Patent EP-1336693-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEONARD STEPHEN BOWNE
IPC: E03D9/03
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: A liquid dispenser 1 comprises a housing 2 and a hook 3 for suspending the housing 2
from the rim of a lavatory bowl. A user inserts a sealed inverted reservoir bottle 6 into
the housing 2, which breaks the seal. A porous pad 7 located in the housing 2 conveys
liquid from the bottle 6 to a position within the stream of flushing water. 
     The pad 7 can be adjusted to accommodate different lavatories and has two guide slots
which are engaged by two fingers in the housing which define two extreme positions of
the pad 7. 
     To allow venting of the bottle 6, small vent holes 14 are formed in the pad 7. 
     The pad may alternatively be a solid plate of the same shape but having a number of
raised holes or elongate slots. The plate may be have a venting post which mates with
the mouth of the bottle 6. 
     Venting may be achieved by providing an aperture in the bottle. The top of the bottle
may be provided with: a one-way valve; with a plug which seals the aperture, the
housing having a pin which bears on the plug and releases it into the bottle; a breakable
seal which covers the aperture, the housing being provided with a tube member which
seals the aperture; or a removable tab which covers the aperture and which is broken
away from the bottle prior to insertion, either by the user or, automatically, by a
projection within the housing.

Abstract: A video processing method generates output images for display, each output
image having one or more regions derived from a first source image separated by a wipe
boundary from one or more regions derived from a second source image, each display
position of the source images having an associated transparency coefficient. The method
comprises the steps of: preparing the first source image for display in a display memory;
defining a wipe origin locus representing a wipe boundary when substantially all of the
output image is derived from the first source image and a wipe destination locus
representing a wipe boundary when substantially all of the output image is derived from
the second source image, points on the wipe destination locus being associated with
points on the wipe origin locus, each such pair of associated points defining a respective
wipe progression direction; generating a wipe control signal defining proportions of the
first and second source images to be displayed with respect to normalised display distance
along a wipe progression direction from the wipe origin locus and the wipe destination
locus; modifying the transparency coefficient of the first source image held in the display
memory, the transparency coefficient of each display position being modified in
dependence on value of the wipe control signal corresponding to the normalised display
distance along the wipe progression direction between that display position and the wipe
origin locus and between that display position and the wipe destination locus; and writing
the second source image over the first source image in the display memory so that the first
source image is modified by pixels of the second source image in dependence on the
transparency coefficient associated with each display position of the first source image.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de détecter une molécule d'acide nucléique cible ayant une séquence connue entre plusieurs molécules d'acide nucléique. Le procédé décrit dans cette invention consiste à hybrider deux oligonucléotides à des séquences nucléotidiques adjacentes sur la molécule d'acide nucléique cible; à ligaturer les deux oligonucléotides ensemble; puis à étendre l'amorce qui s'hybride à l'extrémité 3' de l'oligonucléotide s'hybridant à la séquence nucléotidique 5' sur la molécule d'acide nucléique cible. Si la molécule d'acide nucléique cible est présente (et qu'elle permet, ainsi, la ligature des deux oligonucléotides), l'extension de l'amorce décolle une sonde de détection hybridée à l'extrémité 5' de l'oligonucléotide qui est hybridé à la séquence nucléotidique 3' sur la molécule d'acide nucléique cible. L'invention concerne également des trousses permettant de mettre en oeuvre les procédés susmentionnés.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil d'enfoncement et de battage de montants. Un des problèmes avec les systèmes actuels réside dans la fixation d'un mécanisme de battage à la liaison trois-points classique d'un tracteur. Il est quelquefois difficile de manoeuvrer le système dans des endroits restreints, comme sur des pentes ou un sol mou. L'invention permet d'assurer que l'appareil d'enfoncement et de battage de montants prend naturellement une position d'aplomb quelle que soit sa position ou son inclinaison. Elle concerne donc un appareil d'enfoncement de montants comprenant: des moyens d'alignement connectés, de façon opératoire, à un moteur primaire par un bras support, et un dispositif d'enfoncement suspendu à ces moyens d'alignement, le dispositif d'enfoncement comprenant des moyens d'enfoncement de montant ou d'article analogue dans le sol. Le bras support peut être connecté et mû par le moteur primaire. Dans un autre mode de réalisation un enfonceur de montant est agencé de façon à maintenir et guider un montant alors qu'il est battu au moyen d'un mouton via une plaque d'impact. L'enfonceur est conçu pour recevoir une plaque d'impact et de profil amovible parmi plusieurs. Les plaques d'impact et de profil sont conçues pour recevoir des palplanches carrées, semi-circulaires et ondulées de façon qu'elles soient maintenues verticales pendant leur enfoncement et que la force d'impact soit transmise de façon uniforme à la surface de la palplanche qui pénètre dans le sol. Les plaques de profil et d'impact sont réversibles de façon à pouvoir réaliser des séries continues d'enfoncement de palplanches, par exemple, de droite à gauche ou de gauche à droite. Une section de découpe équipe la partie de l'enfonceur qui supporte le guide de palplanche de façon à ce que les palplanches adjacentes, contiguës soient enfoncées à la même profondeur.

Abstract: An effective meal average (EMA) value is presented, followed by two or more of the individual values that make up the EMA, to provide improved feedback data for clinical decisions by patients who need to alter their dose of insulin. The EMA can comprise a measure of the variability of its constituent values, encompass values that occur at specified times such as 1 hour before and after a specified meal time, and be calculated over a limited number of days previous to the calculation (e.g., 3 days) and have a minimum number of values that must be obtained within the time and date ranges. An algorithm can exclude any given reading from the average (e.g., post-prandial or control solution readings). Patients can use 1 to 8 EMA on any given date range (e.g., preferably 4, that is, breakfast, lunch, supper and bedtime snack).

Abstract: The object of the invention is to prevent
reduction of the system capacity caused by the use of a
channelization code belonging to the secondary
scrambling code. Instead of trying to select a
channelization code belonging to each of the primary
and secondary scrambling codes for one cell in a
conventional manner, selection of a channelization code
belonging to the primary scrambling code is tried
sequentially for a plurality of cells (S02, S04). If
the selection of the code has been failed, it is
determined whether selection is tried again under a
different condition (S06). Then, when trying again,
selection of a channelization code belonging to the
secondary scrambling code is tried sequentially for the
plurality of cells (S07, S09).

Abstract: A diaphragm carburetor-based fuel supply system (46) is equipped with an air purge
system (48) that vents trapped air from the fuel supply system (46). The air purge system (48)
preferably includes a vent tube (90) having an outlet opening (94) into the upper portion of the
system's fuel tank (50) and an inlet (92) located as close as practical to the diaphragm chamber of
the carburetor (52), preferably within an internal passage of the carburetor (52) or at least in a
fitting or fuel supply tube portion located closely adjacent the fuel inlet of the carburetor (52).
The resulting system requires only a few pull strokes to start a freshly fueled engine, as
opposed to about 15 strokes in a system lacking such an air purge system. It also permits
the use of a choke that is incapable of fully closing, thereby negating the need for a "false
hit" during cold engine start.
