Title: Coil on plug inductive sampling method and apparatus
Inventor: MCQUEENEY KENNETH A
IPC: H01T13/58
Filed: 2002-07-31
Abstract: A coil-on plug testing apparatus generates an output signal representing an ignition signal. The testing apparatus includes an inductive sensor for detecting an electromagnetic flux generated by a coil-on plug device during a firing event and generating and outputting a voltage in response thereto, and a signal processing circuit electrically connected to the inductive sensor for generating an output signal in response to variations in the voltage output by the inductive sensor. A method for determining burn time for a coil-on plug ignition includes disposing an inductive sensor adjacent to a coil-on plug ignition housing, using the inductive sensor to detect an electromagnetic flux output by the coil-on plug ignition during a period encompassing at least one firing section, and determining a burn time by identifying a firing line, identifying an endpoint of a spark line and determining a time period therebetween.

Title: Decontamination de surfaces contaminees par un materiau infecte par les prions, au moyen de preparations a base d'agents oxydants
Inventor: ANTLOGA KATHLEEN M
IPC: A01N25/02
Filed: 2002-10-04
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une surface comportant un matériau infecté par les prions peut être nettoyée au moyen d'une solution de nettoyage alcaline, de sorte à éliminer autant de matériau protéinique que possible de cette surface. Cet agent de nettoyage est un agent de nettoyage alcalin qui attaque les prions se trouvant sur la surface, ainsi que les prions retirés de cette surface pendant l'étape de nettoyage. Après drainage de ladite solution de nettoyage, une solution de tensioactifs, de tampons et d'inhibiteurs de corrosion exempts de métaux lourds est acheminée sur la surface, à une température comprise entre 50 et 60 ·C. Les tensioactifs dispersent et séparent le matériau contaminé par les prions. Un oxydant fort, de préférence de l'acide péracétique, est ajouté à la solution pour amener la concentration d'acide péracétique entre 1000 et 2500 ppm. L'acide péracétique ou un autre oxydant fort attaque les prions, en particulier les souches de prions séparées, ce qui désactive les prions. Après rinçage et séchage, la surface peut être enveloppée dans une barrière imperméable aux microbes et soumise à une stérilisation finale, telle qu'une stérilisation en autoclave à la vapeur.
