Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un procédé permettant de réduire la densité d'un produit au nitrate d'ammonium. Le procédé repose sur l'utilisation d'un agent générateur de gaz, se présentant sous la forme d'un composé solide insoluble dans l'eau, capable de produire un gaz par réaction chimique. On introduit l'agent générateur de gaz, solide et insoluble dans l'eau, dans le produit au nitrate d'ammonium dans des conditions propices à la production de gaz au sein de ce produit. Ce produit au nitrate d'ammonium est transformé en particules afin de constituer un produit au nitrate d'ammonium particulaire en granulés à densité réduite. L'invention porte également sur un produit au nitrate d'ammonium particulaire produit grâce à ce procédé ainsi que sur l'utilisation d'un agent générateur de gaz, se présentant sous forme de composé solide insoluble dans l'eau, aux fins de la diminution de la densité d'un produit au nitrate d'ammonium particulaire.

Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: Dans cette invention, un système informatisé explore (116) un animal (102) par imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) pour produire des valeurs de pixels numériques représentant les tissu internes. Les valeurs de pixels sont codées en valeurs de gamme de gris représentant la densité du tissu exploré. Le système informatique (104) classe chaque pixel, sur la base de sa valeur de gamme de gris, représentant la graisse (207), le muscle (206), le cartilage (205) ou le tissu squelettique. Une fois classé, le pourcentage de la graisse intramusculaire est calculé et représenté sur l'écran du système informatique. Une fois les données de pixels classées, on définit un périmètre autour du muscle exploré en séparant le tissu musculaire du tissu alentour, on calcule ensuite la surface du muscle et on la présente à l'utilisateur du système. On réalise plusieurs balayages le long d'une dimension de l'animal pour déterminer le volume du muscle. Par ailleurs, ce système classe l'animal avec les animaux de la même race.

Patent CA-2396979-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIRWAN HAVAL
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2001-01-24
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des protéines chimériques comprenant une molécule induisant une apoptose fusionnée avec un élément d'une paire de liaison qui est capable de se lier à une cellule sélectionnée qui exprime le récepteur de mort cellulaire. Lorsque la cellule sélectionnée est exposée in vivo à cette protéine chimérique, la cellule sélectionnée commence une apoptose. Le mode de réalisation préféré est la protéine FasL fusionnée avec la streptavidine. Les techniques d'utilisation des protéines chimériques sont particulièrement profitables du fait qu'elles ont pour effet d'induire une apoptose de lymphocytes activés, modulant ainsi la réponse immunitaire. Les patients qui souffrent d'asthme ou d'allergies, ou les patients qui subissent une transplantation avec des tissus allogènes ou xénogènes sont des exemples de patients qui peuvent tirer profit des techniques de cette invention.

Title: Vehicle front and rear wheels drive system and clutch changeover method
Inventor: MORI ATSUSHI
IPC: B60K17/35
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: Changeover clutch discs for a direct coupling clutch and a change-speed clutch, respectively, are disposed in two stages in a radial direction across a movable element which can move in axial directions of an input shaft.   A carrier and the movable element are brought into meshing engagement with each other such that the movable element does not rotate relative to the carrier. The changeover clutch discs mesh with clutch discs which are disposed on the- input shaft and a casing, respectively. A coned disc spring and an electromagnetic actuator are disposed such that operating directions of the spring and the actuator are opposed to each other. The coned disc spring keeps the direct coupling clutch in a normally engaged condition with its biasing force, and the electromagnetic actuator brings a change-speed clutch into engagement after it has released the engagement of the direct coupling clutch by virtue of its thrust.

Abstract: Pour assurer une régulation d'une pile à combustible, en fonction de sa puissance, il est nécessaire d'avoir recours à des mélanges de combustible présentant un débit défini. Le procédé selon l'invention, servant à produire de tels mélanges, consiste à pomper de l'eau à travers un corps creux qui présente, au moins dans certaines zones, une paroi en matériau poreux, et à introduire du combustible par pompage, à un débit défini, dans la chambre située de l'autre côté de la paroi poreuse. En raison de la différence de pression, le combustible pénètre, sur toute la surface de la paroi poreuse, dans l'écoulement d'eau traversant cette dernière, de l'autre côté de ladite paroi poreuse, et produit un mélange homogène. Dans le dispositif correspondant (10, 20), le corps creux (1, 21) présente, au moins en partie, une paroi poreuse (2, 22). Ce dispositif s'utilise de préférence dans des piles à combustible directes au méthanol (DMFC) dans lesquelles notamment la température et la pression de service peuvent être préallouées.
