Abstract: La présente invention concerne un processus de préparation d'une molécule MUC1 de lait de vache, de lactosérum ou de lactosérum déprotéiné. Dans un de ses aspects ce processus consiste à prendre du lactosérum concentré issu de lait de vache, à acidifier ce lactosérum, à séparer les protéines du lactosérum solubles du lactosérum acidifié résultant pour laisser une protéine de membrane et une protéine à faible pI non soluble contenant une fraction contenant la molécule MUC1, puis à séparer cette molécule Muc1 de la fraction la contenant. Dans un autre aspect, cette invention consiste à traiter le lactosérum déprotéiné issu de lait de vache avec une solution solubilisant une protéine de lactosérum, à centrifuger le lactosérum traité pour récupérer une fraction surnageant soluble, à adsorber une protéine sur une protéine PNA lavée dans un tampon, à séparer la protéine PNA du liquide restant et à éluer la molécule MUC1 de cette protéine PNA. Cette molécule MUC1 est pure et peut être lyophilisée.

Abstract: The recent introduction to the general marketplace of 5-liter beer kegs has posed an interesting challenge to the end user. A single individual cannot easily operate the keg. In order to properly operate the unit, the user must be able to secure the unit from sliding backwards as he/she closes the dispensing valve located at the bottom side of the unit. This can be accomplished simply by holding the back of the unit secure with one hand while pushing the valve inward with the other hand. The difficulty with this action is, while closing the valve the unit continues to dispense liquid until the valve is fully closed. A third hand is therefore required to keep a glass under the valve during this closing process to prevent liquid from spilling on the floor. Therefore the invention is a user-friendly device. Therefore making it easier to operate the 5-L beer keg.

Title: Brake drum and method for producing the same
Inventor: NAKAO YASUHIRO
IPC: F16D65/10
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: A brake drum includes a ring-shaped drum body (13), and a friction member (16) secured to the inner circumferential surface (18) of the drum body. Because the drum body is formed of a lightweight A1 alloy and the friction member is formed of an A1-base composite material, the brake drum can be reduced in weight as a whole. Further, because the friction member, having projecting portions (17a) formed on its outer periphery (17), is cast-enveloped by molten metal of the A1 alloy, the friction member and the drum body can be firmly fastened together. Thus, even when a great braking force is applied to the drum brake, the friction member can be prevented from being undesirably detached from the drum body.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant la compression et la décompression de portions de fichiers sonores. Une bibliothèque de formes d'onde de base est produite par application de codes d'initialisation numériques sélectionnés à un système chaotique. Chaque forme d'onde de base est en correspondance biunivoque avec un code d'initialisation. Une somme pondérée des formes d'onde de base sélectionnées est utilisée pour évaluer une section du fichier sonore. Les formes d'onde de base sont ensuite supprimées et seules les facteurs de pondération et les codes d'initialisation correspondants sont stockés dans un fichier sonore compressé. Lorsque le fichier sonore compressé est décompressé aux fins d'une lecture, les codes d'initialisation stockées sont éliminés et appliqués à un système chaotique similaire de manière à régénérer les formes d'onde de base, lesquelles sont recombinées conformément aux facteurs de pondération stockés afin de reproduire la portion d'origine du fichier sonore.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des méthodes et instruments pour réaliser une cannulation, une papillotomie et une sphinctérotomie endoscopiques et d'autres procédures similaires. Selon l'état actuel de la technique, on effectue une cannulation de la voie biliaire principale et une papillotomie endoscopiques et d'autres procédures similaires en avançant un instrument dans un endoscope/duodénoscope, de manière que l'extrémité distale de cet instrument sorte de l'endoscope de façon adjacente aux muscles sphincter au niveau de la papille de Vater. On manipule ensuite les mécanismes de l'endoscope pour orienter l'extrémité distale de l'instrument vers la position souhaitée pour une cannulation appropriée de la voie. En raison des manques d'homogénéité par exemple dans le sphinctérotome, l'anatomie et la manipulation endoscopique, il est difficile de positionner de façon précise et constante le sphinctérotome pour une cannulation appropriée. Le sphinctérotome orientable de la présente invention permet au médecin de régler la position de l'extrémité distale de l'instrument indépendamment de l'endoscope et de l'adapter aux manques d'homogénéité dans l'instrument et l'anatomie. Selon ladite invention, la poignée à laquelle le fil de coupe est attaché est librement rotative par rapport au cathéter. Cette poignée, fixée au fil de coupe mais rotative par rapport au corps du cathéter, comprend un mécanisme conçu pour faire tourner le fil, en transmettant la force de rotation à l'extrémité du dispositif. Lorsque la poignée effectue un mouvement de rotation indépendamment du corps au niveau de l'extrémité proximale, cette force peut être appliquée directement à l'extrémité distale sans tordre l'ensemble du corps. Cette invention concerne également un système de blocage en rotation servant à maintenir l'orientation de l'extrémité et/ou un repère de rotation indiquant le degré de rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to the recycling of worn-out tyres and other industria l and domestic wastes. The method for disintegrating the worn-out tyres consis ts in producing a package of worn-out tyres in the form of compressed layers. T he initial destruction of said package is carried-out in an armoured chamber in  conditions of free extension until a destruction point of the external layer s thereof is reached. The dimensions of the armoured chamber at any section perpendicular to the axis thereof and vary within a range of 2 to 7 times of  diameter of the package in said section. The package of tyres is formed from  several spiral twists which are axially arranged and provided with an axial orifice. Deformation and a state of stress are produced during the free extension of the rubber layer without contacting the walls of the armoured chamber. Said state makes it possible to carry out the effective destruction  and disintegration of the rubber and metallic and textile cord.

Abstract: A self-aligning bracket for use in mounting a planar surface such as a roof to a fixed structure such as a bank of fuel cylinders mounted to the roof of a vehicle frame. The bracket provides a locating block on a saddle mount which co-operates with a depression formed on the inner surface of the roof to align fasteners depending from the roof with a coupling fastener on the bracket. The coupling fastener is laterally moveable within an oversized hole in the bracket and engages the locating block to permit co-rotation. An anchor is attached to an end of the coupling means so that when the roof fastener is actuated in the coupling fastener, the anchor is drawn towards the coupling fastener, tightening the locating block, coupling fastener and anchor to the saddle mount, preventing further lateral movement.
