Abstract: Ensemble siège pour un véhicule qui comporte une partie fond et un dossier connecté pivotant à la partie fond par un mécanisme d'inclinaison destiné à faire pivoter le dossier entre une position parmi une pluralité de positions inclinées pour un passager assis et une position penchée vers l'avant. L'ensemble siège comporte un ensemble rails de guidage constitué de deux rails supérieurs espacés et parallèles montés sur la partie fond et deux rails inférieurs espacés et parallèles montés sur le plancher du véhicule. Les rails supérieurs sont couplés coulissants aux rails inférieurs pour permettre un mouvement de coulissement pas à pas vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière de l'ensemble siège par rapport au plancher du véhicule entre une position avant extrême et une position arrière extrême définissant une plage de positions confortables pour un passager assis. Un mécanisme de blocage est couplé opérationnel aux rails inférieurs et supérieurs pour effectuer un mouvement entre une position bloquée bloquant les rails les uns aux autres et une position libérée permettant le mouvement de coulissement des rails entre eux. Une plaque à fonction de came est couplée pivotante à l'un des rails supérieurs pour effectuer un mouvement entre une position de non-actionnement espacée du mécanisme de blocage et une position d'actionnement dans laquelle elle se trouve en contact avec le mécanisme de blocage pour maintenir ce dernier dans la position libérée en réponse au mouvement de pivotement du dossier de la position inclinée pour passager assis à la position penchée en avant. Un bras de déclenchement se bloque avec la plaque à fonction de came dans la position d'actionnement pour maintenir ladite plaque dans sa position d'actionnement et donc le mécanisme de blocage dans la position libérée et pour permettre le mouvement de coulissement de l'ensemble siège vers une position d'extension maximale vers l'avant se trouvant au-delà de la position avant extrême pour passager assis. Une languette de déclenchement vient en contact avec le bras de déclenchement lorsque le siège est ramené de la position d'extension maximale vers l'avant à la position arrière extrême pour libérer la plaque à fonction de came et lui permettre de reprendre sa position de non-actionnement et permettre au mécanisme de blocage de revenir dans la position de blocage dans laquelle il bloque ensemble les rails supérieurs et inférieurs et empêche un mouvement de coulissement des rails entre eux.

Abstract: Cette invention a pour but d'éliminer les effets de décalages de fréquence entre deux émetteurs récepteurs par adaptation des fréquences utilisées lors de la transmission. Elle porte sur des procédés permettant de corriger le fréquence de porteuse et d'échantillonner la fréquence lors de la transmission, incluant des mises en oeuvre numériques et analogiques de ces procédés. Le récepteur détermine le décalage relatif de fréquence entre l'émetteur et le récepteur; il utilise ensuite cette information pour corriger ce décalage lorsque le récepteur transmet des données à l'émetteur d'origine dans la voie retour, de sorte que le signal reçu par l'émetteur d'origine est en échantillonnage et que la fréquence de porteuse est bloquée par la référence de fréquence locale de l'émetteur d'origine.

Abstract: System and method for monitoring the applications of the brakes, e.g. of an aircraft to determine brake condition and operate a brake maintenance programme or charge a brake system user. It is desirable to have accurate information for determining the condition and predicting the life of carbon-carbon brake discs. This is important for safety as well as commercial reasons. The number of landings of an aircraft is often used as a determinant for such as lifetime warranties for brake discs and recommended maintenance periods. However, at least for carbon disc brakes, this may not be entirely accurate. For example such brake discs also wear during taxiing. The system and method herein includes monitoring each actuation of the brakes and making a separate record of each actuation of the brakes in which there is relative movement of the facing friction surfaces that cause wear, and from that separate record determining brake usage. The monitoring may include measuring changes and processing the signals to distinguish between those which fall below and those which are above a threshold value. Herein there is also described, a method and apparatus for monitoring a braking system comprising sensing a plurality of braking parameters having values dependent upon wear in the system and different faults of the system, and identifying and recording wear and faults based on combinations of values of said parameters.

Title: Method for protecting cells and tissues from ionizing radiation toxicity with .alpha.,.beta. unsaturated aryl sulfones
Inventor: REDDY PREMKUMAR E
IPC: A61P39/00
Filed: 2002-02-28
Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: Pre-treatment with .alpha., .beta. unsaturated aryl sulfones protects normal cells from the toxic side effects of ionizing radiation. Administration of a radioprotective .alpha., .beta. unsaturated aryl sulfone compound to a patient prior to anticancer radiotherapy reduces the cytotoxic side effects of the radiation on normal cells. The radioprotective effect of the .alpha., .beta.  unsaturated aryl sulfone allows the clinician to safely increase the dosage of anticancer radiation. In some instances, amelioration of toxicity following inadvertent radiation exposure may be mitigated with administration of .alpha., .beta. unsatured arylsulfone.

Abstract: An automatic priming system for internal combustion engines, which is operable at engine cranking speeds and which is automatically disabled at engine running speeds. The automatic priming system is driven by pressure fluctuations within the engine crankcase which are caused by reciprocation of the piston. At engine cranking speeds, fluid communication between the engine crankcase and a chamber is substantially equalized, such that positive pressure pulses from the crankcase air space pass from the chamber through a check valve to the carburetor for priming. At engine running speeds, communication between the crankcase air space and the chamber is restricted such that the pressure within the chamber is below atmospheric, positive pressure pulses are not present within the chamber, and the priming function is automatically disabled.
