Inventor: MATTHYS GEERT
IPC: H01R13/73
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: The present invention concerns a securing device (1) for
maintaining a first electrical connector (C1) in contact with a second electrical
connector (C2) through at least one window (11) of a panel (10), the second
connector being arranged behind that panel. 
     The securing device comprises at least two clips (2, 3) arranged
on a front end (8) to be directed towards the panel. The clips are squeezed
towards each other and inserted into the panel through the window and then
slackened so as to press against the panel, for maintaining the securing
device fastened thereto. They are squeezed again towards each other and
removed from the panel for releasing the securing device. 
     The latter also comprises at least one hollow (4), having an
outward opening (5) starting from the front end and extending towards a rear
end (9) of the securing device. That hollow receives the first connector
through the outward opening, for maintaining the first connector in the
securing device and for connecting it to the second connector at the front
end through that opening.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un dispositif de ventilation comportant un turbine tangentielle et un support pour la fixation du dispositif à un élément de construction. Le support n'entrave pas l'écoulement d'air généré par la turbine et il est donc possible d'intégrer le dispositif de ventilation de manière plus flexible dans divers éléments de construction sans tenir compte des directions des orifices d'entrée et de sortie par rapport au support portant la turbine. L'invention a également trait à un organe stabilisateur réalisé en matériau poreux qui assure l'atténuation du bruit qui est habituellement généré par des stabilisateurs de ventilateurs tangentiels.

Abstract: The invention discloses a kind of optical fiber micro-fluidic biochip that is used to detect the existence and/or density change of certain biological or chemical materials. This bio-chip employs optical fibers as sensors. One or multiple layers of materials are immobilized at one end surface of the fiber, where the immobilized materials are of different properties both from the fiber and from the materials to be detected. At least one of the immobilized layers is made of such a material that is complementary to the biological or chemical material to be detected. When molecules of the biological or chemical material bind onto the complementary material layer, spectral interference distribution patterns of light beams reflected from the fiber-tip layers are shifted. This kind of spectrum shift is then used to, quantitatively or qualitatively, analyze the density, binding speed, as well as geometry of the sample molecules. By adding many fibers into a linear array or a two-dimensional array and using an N:1 optical fiber coupler, a device can be built that is capable of detecting multiple properties of a single sample (analyte) or multiple properties of multiple samples (analytes).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une composition comprenant une enzyme, par exemple une enzyme oxydase, une source d'ions zinc et/ou ammonium et une source d'ions lactates. Les compositions sont d'ordinaires stérilisées par exposition à un rayonnement stérilisant, par exemple un rayonnement gamma. L'incorporation d'une source d'ions zinc et/ou d'ammonium et d'une source d'ions lactates, par exemple L-lactate de zinc, dans la composition contenant l'enzyme produit une amélioration de l'activité enzymatique post-stérilisation. La présence d'une source d'ions zinc et/ou ammonium et d'une source d'ions lactates dans la composition produit par conséquent un effet protecteur sur l'enzyme pendant son exposition au rayonnement stérilisant, ce qui permet d'obtenir une bonne récupération de l'activité enzymatique.

Abstract: Receivers (1,11) for receiving radio frequency signals are provided with modulating stages (4,14) between mixing stages (3,13) and filtering stages (5,15) for delta­sigma modulating intermediate frequency signals, to shape the quantisation noise out of the frequency band in which the wanted channel is located. Modulating stages (4,14) comprise delta-sigma modulators (41,42,43,90) with low-pass filters (91), quantisers (92) and digital­to-analog converters (93) having a low resolution and therefore a low power consumption. Due to delta-sigma modulating being done through a feedback loop, the receivers (1,11) have become less critical. The low-pass filters (91) comprise time-continuous filters, to avoid antialiasing filtering. The receivers further comprise digital further mixing stages (6, 16) coupled to the filtering stages (5, 15) for generating baseband signals and digital further filtering stages (7, 17) coupled to the further mixing stages (6, 16) for channel selective filtering the baseband signals.

IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: It has been discovered that a change in posture that results in an increase in orthostatic stress, when followed by a withdrawal of sympathetic nervous activity, may indicate a future onset of vasovagal syncope (VVS). The invention is directed to devices and techniques for early detection of an episode of VVS so that therapies may be applied in advance of the episode to prevent the episode from occurring. Detection of a posture transition triggers a device such as an implanted pacemaker to determine an indicator of an autonomic nervous system activity of the patient. As a function of this determination, the device estimates a probability that the patient will experience VVS. When the probability exceeds a threshold, preventative therapy may be applied to address the VVS and to reduce the risk that the patient will faint.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive sensor unit having one or several coils, which are mounted on a printed circuit board in a planar manner. According to the invention, a change in the inductance of a sensor coil due to leakage currents in the inductive actuator is correlated with the position of the actuator in two respects i.e., with the distance x to the sensor coils and with the overlapping y of the sensor coils. As a result, an inductive push button switch and an inductive position switching device (a sliding switch) are provided. The invention also relates to the evaluation of the inductance by means of reactance measurement. A relative evaluation of the influence of adjacent sensor coils increases the precision of response in push button switches and, generally, a relative evaluation of the influence of adjacent sensor coils is carried out in position switching devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a steering handle for a vehicle, in which no burden is imposed on a driver's arms and wrists during operation of the steering handle. In the steering handle (23) grasped and rotated by both hands of a driver, an axis (Ls) of a steering shaft included in the steering handle is inclined so as to be higher in level in a forward direction of a vehicle body, and a left grip (24L) grasped by a left hand and a right grip (24R) grasped by a right hand are rotatable in opposite directions about an axis (Lg) perpendicular to the axis (Ls) of the steering shaft. Thus, an upper half of the driver's body sitting on a seat and leaning backwards and a plane of rotation of the steering handle (23) are substantially parallel to each other, thereby ensuring that the driver can rotate the steering handle (23) without stretching and withdrawing his or her arms. Moreover, when the steering handle (23) is rotated, the driver's wrists can be prevented from being twisted unnaturally, leading to an easy steering operation.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for out-of-band predistortion linearization, comprising steps of: dividing base band inputted or intermediate frequency signal into an in-band signal branch and an out-of-band signal branch; processing the in-band signal to form RF (Radio Frequency) signal; processing the out-of-band signal to form out-of-band predistortion signal for pre-compensating the in-band signal; adding the in-band signal with the out-of-band predistortion signal, and taking the result as the input of RF power amplifier. The present invention compensates the nonlinear distortion of the RF power amplifier by a way of out-of-band compensating signal in a wireless communication environment, thereby avoiding the limitation of improving performance of conventional predistortion method, and solving the limitation of bandwidth and capability of the predistortion system caused by memory effect.
