Abstract: This invention is a neonatal airway adapter (10) with a sliding internal passage (54), which virtually eliminates void volumes (112) within the bore (76) of the airways, such that mixing of the exhales pages with void gases is reduced, and the waveform of the breath is maintained without undue distortion. Furthermore, the virtual elimination of void volumes reduces the level of re-breathing. The neonatal airway adapter connects to endotracheal tube adapters is such a way as to nullify the effect of the differing internal diameters (20) and internal lengths which are used in ET adapters currently available. The cross section of the internal bore of the airway through which the breath flows from the ET adapter to the connector of the ventilator is maintained almost constant, especially in the region of the gas sampling point (66), to ensure that reasonable conditions of laminar flow, and accurate sampling are maintained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un matériau photocatalytique comprenant des cristaux d'oxyde de titane dans lesquels sont insérés et des atomes d'azote. Ce matériau peut être produit par au moins un des procédé suivants: substitution d'une partie des sites d'oxygène des cristaux d'oxyde de titane par des atomes d'azote, dopage par introduction d'atomes d'azote dans le réseau cristallin de l'oxyde de titane, ou dopage par introduction d'atomes d'azote dans la périphérie des grains de l'oxyde de titane, ou une combinaison de ces procédés. Ce matériau photocatalytique comprend une liaison chimique entre Ti et un atome de N formée par exemple par un des traitements décrits ci-dessus, cette liaison produisant une activité photocatalytique par absorption du rayonnement visible. On peut préparer par exemple un article photocatalytique en formant une couche mince de Ti-O-N d'une épaisseur égale ou inférieure à 10 νm sur un substrat. On obtient ainsi un nouveau matériau photocatalytique présentant une activité photocatalytique pour le rayonnement visible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de filtrage rinçable, destiné à être utilisé notamment comme filtre à carburant ou filtre à huile dans un moteur. Ledit appareil comprend des canaux (2, 3) d'entrée et de sortie destinés à l'écoulement à filtrer, un certain nombre d'éléments (5) de filtrage parallèles, ouverts à leurs deux extrémités (6, 7), au niveau desquels se produit l'infiltration au travers de la chemise, de l'intérieur à l'extérieur de l'élément, et des organes (15) de lavage disposés au niveau de différentes extrémités des éléments de filtrage, lesdits organes pouvant également être montés sur différentes extrémités des éléments de filtrage pour faire office de canaux (16) d'évacuation destinés au refoulement des éléments généré par la pression de l'écoulement filtré. L'invention est caractérisé en ce que chacun des éléments (5) de filtrage est divisé en deux entre ses extrémités (6, 7), de manière que l'organe (15) de lavage monté sur l'extrémité de l'élément génère un refoulement uniquement sur une partie de la longueur de l'élément à la fois. Du fait que les parties (13, 14) de l'élément de filtrage sont fonctionnellement indépendantes l'une de l'autre, la première partie peut être rincée pendant que l'autre partie est filtrée. La séparation en deux de l'élément (5) de filtrage peut être réalisée au moyen d'une cloison solide (12) ou d'un étranglement, ce qui permet de générer un écoulement de lavage dans la partie de l'élément que l'on veut simultanément rincer.

Abstract: A system for determining the location of an object includes an interrogator remote from the object and a transponder located at the object. The interrogator receives GPS signals and transmits pre-positioning data and a tracking signal to the transponder. The pre-positioning data includes pseudorandom noise (PRN) code number, Doppler frequency offset and code phase offset while the tracking signal includes reference time and frequency information. The transponder collects RF samples of at least one of the GPS signals associated with one of the PRN code numbers and correlates the RF samples of the GPS signal against code replicas of the GPS signal based on the Doppler frequency offset, code phase offset and reference time and frequency information for that GPS signal to produce the correlation snapshot. The transponder transmits the correlation snapshot to the interrogator and the interrogator determines the pseudorange associated with the GPS signal using the correlation snapshot.
