Patent EP-1349450-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FINKELSTEIN JOSEPH
IPC: A01M29/32
Filed: 2001-09-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif perchoir de lutte contre les oiseaux destiné à protéger une zone. Ledit dispositif comporte au moins deux éléments de base coopérants montés au-dessus de la zone à protéger, et plusieurs épis saillants s'appuyant sur les éléments de base et se projetant dans l'espace au-dessus de ladite zone. Ces épis sont fournis en combinaisons intercalaires de projections verticales formant des angles obtus et aigus, et d'une densité élevée qui empêche le juchage dans la zone protégée. Ainsi, chaque point dans la zone à protéger est défendu par plusieurs épis, chacun orienté différemment de façon à se défendre mutuellement, créant une défense du périmètre enveloppant le volume aérien entourant les éléments de base. Chaque dispositif est facile et peu coûteux à réaliser en maille continue, que l'on peut construire dans des dimensions standard en fonction des besoins de l'utilisateur. D'ordinaire, le diamètre de l'élément est d'environ 2 millimètres. Le petit diamètre de l'élément rend l'ensemble du dispositif difficile à voir à distance et ne nuit par conséquent pas à l'esthétique des bâtiments.

IPC: C12Q1/682

Abstract: A method for the amplification of a template nucleic acid comprises simultaneously carrying out the steps of reacting a nucleic acid primer with said template nucleic acid, normal DNA precursor nucleotides, at least one modified DNA precursor nucleotide and a DNA polymerase so as to obtain an extended nucleic acid primer, said nucleic acid primer remaining bound to said template; cleaving the modified base-containing extended nucleic acid primer so as to generate a free 3'-OH terminus that is extendible by said DNA polymerase; and repeating steps i) and ii) on DNA fragments thereby generated. The modified precursor nucleotide may be a substrate for a DNA glycosylase or recognised by a 3'-endonuclease and determines the cleavage of the DNA and the site of the cleavage accordingly. The method has significant advantages over existing technologies in that it is more versatile and more flexible with respect to providing a single high throughput process that can be easily adapted to multiple different formats in the fields of DNA detection, quantitation and characterisation.

Abstract: Walking aid apparatus comprises handle portion and a shaft portion including a ground-contacting ferrule, the shaft portion comprising telescopically-mounted cylindrical spindle and sleeve elements and a spring means acting between seats of said spindle and sleeve elements resiliently to restrain relative axial sliding movement, in which the apparatus includes a sliding friction-reducing means between at least one end of the spring means and the associated seat, whereby the handle portion and the ferrule are axially rotatable to accommodate twisting movement as between the user and the ground in use. The sliding friction-reducing means results in controlled rotation as between the spring means and the spindle and/or elements with considerable benefits to the user in avoiding tortional loading to the twist, elbow and/or shoulder joints which can be especially painful to those who suffer from arthritis.

Abstract: The invention generates mechanical energy and electrical
energy efficiently, by combining a Stirling engine and a
fuel cell. 
     To achieve this, a solid electrolyte type fuel cell FC is
disposed between an air passage 35 for supplying air to a
heater 24 of a Stirling engine E and a fuel passage 36
for supplying a fuel. Air and the fuel react with each
other in the solid electrolyte type fuel cell FC to
generate electrical energy, an off gas containing the
unreacted fuel discharged from the solid electrolyte type
fuel cell FC is supplied to the heater 24 of the Stirling
engine E and subjected to catalytic combustion, and the
resulting heat is used to operate the Stirling engine E
to generate mechanical energy. The solid electrolyte type
fuel cell FC is annular-shaped and so disposed as to
surround the heater 24, and the heat of reaction
generated in the solid electrolyte type fuel cell FC is
made to act on the heater 24, thereby contributing to
elevation of the temperature of the heater 24.

Abstract: Provided a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack with at least
two cell units. Each cell unit includes: a catalyzed membrane (11) formed by catalyzing
both surfaces of an electrolyte layer; a fuel flow field portion (12) and air flow field portion (15)
formed at opposite surfaces of the catalyzed membrane, at least one of the fuel and
air flow field portions comprising a parallel flow field (12b,15b) which induces gas flow in a
direction parallel to the surface of the catalyzed membrane and an orthogonal flow
field (12a,15a) which induces gas flow in a direction orthogonal to the surface of the catalyzed
membrane; a bipolar plate (14) in contact with each outer surface of the fuel flow region
portion and the air flow region portions. The volume and weight of the entire fuel
cell stack can be flexibly reduced by adjusting the number of cell units. In addition,
a defective cell unit can be easily replaced without performance degradation in the
cell stack. The use of bipolar plates as electrodes promotes gas flow. The
PEMFC stack can effectively dissipate the reaction heat with a cooling member (30) and
can increase the power density per unit weight and volume. In particular, a
pressure drop can be prevented with a serpentine air flow channel formed in the air
flow field region, thereby increasing fuel conversion efficiency.

Abstract: A switch relay with a switching status display is
described, in which a display element is in operative
connection with a switch contact of the switch relay and
displays the switch positions in a clearly recognisable
manner. The display element enlarges the display stroke so
that a contact movement is more readily visible. The
principle is based on the elongation of a pointer of the
flexing line of for example a constructed film hinge. As a
result of a display element, constructed as a synthetic part
low in mass, the contact dynamics are reduced by only a
small extent.

Abstract: Dans un mode de réalisation de cette invention, un système permet de tester capacitivement des signaux électriques dans un circuit intégré. Ce système consiste à placer un conducteur sonde à proximité d'un conducteur cible, sans que les deux conducteurs ne se touchent, dans un circuit intégré. Dans cette position, le conducteur sonde et le conducteur cible forment un condensateur qui stocke une charge entre le conducteur sonde et le conducteur cible. Ensuite, ce système détecte un changement dans une tension sonde sur le conducteur sonde, provoqué par un changement dans la tension cible sur le conducteur cible, et ensuite détermine une valeur logique pour le conducteur cible en fonction du changement de la tension sonde. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de cette invention, le fait de déterminer la valeur logique du conducteur cible implique de déterminer une première valeur si la tension sonde diminue, et de déterminer une seconde valeur si la tension sonde augmente.
