Abstract: Système de communication optique (10) comprenant un transmetteur (12) et un récepteur (14). Une source (16) de paires en corrélation de photons d'énergies conjuguées fournit un premier et un second faisceau photonique (38, 36). Le premier faisceau photonique (38) passe à travers un filtre modulé (50) auquel est appliqué un signal de communication (52). Le faisceau à spectre variable (54) ainsi produit est converti en un signal de synchronisation (68) d'impulsions optiques macroscopiques (66). Le second faisceau photonique (36) et le signal de synchronisation (68) sont transmis au récepteur (14). Le signal de synchronisation reçu (84) est converti en une série d'impulsions électriques de synchronisation (90), tandis que le second faisceau photonique (82) passe par un filtre non modulé (94) qui est aligné sur le filtre modulé (50) lorsque le signal (52) n'est pas appliqué. Le filtre non modulé partage le faisceau (82) en deux faisceaux photoniques à spectres conjugués (96, 98), qui sont ensuite convertis respectivement en une première et une seconde série d'impulsions électriques (108, 110). Les impulsions (90, 108, 110) passent dans un compteur de coïncidences (92) qui enregistre les coïncidences entre d'une part les impulsions de synchronisation (90) et la première série d'impulsions (108) et, d'autre part, entre les impulsions de synchronisation (90) et la seconde série d'impulsions (110). Les taux de coïncidences ainsi obtenus sont soustraits l'un de l'autre pour obtenir un signal de communication de sortie (112).

IPC: F27B1/08
Filed: 1991-09-05
Granted: 1996-06-19
Abstract: The conventional operation of a cokeless cupola furnace has a requirement for a low volume of slag to be produced, because of the fact that there is no ash from coke to remove from the charge, and the fact that flux added to the charge to form slag eats away at the furnace lining, and at the bed of refractory spheres. Running the furnace at low slag volumes makes the slag thick and can cause blockage of the slagging and tapping box. The invention adds more flux materials than is conventional, preferably including silica in the form of broken bottles, so as to deliberately increase the volume of slag, improving the flow. Care must be taken not to add too much slag-forming materials.

Abstract: Restenosis following angioplasty can be inhibited by reducing the proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel walls at an angioplasty site, and such reduction in cell proliferation can be accomplished by an apparatus which irradiates the angioplasty site with radiation in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range. The ultraviolet radiation is preferably delivered via an optical fiber or other waveguide incorporated, for example, into a percutaneous catheter. In operation, the ultraviolet radiation kills smooth muscle cells at the site, thereby reducing the risk of restenosis, while minimising damage to surrounding tissue. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring a bodily constituent such as glucose or cholesterol by taking the sample taken from the body such as blood, saliva or urine. The sample is placed on a test strip inserted into the test block portion of the apparatus where the portion of the sample containing the constituent desired to be measured reacts with a chemical reagent. Products of this reaction have an absorbance/reflectance characteristic which is mathematically related to the concentration of the constituent in the bodily sample. The reflected light is absorbed by a photodiode and the output of the photodiode converted to a digital form where a microprocessor can calculate the concentration of the constituent using the mathematical relationship between the reflected light and concentration stored in memory means of the apparatus. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to determine the concentration of anticoagulants as a function of the inhibition of thrombin formation in an assay mixture. The assay mixture is composed of two reagents and the diluted plasma sample. The diluted plasma sample containing an anticoagulatory substance is mixed with a clotting factor reagent, which is a combination of an excess amount of purified coagulation factors of the endogenous system, phospholipids and a weak thrombin inhibitor, which can be potentiated by an anticoagulatory substance. Then a coagulation cascade activator and calcium chloride, an activator reagent, is added to the mixture and formed thrombin is measured after a chosen incubation time. A proportionality between the inhibition of the thrombin formation and the anticoagulatory active components allows for a determination of the concentration of anticoagulatory active components in the sample.
