Abstract: Antigens extracted from one or more serotypes of a  Bacteroides  microorganism are rapidly and sensitively detected when directly bound to a water-insoluble substrate. The bound antigens are detected by forming an immunological complex on the substrate when the antigen reacts with the appropriate antibody. The antibody-antigen complex can be detected directly or by means of a second antibody which is directed to the  Bacteroides  antibody. The entire assay can be carried out at room temperature in less than 15 minutes.

Abstract: The valve comprises a closed chamber 7 equipped with a lower inlet orifice 8 and an upper outlet orifice 9 both connected to the ventilation conduit, an internal circular immobile cup 10 held away from the inside walls of the chamber and from the inlet orifice, a vertically displaceable fitment surmounting the cup comprising a float 13 and a needle 16, equipped with a ring seal 17, joined to the float which when the fitment is in the raised position closes the outlet orifice 9, and means (11, 14, 15) for bringing about an upward displacement of the fitment following an inclining of the chamber 7. In addition, the annular space between the cup 10 and the inside walls of the chamber 7 is shaped to form a venturi 18 which is kept in communication, through at least one passage 20, with the volume 19 contained between the cup 10 and the base of the float 13. The valve, mounted upon a ventilation conduit, allows gases to move through in both directions but prevents any escape of liquid fuel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The matching process according to the invention employs phase correlation, that is to say correlation between the two-dimensional discrete transforms of a reference image and of a current image, normalised with respect to its modulus, then an inverse Fourier transformation of the correlation matrix obtained in order to find a correlation peak in the spatial domain of the images, in which, in order to diminish the effects of noise in this processing and enhance the mean components, a weighting function is applied to the correlation matrix in the transformed plane before carrying out the inverse Fourier transformation. The invention applies to the matching of images by translation, especially to those obtained by infrared sensors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un dispositif pour le traitement du fond de l'oeil comprend un laser qui émet une lumière (6) dans le domaine visible et dont le faisceau laser est dirigé par un système optique (3) sur la zone du fond de l'oeil à traiter. Un système (3, 4', 4'') pour l'observation visuelle du fond de l'oeil comporte un filtre (7) sensiblement opaque à la lumière de même longueur d'onde que le faisceau laser. Ledit filtre (7) est fixe sur le parcours des rayons laser dans le système d'observation et constitue un filtre d'interférence à bande étroite dont le coefficient de transmission par la ou les longueurs d'onde du laser est inférieur à 5 % et par ailleurs supérieur à 80 % dans le domaine visible. Il est prévu un système qui permet de diriger le faisceau laser à effet thérapeutique sur le fond de l'oeil et qui produit une image dans la gamme de longueurs d'onde où le facteur de transmission est supérieur à 80 %.

Abstract: Un frein à disque ayant un étrier (2) qui recouvre un disque (1) comprend d'un côté un dispositif d'application. Le dispositif d'application comprend un levier à came (4) rotatif autour d'un axe parallèle au plan du disque et qui coopère de préférence par l'intermédiaire d'une traverse (6) avec une ou deux broches de réglage (7, 8), sur lesquelles s'appuie une garniture de frein (10). Les deux broches de réglage (7 et 8) sont couplées au moyen d'une courroie dentée (12). Un entraînement rotatif (14) susceptible d'être entraîné par le levier à came (4) fait saillie dans un évidement d'une des broches de réglage (7), vissant la broche de réglage (7), ainsi que la broche de réglage (8), par l'intermédiaire de la courroie dentée (12), de façon à les rapprocher du disque (1) pendant la course d'application. L'entraînement rotatif (14) comprend un accouplement rotatif unidirectionnel ainsi qu'un accouplement de délimitation du couple, ce qui empêche les broches de réglage (7 et 8) de se visser pendant la course de freinage d'arrêt et pendant la course de relâchement.

Abstract: Une épissure mécanique de fibre optique comprend un couple d'éléments de serrage (110-140) et un élément de liaison élastique (150). Chacun des éléments de serrage possède une surface de serrage (124-142) pouvant se déformer par plasticité. L'une des surfaces de serrage est pourvue d'une rainure en forme de v (144) qui sert à loger et à aligner les extrémités des fibres optiques. Le moyen de liaison élastique agit entre les éléments de serrage pour en maintenir élastiquement les surfaces de serrage l'une contre l'autre. Quand on utilise l'épissure mécanique, les surfaces de serrage sont poussées l'une vers l'autre et les extrémités des fibres optiques alignées dans la rainure en v viennent en contact à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Les surfaces de serrage se déforment par plasticité autour des extrémités des fibres pour former une zone de contact plus grande entre les extrémités des fibres et les surfaces de serrage.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des amarres flottantes et à des systèmes d'amarrage pour des yachts et des bateaux à moteurs, où un cadre de support, monté sur une multiplicité de chambres de stabilité et de flottabilité hermétiquement fermées et inondables, peut fonctionner de manière à soulever le bateau sensiblement hors de l'eau, évitant ainsi la croissance d'organismes aquatiques sur la surface de la coque du bateau. Le dispositif est immergé jusqu'à une profondeur régulée afin de permettre au bateau d'accoster à l'intérieur du cadre de support, après quoi le bateau est arrimé par des attaches et les chambres de flottabilité inondables sont vidées pour permettre de soulever les amarres et le bateau. L'invention se rapporte aussi à une multiplicité de ces amarres dans un agencement du système qui permet le fonctionnement et l'entrée/la sortie de bateaux individuels dans le système. De tels systèmes d'amarrage offrent une densité d'amarrage plus élevée et en même temps une protection aux bateaux individuels contre les dégats causés par des collisions entre bateaux.

Abstract: A composition of matter which comprises Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been disclosed. This composition inhibited the growth of human breast cancer cells, human vulvar carcinoma cells and human histiocytic lymphoma cells a dose-dependent manner. The growth characteristics of human breast cancer cells were minimally affected when exposed to TNF or IL-4 alone. However, the combination of these two cytokines together inhibited the growth of these cells in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, interferon-gamma (IFN-g) caused a further potentiation of the antiproliferative effects of the TNF and IL-4 composition.

Abstract: Control circuit (S) for controlling the operation of the windscreen wiper motor (M) in order to clean the windscreen of a vehicle, the wiper motor (M) having a contact (K) which is actuated when the wiper (A) is in the position of rest. The control circuit (A) contains a time monitoring unit (Z) which, after the switching ON of the wiper motor (M) tests by means of the switch state of the contact (K) during the duration of the test phase (d) whether the wiper motor (M) is running or is being prevented from running. If the testing of the contact (K) shows that the wiper motor (M) is still being prevented from running at the end of the test phase (d), the control circuit (S) switches the wiper motor (M) OFF by interrupting the power supply (E) for a pause period (D) - which is very long in comparison with the test phase period (d), for example 8 times or 100 times longer - before the circuit (S) switches the wiper motor (M) on again. <IMAGE>
