Patent EP-1214586-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CLARK LELAND C JR
IPC: C12N9/04
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: The sensitivity of enzyme-based polarographic electrodes to oxygen concentration can be significantly reduced or eliminated by providing an oxygen-reservoir in intimate contact with the oxidative enzyme. This is achieved by making a stabilized emulsion between the enzyme and a compound in which oxygen is extremely soluble. An aqueous glucose oxidase solution is emulsified with a perfluorocarbon liquid, and the resulting emulsion is stabilized by chemically crosslinking the mixture to form a gel. Thin layers of the emulsion are fabricated by spreading a layer of the liquid emulsion before gelation occurs. Additional carrier proteins such as albumin may be added to the enzyme prior to crosslinking to protect enzymatic activity and enhance gel strength. Additional electron transport compounds may be added to further reduce sensitivity to oxygen concentration.

Title: Filtre nasal respiratoire
Inventor: ALPEROVICH VLADIMIR
IPC: A62B23/06
Filed: 2000-12-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de protection des organes respiratoires humains contre la poussière, notamment des particules, et plus particulièrement des particules porteuses d'allergènes. Ce dispositif peut servir, entre autres, de filtre nasal et de filtre installé dans les systèmes de respiration assistée. Ce dispositif comprend un corps creux présentant un ou plusieurs passages d'entrée et un orifice de sortie permettant la passage d'air inhalé dans la surface interne du corps adoptant la forme d'un cône tronqué. Ces passages d'entrée sont pour la plupart obtenus à partir d'un cône dont le sens de l'axe des passages est le résultat d'une composante tangentielle et d'une composante axiale, tandis que l'orifice de sortie est le sommet (petite base) du cône. La surface interne du corps est recouverte d'une substance adhésive susceptible de retenir la poussière et les particules allergènes contenues dans l'air inspiré. Le nettoyage de l'air inspiré a lieu dans la chambre à tourbillon du filtre présentant un corps conique tronqué. L'air pénétrant dans le cône tourbillonne en raison de la configuration et du sens des passages d'entrée. Les particules de poussières, quant à elles, suivent des mouvements spiralés, sont déplacées vers les parois du corps du filtre sous l'effet des forces centrifuges, heurtent lesdites parois et sont déposées sur la substance adhésive qui recouvre le corps du filtre entier. Le filtre est conçu de manière à ne pas présenter de résistance importante lors de l'inspiration et l'expiration.

Abstract: A power transistor (1) is mounted on a metallic power
supply terminal (40) within an intake pipe (20), individually
and separately from an electronic circuit board (7) on which
other electronic circuit element are mounted. This power
supply terminal (40) acts as a terminal for electric power
input and its one portion is exposed within the gas path of
the intake pipe (20). The heat-generation of the power
transistor (1) is effectively heat-generated by the metallic
terminal (40) without giving a remarkable effect to the other
circuit elements. With this, it is possible to reduce any
heat effect to the other electronic circuit components due to
the self heat-generation of the power transistor (1) without
the additional number of parts and to effectuate the gas flow
rate measuring apparatus of which measuring accuracy and
reliability are high.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques are as shown below. The
subject of the invention is to provide a crypto-processing
method capable to confront an attack, which intentionally
causes an erroneous operation and takes out secret
information to be done against a device which performs a
crypto-processing inside the device such as an IC card. 
     The solution means for such an attack is shown
below. A ciphertext C is received through the I/O port on
an IC card, etc. (step 601), the ciphertext C is stored on
a RAM (step 602), a decryption process of the ciphertext C
is performed (step 603), and the processing result Z is
stored on a RAM (step 604). For the processing result Z,
an encryption process is executed (step 605), and the
processing result W and the original plaintext C are
compared with each other (step 606). When the processing
result W coincides with the original plaintext C, the
plaintext Z is output to the I/O port (step 608), and if
not, a reset is effected (step 607).

Abstract: A method and apparatus reduce bandwidth usage in an ATM
switching network (14) by controlling bandwidth used for IP
multicasting through the switching network. Bandwidth
usage is controlled by modifying ingress and access
modules, such as IP service gateways (28) and access
modules (18a,b) that terminate branches of a multicast
tree. If a join request is received at an IP service
gateway from a sink node (12a-f) served by an access
module, the IP service gateway instructs the access module
to graft a leaf to the branch to join the sink node to the
tree and to merge the multicast packets with other IP
packets for the sink node. Consequently, only one
connection (38a,b) carrying the multicast traffic is
required between the IP service gateway and the access
module. Bandwidth usage in the ATM switching network is
thereby controlled, and bandwidth usage in service access
trunks connecting the access modules to the ATM switching
network is reduced.
