Abstract: To provide a traverse-motion mechanism capable of easing the threading operation by reducing the heights of the yarn-separating fulcrum and the godet roller disposed upstream of a yarn-traversing fulcrum, of reducing times required for the manufacturing and assembling operation by simplifying the structure due to the reduction of the overall machine height, of minimizing the rise of selvage and ribbon wind generated in a package, and of readily adjusting the position of yarn turning point. A traversing unit 6-1 disposed at one end of the traverse-motion mechanism is offset from a regular position toward another traversing unit 6-4 so that a straight line connecting the opposite traverse ends (A) and (B) in the traversing unit 6-1 with each other is not parallel to an axis of a touch roller 7. In the traversing unit 6-1, three blades 15-1 through 15-3 are fixed on a first rotor 13 and two blades 20-1 and 20-2 are fixed on a second rotor 18 at equiangular positions in a rotary plane thereof, while the rotary centers of the first and second rotors 13, 18 are defined so that a rotary angle of the respective rotor, through which the yarn is conveyed by one blade on the one rotor while being in contact with the yarn-guiding surface 23 until released therefrom, is about 60° in the first rotor 13 and 90° in the second rotor 18 and a rotational ratio of the first rotor 13 relative to the second rotor 18 is 2:3.

Abstract: A fluid mixture is separated by distillation in which the feed (101) is prefractionated in a first column (103) having at least one separation stage (105) above or below the feed (101). When the separation stage (105) is above the feed (101), the prefractionator bottoms (125) provides feed to a second distillation column (109) operating at a lower pressure. 
     When the separation stage is below the feed (101), a portion of condensed prefractionator overhead is pressurized and provides feed to a second distillation column. In both cases, no temperature in the first column (103) is greater than the highest temperature or less than the lowest temperature in the second column (109). 
     The two-column system is readily combined with a high pressure column in a three-column distillation system for separating air, which is particularly useful for integration with a gasification combined cycle combustion turbine system.

Abstract: Multifocal concentric annular ring lens designs are disclosed with minimal angles between adjacent annular ring segments. The present invention relates in particular to spheric lens designs having different radii of curvature, which enable a numerically controlled (NC) machine to be programmed to machine the adjacent annular segments and the transitions therebetween. A multifocus, concentric annular ring lens has either a front or back surface which defines a plurality of spherical annular rings having different spherical optical powers with different spherical radii. Pursuant to the teachings of the present invention, the radius of curvature of a first spherical annular ring is displaced along the longitudinal optical axis of the lens relative to the radius of curvature of an adjacent second spherical annular ring. The radii of curvature of the first and second spherical annular rings intersect at a junction whereat the angular difference between tangents thereto at the junction defines a minimal angle to provide a lens having improved wearing comfort and physiological acceptability.

Abstract: An integrated inductor arrangement comprises a first layer of a first doping type disposed on a second layer of a second doping type, a dielectric layer disposed on said first layer and a metallisation inductor structure disposed on said dielectric layer. A biasing means is provided to allow the reverse-biasing of said first layer with respect to said second layer, this reverse-biasing serving to increase the thickness of a depletion layer formed between the first and second layers. This increase in thickness reduces the overall parasitic capacitance seen by the inductor relative to the second layer and also reduces the magnitude of the currents induced in the first and second layers by the inductor structure. A further depletion layer may be provided in the first layer adjacent the dielectric layer, corresponding further biasing means being provided for the reverse-biasing of this layer with respect to the first layer. Normally, the first layer will be an epitaxial layer and the second layer will be a substrate.

Abstract: An oxy-fuel burner includes an outer oxidant tube (12), an intermediate fuel tube (14) and an inner oxidant tube (16) which are coaxially arranged with the fuel tube disposed between the inner and outer oxidant tubes. Characteristics of the flame produced by the burner may be controlled by varying the relative flow rates of the inner and outer oxidant flows. An increase in the percentage of the total oxidant which is provided to the inner oxidant tube causes the length and luminosity of the flame to decrease and the flame momentum to increase. The characteristics of a burner flame can be tailored to a particular application without requiring mechanical modification of the burner.

Abstract: Cette invention porte sur un procédé visant à permettre un repérage radio-isotope de sites tumoraux, c'est à dire un procédé améliorant le repérage d'un ligand radiomarqué sur une tumeur chez un individu ayant besoin de ce traitement. Le procédé consiste à effectuer une transduction de ladite tumeur à l'aide d'un gène codant une protéine membranaire exprimée, propre à cette tumeur, et à administrer audit individu un ligand radiomarqué se liant de manière spécifique à ladite protéine. Le recours à la technique de thérapie génique pour induire l'expression de molécules/récepteurs membranaires à spécificité élevée peut améliorer la spécificité du repérage radio-isotope tandis que l'emploi d'isotopes radioactifs capables de causer un dommage par rayonnement dans plusieurs diamètres de cellules compense une efficacité de la transduction que l'on ne saurait qualifier de parfaite.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour la vérification de la connexion entre des éléments d'un circuit (10) constitué d'une pluralité de parties de circuit redondantes (12). Un signal codé est produit au niveau d'un premier élément de circuit (14) et transmis sur un trajet de signal supposé relier le premier élément de circuit à un second élément de circuit (16). Si le signal codé est détecté au niveau du second élément de circuit, cela prouve que la connexion est correcte entre le premier élément de circuit et le second élément de circuit. Etant donné qu'un signal codé est produit, il est possible de vérifier que la connexion est correcte même lorsque le trajet de signal reliant les premier et second éléments de circuit est constitué d'un coupleur optique ou d'un autre type, non électrique.

Abstract: A minute structure such as a cantilever 11 is formed on a silicon substrate 10 and heated by irradiating a laser beam to a part of the cantilever 11, by which the cantilever 11 is bent. The two bent cantilevers 11 are inserted into through holes 14 in a crystal substrate 10 formed in advance, and the tip end portions 15 thereof are heated. The heated tip end portions 15 become thicker and at the same time shorter, so that the crystal substrate 12 can be fixed to the silicon substrate 10 without play. By heating a part of the minute structure by such a method, plastic deformation is produced, so that bending and deforming can be performed. Thereby, a three-dimensional micromachined structure is constructed and assembled.
