Abstract: An electric lamp assembly includes an electrodeless lamp, including an electrodeless lamp envelope, a transformer core disposed in proximity to the lamp envelope and an input winding disposed on the transformer core. The lamp envelope preferably comprises a closed-loop, tubular lamp envelope, and the transformer is preferably disposed around the lamp envelope. The electrodeless lamp envelope encloses a fill material for supporting a low pressure discharge. The electrodeless lamp further includes an amalgam located within the lamp envelope. The input winding receives radio frequency energy which produces a low pressure discharge in the lamp envelope. The electrodeless lamp includes a thermal bridge between the transformer core and the amalgam, so that the amalgam is heated by the transformer core during operation: <IMAGE>

Abstract: A heart rate value determined from a first physiological signal that is acquired independently from a second physiological signal, is used to control a band pass filter for controllably bandpass filtering the second physiological signal. In a system having sensors for independently acquiring both electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse oximetry (SpO2) signals, a heart rate value determined from the ECG signal is used to controllably bandpass filter the red and infrared SpO2 signals, thereby reducing the level of artifact signal in the SpO2 signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The locking mechanism has an adjustable bolt (7) for a sliding door, window or similar with a bolt carrier (4). The carrier has at least one slot (5) to receive the shank (6) of the bolt, which has at least one hook (8a, 8b). The bolt carrier is designed to slide transversely relative to the slot to enable the hook(s) to engage with or disengage from a catch plate on the fixed surround of the door or window. The bolt is made so that it can be moved lengthwise in the slot to adjust its position relative to the catch plate, and it is fixed in position by means of an aperture (21) extending in the same direction as the slot and a locking screw (16) which engages with the edges of the aperture. The bolt can have either one aperture in line with its lengthwise axis or two apertures lying symmetrically relative to the axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to the therapeutic induction of apoptosis in activated inflammatory cells, or cells at a site of inflammation, by introducing into those cells a chimeric gene containing an apoptosis-inducing gene (AIG) driven by a promoter of an inducible gene activated in inflammation and a promoter enhancer such that the inflammatory cells are targeted. In one embodiment, the chimeric gene comprises at least one TNFalpha promoter enhancer attached to a functional copy of a minimal TNFalpha promoter and further attached to at least one copy of an apoptosis-inducing gene, wherein expression of the gene is driven by the TNFalpha promoter. Attachment can be direct, distal, proximal or combinations thereof. Example apoptosis-inducing genes include caspase 3, caspase 4, caspase 5, Granzyme B. Advantageously, the TNFp-AIG chimeric gene is expressed in only those cells producing the inflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha. In addition, the TNFp-AIG chimeric gene also sequesters inducible TNFp transcription factors, thereby reducing endogenous production of TNFalpha. The invention also relates to methods of making and using self-regulated apoptosis chimeric genes and pharmaceutical compositions containing them for treating inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: An appliance is rendered self-cleaning of accumulated organic contaminants on one or more surfaces of the appliance, by coating such surfaces of the appliance with a photocatalytically-activated self-cleaning coating. Upon exposing such coated surfaces to radiation of the appropriate wavelength, for a sufficient interval of time, at least a portion of the organic contaminants present on the photocatalytically-activated self-cleaning coating are removed. The coated surface is thereby cleaned without the need of manual effort or high temperatures. The radiation is generally actinic radiation, and more particularly includes ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: On produit de l'essence à faible teneur en soufre à partir d'un naphta oléfinique de craquage à base de soufre, en réalisant un traitement au-dessus d'un catalyseur acide, de préférence une zéolite de dimension des pores intermédiaire, telle que ZSM-5, pour craquer des paraffines et des oléfines à faible indice d'octane dans des conditions tempérées avec une aromatisation limitée des oléfines et des naphtènes. Une charge d'alimentation mixte à forte teneur en benzène est traitée conjointement avec le naphta pour réduire par alkylation les taux de benzène dans la charge d'alimentation mixte. Cette étape de traitement initial est suivie d'une hydrodésulfuration au-dessus d'un catalyseur d'hydrotraitement tel que CoMo sur de l'alumine. Outre le processus de réduction des taux de benzène dans la charge d'alimentation mixte, le traitement initial au-dessus du catalyseur acide élimine les oléfines (qui seraient autrement saturées pendant l'hydrodésulfuration) en consommant l'hydrogène et en abaissant l'indice d'octane, puis les transforme en composés apportant une contribution positive à l'octane. On obtient une production totale de liquide élevée, généralement de l'ordre de 90 % au moins, voire plus. La production d'aromates est généralement accrue d'au plus 25 % en poids relativement à la charge d'alimentation mixte, et peut être inférieure à la charge d'alimentation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape d'injection de carburant pour moteurs à combustion interne, dans laquelle la commande de l'obturateur se fait par commande de la pression d'une chambre de commande (25). Celle-ci est soit soumise à une détente, soit soumise à une pression élevée par une soupape de commande (31) qui met en position de fermeture l'obturateur de la soupape d'injection de carburant. En même temps que la détente de la pression de la chambre de commande, un obturateur (33) d'une soupape de sécurité (32) commandant l'amenée de carburant à la soupape d'injection de carburant est ouvert de sorte que, lors de l'ouverture de la soupape d'injection de carburant, du carburant sous haute pression puisse simultanément également parvenir aux ouvertures d'injection (8) de la soupape d'injection de carburant (1), par l'intermédiaire d'une conduite sous pression (12) et à partir d'un réservoir à carburant sous haute pression (14). Lorsque l'injection est terminée, ledit obturateur (33) est refermé pendant que se fait la fermeture de l'obturateur de soupape d'injection de carburant (5). On évite ainsi qu'en cas de défaillance, du carburant soit, de façon intempestive, injecté pendant une longue période, et qu'ainsi, éventuellement, le moteur à combustion interne utilisé soit perturbé par un surdosage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for removing and breaking out coatings or areas of undersurfaces, for example surface- and edge-milling for reprocessing gutters, moulds, ladles, Bessemer converters and slag-collecting vessels, for cleaning electric furnaces and for removing contaminated waste and contaminated coatings in asbestos cleaning. Axially parallel drums (9) which rotate in opposite directions and are each driven directly by a hydraulic drive mechanism (21) are used. The chippers (13) of said drums (9), which rotate with them, engage one after the other on a helical line (E-E; F-F), slightly laterally offset. As the individual drums rotate in opposite directions they are both subjected to a controlled rotational movement in one direction, about a single, parallel axis (D-D) Said axis is parallel to the axes of rotation of the individual drums. The chippers (13) are distributed in such a way on the helixes, which extend in opposite directions, that no axial power components come into play upon engagement. The drive shaft (20) and the axis of rotation of the hydraulic axle are aligned. The additional unidirectional rotational movement is produced by a hydraulic pivot device which is integrated into the milling head. Said milling head has a rail with which it is fixed to the receptacle of a telescopic arm.
