change is done by supplying a hydraulic pressure at staggered time to the clutches (H, L) in the main speed change gear and the clutches (1st, 2nd) in the auxiliary speed change gear so that the supply of a hydraulic pressure to the main clutches is started after the filling of the auxiliary clutches has been completed, whereby variations in the filling time, which is ascribed to a decrease in the discharge rate of the pump, are minimized.

IPC: B01D69/08
Filed: 1989-11-10
Abstract: Le procédé décrit, qui sert à fabriquer une fibre creuse poreuse polymère (21), consiste à chauffer un mélange constitué d'un polymère thermoplastique et d'un solvant à une température et pour une durée permettant la dissolution mutuelle du polymère et du solvant, puis à introduire le mélange en fusion dans une tête d'extrusion destinée à façonner la fibre creuse. La fibre ainsi façonnée est ensuite refroidie dans la tête d'extrusion à une température telle qu'il se produit une séparation liquide-liquide en état de non-équilibre, laquelle permet la formation d'une matrice bi-continue du polymère et du solvant, dans laquelle le polymère et le solvant forment deux phases séparées entremêlées de grande superficie interfaciale. Le solvant est finalement extrait du polymère. La tête d'extrusion qui sert à former la fibre creuse poreuse polymère mentionnée ci-dessus comprend un corps allongé (17, 18) définissant un passage axial (11) destiné à recevoir un fluide (14) formant des ouvertures, et un premier passage annulaire (12) entourant le passage axial et destiné à recevoir le mélange en fusion (15) à partir duquel est formée la fibre creuse (21).

Un troisième passage annulaire (19) reçoit un fluide de refroidissement et comporte un organe (20) destiné à diriger le fluide de refroidissement vers la surface externe du fluide d'enrobage (16). Le matériau polymère poreux de la fibre produite par ledit procédé présente une structure filamenteuse ou en dentelle composée de plusieurs torons polymères reliés entre eux en des points espacés le long de chaque toron.
Patent EP-0435964-A4 (EP)
Title: Energy saving protocol for a communication system
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1990-02-20
Abstract: A centralized communication system controller (102) measures and stores a historical record of each subscriber unit's communication activity. By examining this historical record, the controller predicts the subscriber unit's communication activity over a future time interval. A code based upon this prediction is transmitted to the subscriber unit (110), which causes the subscriber unit to enter an energy saving mode and deactivate (208) non-essential circuits for a time period represented by the code. In this way, the duration of the "sleep" interval may be optimally varied based upon the subscriber unit's communication history. In another aspect of the invention, unexpected messages for a subscriber unit in the energy saving mode are stored (114) electronically until the conclusion of the "sleep" interval. This message storing function enhances system efficiency when the subscriber unit's communication history does not correlate with actual communication traffic. <IMAGE>

Title: Use of thiol redox proteins for reducing disulfide bonds.
Inventor: BUCHANAN BOB B
IPC: A23L7/152
Filed: 1992-10-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US92/08595 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 21, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 21, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 8, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/08274 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 29, 1993Methods of reducing cystine containing animal and plant proteins, and improving dough and baked goods' characteristics is provided which includes the steps of mixing dough ingredients with a thiol redox protein to form a dough and baking the dough to form a baked good. The method of the present invention preferably uses reduced thioredoxin with wheat flour which imparts a stronger dough and higher loaf volumes. Methods for reducing snake, bee and scorpion toxin proteins with a thiol redox (SH) agent and thereby inactivating the protein or detoxifying the protein in an individual are also provided. Protease inhibitors, including the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors of soybean, were also reduced by the NADP/thioredoxin system (NADPH, thioredoxin, and NADP-thioredoxin reductase). When reduced by thioredoxin, the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk soybean trypsin inhibitors lose their ability to inhibit trypsin. Moreover, the reduced form of the inhibitors showed increased susceptibility to heat and proteolysis by either subtilisin or a protease preparation from germinating wheat seeds. The 2S albumin of castor seed endosperm was reduced by thioredoxin. Thioredoxin was reduced by either NADPH and NADP-thioredoxin reductase or dithiothreitol. Analyses showed that thioredoxin actively reduced the intramolecular disulfides of the 2S large subunit, but was ineffective in reducing the intermolecular disulfides that connect the large to the small subunit. A novel cystine containing protein that inhibits pullulanase was isolated; thioredoxin reduction of this protein destroyed or greatly reduced its inhibitory activity.

Title: Optical catheter with stranded fibers.
Inventor: WARDLE JOHN L
IPC: A61B18/22
Filed: 1993-08-26
Abstract: A catheter (10) having an axis extending between a proximal end (18) an an opposite distal end (32) includes a plurality of optical fibers (70) arranged to spiral in a first direction to form a circumferential layer around the axis. Rotation of the catheter in the first direction tends to expand the layer while rotation of the catheter in a second opposite direction tends to contract the circumferential layer. An outer jacket (67) limits the contraction of the circumferential layer to increase torquability of the catheter. The stranded fibers (70) equalize bending stresses to maintain a circular cross-sectional configuration, increase flexibility and reduce diameter for the catheter.

Title: Method and apparatus for identifying, classifying, or quantifying dna sequences in a sample without sequencing
Inventor: ROTHBERG JONATHAN M
IPC: G16B30/00
Filed: 1996-10-24
Abstract: This invention provides methods by which biologically derived DNA sequences in a mixed sample or in an arrayed single sequence clone can be determined and classified without sequencing. The methods make use of information on the presence of carefully chosen target subsequences, typically of length from 4 to 8 base pairs, and preferably the length between target subsequences in a sample DNA sequence together with DNA sequence databases containing lists of sequences likely to be present in the sample to determine a sample sequence. The preferred method uses restriction endonucleases to recognize target subsequences and cut the sample sequence. Then carefully chosen recognition moieties are ligated to the cut fragments, the fragments amplified, and the experimental observation made. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the preferred method of amplification. Several alternative embodiments are described which are capable of increased discrimination and which use TypeIIS restriction endonucleases, various capture moieties, or samples of specially synthesized cDNA. Another embodiment of the invention uses information on the presence or absence of carefully chosen target subsequences in a single sequence clone together with DNA sequence databases to determine the clone sequence. Computer implemented methods are provided to analyze the experimental results and to determine the sample sequences in question and to carefully choose target subsequences in order that experiments yield a maximum amount of information.

Abstract: Un raccord terminal femelle possède une structure qui ne permet pas à un métal d'apport fondu d'obturer une section de tuyau à l'intérieur de laquelle on introduit un raccord terminal mâle. Des sections évidées en entailles (9) sont formées en opposition au niveau des extrémités inférieures des faces latérales (3a et 3b) d'un raccord terminal femelle. Ledit raccord terminal femelle (1) est bloqué par des bras de blocage (7), à déploiement horizontal, en saillie par rapport à la surface arrière d'une carte de câblage imprimé (11) à partir d'un orifice d'insertion (12). Dans cet état, la surface arrière de la carte (11) est plongée dans le métal d'apport (21). Lorsque l'on retire la carte du métal d'apport (21) fondu qui obture la section du tuyau en constituant un pont, ledit métal est transformé en gouttelettes et il goutte des sections évidées (9), du fait que la mouillabilité de la section du tuyau (2) par le métal d'apport (21) est réduite et du fait que les sections évidées (9) amoindrissent la capacité d'adhésion. Le reste du métal d'apport (21) se fixe à la bordure périphérique de l'extrémité de la section du tuyau (2) en dehors des sections évidées (9) en raison de la tension superficielle et il se solidifie.
