Abstract: A microphone includes a head and a shank and a separation board is
located between the head and the shank so as to define two chambers. The first
chamber has a first transferring member and the second chamber has a second
transferring chamber. The two transferring members each have a sound picking
device. The two transferring members generate a signal simultaneously when the
microphone is hit and the two respective signals are opposite to each other so as to
be eliminated. Therefore, the microphone does not generate huge noise.

Abstract: At least radio cover cell (2,3,4) with another base station (12,13,14) occupies position allowing it to cover edge zone (120,130,140) of considered cell (1). Computing system (30) determines cover map for other cells (2,3,4) and it assigns to pixels (34) of respective edge zones, composite inequality probability (Pc) representing the composition of probability (A) linked to emission from station (11) of considered cell and equivalent probability (B) linked to emission from stations (12,13,14). Method for establishing a radio cover map for at least a cell (1) of a cellular radiotelephony network, by means of a computing system (30) containing previously memorized data (32) of the geographic map containing the cell (1) and a base station (11). Previously memorized data gives the base station transmission level (35) and a sensitivity level to radio reception (S0) of a mobile terminal (21) in the cell, as well as radio propagation attenuation (33): (a) The computer (30) forms from map data (32) a map mesh (31) for the cell (1) with a set number (N1) of pixels (34), occupying positions from which it memorizes representative data; by comparing map data (32), specifying the station (11) position and position data for each pixel (34) taking into account attenuation (33), the computer calculates a number (N1) of radio propagation attenuation levels (35) from the station, a number of average reception levels (S1m) associated with pixels (34), that it memorizes (38); the computer compares the memorized average reception levels (S1m) to a sensitivity level (S0) to determine a number of inequality directions between the levels (S0) and (S1m) linked to each pixel and deduces the cell radio cover map. The method is characterized in that: (a) data (37) representing a time fluctuation law (370) for radio propagation attenuation has been made accessible to the computer (30) which applies this law to the number (N1) of average receptions levels (S1m); a corresponding number (N1) of probabilities (P,311) is determined for which the aforementioned inequalities have a set direction, and; a radio cover map is established by linking each pixel (34) with data representing the probability (P,311).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a epoxysilicone coated membrane by coating a porous asymmetric membrane layer with a UV-curable controlled release epoxysilicone coating. A mixture of the epoxysilicone resin and an onium photocatalyst are applied to the porous asymmetric membrane layer in a dilute non-polar solution and cured by UV or electron beam radiation to produce a dry epoxysilicone coated membrane. The porous asymmetric membrane layer is comprised of an asymmetric cellulosic membrane or an asymmetric polymer membrane with a low selectivity. The epoxysilicone coating was found to provide the asymmetric membrane layer with improved selectivity which extends to separation temperatures below 70 °C and provides stable flux rates. Membranes produced in this manner are useful for the separation of gases such as carbon dioxide from natural gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening and identifying test compounds that bind to a preselected target ribonucleic acid ('RNA'). Direct, non-competitive binding assays are advantageously used to screen libraries of compounds for those that selectively bind to a preselected target RNA. Binding of target RNA molecules to a particular test compound is detected using any physical method that measures the altered physical property of the target RNA bound to a test compound. The structure of the test compound attached to the labeled RNA is also determined. The methods used will depend, in part, on the nature of the library screened. The methods of the present invention provide a simple, sensitive assay for high-throughput screening of libraries of compounds to identify pharmaceutical leads.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a method
for producing metallic iron, which comprises the steps of
supplying a mixture containing a carbonous reducing agent
and iron oxides onto a hearth of a reduction melting furnace
of the moving hearth type, heating the mixture for reduction
melting of the iron oxides, cooling thus-obtained metallic
iron, and discharging the metallic iron to the outside of
the furnace for recovery. The method can easily remove or
repair the surface of a hearth even when metallic iron
powder is buried in the hearth surface or even when the
hearth surface suffers from slag infiltration and erosion,
can increase an availability factor and maintainability of
the hearth, and is suitably practiced for long-term
continuous operation. 
     The present invention resides in a method for producing
metallic iron, wherein a hearth material is laid in the form
of a layer on the hearth prior to supply of the mixture,
thereby forming a renewable hearth capable of being renewed,
and the metallic iron is produced while renewing a part or
the whole of the renewable hearth, which has deteriorated
during operation, with the hearth material.
