Patent EP-1139366-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIKUCHI TOSHIO
IPC: H01H25/06
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-contact inputting device
which has a center switch (S1) and plural side switches (S2)
that are placed around the center switch (S1). The multi-contact
inputting device is used for inputting and outputting
different signals by operating an operation member 7. The
invention has been conducted under the concept that, unlike
a conventional art, movable electrodes (41, 42) are placed so
as to overlap with each other in the thickness direction of
the body (1). It is an object of the invention to arrange the
movable electrodes (41, 42) in the manner described above,
thereby realizing miniaturization and compaction of the multi-contact
inputting device. Each of the center switch (S1) and
the side switches (S2) is formed by a stationary electrode (31,
32) and a movable electrode (41, 42) configured by a snap
plate. According to the invention, the movable electrode (41)
of the center switch (S1) and the movable electrodes (42) of
the side switches S2 are placed so as to be overlap with each
other in the thickness direction of the body 1, and hence the
size of the body (1) can be reduced by a degree corresponding
to the overlapping width (D).

Abstract: In fabricating a heat sink from a blank comprising a
base plate portion, and a fin-forming portion to be cut
and provided on at least one side of the base plate
portion by cutting the fin-forming portion to a raised
form to make a plurality of fins, an object of the
invention is to reduce the likelihood of producing burrs
which are difficult to remove when the base plate
portion is drilled while assuring the base plate portion
of suitable machinability to render the heat sink less
costly to manufacture. 
     In a heat sink 1 having a plurality of fins 3 and
fabricated from a blank 11 comprising a base plate
portion 12, and a fin-forming portion 13 to be cut and
provided on at least one side of the base plate portion
12 by cutting the fin-forming portion 13 to a raised
form to make the fins 3, the above object can be
fulfilled by using as the heat sink blank 11 an aluminum
or aluminum alloy extrudate having a Vickers hardness of
40 to 65.

Abstract: A plasma mass filter using a helical magnetic field for separating low-mass
particles from high-mass particles in a multi-species plasma includes a
cylindrical outer wall located at a distance "a" from a longitudinal axis. Also
included is a coaxial cylindrical inner wall positioned to establish a plasma
chamber between the inner and outer walls. The magnetic field is generated
in this chamber with an axial component (B z ) and an azimuthal component
(B  ), which interact together with an electric field to create crossed magnetic
and electric fields. The electric field has a positive potential, V ctr , on the inner
wall and a zero potential on the outer wall. With these crossed magnetic and
electric fields, a multi-species plasma is moved through the chamber with a
velocity, v z , high-mass particles in the plasma (M 2 ) are ejected into the outer
wall and low-mass particles (M 1 ) are confined in the chamber during transit of
the chamber to separate the low-mass particles from the high-mass particles,
where M 1  < M c  < M 2 , and where M c  = (ea 2 (B z   2  + B    2 )/8v) {f(B  /B)}.

Abstract: The invention provides surgical needles with a porous distal portion from which a liquid injectate will weep or ooze multidirectionally under injection pressure while the porous distal portion of the needle is inserted into a body surface. The porous distal portion of the needle can be fabricated from a porous carbon, metal, ceramic or polymer and preferably has a decreasing gradient of impedance to fluid flowing to the point of the needle to compensate for the falling off of injection pressure as fluid moves towards the point, thereby ensuring uniform weeping of the injectate along the injection course. The needle is adapted for attachment to a catheter or syringe. In another embodiment, a surgical assemblage is provided wherein a porous distal portion having similar fluid flow characteristics is located along the distal end of a catheter, and a needle point is attached to the distal end of the catheter (e.g., a steerable catheter) for piercing tissue. A guidance catheter can be used to direct the invention devices to a remote internal injection site. The invention devices and methods can be used to inject fluids (including those containing nucleic acids for gene therapy) into interior body walls or tissue, such as a beating heart, without substantial loss of fluid and without substantial damage to tissue caused by injectate.

Abstract: Par l'application à grande échelle de techniques reposant sur l'utilisation de micropuces à ADN, les programmes du développement moléculaire de l'hippocampe, une structure corticale essentielle pour l'apprentissage et la mémoire, ont été analysés. Plus de 30 000 gènes et séquences EST ont été criblés, notamment une proportion estimée à 30-40 % des gènes totaux du génome de la souris. La présente invention porte sur l'identification de 4 390 gènes qui ont montré des modifications dynamiques durant le développement de l'hippocampe. A l'aide d'une analyse par batteries de gènes, ces gènes ont en outre été regroupés en 16 batteries distinctes présentant des structures particulières pouvant être mises en corrélation avec les principaux repères du développement. On a procédé ensuite à l'analyse de la covariance, qui a permis d'identifier un groupe de gènes dont l'expression pourrait être à l'origine des modifications phénotypiques dans l'hippocampe.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing location-based identification in a communication network. The method comprises establishing a network connection between a host and a network, transmitting network data packets from the host through a connection port, transmitting data packets from the host through a location-specific connection port and identifying the port at an access concentrator in the form of a port identifier. The port identifier is then communicated to a network device, typically a gateway device, and stored in a database in communication with the network device. In another embodiment the method includes tagging the network packets at the access concentrator with a port identifier that corresponds to a media access control (MAC) address. The invention also provides for a network apparatus that includes a processor that is capable of communicating with an access concentrator to determine the port identity corresponding to a data packet MAC address. The network device is then able to use the location-based identities to structure billing schemes and manage the overall network that the service provider has established.
