Inventor: WONG ALBERT C
IPC: F04C2/344
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: The pump (10) has a multi-vane rotor (26) operating within a cam ring
(20) to pump oil to a component such as a power steering gear. The pump rotor
(26) sandwiched between stationary thrust and pressure plates (18, 22) is
supplied with oil from a surrounding fluid chamber through aligned intake ports
(50, 60) in the two plates. Fluid chambers formed between the reciprocating
vanes (40) of the rotor discharges oil into axially aligned discharge ports (52,
62) of the thrust and pressure plates (18, 22). The discharge port (52) of the
thrust plate (18) is hydraulically connected to the discharge port (62) of the
pressure plate (22). Pressure oil in the discharge port (62) of the pressure plate
(22) feeds into a system pressure chamber outboard of the pressure plate (22).
Oil in the system pressure chamber is fed back to a first side chamber (72) of the
rotor (26) through at least one simple flow passage in the pressure plate (22).
The first side chamber (72) is formed between inner and outer lands on the rotor
(26). A second side chamber (78) is similarly formed on the opposite side of the
rotor (26) and is hydraulically interconnected to the first side chamber (72) by
the undervane passages (36). With the pump rotating, the undervane chambers
(66) are pressurized by the supply of the pressure oil to the side chambers (72,
78) through the straight through passage in the pressure plate (22) to assure
engagement of the vanes (40) with the operative surface of the cam ring (20).

Abstract: L'invention concerne des épitopes du virus du papillome humain, ainsi que des peptides longs d'environ 22-45 résidus d'acides aminés comportant des épitopes de cellules T minimes. Par ailleurs, l'invention concerne des approches cliniques d'immunisation de sujets contre les cellules tumorales ou les cellules infectées par voie virale et/ou (myco)bactérienne, et particulièrement contre le papillomavirus (HPV). L'invention démontre que les séquences peptidiques longues de 22-35 résidus d'acides aminés peuvent induire à la fois des CD8 spécifiques des peptides + cellules cytolytiques et des CD4+ des lymphocytes T auxiliaires. De plus, l'invention démontre que la vaccination à base de peptides longs de 22-35 résidus d'acides aminés permet d'obtenir une réponse plus puissante des CD8 + cellules T cytolytiques qu'avec la vaccination à base de peptides ayant la longueur d'épitope CTL minime exacte. L'invention démontre également que la capacité intrinsèque de certains épitopes CTL minimes, qui au lieu d'activer les cellules effectrices cytolytiques rendent ces cellules cytolytiques tolérantes, peut être maîtrisée par l'utilisation de ces peptides longs de 22-35 acides aminés. L'invention concerne en outre des approches cliniques de vaccination et/ou de traitement de sujets contre le HPV. Enfin, l'invention concerne des méthodes d'utilisation appropriées pour traiter des sujets souffrant de lésions évolutives et/ou du cancer du col utérin.

Abstract: A noise attenuation arrangement, particularly suitable for attenuating noise radiated by
a conduit (10) carrying pressurised air from a turbo-compressor in an internal combustion
engine, is in the form of cavities (14) (Figure 2) arranged around the outside of the
surface of the conduit (10), and connected to the interior of the conduit by slots (16). In
this case, sound attenuation is produced in part by the Helmholtz resonator effect and in
part by reflection of the acoustic waves caused by the change in section between the
conduit (10) and the attenuator (12). The Helmholtz resonator effect of the different
cavities produces attenuation at different frequencies according to the volume of each
cavity and the sizes of the slots (16). The attenuator arrangement is advantageously
produced by a plastics injection process in two parts, one comprising a portion of the
conduit (10) and a body portion forming the cavities (14) with longitudinally positioned
adjacent ends, which are closed off by the second part which is in the form of a cover
plate. Other noise attenuation arrangements using the quarter-wave resonator effect are
also disclosed, comprising activities arranged round the outside of the conduit.

IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: The present invention provides for exposure apparatus including a projection
optical system that has an image field capable of exposing a shot area in a scanning
exposure apparatus in one shot. This allows a 1 in 1 exposure, with the shot area being the
maximum exposable range of the scanning exposure apparatus. In addition, the main
control unit changes the control factor of the exposure system contributing to the
throughput, in accordance with the minimum line width of the pattern. The control factor
is changed so that the state (or the value) moves into a state where more priority is put on
throughput, only when reduction in exposure accuracy is allowed. This makes it possible
to improve the throughput while maintaining the exposure accuracy, compared with the
case when the exposure system is controlled based on the same value at all times.

Abstract: Dynamic and static portions within an electronic document are
identified with special tags. Static portions are less frequently updated
from the original server than dynamic portions. Static and dynamic
portions are cached to a storage area. In one embodiment, both static and
dynamic areas are cached to nonvolatile storage. In another embodiment,
the static portion is cached to a nonvolatile storage location while the
dynamic portion is cached to random access memory. Portions of the
document are thus updateable without needing to retrieve the entire
electronic document. When the user requests an electronic document, the
cache is checked for both static and dynamic portions. Non-stale portions
are retrieved from the cache while stale portions are retrieved from the
original server.

Abstract: An integrated phase separator for use in an ultra high vacuum system, for example, a molecular beam epitaxy system, is described. The vacuum chamber has a cryogenic panel disposed therein. The cryogenic panel includes a cryogenic shroud region and a phase separator region. Liquid nitrogen is introduced into the cryogenic panel via an inlet line. As the liquid nitrogen warms and vaporizes, nitrogen vapor rises within the shroud. The phase separator region within the cryogenic panel provides a near atmospheric pressure vapor barrier over the liquid nitrogen so that the nitrogen vapor may escape smoothly through the outlet of the panel, without forming gas bursts. Also, the phase separator region is vacuum jacketed to prevent cryogenic shroud surface temperature changes due to variations in liquid nitrogen levels, thereby increasing the cryogenic shroud's pumping stability.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for regenerating an aqueous acid halide leachant from a spent aqueous metal halide leach liquor. The process comprises introducing into a fluidized bed or spray roaster a hydrocarbon fuel, an oxygen-enriched oxidizing gas and the aqueous metal halide leach liquor; pyrohydrolyzing the aqueous metal halide leach liquor by combustion of the hydrocarbon fuel with the oxygen-enriched oxidizing gas to produce an acid halide-containing gas fraction and a metal oxide-containing solid fraction; separating the gas fraction from the solid fraction, recovering heat energy from the acid halide-containing gas fraction and absorbing the gas fraction in water to produce the aqueous acid halide leachant. The oxygen-enriched oxidizing gas has an oxygen concentration of greater than about 21 percent by volume, preferably greater than about 50 percent by volume, more preferably greater than about 80 percent by volume, and even more preferably greater than about 90 percent by volume. Preferably, the aqueous metal halide is iron (II) chloride or nickel chloride. Despite higher costs associated with the oxygen-enriched oxidizing gas as compared to air, the process is capable of being operated more economically and efficiently than an equivalent air roasting pyrohydrolysis, and produces a higher concentration aqueous halide leach liquor, which is preferred in metallurgical processes such as solvent extraction and solids leaching.
