Title: Carbon dioxide blown low density, flexible microcellular elastomers suitable for preparing shoe components
Inventor: YOUNES USAMA E
IPC: C08G18/48
Filed: 2002-01-10
Granted: 2011-03-22
Abstract: Microcellular polyurethane flexible foams suitable for use as lightweight shoe sole components are produced by dissolving carbon dioxide into one or both of the iso-side or resin-side of an isocyanate-prepolymer-based microcellular polyurethane foam formulation. The resultant foams possess more uniform cell structure and enhanced physical properties as compared to all water-blown foams of the same basic formulation and density. The hardness of the foams is more suitable for shoe sole, particularly midsole applications, than that of the water-blown foams, despite the lower urea hard segment content of the CO2 blown foams.

Granted: 2008-03-25
Abstract: The invention includes a method, apparatus, and computer program to determine whether a sound source is situated near or far from a pair of microphones situated within a reverberant space. A signal detector is applied to the data;  only the data that passes the signal detector is processed any further. The signal at the two microphones is compared to obtain the angular distribution of acoustic power. The concentration of acoustic power in the direct path versus reverberant paths is determined and used to compute a direct-to-reverberant ratio. If this ratio is greater than a selected threshold, the sound source is determined to be near the microphones. Otherwise, the sound source is determined to be far from the microphones.

Abstract: Un distributeur automatique de boissons comprend des capteurs de contrôle de divers paramètres, tels que la température (T1) dans sa chambre réfrigérée (30), et pour le contrôle de l'occupation de l'espace (06) à proximité de la chambre. Les données du capteur sont utilisées pour déterminer le moment où doit s'effectuer la commutation entre un mode de fonctionnement normal (S1) et un mode de fonctionnement (56) de gestion d'énergie. Quel que soit le mode de fonctionnement, un système (40) de refroidissement est régulé, de sorte qu'un compresseur (45) se mette en marche lorsqu'une limite de température interne supérieure est atteinte et s'arrête lorsqu'un seuil de température interne inférieur est atteint. En mode de fonctionnement normal, des ventilateurs (F1, F2) font circuler de l'air dans la chambre, de manière qu'une température relativement homogène soit maintenue dans celle-ci. En mode de gestion d'énergie, les ventilateurs sont arrêtés la plupart du temps ainsi que le compresseur. En l'absence de circulation, la température au sein de la chambre réfrigérée se stratifie, de manière qu'une zone froide inférieure (CZ) et une zone chaude supérieure puissent être distinctes. Des boîtes de boisson (C1) sont maintenues en piles verticales (27), de manière que les boîtes inférieures soient situées dans la zone froide.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des réactifs mis en oeuvre pour analyser des cellules tumorales en circulation, des agrégats, des fragments et des débris associés. L'analyse est effectuée au moyen d'un certain nombre de plates-formes, notamment une cytométrie de flux et le système d'imagerie par microscopie fluorescente CellSpotter®*. L'analyse de cellules endommagées s'est avérée très importante. Cependant, il y a deux sources de dommages: <i>in vivo</i> et <i>in vitro</i>. Des dommages <i>in vivo</i> sont causés par apoptose, nécrose ou réponse immune. Des dommages <i>in vitro</i> apparaissent au cours de l'acquisition, de la manipulation, du transport, du traitement ou de l'analyse d'échantillons. Il est, par conséquent, souhaitable de limiter, de réduire, d'éliminer ou au moins de qualifier des dommages <i>in vitro</i>, de manière à empêcher ceux-ci d'interférer dans l'analyse. L'invention concerne également des procédés de diagnostic, de surveillance et de balayage de maladie fondés sur des cellules rares en circulation, notamment une malignité telle que déterminée par CTC, des agrégats, des fragments et des débris, ainsi que des kits permettant de doser des spécimens biologiques au moyen de ces procédés.

Abstract: In a method of estimating a bit rate (f1) of a digital signal conveyed through a SONET network between an originating node and a terminating node, the digital signal received by the originating node is processed to determine a result of a first function of the signal bit rate (f1) and a respective Tx local reference frequency (f2) of the originating node. A result of a second function of the Tx local reference frequency (f2) and a respective Rx local reference frequency (f3) of the terminating node is calculated. Finally, a result of a third function of the respective first and second function results is calculated, to derive an estimate of the signal bit rate (f4) relative to the Rx local reference frequency (f3).
