Abstract: L'invention porte sur un élément (10) d'insertion pour talon de chaussure assurant un très bon amortissement des chocs, la restitution d'énergie, et un niveau élevé de stabilité. L'élément (10) d'insertion consiste en un mécanisme (10) élastique extérieur ayant sensiblement la forme du talon, servant de logement à des ressorts intérieurs et présentant une série d'alvéoles moulées intérieurement (10f) où s'engagent des ressorts de compression verticaux (14) retenus et comprimés par le mécanisme élastique extérieur (10). La totalité de l'unité, remplie d'un gaz sous pression, est hermétiquement close par du polyuréthane (12) transparent et durable enrobant totalement le dispositif et permettant aux ressorts intérieurs (14) d'être visibles et fonctionnels. L'unité une fois assemblée peut se monter dans la partie talon moulée de la semelle centrale (4) de tout type de chaussure. Les ressorts intérieurs (14) se trouvent directement sous le calcanéum de l'utilisateur, et du fait de la nature transparente de l'enrobage (12) des dispositifs, il est possible de mouler la partie arrière de la semelle centrale (4) de manière à ce que le système puisse être partiellement exposé.

Abstract: Composition absorbante constituée d'une matière acide et d'une matière basique, cette composition absorbante se caractérisant par des propriétés absorbantes désirables. De manière plus spécifique,  cette invention concerne une composition absorbante comprenant soit un polymère acide insoluble dans l'eau et gonflant dans l'eau dont la valeur pKa se situe entre environ 2 et environ 12 soit un polymère basique insoluble dans l'eau et gonflant dans l'eau dont la valeur pKb se situe entre environ 2 et environ 12, et une deuxième matière soit basique soit acide. Cette composition absorbante est capable d'absorber lentement une grande quantité de liquide particulièrement lorsqu'elle est soumise à une pression extérieure; elle est utile dans des produits absorbants jetables tels que ceux qu'on utilise pour absorber des liquides corporels.

Abstract: (Problem) To conduct dust collection in vacuum/reduced
pressure refining treatment, using a low cost filter
without causing the filter to damage, burn, etc. 
     (Solving Means) Vacuum/reduced pressure refining vessel 1
is connected to dry type dust collector 3 using filter 2
by upstream duct 5, and dry type duct collector 3 is
connected to reduced pressure evacuating apparatus 4 by
downstream duct 6 and block valve 7 is provided in
upstream duct 5. At the start of vacuum/reduced pressure
refining treatment, a non-oxidizing gas is injected into
the upstream duct upstream of block valve 7 to
substantially replace the oxygen in the upstream duct and
then hermetically close the upstream duct. After the
hermetically closed state has been established in the
upstream duct, block valve 7 is opened and dust collector
3 is started to operate. At the end of vacuum/reduced
pressure refining treatment, block valve 7 is closed and
only the non-oxidizing gas is injected into the upstream
duct to return the pressure and then the upstream duct is
made open to the atmospheric air, and preferably an open
port siding with dust collector 3 is closed in a waiting
period from the end of vacuum/reduced pressure refining
treatment to the start of next vacuum/reduced pressure
refining treatment.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode permettant d'introduire un matériel étranger dans des cellules qui se trouvent dans un état non adhérent. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la méthode fait appel à une aiguille à micro-injection et à une molécule ou un dispositif adhésif capable d'immobiliser les cellules à l'état non adhérent sur un substrat ou une autre surface permettant la fixation des cellules, de façon que le matériel désiré, tel que l'acide nucléique, puisse être introduit dans la cellule. Les cellules non adhérentes peuvent être génétiquement modifiées par micro-injection de séquences d'acide nucléique (ADN) ayant une taille suffisante pour permettre l'introduction directe dudit acide nucléique dans l'ADN chromosomique de la cellule, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser des rétrovirus, des adénovirus ou une autre molécule support. L'invention concerne donc également une méthode de thérapie génique, dans la mesure où elle permet de produire des cellules modifiées selon la méthode définie ici, notamment des cellules indifférenciées telles que des cellules souches, qui possèdent un gène ou un fragment de gène suffisant pour compenser un manque ou corriger une anomalie ou une déficience de la cellule, et de les injecter chez un patient. L'acide nucléique corrigé donne naissance à des espèces cellulaires différenciées génétiquement corrigées, ce qui est une approche utile pour traiter de nombreux troubles physiologiques.

Abstract: The liquid transfer system includes a liquid supply tank and at least two pressurizable liquid holding vessels. The liquid holding vessels are placed beneath the supply tank, and a liquid supply line connects the supply tank to each vessel. The liquid supply line is operated as a siphon from the tank to each vessel, in order to move liquid from the tank to each vessel. Each vessel is alternately filled and pressurized to dispense liquid from the vessel, such that one vessel is being filled while the other is dispensing liquid, and a constant controllable liquid output flow is achieved. A preferred embodiment includes a liquid recycling line to recycle or constantly move the liquid within the system to achieve thorough mixing, and an in-line filter to improve liquid purity.

Abstract: A task of the present invention is to provide a handy type crimp connecting jig
in which no variations are caused by every worker with respect to whether or not a
distance between the electric wire and the connector terminal is maintained at a
predetermined crimp connecting height. In a pair of operation levers there are
respectively provided a crimp connecting blade and a hollow into which a connector
housing is temporarily attached. There is provided a ratchet mechanism operated in
such a manner that when a connector housing, in which an electric wire is temporarily
attached to a terminal, is provided in the hollow and the crimp connecting blade and
the hollow are made to come close to each other, the operation levers are not returned
by the action of the ratchet mechanism until a distance between the terminal and the
electric wire exceeds a predetermined value which satisfies a predetermined crimp
connecting height, even if the operation levers are released from a holding state.
When a worker holds the operation levers while the release position of the ratchet
mechanism is used as a guide, it is possible to maintain a predetermined crimp
connecting height from the terminal to the electric wire.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium stores sequences of instructions to be executed by a processor. These instructions cause the processor to perform the following steps to enhance 3-D localization of a speech source. A digital speech signal is received. The maximum frequency of the digital speech signal is determined. The sampling rate of the digital speech signal is increased. Next, wide-band Gaussian noise is added to the digital speech signal to create a wide-band digital speech signal with higher frequencies. Finally, the wide-band digital speech signal can be localized via an FIR (finite impulse response) filter.
