Patent EP-0488683-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AZIBERT HENRI V
IPC: F16J15/18
Filed: 1991-11-27
Abstract: A mechanical seal assembly is disclosed in which the seal faces of the primary seal members remain essentially perpendicular to the shaft of the equipment being sealed regardless of any misalignment between the shaft and the equipment. The seal assembly has a sleeve (20) for mounting on the shaft (12), the sleeve providing a support structure wherein all primary seal member faces (46, 46′) are aligned with respect to this support structure regardless of loading. The primary seals are uniformly and persistently urged toward the support structure, without sliding parts, by the combination of net hydraulic pressure at the mated seal faces plus steady bias from a minimally flexing biasing source, such as compression springs, at one end of the sleeve. In a double balanced double seal embodiment, a piston area (A, B) is defined on the rear of each primary seal member. Each primary seal piston area and the seal face contact area of the associated mated primary seals is determined without regard to location or thickness of secondary seals. Each piston area is a predetermined fixed area equal to a major portion of the associated primary seal face contact area.

IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 1991-02-08
Abstract: A process and a device for determining the moisture content of the material of a test object using microwaves. The properties of a resonator such as resonance frequency, resonance half-width value and amplitude of the resonance can be measured using a digitally tunable quartz-stable PLL-controlled microwave generator. By special processing of the variations in the results due to detuning of the resonator when it is being filled with a product, the moisture content of the material in the product can be measured exactly, independently of the density of the material and largely independently of the type of material and of changes in additives. The same measurement equipment can be used, without any rearrangement of the hardware, both in the ppm range and up to moisture contents greater than 80%. In addition, there are no special requirements concerning the shape of the sample.

Selon la présente invention, l'unité d'émission (3) est dotée d'un accumulateur d'énergie (4) qui sert de source de tension de fonctionnement, ledit dispositif comprenant un circuit de charge (5) doté d'un émetteur d'énergie (6) afin de transmettre sans fils de l'énergie électrique à un récepteur d'énergie (7) placé devant l'accumulateur d'énergie (4). Immédiatement après la phase de charge de l'accumulateur d'énergie (4), l'unité d'émission (3) commence l'envoi de signaux, en même temps que l'accumulateur d'énergie (4) se décharge. Les signaux d'émission reçus par l'unité de réception (1) sont envoyés à un circuit d'évaluation qui produit un signal de sortie destiné à localiser la balle de golf. Ledit signal de sortie est alors transmis à une unité indicatrice (9). Après une durée déterminée de décharge, l'unité d'émission (3) cesse d'émettre des signaux et ce n'est que pendant cette durée d'émission limitée qu'a lieu la localisation de la balle. Le dispositif présenté dans cette invention permet de retrouver rapidement et simplement les balles de golf mal frappées.

Abstract: Un système d'analyse colorimétrique permettant de diagnostiquer la parodontolyse utilise une substance de test chromogène destinée à mesurer l'activité protéolytique dans un échantillon soupçonné de contenir des bactéries parodontopathogènes. Le procédé d'analyse colorimétrique de l'invention a pour but de détecter la présence d'une activité protéolytique dans un échantillon de plaque subgingivale, par exemple. Une substance de test chromogène comprend un substrat peptidique hydrolysé par des enzymes protéolytiques dans l'échantillon de plaque afin de libérer le chromophore. La détection d'un changement de couleur dans la substance de test indique la présence d'une telle activité protéolytique. Dans un mode de réalisation spécifique illustrant l'invention, la substance de test chromogène comprend N-benzoyle-DL-arginine-2-naphtylamide (BANA) ou benzoyle-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA). Dans le cas de BANA, par exemple, le chromophore, beta-naphtylamide, est détecté par l'addition d'un révélateur de couleur, tel que le grenat rapide. Le dévelopement d'une couleur rouge-orangée est interprété comme indiquant la présence de parodontolyse associée à des germes parodontopathogènes anaérobies, tels que B. gingivalis, T. denticola, et B. forsythus, et le développement d'une couleur jaune est interprété comme indiquant l'absence de parodontolyse.

Abstract: Procédé servant à renforcer l'association de polypeptides préparés de manière exogène avec des molécules MHC de la classe I sur la surface de cellules présentant des antigènes pour sensibiliser ainsi les cellules cible à la réaction avec des cellules T cytotoxiques limitées aux MHC de la classe I. Le procédé englobe l'obtention de polypeptides d'intérêt et l'exposition des polypeptides aux cellules présentant des antigènes appropriés en présence d'un niveau élevé de beta2-microglobuline libre. Le procédé de la présente invention peut aussi être utilisé pour amorcer des populations naïves de lymphocites T en vue d'une réaction des cellules cytotoxiques limitées aux MHC de la classe I avec des polypeptides exogènes; ce procédé est utile tant pour les applications in vitro que pour les applications in vivo. On décrit aussi une nouvelle utilisation de la beta2-microglobuline purifiée comme adjuvant pour des vaccins à polypeptides synthétiques. L'immunisation in vivo avec les peptides synthétiques et avec la beta2-microglobuline libre peut provoquer une réaction CTL spécifique aux antigènes aussi forte que celle causée avec des antigènes synthétisés de manière endogène.

Abstract: Dans des systèmes de télévision en couleurs du type letterbox, les informations supplémentaires doivent être transmises de façon aussi compatible que possible, ce qui peut toutefois provoquer des effets supplémentaires de diaphonie ainsi que des défauts de synchronisation, des postes récepteurs connus de télévision. Dans le système de transmission de télévision décrit, les informations supplémentaires sont transmises uniquement dans les bandes letterbox sous forme d'une modulation déphasée en quadrature de la porteuse couleur, ce qui permet d'éviter des effets de diaphonie et des défauts de synchronisation dans des postes récepteurs connus de télévision. En outre, lorsque les deux relations de phases de la porteuse couleur déphasée en quadrature sont constantes, en d'autres termes lorsqu'une des deux relations de phase n'est pas branchée toutes les deux lignes, on peut doubler avantageusement la résolution de la fréquence de balayage vertical des informations supplémentaires. On peut réduire davantage les effets de diaphonie en décalant les phases des informations supplémentaires (Z1, Z2) de 45 ou de 225° supplémentaires. L'invention trouve des applications dans des postes récepteurs de télévision du type letterbox 16:9.

Abstract: A computerized reservation system including controlling and monitoring of group travel related services is presented. In addition to master inventory of travel related services and a set of passenger name records which correlate individuals with reserved travel related services from the master inventory, the present invention uses a group control record which includes a group inventory which is a subset of the master inventory, and a number of group related passenger name records, which are a subset of the general passenger name records. When changes are made to any one of the master inventory, group control records or group passenger name records, appropriate changes are automatically made in the others of these three. Thus, the monitoring and controlling of group travel related services is greatly facilitated.
