Abstract: Dispositif à induction (200) possédant un double noyau comportant un ou plusieurs éléments (210, 211) et un manchon (230) conçu pour être passé au-dessus desdits éléments (210, 211). La fabrication de ce dispositif (200) est considérablement plus économique que les transformateurs de l'état actuel de la technique possédant des caractéristiques analogues. Dans un mode de réalisation, ce dispositif (200) comprend deux noyaux cylindriques (210, 211) constituant un premier entrefer (240) servant à régler l'inductance différentielle de ce dispositif indépendamment de son inductance de mode commun. De même, un deuxième entrefer (235) sert à régler l'inductance de mode commun (fuite) indépendamment de son inductance différentielle. L'indépendance importante des contrôles exercés par ces entrefers (235, 240) permet de fabriquer des dispositifs répondant simultanément à différents ensembles de besoin, par exemple, inductance longitudinale et spécifications signal-trajectoire. L'invention concerne également des procédés servant à fabriquer ce dispositif, ainsi que ses mises en application en tant que filtre de télécommunications et que circuit séparateur.

Title: Method for classifying plant embryos using raman spectroscopy
Inventor: PENTTILA BRIAN
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-06-14
Abstract: A three-step method for classifying plant embryo quality using Raman spectroscopy is provided. First, a classification model is developed based on Raman spectral data of reference samples of plant embryos or any portions of plant embryos of known embryo quality. The embryo quality may be known based on a comparison to a normal zygotic embryo or on actual planting of the embryo to observe its germination and subsequent growth. Then, a data analysis is carried out by applying one or more classification algorithms to the acquired Raman spectral data to develop a classification model. Second, Raman spectral data of a plant embryo or any portion of a plant embr yo of unknown embryo quality are obtained. Third, the classification model develop ed in the first step is applied to the Raman spectral data obtained from the embryo (o r any portions thereof) of unknown quality to classify the quality of this plant embryo. -11-

Title: Method and device for producing and strapping recumbent stacks of printed products
Inventor: GOSSLINGHOFF REINHARD
IPC: B65H33/02
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: The invention relates to horizontal stacks of printed products, which are formed and secured with straps. According to said method, the printed produc ts are fed from above onto a conveyer bed (2) to form a stack (6) of vertically aligned adjacent printed products that continuously grows in the stacking direction (S). Discrete stacks (7) are isolated from said stack, stabilised using end plates (4) and conveyed in the stacking direction into a securing position (12), in which a loop of a securing strap material is stretched around the separated stack (7). The isolated stack (7) is held between two press jaws (10, 11), the latter being inserted into the stack area (16) from a first side of said area. A securing device (30) is located in the securing position (12) on the opposite side of the stacking area (16) to the first side, said device comprising a loop channel (31) with a sealing area (31'). To secure the straps, at least the loop channel (31) with said sealing area (31 ') is displaced horizontally in relation to the stack and transversally to the stacking direction (S), so that the loop channel lies around said stack. The securing strap is then sealed around the stack and the press jaws (10, 11) a nd the secured stack is separated from the press jaws, by the relative displacement of thestack (7) and the press jaws, (10, 11), horizontally and transversally to the stack direction. Two lowerable support elements (14, 15 ) are used to isolate the discrete stack from the growing stack, said elements being configured in such a way that one can be inserted at a point in the stack, at which the other element is already positioned. The end plates (4) are positioned by their introduction from above between two of the support elements (14, 15), or between a support element (15) and a press jaw (11). T he formation of the horizontal stack and the securing of straps on the latter a re characterised by their simplicity and the short cycle time required for the securing process.
