IPC: H03H17/02

Abstract: A wideband irregular signal is decomposed into respective frequency bands, the ratio of the highest to the lowest frequency within each band being in the ratio of approximately 3:1 and the total number of bands being 3 or 4. The wideband signal, or a re-constituted wideband signal formed by combining the decomposed components, is transmitted as a interrogating signal. A reflection of the interrogation signal is decomposed into respective frequency bands, and within each frequency bands the different components are compared. The results of the comparisons are combined to determine whether an object has been detected and, if so, its range. Decomposition of the wideband signal can be achieved by using a bank of low-pass filters in respective frequency bands, the output of each low-pass filter having subtracted therefrom the output from the filter with the next-lower frequency cut-off characteristic. Delay circuits are used within each channel so that the total delays in each individual channel are equal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating subfield codes for pictures displayed on a display device like plasma display panels (PDPs) or display devices wherein the grey level of the pixels of the pictures displayed by the display device is obtained by modulating the number of light pulses per frame or sustain pulses, the number of sustain pulses per subfield of the frame depending on the power average level of the picture to be displayed. The video levels of the pictures are first transcoded into luminance codes and then coded into subfield codes. In order to reduce the memory size required for implementing this transcoding, offset values between luminance codes are stored in a look-up table instead of storing the luminance codes. The luminance codes are then regenerated in the controller of the display device.

Abstract: A first sample of natural gas is injected into the first chromatographic column for a conventional separation. The components (Cd, Ck) are separated inside the column. They are detected in the form of a first chromatogram with two successive peaks (Pd, Pk). The novel process of identification, determines the dead time (Tm) before detection in the first chromatogram. The relative retention (alpha dk) between the two peaks Pd and Pk is determined. This is defined by the relationship alpha dk = (Tr(d) - Tm)/(Tr(k) -Tm), where Tr(d) and Tr(k) are the retention times associated with the two peaks Pd and Pk. The components Cd and Ck are identified by comparison of their relative retention with known relative retention values. The first chromatogram has a first composite peak, corresponding with a non-retained component. The dead time is associated with the delay until the composite peak is initiated. Further methods of identification based on the foregoing principles are described.

Abstract: Intended for being coupled to the hull of a ship on each
of the sides thereof and close to its bow, this device
consists of an arm (1) materialized in a casing (8) with an
almost semi-cylindrical configuration, inside of which a screw
(10) is housed that moves the crude towards the hull of the
ship, a casing stiffened by means of a plurality of back
brackets (13) and open towards the front and upwardly, the arm
having a float (21) on its free end and ending on its inner
end in a collection tank (3) where the screw (10) unloads,
where a transmission mechanism (22) is arranged that drives
said screw from within the ship, as well as a pipe connected
to a suction pump also arranged in the ship. Thus, when the
ship moves forward the crude enters inside the casing (B) and
within it is moved longitudinally towards the tank (3) from
where it is aspirated into the ship.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for damping vibrations in a vehicle steering wheel mounted on a steering main shaft connected to a pair of steered wheels via a steering linkage. According to a preferred embodiment, the steering main shaft comprises an inner or outer hollow portion along its longitudinal axis, which portion is filled with a granular material to a predetermined level. This level is proportional to the shape and cross-sectional area of the hollow portion and also the frequency range of the vibrations to be damped. By measuring the dimensions of the hollow portion, the volume of a predetermined material with a given density which is required in order to damp vibrations in a frequency range applying for the vehicle can be calculated.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un méthode d'analyse de méthylations de la cytosine dans des séquences d'ADN. Cette méthode permet de mettre l'ADN à analyser en réaction avec une cytidine déaminase qui désamine la cytidine plus rapidement que la 5-méthylcytidine. La cytosine est convertie en uracile par le processus de conversion, tandis que la 5-méthylcytidine demeure sensiblement inchangée. L'ADN prétraité aux enzymes est, de préférence, amplifié et peut être analysé par différentes méthodes. La méthode de l'invention est particulièrement appropriée pour le diagnostic de maladies cancéreuses et autres troubles associés à un changement des conditions de la méthylation, ainsi que pour le pronostic d'effets indésirables des médicaments.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des liposomes multicouches pour absorption transcutanée, et un procédé permettant de les préparer. Les liposomes multicouches décrits dans cette invention sont préparés au moyen d'un mélange de composants à phase huileuse comprenant le squalane, les stérols, les céramides, les lipides neutres ou les huiles neutres, les acides gras et les lécithines, et présentant une granulométrie comprise entre 200 et 5000 nm et pouvant piéger une substance physiologiquement active. Les liposomes multicouches décrits dans l'invention capturent une quantité plus importante de substance physiologiquement active et ils sont structurellement stables lorsqu'ils capturent ladite substance, par rapport à des liposomes unilamellaires. En outre, ces liposomes sont préparés selon un processus simple et économique n'utilisant pas d'homogénéisateur haute pression mais plutôt un homomélangeur classique. En outre, les liposomes multicouches préparés selon le mode de réalisation décrit dans cette invention présentant une plus grande taille que les espaces intercellulaires dans le stratum corneum, ils résistent à la tension des cellules environnantes lors du passage à travers les espaces intercellulaires et ils peuvent, ainsi, pénétrer dans le derme, comparé aux liposomes unilamellaires nanoscopiques. Pour ces raisons, les liposomes multicouches décrits dans cette invention sont utiles pour améliorer l'absorption transcutanée des substances physiologiquement actives.
