Patent EP-0902412-A1 (EP)
Inventor: AWATA YOSHIMASA
IPC: G09G3/288
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: The plasma display device (1) has first and second
drive circuits (DR1,DR3;DR2,DR4) for applying a drive
voltage to first and second display electrode pairs
(a 1 ,a 3 ;a 2 ,a 4 ). Further, a direction of a charge
current flowing at said first display electrode pair when
said drive voltage is applied by said first drive circuit
is opposite on said plasma display panel to a direction
of a charge current flowing at said second display electrode
pair when said drive voltage is applied by said
second drive circuit. According to the present invention,
a transitional charge/discharge current, which is
generated upon the application of a drive voltage to one
of the display electrodes, and a light emission discharge
current flow in opposite directions on the panel. Thus,
electromagnetic waves that are generated by the inductances
of the display electrode pair cancel each other
out. In addition, the currents flowing in opposing
directions cancel each other out on the common ground
wirings which are connected to the ground wirings (GND) of the
drive circuits, and electromagnetic wave is reduced.

Abstract: A system for authenticating bank notes by checking
for raised print (37) produced by an intaglio printing
process which only occurs on genuine bank notes. Each
note (36) is individually transported past a pair of
brushes (38) whose bristles are in contact with the two
faces of the note. Microphones (28) are placed in close
proximity to the brush means to sense the noise from the
brush means which increases when there is raised print.
Output from the microphones are digitized and applied to
a data processing means (22) which determines whether the
note contains raised printing, and hence whether the note
is genuine or not, by generating a value based on the
digitized outputs of the microphones (28) and comparing
this value with stored values.

Abstract: In the present invention, a cordless inductively coupled electrosurgical instrument is adapted to receive electrosurgical energy from a specially designed trocar or trocar adapter. In one embodiment of the present invention, an electrosurgical instrument includes a handle, an elongated tube and an electrosurgical end effector. The handle may include an actuator such as a trigger which is operatively connected to the end effector through the elongated tube. The elongated tube may be, for example, a closure tube which is adapted to close the end effector when the handle actuator is moved. The electrosurgical end effector is adapted to apply electrosurgical energy to biological tissue in order to effect treatment of the tissue. The elongated closure tube includes one or more inductor coils adapted to couple electrosurgical energy to the end effector. The one or more inductor coils are electrically connected to the end effector through one or more electrical conductors.

Abstract: The heat exchanger system is used with a heater with a circulating fluidised bed. Fluid flows in through a first heat exchanger (ET1) which is followed by a second heat exchanger (ET2). The fluid approaching the first heat exchanger is split into four streams, one of which enters the heat exchanger and three of which bypass the first heat exchanger and go to the second heat exchanger. The output from the first heat exchanger is divided into three, with each branch joining one of the bypass branches. The three united flows go to separate headers (A1-3) for separate tube bundles (F1-3) inside the second heat exchanger. All the tube bundles discharge into a common header (BS) leading to a common outlet. The fluidised particulate material enters the heat-exchanger through a first conduit (2E), flows past the tube bundles and leaves via a second, diametrically-opposed conduit, (2S).

Abstract: Cette invention constitue un perfectionnement d'un procédé d'obtention de polynucléotides dont des séquences se différencient d'une population d'ADN ou d'ADN complémentaire à l'autre. Les perfectionnements portent notamment sur la réduction du nombre de cycles d'amplification, le recours à une opération de digestion des nucléases avant l'amplification, un nouvel adaptateur oligonucléotide permettant la mise en oeuvre du procédé perfectionné, et enfin de nouveaux procédés d'amplification sélective des fragments uniques voulus avec dégradation sélective des fragments contenant des séquences communes aux deux populations. Les fragments d'une population échantillon sont amplifiés en utilisant une amorce qui confère aux produits d'amplification une résistance à la dégradation des nucléases. Puis les fragments d'une population témoin sont amplifiés en utilisant une amorce qui cible les produits d'amplification en vue d'une dégradation préférentielle. On a recours à plusieurs cycles d'hybridation, de traitement des nucléases et d'amplification jusqu'à obtenir un enrichissement des fragments spécifique de la population échantillon.
