Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de distribution de bruit dans des substrats de haute résistance contenant un circuit intégré différentiel ou équilibré permettant d'obtenir une suppression de bruit par l'introduction de distributeurs de bruit. Le bruit émanant d'une source de bruit externe (5) est rendu isotrope par rapport aux branches d'un circuit intégré différentiel ou équilibré par la création d'un chemin de faible résistance adjacent au circuit intégré différentiel ou équilibré et formé généralement de deux transistors (A, B) ou groupes de transistors intégrés. Le chemin de faible résistance du cas général est symétrique par rapport aux transistors intégrés formant ainsi un distributeur destiné à la distribution uniforme du bruit. Le distributeur de bruit est ensuite conçu comme contact de substrat flottant (10) du même type de dopage qu'un substrat ou puits abritant un circuit différentiel ou équilibré. En outre, la forme du distributeur de bruit est optimisée par des simulations de la structure du chemin de faible résistance de distribution de bruit, laquelle structure ne doit pas être continue tant que le chemin de faible résistance est conservé.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for advancing and retracting a medical instrument within an introducer device, wherein the instrument includes a distal tip, a distal linear portion (909), a first distal curve (924), a substantially linear inter-curve portion (925), and a second proximal curve (926). The length of the distal linear portion and the angle of the first curve determine the position of the distal tip within a lumen of the introducer device, such that the distal tip occupies a substantially central transverse location within the lumen and the distal tip avoids contact with the introducer device. The length of the inter-curve portion and the angle of the second curve determine deflection of the distal tip from a longitudinal axis of the shaft when the second curve is extended distally beyond a distal end of the introducer device. Also, methods and apparatus for treating an intervertebral disc by ablation of disc tissue are disclosed.

Abstract: Infra-red absorbing polymers useful in imageable products and the lithographic printing field comprise infra-red absorbing groups carried as pendent groups on a polymer backbone. Certain infra-red absorbing groups may also act to insolublize the polymer in a developer, until it is imagewise exposed to infra-red radiation. The resulting heat renders the polymer soluble in the developer. Imagable products employing the infra-red absorbing polymers may include positive working lithographic printing plates.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau moule qui résoud les problèmes survenant lors de changements différentiels de géométrie, inhérents au coulage du métal dans un moule céramique, par la régulation de la morphologie intérieure entre les surfaces du moule qui font face à la pièce coulée et qui font face à l'environnement extérieur. Des techniques de fabrication stratifiée sont utilisées pour créer un moule céramique. Une géométrie intérieure composée d'un agencement cellulaire de vides peut, par exemple, être créée dans la paroi du moule. Des structures peuvent être conçues et fabriquées de façon que le moule céramique cède à un moment adéquat au cours de la solidification et/ou du refroidissement de la pièce coulée. Celle-ci reste ainsi intacte. Le moule cède pour éviter la rupture ou même la distortion de la pièce coulée. Une mince coque de céramique définit la cavité de la pièce coulée. Cette coque doit être assez mince pour céder à cause des contraintes (principalement de compression) induites par le métal adjacent et partiellement adhérent. Une structure support est dotée d'une morphologie qui supporte la fine coque définissant la géométrie de la pièce coulée, mais qui cède également lorsque la pièce coulée se solidifie et/ou refroidit. La structure support est généralement un réseau squelettique doté de vides. Les éléments du squelette peuvent être des étais, des feuilles ou les deux. Les mécanismes de bris suivants au moins peuvent être exploités dans la conception de la structure support : la flexion de la structure, et, sous des charges de compression, soit le flambage d'un élément support ou la rupture lors du chargement de compression. Le bris de la structure support peut également être imputée à une combinaison de flexion et de compression.

Title: Magnetic filter device
Inventor: IIDA SACHIHIRO
IPC: B03C1/033
Filed: 2001-09-04
Abstract: In a magnetic filter apparatus in which permanent
magnets are arranged to oppose each other with a container
therebetween so as to generate a magnetic line of force in
a direction substantially orthogonal to the moving
direction of the fluid in the interior of the container,
while regulating a filter passage time of the fluid in the
range of 0.5 to 1.5 seconds, the permanent magnets are
arranged so that the distance L (mm) between the permanent
magnets in relation to the residual magnetic flux density
B (T) of the permanent magnets satisfies the relationship:
 B × 100 ≤ L ≤ B × 250 
In this manner, the highest possible performance can be
obtained from the filter using general-purpose permanent
magnets such as ferrite or neodymium magnets, thereby
achieving size reduction of the apparatus at low equipment
cost.
