Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant une imagerie couleur améliorée de vaisseaux sanguins et autres tissus du corps d'un patient perfusés à l'aide d'un agent de contraste. Ce procédé consiste en général à introduire au moins un agent de contraste dans le corps, à transmettre dans le corps des impulsions modulées en puissance, à recevoir des échos du corps, à traiter les échos reçus pour réduire des échos générés par le tissu et des échos provenant de l'agent de contraste stationnaire à l'aide d'un processeur couleur permettant de générer un affichage codé par couleurs sensible au mouvement de l'agent de contraste. Ce procédé peut être mis en oeuvre par un système avec une source de signal d'excitation, un transducteur, un système de traitement ultrasonore possédant de multiples processeurs d'images notamment un processeur couleur, ainsi qu'un filtre antiparasites, un arbitre et un système de traitement d'affichage.

Abstract: A method to stereospecifically prepare a steroidal sapogenin or a derivative thereof by reducing a 3-keto,5β-H steroidal sapogenin with a hindered organoborane or an organo-aluminium hydride. A 3β-hydroxy,5β-H steroidal sapogenin or derivative thereof may be prepared by reducing the 3-keto,5β-H steroidal sapogenin using as reducing agent a relatively highly hindered organoborane reagent or by SN 2 inversion of a 3α-hydroxy,5β-H steroidal sapogenin or derivative thereof. The organo-aluminium hydride may be used to prepare a 3α,5β-H steroidal sapogenin or derivative thereof. The invention provides a convenient route to useful steroidal sapogenins such as sarsasapogenin, episarsasapogenin, smilagenin, epismilagenin and esters thereof, from readily available or easily preparable starting materials (e.g. diosgenone, preparable from diosgenin).

Abstract: L'invention concerne le contrôle de la qualité de transmission de trajectoires de transmission dans un réseau à commutation par paquets (IPNET). Selon l'invention, des fonctions directeur et répondeur sont mises en oeuvre dans un serveur de ressources (R-Serv) du réseau à commutation par paquets (IPNET). Pour le contrôle de qualité, une centrale de commutation orientée paquets (P-Vst) établit une liaison entre le serveur de ressources (R-Serv) et au moins une passerelle (MG1, MG2), éventuellement deux passerelles (MG1, MG2). Des signaux de contrôle (pinf) sont émis par le serveur de ressources (R-Serv) et transmis en retour au serveur de ressources (R-Serv) après réflexion sur une ou deux passerelles (MG1, MG2). Les signaux de contrôle (pinf) émis sont évalués en ce qui concerne une baisse de qualité due à la transmission, par ex. distorsion, atténuation, et les résultats de l'évaluation sont combinés pour différentes trajectoires d'émission afin d'extraire des indications concernant la qualité de transmission de trajectoires partielles individuelles. De manière avantageuse, l'invention permet de mettre en oeuvre des fonctions de test complexes et coûteuses sur des serveurs de ressources centralisés (R-Serv). Comme ce type de serveur est généralement prévu dans le réseau à commutation par paquets pour d'autres fonctions, par ex. serveur IVR, la fonction de test selon l'invention peut être mise en oeuvre sur des serveurs existants.

Abstract: A papermaker's fabric, usable in the forming section of a paper machine, has three layers of cross-machine-direction (CD) wefts. The forming layer wefts are grouped into pairs. This twinning of the top-layer wefts results in non-equal spacing in the forming layer. This spacing imparts a desired non-uniformity in the web-supporting surface, thereby reducing the fabric diagonal problem. One of the top-layer wefts in each pair is vertically stacked with the middle and wear side layer wefts. The other top-layer wefts in each pair are unstacked. This alignment increases the drainage properties of the fabric. The middle layer wefts provide extra stability in the CD.
