Patent EP-1009851-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HUGHES GRAHAM J
IPC: G01N27/327
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Cette invention concerne une bandelette de capteur électrochimique. Dans une bandelette de capteur à plusieurs électrodes, l'équilibrage des surfaces non actives ainsi que des surfaces actives d'électrodes améliore la précision et l'exactitude globale des mesures effectuées à l'aide de la bandelette de capteur. L'effet bénéfique de l'équilibrage des surfaces est plus prononcé avec des concentrations de glucose relativement faibles. Dans cette invention, l'exactitude et la reproductibilité de l'équilibrage des surfaces d'électrodes est améliorée du fait qu'on évite le chevauchement entre les électrodes et un revêtement diélectrique qui définit une surface d'exposition de l'électrode.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des dérivés du conopeptide MII, peptide de conotoxine d'α-4/7, dans lequel des résidus aminoacides sont substitués, selon l'invention, tout en conservant l'activité de base de MII. Elle concerne également la découverte de la structure tridimensionnelle de MII et le rapport entre sa structure et sa spécificité pour le sous-type α3β2 du récepteur neural d'acétylcholine nicotinique (nAChR). Elle concerne également des programmes informatisés servant à l'expression de la structure tridimensionnelle de MII et de ses analogues peptidiques, ses mimétiques peptidiques ou non peptidiques. On peut mettre en corrélation les caractéristiques structurales avec l'activité biologique afin de pouvoir élaborer des analogues et des mimétiques de peptide de conotoxine α-4/7 qui montrent la même spécificité pour nAChR neural. Ces analogues et ces mimétiques sont utiles en tant qu'agents cardio-vasculaires et servent également à traiter ou à détecter le carcinome pulmonaire à petites cellules (SCLC).

Abstract: Two pump signals with two different wavelengths (μB, μR) are fed via a coupler into the transmission segment (SLWR). The first wavelength (μB) is shorter than the smallest wavelength (μMI) of the optical signal (OS) and the second wavelength (μR) is larger than the largest wavelength (μMA) of the optical signal (OS). The optical receiving signal (OSE) is weakened with the pump power of the second pump signal (PS2). While the first pump signal (PS1) increases once again the signal level, tilting occurs. Different tiltings with adjustable attenuation or amplification values can be thus carried out.

Abstract: The building structure is formed by concrete monocoque modules (1), which can be assembled together in a variety of configurations. The base of each module has a unit (2) to absorb and disperse vibrations.   The building structure is formed by concrete monocoque modules (1), which can be assembled together in a variety of configurations. The base of each module has a unit (2) to absorb and disperse vibrations. The vibration absorber/disperser (2) has a coupling (3) between two monocoque modules, over each other, within the mounting (4) at the lower surface of the upper module and the upper surface of the lower module. The coupling (3) is an elastomer stud, with a conical center and a number of peripheral and cylindrical hollows, with their axes parallel to the coupling axis. The coupling has pref. eight hollows, symmetrically round the axis. The stud has a central opening, as a passage for a bolt or shaft to lock adjacent modules together, with functional play between the stud and the locking bolt/shaft. The central opening is surrounded by a larger diameter opening, to prevent concrete rupture on a twist of the bolt. The vibration absorber/disperser (2) can be an elastomer stud, of variable density, within a circular and metal chamber. It has a rim base, with hollows, with a smaller diameter than the metal chamber. The metal chamber is welded to a metal plate, which rests on a hard rubber plate. The assembly is secured to the foundation (30) by an anchor, or the metal chamber floats. The upper section of the elastomer stud can be held in a circular metal chamber, welded to a larger metal chamber. The assembly of two metal chambers is locked to the reinforced concrete upper surface of the module through the metal reinforcements welded over the metal chamber.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif médical escamotable (10), à usage unique, pour distribuer des fluides à partir d'un flacon indépendant (30). Un mécanisme de rétraction (20) comportant un support d'aiguille (22) chargé par ressort avec une aiguille (28) à double extrémité est fixé devant le corps au moyen d'une bague de poussée (40) montée en vue de son coulissement sur une partie élargie du support d'aiguille. Un bord extérieur de la bague de poussée se fixe sur, ou est maintenue, par la surface de paroi intérieure du corps pour maintenir le support d'aiguille en place. Un flacon positionné dans une ouverture ménagée dans l'arrière du corps vient progressivement se loger dans un piston-plongeur qui entraîne un piston séparable en deux parties pour décharger le médicament à partir du flacon dans l'aiguille. Au niveau de l'extrémité d'une injection, le piston plongeur est encore abaissé pour retirer la bague de poussée en coopération avec le flacon, ce qui libère le support d'aiguille en vue de sa rétraction par l'ouverture frontale du flacon. Lors de la rétraction de l'aiguille dans le corps à partir d'une extrémité, le bord du bouchon repose- pouce du piston plongeur disparaît dans une ouverture au niveau de l'extrémité opposée du corps. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention comporte une bague repose-pouce à la place d'un bouchon repose-pouce. L'autre version comporte une bague de poussée en forme de disque avec des bords inclinés vers l'avant, qui tendent à se rapprocher du corps lorsqu'ils sont poussés à partir du centre, par l'avant du flacon. Le bord de la bague de poussée est aisément relâché par une partie de paroi extérieure du piston plongeur qui débloque les bords incurvés à partir d'une structure d'arrêt sur la paroi intérieure du corps tandis que le piston est déplacé vers l'avant pour se rétracter une fois l'injection terminée.
