Abstract: La présente invention concerne la surveillance de la teneur en xénon d'un mélange gazeux médical de xénon, composant actif, avec une composition connue d'oxygène, et éventuellement d'azote et/ou d'hélium, en recirculation dans un dispositif médical (103). Du gaz carbonique est introduit dans le mélange au niveau de ce dispositif. La surveillance se fait par retrait (135, 133) de gaz carbonique en aval du dispositif médical (103) puis passage du gaz privé de son gaz carbonique au travers d'un analyseur de gaz à ultrasons (143) en amont du dispositif médical. Pour évaluer la teneur en xénon, l'analyseur de gaz mesure le délai entre, d'une part l'émission d'une impulsion d'ultrasons à fréquence ultra-haute d'au moins 100 kHz axialement au travers de la chambre d'échantillon depuis un point à l'une de ses extrémités, et d'autre part la réflexion de cette impulsion axialement depuis l'autre extrémité de la chambre d'échantillon jusqu'au point considéré. L'invention concerne également un analyseur construit selon ce principe.

Title: Molecular determinants of myeloma bone disease and uses thereof
Inventor: SHAUGHNESSY JOHN D
IPC: C07K16/18
Filed: 2003-12-04
Granted: 2014-11-04
Abstract: To identify molecular determinants of lytic bone disease in multiple myeloma, the expression profiles of ~12,000 genes in CD 13 8-enriched plasma cells from newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients exhibiting no radiological evidence of lytic lesions (n = 2 8 ) were compared to those with >= 3 lytic lesions (n = 47). Two secreted WNT signaling antagonists, soluble frizzled related protein 3 (SFRP-3/FRZB) and the human homologue of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), were expressed in 40 of 47 with lytic bone lesions, but only 16 of 28 lacking bone lesions (P < .O5 ). DKK1 and FRZB were not expressed in plasma cells from 45 normal bone marrow donors or 10 Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, a related plasma cells malignancy that lacks bone disease. These data indicate that these factors are important mediators of multiple myeloma bone disease, and inhibitors of these proteins may be used to block bone disease.

Abstract: In a property correcting system of an automatic transmission according to the present invention, a difference of revolutions between input revolutions Nin of a torque converter and turbine revolutions Nt is compared with target rotational difference .DELTA.N, and is increased/reduced by the feedback operation (S6 and S7). It is checked to see if the difference of revolutions is converged to the target rotational difference .DELTA.N (S8). When a driving duty duty which is converged to the target rotational difference .DELTA.N is within a shipping determining standard, the value is stored (S10). A differential value between the stored driving duties duty of the respective automatic transmissions and the reference value is written to a TCU, as the amount of correction of the respective automatic transmissions, thereby correcting the variation in properties of the individual automatic transmissions, starting from the initial shipping timing. A preferable shift quality is obtained without prompting the learning based on the actual driving.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for migration of three components, 3-Dimensions seismic (3-C, 3-D) data acquired by down-hole receivers and surface seismic sources. This method utilizes full 3 components reflection wave field. It uses a dynamic, vector energy mapping method to image a reflection position and maps each time sample only to its reflected image point. Therefore, this method reduces unwanted data smearing and false mirror images. This method overcomes the weakness of using only a single component trace or pre-rotated three-component traces in the 1-C or 3-C 3-D VSP migration and produces better 3-D image.

Inventor: BOULOS MAHER I
IPC: B01J2/18
Filed: 2004-08-19
Granted: 2011-10-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the spheroidisation, densification and purification of powders through the combined action of plasma processing, and ultra-sound treatment of the plasma-processed powder. The ultra-sound treatment allows for the separation of the nanosized condensed powder, referred to as 'soot', from the plasma melted and partially vaporized powder.  The process can also be used for the synthesis of nanopowders through the partial vaporization of the feed material, followed by the rapid condensation of the formed vapour cloud giving rise to the formation of a fine aerosol of nanopowder. In the latter case, the ultrasound treatment step serves for the separation of the formed nanopowder form the partially vaporized feed material.
