Abstract: La présente invention permet d'améliorer le montage d'un tube cathodique (22) dans un quadrant (11). Le tube cathodique comporte un cadre unitaire en gomme laque (30, 40, 50, 60) présentant des saillies de montage (32, 42, 52, 62, 82, 132) faisant partie intégrante dudit cadre, disposées soit dans les coins, soit en-dehors des coins du cadre. Les saillies de montage comportent des parties coniques (37, 38, 86, 137) allant dans le sens de la profondeur et permettant à un tube pourvu dudit cadre en gomme laque d'être simplement abaissé dans un quadrant présentant des évidements (13) destinés à recevoir les saillies et conçus de manière à épouser la forme de ces dernières. Les saillies coniques et les évidements complémentaires logeant lesdites saillies permettent l'auto-alignement du tube avant qu'il soit fixé au quadrant.

Abstract: The present invention provides means and methods for at least a partial prevention of cellular damage in disease resulting from hypoxia/ischemia (H/I)-related inflammation, preferably due to occlusion of blood vessels. Administration of IFN type-I before, around or after the time of lifting of the ischemia results in improved survival of cells downstream of the occluded blood vessel, presumable because the H/I-related inflammation is attenuated. Treatment results in less damage, better recovery and/or improved repair of the affected tissue.
Patent EP-1384091-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BUTLER ANDREW
IPC: G01V8/20
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: A tool (802) is employed in conjunction with alignment, depth, and level detectors. The tool (802) can use all or some of these detectors. The alignment detector (804) provides an orthogonal laser line grid (806) on an incident surface when the detector has a predefined relationship with the surface. The depth detector (812) emits two sets of parallel laser planes that converge with each other. When the laser planes impact on an incident surface two sets of lines (801, 803, 805, 807) are formed. The laser lines (801, 803) from one laser plane set move closer to the lines (805, 807) from the other laser plane set as the depth detector (812) moves closer to the surface - showing changes in depth or distance. The level detector employs two converging laser planes. An operator positions the level detector above an incident surface, so the laser planes' line of intersection appears on the surface if the surface is level. If the surface is not level, lines separate from each laser plane appear on the surface - signaling the need for a level adjustment. Some versions of the tool have the ability to detect their own orientation and make adjustments based on the orientation. Example tools include nail guns, jigsaws, circular saws, routers, and drills.

Inventor: MINOVITCH MICHAEL ANDREW
IPC: F25B1/00
Filed: 2003-05-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for generating an artificial heat sink below ambient temperature
for a cryogenic condenser by isothermally magnetizing a paramagnetic fluid and removing the
magnetic field thereby creating a temperature drop in the fluid by the magentocaloric effect. The heat
of magnetization is converted into mechanical work by initially placing the fluid (10) inside a sealed
chamber (12) with a door that opens to a conduit (14) leading into the bore of a superconducting solenoid (18).
When the solenoid (18) is energized with current, it creates a strong axial magnetic (20) field that exerts
magnetic attractive forces on the fluid (10) inside the chamber (12). When the fluid (10) is released by opening the
door, it is accelerated through the conduit (14) toward the superconducting solenoid (18) where it becomes
magnetized by the increasing strength of the magnetic field (20). By mounting a non-magnetic turbine
inside the conduit (14) between the solenoid (18) and the chamber (12), the kinetic energy of the accelerating flow
stream, which is equal to the heat of magnetization, is converted into mechanical work thereby
achieving isothermal magnetization. By removing the magnetic field after the fluid enters the bore of
the solenoid, a temperature reduction is achieved thereby enabling the fluid to absorb heat in a
cryogenic condenser.
