Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil conçu pour mesurer le débit d'un fluide s'écoulant dans un pipeline avec un débit minimal, au moyen d'un débitmètre massique à accélération de Coriolis. Le débitmètre possède un unique tube d'écoulement comportant deux boucles reliées par une section de croisement. Un organe d'entraînement fait osciller les boucles et l'on mesure la différence de phase entre les extrémités des boucles. Puis on utilise cette différence de phase mesurée pour déterminer le débit du fluide. Le tube d'écoulement est attaché fixement à un organe d'ancrage qui, à sont tour, est fixé à un châssis. Cet organe d'ancrage sépare la partie dynamique, oscillante, du débitmètre de sa partie non oscillante.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the fluid supply of a consumer element, comprising a fluid reservoir (14), a fluid supply line (18, 20, 36, 24) leading from the fluid reservoir to the consumer element and a valve in the fluid supply line. The valve element (22) of said valve independently opens the valve opening (20) whenever downstream from the valve the consumer element has used a preset quantity of fluid. Said device is characterized in that the valve is a capillary valve and contains a capillary space (36) positioned downstream from the valve opening and connected to the fluid supply line, said capillary space being partly delimited by the valve element. Said valve element closes the valve opening by the capillary force generated by the fluid in the capillary space when said capillary space is filled with a predefined volume of fluid.

Inventor: ESMON CHARLES T
IPC: C07K14/74
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: Plasma EPCR has been isolated, characterized and shown to block cellular protein C activation and APC anticoagulant activity. Plasma EPCR appears to be about 43,000 daltons and circulates at approximately 100 ng/ml (98.4+/-27.8 ng/ml, n=22). Plasma EPCR bound activated protein C with an affinity similar to that of recombinant soluble EPCR (Kdapp approximately 30 nM), and inhibits both protein C activation on an endothelial cell line and APC anticoagulant activity in a one-stage factor Xa clotting assay. Soluble plasma EPCR appears to attenuate the membrane-bound EPCR augmentation of protein C activation and the anticoagulant function of activated protein C. Soluble EPCR has also been detected in urine. Levels of soluble EPCR can rise in inflammatory disease associated with vascular injury and appear to be correlated with inflammation and disease states associated with abnormal coagulation. Since EPCR expression is restricted to larger vessels and is usually negative in cappillaries, these observations provide a mechanism for analyzing injury/stimulation of large vessel endothelial cells.

Abstract: A two-wheeled roller skate with canted wheels has an axle for the forward wheel located well forward of the ball of the foot. The axle for the rear wheel is located at the rear of the skater's heel. The wheels are canted so that the front and rear wheels contact the ground on the opposite sides of the center line of the skater's foot. In plan projection, the axles are preferably non-parallel in order to provide steering correction. The amount of steering correction desirable will depend on the skater's skill and the nature of the skating activity. In alternative embodiments, the present invention incorporates novel braking mechanisms.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to provide with a three-dimensional
measuring apparatus which is easily applied for commercial applications in terms
of cost and operation, and which can complement a missing three-dimensional
shape portion which has a border to the background, such as the hair portion of a
human profile. The detection head (102 in Fig. 1) measures a three-dimensional
shape of an object to be measured (101) such as a human profile which is placed
near to a backboard (201 in Fig. 2). The shape calculation portion (110 in Fig.1)
derives from measured three-dimensional object shape data a missing area which
consists of pixels having invalid value data, and which is surrounded by a
background area consisting of pixels having background data corresponding to
said backboard (201) and which is surrounded by a valid measured object area
consisting of pixels having valid data of said object to be measured (101), and
complements pixels composing said derived missing area. As a result, the missing
area in the human hair portion and the like as a part of the object to be measured
(101) can be restored.

Abstract: A unique filtration device (10) which continuously removes gas phase contaminants from an air stream through the use of partially hollow wicking fibers (20) impregnated with a fine solid powder and a selected chemisorptive liquid (18) which can capture the gas phase contaminants. The wicking fibers (20) are generally disposed to extend in the same direction and are formed into a filter element (12). The air stream to be cleaned is directed through filter element (12). The wicking fibers (20) include internal longitudinal cavities (22) filled with a fine powder and each having a relatively small longitudinal extending opening (24). The wicking fibers (20) are filled with the selected contaminant removing chemisorptive liquid through capillary action by which the individual wicking fibers (20) rapidly draw the selected chemisorptive liquid, with which they come into contact, through the internal cavities (22). The chemisorptive liquid and fine powder remains within the wicking fiber cavities (22) and generally does not enter the space between the wicking fibers yet through the longitudinal openings (24) the chemisorptive liquid is in full fluid communication with the air stream flowing past the fibers (20).
