Patent EP-0357846-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SPARKS SAM L
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1988-09-05
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for maintaining urinary contin­ence in normally incontinent individuals. The present invention involves the non-surgical implantation of a bolus of ferromagnetic material into the bladder. The bolus of ferromagnetic material may comprise a biocompatible membrane, containing a ferromagnetic material. The bolus (10) will normally rest at the juncture between the bladder (14) and the urethra (12) and will prevent the flow of urine from the bladder into the urethra. Essentially, the bolus serves as a seal between the urethra and the bladder. When it is desired to void the bladder, the ferromagnetic bolus is moved out of the intersection between the bladder and the urethra by positioning a magnet along the external surface of the person's body and manipulating the magnet until the desired movement of the bolus is accomplished. Movement of the magnet is sufficient to displace the bolus such that flow may be initiated from the bladder into the urethra.

Abstract: There is provided a process for screening an agent in order to determine whether such agent increases the frequency of genome rearrangement in living matter. 
     In the first step of this process, there is provided a viable species of  Saccharomyces cerevisiae  yeast which comprises repeated genetic elements in its haploid genome. These repeated genetic elements are selected from the group consisting of functional and non-functional genetic elements; and these elements are sufficiently homologous so that, under ambient conditions, they recombine with each other and give rise to an identifiable genome rearrangement which is a deletion. 
     In the second step of this process, the viable species of yeast is exposed to the agent to be tested. Thereafter, it is plated onto a growth medium which, after the exposed yeast species grows upon it, facilitates the identification of those yeast which have undergone said genome rearrangment. 
     In the last step of the process, the extent to which the exposed species of yeast has undergone genome arrangement is determined. 
     Also described is a the viable yeast strain used in said process, the plasmid used to construct said strain, and a process for constructing said strain.

Abstract: Pour le mouvement de va-et-vient des fils, on emploie des dispositifs d'ensouplage croisé à guide-fil droit (1). Le guide-fil est soumis à un mouvement de va-et-vient par l'action d'un entraînement linéaire. Dans les régions d'inversion de la course, le guide-fil doit normalement être découplé de l'entraînement linéaire et il est nécessaire d'annuler son énergie cinétique et d'appliquer l'énergie à fournir pour le mouvement de retour. Pour éviter l'annulation de l'énergie et le désaccouplement, le guide-fil est relié à l'entraînement linéaire par un élément de couplage qui est guidé dans les régions d'inversion de la course entre deux guides de renvoi (8, 9) et entraîné avec la vitesse d'ensouplage. L'élément de couplage (10) peut être linéaire et plus court que le double de la plus petite course de l'ensouple. L'élément de couplage comporte un coulisseau (14) qui se déplace dans la coulisse (13). L'élément de couplage peut comporter un galet (23) mis en mouvement par une surface d'entraînement tournante dans les régions d'inversion de la course.

Abstract: A BiCMOS voltage reference generator circuit generates and maintains a reference voltage within 3 mV over an 80°C temperature range and over a 1 volt change in power supply level. The circuit uses feedback from the output of the reference voltage generator to the current source supplying current to the voltage reference generator. This feedback increases the effective output impedance of the current source, making the reference voltage output substantially independent of power supply variations. The circuit operates with power supply differential as low as about 3 volts, and preferably is fabricated from bipolar transistors and MOS transistors on the same chip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a generator capable of producing an analog signal of specified wave-form from a sequence of digital control words applied at very high frequency, each word representing an increment of analog signal to be produced on output. 
<??>For this type of generator, the precision in the value of the increment is an important parameter. If several increments of different value are generated as a function of the value of the control word, their ratio must be very precise. The circuit described has switched capacitances; it includes several input capacitors (C1, C2, C3) which are theoretically identical. In order to take account of technical variability, a prior procedure is established for choosing the input capacitor most appropriate for establishing a precise ratio between the increments (+V, +3V, -V, -3V) which may be produced on output. This procedure consists in comparing the capacitors in pairs in order to classify them and choose the middle capacitor. The comparison is made using the main amplifier of the switched capacitance circuit.
