Patent EP-0938681-B1 (EP)
Inventor: FECHTNER HAROLD F
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 1997-11-13
Granted: 2004-01-28
Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for piercing the cap of a container. The apparatus includes a blade support arm slidably attached to one or more vertical posts, a blade attached vertically below the blade support arm, and a cap retainer arm slidably attached to the vertical post such that the cap retainer arm is capable of travel along the posts between an upper position wherein the cap contacting surface is located above the elevation of the container cap and a lower position wherein the cap contacting surface is located at the elevation of the container cap. The cap retainer arm has an opening through which the blade can pass. A biasing member biases the cap retainer arm towards its lower position. The cap retainer arm is positioned below the blade but above the blade support arm contact surface. Thus, when the blade support arm slides upwardly, the blade support arm contacts the cap retainer arm and pushes the cap retainer arm upwardly from its lower position to its upper position.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des inhibiteurs non peptidiques, de faible poids moléculaire, pouvant inhiber des métalloprotéases matricielles (MMP) et l'enzyme de conversion du TNF-alpha (TACE). Les métalloprotéases matricielles (MMP) sont un groupe d'enzymes participant à la destruction pathologique de tissus conjonctifs ou de membranes basales. Ces endopeptidases à base de zinc sont constituées de plusieurs sous-ensembles d'enzymes comprenant des collagénases, des stromélysines et des gélatinases. L'enzyme de conversion du TNF-alpha (TACE), une cytokine pro-inflammatoire, catalyse la formation du TNF-alpha à partir d'une protéine-précurseur du TNF-alpha liée à la membrane. On estime que de petits inhibiteurs moléculaires de MMP et de TACE peuvent donc être utilisés pour traiter diverses pathologies (arthrite, métastase tumorale, ulcération tissulaire, cicatrisation de blessures anormales, parodontopathie, maladies osseuses, diabète (résistance insulinique) ou infection à VIH). L'invention concerne en outre des composés de la formule (I) dans laquelle R2 et R3 forment un noyau hétérocyclique, A est S, S(O) ou S(O)¿2?, et R?1 et R4¿ sont tels que définis dans le mémorandum descriptif.

Abstract: A testing procedure is disclosed for testing a road tanker, and other transportable storage tanks, for fluid-tightness. A positive test pressure is first applied to one storage compartment of the road tanker, and simultaneously a negative pressure is applied to the outlet pipe of the storage compartment, and a different negative pressure is applied to the vapour recovery manifold. The subsequent pressure variations within the storage compartment, the outlet pipe, the vapour recovery manifold and the adjacent storage compartments are then monitored in order to determine whether the interconnecting valves are leaking, and whether the various compartments under test are fluid-tight. In a second stage of the testing procedure, the pressure within the storage compartment is raised in order to test the pressure release level of a pressure release valve in the storage compartment, and the pressure within the storage compartment is then reduced in order to test the vacuum pressure release level of the pressure release valve. Similar testing procedures are applied to each of the storage compartments in turn. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de former une couche tampon constituée de nitrures des groupes III-V sur un substrat constitué d'un matériau différent par épitaxie par faisceaux moléculaires. Ce procédé permet de compenser le décalage de trame entre le matériau du substrat et le matériau d'une couche que l'on veut former sur le substrat. Il comprend les étapes suivantes: on place le substrat dans une chambre à vide, avec une pression réduite convenant pour la croissance épitaxiale et une température élevée; puis on introduit dans la chambre à vide des espèces chimiques qui vont servir à la croissance épitaxiale, notamment un précurseur azoté fournissant de l'azote au substrat, de façon à provoquer la croissance épitaxiale sur le substrat de la couche tampon. La température est comprise entre 300 et 800 °C, et le débit d'alimentation du substrat en azote permet de provoquer la croissance épitaxiale sur le substrat de la couche tampon constituée de nitrures des groupes III-V, avec une épaisseur uniforme inférieure à 2000 Å et une vitesse de croissance comprise entre 2 et 10 νm/h.

Abstract: A mixed refrigerant comprising one member selected from R-23, R-116 and a mixture thereof and one member selected from propane, butane and a mixture thereof. The mixed refrigerant allows cooling the inside of a freezer to a super low temperature, particularly to a temperature of -60 DEG C or lower, with a compressor of a conventional freezer. The mixed refrigerant not only has a low boiling point similar to those of R-23 and R-116, but also can be liquefied in a room temperature surrounding due to propane or butane contained therein, and further has good miscibility with a lubricating oil or the like so that a freezer unit using the refrigerant is free from the problem of clogging therein. Additionally, the mixed refrigerant has no ability to deplete ozone and is significantly low with respect to greenhouse effect. The refrigerant can be liquefied by a pressure within the range of practical ability of a compressor in a room temperature surrounding and allows achieving with ease a temperature inside a freezer of -60 DEG C or lower by means of a freezer unit using one gas and one compressor.
