Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de compression de données présentant un algorithme de codage amélioré qui utilise une technique d'empilage de jetons. L'étape essentielle du procédé de codage de la présente invention consiste à produire un groupe de jetons empilés. Chaque jeton empilé présente des champs multiples comprenant un champ de compteur de longueur de sous-chaîne et un champ de pointeur de déplacement de retour, le premier champ étant identique dans tous les jetons empilés afin de servir de base pour la construction du groupe de jetons empilés, et une plage respective d'entiers étant attribuée au second champ. Les plages attribuées aux jetons empilés sont empilées séquentiellement sans se chevaucher. Le procédé de codage comprend en outre des étapes consistant à déterminer un pointeur de déplacement de retour pour une sous-chaîne compressible, et à coder ce pointeur dans un jeton empilé respectif en fonction de la plage attribuée, de sorte que le pointeur est compris dans la plage attribuée au jeton empilé respectif. Le procédé de codage de la présente invention est particulièrement efficace lorsqu'il s'agit de réduire le nombre d'octets nécessaires au codage de sous-chaînes compressibles qui sont situées à une certaine distance des sous-chaînes identiques respectives précédemment traitées, dans la mesure où le pointeur de déplacement de retour peut être codé dans un jeton empilé auquel a été attribuée une plage empilée et décalée de pointeurs de déplacement de retour.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système d'expression et de compactage in vivo d'ARN de recombinaison dans des particules de pseudovirus. L'invention se fonde sur la découverte que des protéines d'enveloppe virale (CPs) de plante peuvent être efficacement exprimées dans E. coli et que ces protéines d'enveloppe de recombinaison fonctionnent alors pour assembler in vivo et compacter de l'ARN chimère de recombinaison qui contient une séquence d'origine-de-l'assemblage (OAS) liée de manière à fonctionner, pour former des particules virales matures contenant un ARN étranger. Cette invention concerne donc le compactage d'ARN dans une forme résistant à la ribonucléase qui est facilement purifiée et stockée et qui surmonte les problèmes de l'art antérieur associés à la décomposition de l'ARN par les ribonucléases. Le procédé inventif se caractérise par le fait qu'il est indépendant de la séquence et de la longueur de l'ARN. Les constituants de l'invention comprennent une source dans l'hôte bactérien de protéines d'enveloppe virale, et une source dans l'hôte bactérien qui dirige la transcription d'une molécule d'ADN comprenant de l'ADN de codage d'OAS et un ADN étranger, ladite molécule d'ADN pouvant être transcrite dans la cellule hôte pour produire une molécule d'ARN comprenant une OAS liée de manière à fonctionner à un ARN recherché. Les CPs et l'OAS proviennent d'un virus de plante comprenant une particule hélicoïdale bacilliforme et un génome d'ARN à un seul brin, plus préférablement du virus en mosaïque du tabac.

Abstract: A security system for a lock (22) is mounted within the door (2) of a hotel safe. Bolts (4) of the electrically operated lock (22) for the door can only be retracted when a solenoid (72) controlling a locking pin (74) is energised by a microprocessor (40). The hotel guest inputs a personal code into memory (42) before locking the safe. To reopen the safe, the guest has to key in the same code using a keypad (6) on the front of the door (2). If the input code corresponds to the one stored, the solenoid (72) can be energised to allow opening of the lock. If the guest forgets the code, the safe can be opened by connecting a separate override unit thereto so that an override unit processor communicates with said microprocessor (40). The override unit is connected by way of a socket (18) and if the override processor means successfully communicates with the security system processor means (40) it is enabled to read, and subsequently to generate, a preset override code stored in the memory (42) whereby opening of the lock is enabled.

Abstract: In method and apparatus for producing iron and steel from iron ores largely composed of iron oxides, wherein a direct reduction process is used to produce a solid particulate intermediate product, generally known as sponge iron or Direct Reduced Iron (DRI); pneumatically conveying large iron-bearing particles, such as pelletized iron ore or particularly DRI, in a closed transport pipe, eg. from the reduction reactor of the direct reduction process to the metallurgical furnaces where liquid iron or steel are produced, for example electric arc furnaces, induction furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, etc. or to a briquetting press to form DRI briquettes, or simply to a silo or storage bin, or in general to a subsequent processing step for said DRI. When the carrier gas is recirculated for reuse, surprisingly air can be a preferred source of such gas, especially for reactive hot DRI. This method has a superior efficiency and productivity and reduces the overall energy consumption relative to currently used DRI steelmaking plants. 
     By using pneumatic conveyors, elements of the plant may be arranged side by side rather than one on top of the other, whereby the overall height of the plant may be reduced.

IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 1994-07-19
Abstract: Optical time domain reflectometry methods and apparatus are proposed in which the back-scattered optical radiation used to produce output signals is restricted to that resulting from Rayleigh scattering of light launched into a fibre 2 at a first wavelength and that in an anti-Stokes spectral band resulting from Raman or Brillouin scattering of optical radiation at the first wavelength. A first set of output signals produced in dependence upon the anti-Stokes back-scatter may be normalised to the geometric mean of a second set of output signals, produced in dependence upon the Rayleigh back-scatter at the first wavelength, and a third set of output signals, produced in dependence upon Rayleigh back-scatter resulting from light launched into the fibre at the anti-Stokes wavelength. Growth in the intensity of optical radiation in a first Stokes (Raman or Brillouin) spectral band may be inhibited, so as to suppress stimulated scattering, for example by making the fibre 2 high loss at the Stokes wavelength and/or launching into the fibre 2, simultaneously with the pulse at the first wavelength, an additional pulse at a third wavelength equal to that of a Stokes spectral line resulting from inelastic scattering of optical radiation at the first Stokes wavelength. The first wavelength may be chosen so as to minimise the transmission loss, in view of the average losses at the first and detected wavelengths or the increase with wavelength of the launch power which can be used before stimulated scattering has a specified effect.
