Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de titrage consistant à guider un échantillon à titrer dans un conduit, à ajouter un réactif audit conduit à au moins deux positions d'entrée le long du conduit de façon que le réactif réagira avec l'échantillon dans au moins un secteur individuel du conduit, défini comme l'espace compris entre deux positions d'entrée consécutives, ou un secteur individuel final défini entre une position d'entrée finale et un point de sortie d'échantillon du conduit, tandis qu'au moins un dispositif de détection placé à l'extrémité de chaque secteur du conduit enregistre le statut chimique et/ou physique. Une différence de pression est établie entre le dispositif de distribution de réactif et le conduit d'échantillon, de façon que cette différence de pression mesurée entre le dispositif de distribution de réactif et l'extrémité du secteur individuel final soit supérieure à la chute de pression totale entre le point de distribution d'échantillon et l'extrémité du secteur individuel final.

Title: Underwater magnetic field communication system
Inventor: ERDMANN ERICH
IPC: H04B13/02
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: I feel there is a need for submarines to communicate effectively with other submarines ships and airplanes. The same invention can also be used for trapped miners to communicate with their rescuers. If for a moment we oversimplify it, the invention is basically a radio transmitting and receiving antenna system that works under water as well as above it and attaches to standard radio transmitting and receiving equipment. Its purpose is primarily that submarines can communicate with other submarines, even robot submarines, ships, as well as aircraft flying overhead or even land based stations. Whether the submarine is submerged or surfaced should make no difference in transmission or reception of radio signals except for a slight difference in the tuning of the transmitting system. The system also works underground up to a point depending on the distance and radio frequency used. This is basically in a nutshell what it's all about. Unlike other systems in use at present, which work on sound which is plagued by echoes, or the electrical conductivity of water that limits its use to water only, or in some cases in one way transmission only, my system has no such obstacles and even can be used for TV transmission.

Title: Systems and methods for monitoring behavior informatics
Inventor: BRUNNER DANIELA
IPC: G16B50/20
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A system and method used to assess animal behavior includes a module (1510) having sensors (1505) that collects a variety of physical and biological data from a test subject. Interpretation of the data is provided to assess the test subject's behavior, neurology, biochemistry and physiology. The module is useful in observing the effects of a drug on the test animal and providing information on the drug's signature. Another advantage is module's portability that allows it to be used in standard laboratory cages. (NOT SURE ABOUT THIS  PORTABILITY) This portability allows the animal to be tested in its own habitat, that can reduce any erroneous data due to stressing the animal when removed to a test cage. Additionally, the module's design allows for parallel data collection and interpretation from several laboratory animals undergoing different experiments. Multi-dimensional modeling of the test subject based the system's interpretation of the data allows pattern recognition of the drug signature, and predictive drug analysis.
