Abstract: For the rapid and simple releasable connection of two tubes (pipes), preferably of a load-bearing system, the invention proposes a tube clip which has a basic element (2, 8), for example in the form of a section of a circle cross-section, and two pins (3) attached on the inner wall of the basic element. The pins (3) each engage through two mutually aligned through-passage bores in the end regions of the tubes which are to be connected, and the basic element snaps onto the tubes, widening in an elastic manner in doing so. The tube clip can be fastened rapidly without the aid of a tool, sits securely on the tubes, in the tension region of the load-bearing member in the case of a load-bearing system, and can be rapidly and simply removed again without the tube surface being scratched, for which reason the tube clip is also extremely well suited for powder-coated tubes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for separating specific component gas from mixed gas, wherein granular absorbent is held in a sealed space in a layered state, easily adsorptive gas is absorbed to the granular absorbent by blowing the mixed gas into said absorbent layers and contacting said granular absorbent with counter-current of mixed gas, and said granular absorbent is transferred gradually out of said sealed space, and reactivated by desorbing said easily adsorptive gas from said granular absorbent, and said reactivated granular absorbent is returned to the inside of said sealed space to be reused. Therefore, frequent actions of opening and closing valves are unnecessary, so that it is possible to separate and produce excellent product gas with high purity.

Abstract: Une bouteille à chambres multiples (310) comporte une ouverture (315) entourée par une collerette (316) qui présente une surface intérieure sphérique formée pour recevoir un élément creux (320). Ce dernier comprend une ouverture inférieure (325) et une ouverture supérieure (326). L'enveloppe (330) est réglable de manière à solliciter l'élément creux (320) contre la surface intérieure sphérique de la collerette (316), créant ainsi un joint autour de l'ouverture (315). En position fermée, une partie (321) de l'élément creux (320) bloque l'ouverture (315). En position ouverte, l'élément creux (320) se trouve dans une position verticale de telle manière que l'ouverture (315) de la bouteille (310) et l'ouverture inférieure (325) de l'élément creux (320) sont alignées. Un procédé pour mélanger deux substances consiste à disposer une quantité d'une substance dans la bouteille (310), à régler l'élément creux (320) pour bloquer l'ouverture (315) de la bouteille (310), et à disposer une quantité d'une autre substance dans l'élément creux (320). Pour mélanger ces substances, on fait tourner l'élément creux (320) jusque dans sa position ouverte, et on agite l'appareil.

Abstract: On utilise la spectroscopie à modulation radioélectrique d'une source à diodes laser à infrarouge proche afin de déterminer la quantité d'une substance cible dans un échantillon de respiration. Dans ce type de modulation, la sortie laser est modulée pour produire des bandes latérales déplacées à partir d'une porteuse laser par la fréquence de modulation. Le faisceau modulé traverse un échantillon de gaz qui absorbe de manière différentielle les bandes latérales dont le résultat est la conversion de certaine modulation de fréquence laser en modulation d'amplitude qui est détectée ultérieurement à l'aide d'un photo-détecteur à large bande. Dans certains essais, la substance cible est un isotope particulier dont la concentration est mesurée comme un rapport d'isotopes. Afin de mesurer la présence de première et seconde espèces d'isotopes, on prévoit une illumination laser à des longueurs d'ondes caractéristiques pour les lignes d'absorption concernant les premières et seconde espèces d'isotopes de gaz. Ceci peut parfois être réalisé à l'aide d'une diode laser simple et en balayant au moins un de ses paramètres de fonctionnement afin d'obtenir une différence de longueur d'onde. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on utilise des première et seconde diodes laser fonctionnant au niveau des premières et seconde longueurs d'ondes.

Abstract: Une alimentation (50) d'un dispositif radiographique (68) est alimentée par une ligne (52) à courant alternatif triphasé. Un redresseur (54) alimente en courant continu redressé (56) des commutateurs (58, 58') commandés par un microordinateur (70) à travers une interface de commande (62). Les commutateurs (58, 58') envoient la puissance à courant continu à des transformateurs de haute tension (64, 64') qui transmettent une haute tension à des redresseurs de haute tension (66, 66'), qui, à leur tour fournissent au tube radiogène (68) une haute tension positive et une haute tension négative. Le niveau de la puissance de sortie fournie par les redresseurs de haute tension (66, 66') au tube radiogène (68) est commandé par l'interface de commande (62) au moyen de signaux de rétroaction (74, 74', 76, 76') émis par les redresseurs de haute tension (66, 66'), alors que le microprocesseur (70) utilise des signaux émis par un dispositif d'entrée (72). Une relation algorithmique crée une alternance maximale de conditions d'entraînement et de blocage afin d'atteindre le niveau voulu de régulation de puissance.

Abstract: The cDNA which encodes heme-regulated eIF-2 alpha  kinase (HRI) has been cloned from a lambda Zap II cDNA library of rabbit reticulocytes. The rabbit HRI cDNA is highly homologous to human HRI and hybridizes to the human HRI DNA under moderately stringent conditions. The rabbit HRI cDNA contains 2729 amino acids. In vitro translation of HRI mRNA transcribed from HRI cDNA yields a 90 kDa polypeptide with eIF-2 alpha  kinase activity. Since HRI is a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, it is anti-proliferative in nature. In addition, the unusually high degree of homology of HRI to three protein kinases involved in the regulation of cell division suggests that HRI plays a direct role in the regulation of cell division. Since regulation of protein synthesis is vital for cell growth and differentiation, the cDNA can be inserted into cells to manipulate proliferation and differentiation, especially of cells that are proliferating in an uncontrolled manner or characterized by arrested differentiation, such as some of the types of cancers. Deletion mutants of HRI cDNA can be constructed that are insensitive to regulation by heme, which should be more effective than native HRI in its anti-viral and anti-proliferative action.
