Patent EP-0898701-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JALINK HENDRIK
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1997-04-28
Abstract: The invention is related to a method and an apparatus for sorting seeds for the assessment of the maturity and quality of seeds by measuring the amount of chlorophyll fluorescence. The method is based on measuring the amount of chlorophyll fluorescence of the seed envelope and of tissue containing chlorophyll becoming visible when cracks in the seed envelope are present. The invention consists of inducing fluorescence of the chlorophyll molecule by irradiating the seeds with electromagnetic radiation with a suitable wavelength and measuring the chlorophyll fluorescence. Properties of the method are the very high sensitivity, being fully non-destructive and the very high speed. These characteristics of the invention make it possible to construct a sorting device by which seeds can be selected on basis of the amount of chlorophyll. Because the intensity of chlorophyll fluorescence is directly related to the maturity and the presence of cracks in the seed envelope, and therefore the quality of the seed, it is now possible to sort seeds on their quality. Experiments are being described of seeds from white cabbage, sugarbeet, carrot, pepper and tomato.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous resin which may be used in aqueous coating agent, adhesive, paint base, (binder) resin or modifier thereof and relates also to a method of manufacturing the resin. The present invention provides a method of manufacturing composite aqueous dispersion and aqueous dispersion resin, which are capable of solving the drawbacks of the convention which arise particularly when aqueous polyurethane resin is to be modified by aqueous acrylic resin, namely, the low modifying effect, non-uniformity of the film formed and troublesomeness of manufacturing the aqueous dispersion resin attributable to, e.g., the low compatibility and non-abundance of the covalent bond. The invention's method is characterized by the step of dispersing a polyurethane prepolymer including hydrolytic silicon in the molecule thereof within an aqueous resin polymer of ethylenic unsaturated monomer dispersion including hydrolytic silicon in the molecule thereof. Preferably, the polyurethane prepolymer including hydrolytic silicon in the molecule thereof and the aqueous resin polymer of ethylenic unsaturated monomer dispersion including hydrolytic silicon in the molecule thereof are used in a solid weight ratio ranging in 0.5-99.5/99.5-0.5.

Title: Moniteur cardiaque large bande par pouls externe
Inventor: BLANK SEYMOUR
IPC: A61B7/04

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil permettant de vérifier l'état cardio-vasculaire d'un mammifère. Cet appareil comprend un système (20) servant à appliquer sur une artère une pression capable de restreindre l'écoulement sanguin dans l'artère considérée. L'appareil comprend également un transducteur large bande de pouls externe (26) délivrant un signal de sortie et situé de façon à mesurer des signaux acoustiques au voisinage de l'artère considérée. L'appareil comporte enfin un calculateur (32) recevant ce signal de sortie, de façon à évaluer, à partir de cette sortie, une valeur d'impédance vasculaire périphérique. L'évaluation des tensions artérielles systolique et diastolique se fait sur la base de l'apparition et de la disparition d'un signal haute fréquence à l'occasion de modification de la pression du brassard compressif (10) bloquant partiellement l'écoulement sanguin artériel. Le procédé, qui consiste ensuite à évaluer le signal de tension artérielle en mesurant les émissions acoustiques large bande d'une artère non bloquée, consiste alors à étalonner au moyen de tensions artérielles systolique et diastolique de référence les points supérieur et inférieur du signal de tension artériel. Pour calculer la résistance vasculaire systémique, on bloque l'écoulement sanguin par une pression supersystolique et on résout une équation linéaire du premier ordre intégrant un logarithme naturel d'une différence entre, d'une part l'amplitude du principal point supérieur systolique ainsi que du principal point inférieur systolique, et d'autre part l'amplitude d'un second point supérieur systolique. Il est ensuite possible de réduire cette équation linéaire du premier ordre en fonction d'une zone superficielle du corps. La combinaison des données peut également servir à analyser le débit cardiaque, la compliance artérielle, et le dp/dt.

Abstract: Fingerprinting and fingerprint detection techniques are described which, unlike typical fingerprint systems used to conceal video signals, are compatible with all conceivable forms of signal compression systems while still allowing viewing of the video signal. The fingerprint technique is based on the principle of applying very slight local spatial distortion to the pixels in a video image, and the like, by means of selected warp patterns. Thus the technique provides means for conveying, within the video signal, selected information in the form of the fingerprint which is detectable electronically but which is not noticeable to a critical viewer who is watching the video signal. That is, the resultant fingerprinted video signal will appear to be identical to the undistorted video signal. The fingerprint detection technique provides for the recovery of the conveyed information which may comprise an instruction to prevent the fingerprinted video image from being copied, messages which allow identifying the source and date of an unauthorized copy of the video image, etc.

Abstract: A mounting (20) which provides superior isolation yet which
eliminates damaging edge-induced shear strain (ENT) buildup in the
elastomer sections (28) and (30) when exposed to high temperatures by
having a first elastomer section (28) loaded in compression and a second
elastomer section (30) loaded in shear. Exposing the mounting (20) to
elevated temperature environments allows the first elastomer section (28) to
expand in height and places the second elastomer section (30) in shear to
accommodate the height change. The instant invention compensates for
fluid and elastomer expansion due to high temperatures by providing a
mechanical type compensator (37) which takes up less space and
eliminates the pressure loss associated with air-charged compensators
(99). Further, a unique combination of fluorinated fluids and polysiloxane
polymer enables the mounting (20) to withstand temperatures of greater
than 200 deg F for extended periods of time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nitrogen oxide detecting element.
Although there has been a demand for effecting detection of a nitrogen oxide
by using a semiconductor type gas sensor, no semiconductor type sensors
have existed which can detect the nitrogen oxide with good selectivity
against other interfering gases (CO, H 2 ) for an extended period of time with
good durability. Then, by causing a gas detecting portion to include an
oxide containing more than a predetermined amount of Bi and maintaining
this gas detecting portion at a temperature range where its electron-conductivity
is exhibited, it has become possible to detect the nitrogen oxide.
