Abstract: An RF switch useable up to millimeter wave frequencies and higher frequencies of 30 GHz and above. Four embodiments of the invention are configured as ground switches. Two of the ground switch embodiments are configured with a planar air bridge. Both of these embodiments are configured so that the bridge length is shortened between the transmission line and ground by introducing grounded stops. The other two ground switch embodiments include an elevated metal seesaw. In these embodiments, a shortened path to ground is provided with relatively low inductance by proper sizing and positioning of the seesaw structure. Lastly, broadband power switch embodiment is configured to utilize only a small portion of the air bridge to carry the signal. The relatively short path length results in a relatively low inductance and resistance lowers the RF power loss of the switch, thereby increasing the RF power handling capability of the switch.

Abstract: A machine for punching blanks ( 10 ) of corrugated cardboard out of a web or plates of corrugated cardboard and for forming folding lines ( 5 ) in said blanks. The machine has two cylinders ( 2, 3 ) rotating towards each other and of which at least one cylinder is provided on the outer surface with a curved wooden plate ( 6 ). The punching tools and the folding line tools ( 8, 9 ) are mounted on said wooden plate by being pressed into slits in said wooden plate ( 6 ). The cylinders ( 2, 3 ) are made of metal, preferably steel. The wooden plate ( 6 ) is secured to the cylinder ( 2, 3 ) by being screwed ( 15 ) thereon. The wooden plate is centered on the cylinder by means of two adjustable rings ( 4 ) on the cylinder. Each ring ( 4 ) is provided with an axially directed guide projection ( 4 a , 4 b) adapted to interact with an end notch ( 6 a , 6 b) in the wooden plate. In this way, it is rendered possible in a very simple way to centre the wooden plate and consequently the punching tool in relation to the vertical centre plane of the cylinder.

Abstract: DHCP (4,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one) has been previously shown to have antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. Global transcriptional pattern of E. coli was analyzed in response to DHCP by DNA microarray. It is now shown that DHCP has widespread effects in E. coli, affecting genes encoding proteins involved in general metabolism and cell membrane synthesis and functions. In addition, rpoS and RpoS-regulated genes responding to various stresses are upregulated. DHCP is also shown to inhibit AI-2, an autoinducer involved in interspecies quorum-sensing, and the genes comprising quorum-regulated processes such as virulence, motility and outer membrane functions are downregulated by DHCP treatment. In addition, cysK which is a known quorum-sensing gene working in an alternate pathway(s) in E. coli increases considerably in response to DHCP. These results suggest that DHCP regulates the switching on/off of the different quorum-sensing circuits in E. coli.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour assembler deux brides, notamment deux brides montées sur les segments (portées) d'un pylône d'une éolienne pour relier ces segments, les brides communiquant par liaison de force. Cette invention se base sur le fait qu'il est possible de faire une économie de temps notable lorsque la couche à appliquer sur un des éléments du raccord à brides ne doit pas être appliquée sur le chantier, mais qu'elle est déjà appliquée au préalable, cette couche étant, par exemple, en matière thermoplastique (plastique). On peut ainsi réaliser une couche de qualité homogène dans des conditions contrôlées et on peut éliminer de manière fiable le risque, par exemple, d'inclusion de matériau étranger dans ladite couche lors d'un traitement en plein air. En outre, cette couche peut être placée sur la surface de contact soit avant le transport des segments individuels d'un pylône, soit sur le chantier, après avoir été retirée d'un emballage de transport, par économie de temps. La présente invention porte également sur un procédé pour assembler deux brides, selon lequel une couche est formée dans la zone de raccordement, cette couche étant moins malléable dans un premier espace temporel antérieur à l'assemblage et dans un troisième espace temporel postérieur à l'assemblage que dans un deuxième espace temporel, qui se trouve entre le premier et le troisième espace temporel et pendant lequel la viscosité de la couche augmente.
