Abstract: Appareil (100) servant à précharger un condensateur filtre (125) pour prévenir l'endommagement d'un ensemble de contacts (115) pouvant résulter de la formation d'un arc aux contacts (115). L'appareil comporte une bobine (110), un ensemble de contacts (115), et une batterie (120) conçus de façon que les contacts (115) et le condensateur filtre (125) sont montés en série et que la combinaison montée en série est montée en parallèle à la batterie (120). L'appareil comporte aussi un commutateur (130), et un microprocesseur (140) pour produire un signal de déclenchement en réaction à la fermeture du commutateur (130). Un circuit de commande (150) reçoit le signal de déclenchement et réagit en produisant un signal de charge. Un circuit de charge (191) reçoit le signal de charge et réagit en chargeant le condensateur filtre (125). Ensuite, le microprocesseur (140) produit un signal d'excitation entraînant la mise sous tension de la bobine (110) et, par réaction, la fermeture des contacts (115). En préchargeant le condensateur filtre (125) avant la fermeture des contacts (115), le potentiel de courant aux contacts (115) est réduit. Il s'ensuit qu'un endommagement dû à la formation d'un arc aux contacts (115) ne peut se produire.

Abstract: Described herein is a variable displacement bent axis type hydraulic machine having a center shaft (12) within a casing (1) in a tilted state along with a valve plate (8) and a cylinder block (4), and provided with a tilt angle sensor mechanism (31) for detecting the tilt angle of the valve plate (8). For the purpose of improving the resolution in angle detection, the tilt angle sensor mechanism (31) is constituted by a support shaft (34) rotatably supported on a side wall of the casing (1) at a position deviated toward the valve plate (8) from the pivoting point of the center shaft (12), a rocking lever (35) having one end thereof securely fixed to the support shaft (34) and the other end pivotally supported at one side of the valve plate (8), and an angle sensor (38) adapted to detect the rotational angle of the support shaft (34) resulting from rocking movement of the rocking lever (35). This arrangement permits a wider rotational angle for the support shaft (34) to guarantee higher resolution in the tilt angle detection.

Abstract: A pad (22) for isolating a weight (4) from vibration of a resonant beam (8) in a resonant beam support system (6) for dissipating heat. The pad is constructed of a rubberlike material having ridges (58) and grooves (60). The ridges and grooves include a trapezoidal configuration which yields an increasing resistance to compression, i.e., spring rate, with increasing deflection. Altering the configuration of the ridges and grooves permits variation in spring rate. The pads may be constructed of standard truck tire recap tread and arranged in a square configuration. Water is injected between the pads and grooves through inlets (50, 52) to cool the pads. An aluminum plate (48) is mounted between first and second layers (40, 41) of tire recap tread to increase heat dissipation.

Abstract: A method is provided for the determination of the presence of a reverse transcriptase in a sample liquid. In an aqueous medium, at least an adenine ribopolynucleotide RNA template (poly A), an immobilized oligodeoxythyminenucleotide and a biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate are reacted in the presence of the sample liquid. After separation of the reacted and the unreacted biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate from each other, the reacted or the unreacted biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate is detected. Also provided is a method for the determination of infection of a patient to a retrovirus. The reaction is conducted in the presence of a sample body fluid and the reverse transcriptase. After the detection of the reacted or the unreacted biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate, the reverse-transcriptase-neutralizing and/or inhibiting antibody titer in the sample body fluid is determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to a vacuum processing method and apparatus. When a sample (6) is plasma-processed under a reduced pressure, a sample bed (5,7) is cooled by a cooling medium (10) kept at a predetermined temperature lower than the desired processing temperature. The sample is held on the sample bed. To control the sample temperature, a heat transfer gas is supplied between the back of the sample and the sample installation surface of the sample bed, and the pressure of the heat transfer gas is controlled so as to bring the sample to a predetermined processing temperature. In this way, a sample temperature can be regulated rapidly without increasing the size of the apparatus.

The detecting means (12) detects magnetic flux density of the magnet means (11) and outputs a voltage based on the detected magnetic flux density. The initial position of the lens (8) is determined as a point where the output voltage indicates zero or approximately zero.

Abstract: Novel assays and reagents for determining coagulative properties of blood or plasma are disclosed, as are agents and methods for stemming bleeding. Novel ellagic acid-based activators consist essentially of aqueous solutions of ellagic acid, phenol and suitable metal ions and give defined values for a novel platelet assay also disclosed. Inventive coagulation reagents including propyl gallate or tannin are also disclosed, as are aPTT reagents having sensitivity to heparin and Factor deficiencies far superior to prior aPTT reagents. Disclosed heparin-sensitive reagents include dextran sulfate. Also disclosed is applicant's discovery that reagents including hydroxy-substituted compounds and metal ions, heretofore known to activate Hagemann Factor, also cause platelets to release Platelet Factor 3, and a series of platelet-sensitive tests found to be enabled by this discovery. These platelet-sensitive tests include assays for platelet activity, systemic lupus, platelet reserve, which can signify type II lipoprotein defects, and for Platelet Factor 4. Disclosed methods and materials for stemming bleeding center around applicant's discovery that bleeding from bleeding sites can be stopped up to six times faster by applying to the site a hemostatic agent including effective amounts of hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound and metal ion.

Abstract: Le dispositif de surveillance du CO2 artériel et le contrôleur en boucle fermée s'utilisant avec un ventilateur, surveille la respiration du malade et détermine la PaCO2 en se basant sur la détermination d'un rapport d'espace inutilisé, qui est le rapport entre l'espace alvéolaire inutilisé et le volume alvéolaire de flux et de reflux. Le procédé comprend, de façon générale, les étapes de surveillance continue des paramètres mesurables de la respiration du malade; d'obtention d'une valeur d'entrée de PaCO2 à partir d'un échantillon de sang du malade et l'utilisation des paramètres de respiration et de la valeur d'entrée pour calculer le rapport d'espace inutilisé; enfin, la détermination continue du PaCO2 en se basant sur la supposition que le rapport d'espace inutilisé est constant. On utilise également de préférence les règles de décision obtenues à partir d'autres données mesurables pour identifier le début de modifications dans l'espace inutilisé et on détermine ensuite un nouveau rapport d'espace inutilisé à partir des paramètres de respiration du malade et une autre valeur d'entrée de PaCO2 obtenue à partir de l'échantillon de sang du malade.

Abstract: Electronic arrangement for measuring and balancing out-of-balance washloads in the rotating drum of washing machines, as they may be caused to occur by an uneven distribution of the clothes in the drum when it rotates at its wash and spin-extraction speeds. 
     Arrangement that measures the active power input to the drum driving motor (1), said active power input being in a proportional relationship with the mechanical stresses that are being placed on the drum itself, and that compares, in a comparator circuit (27), the value of said measured active power input with a pre-determined value of a reference power corresponding to the active power input to the drive motor (1) at the moment when the out-of-balance condition of the washload in the rotating drum starts occurring. 
     As a result of this comparison, said comparator circuit (27) will either allow the drum driving motor (1) to run regularly, if no such out-of-balance condition is detected, or changes the rotational speed of said drum driving motor (1) in the case that said out-of-balance condition is on the contrary detected, and keeps varying the motor's rpm parameter until the washload actually manages to get evenly redistributed in the rotating drum and the out-of-balance condition is therefore removed.
