Title: Electrical measurement process
IPC: G01R21/00
Filed: 1985-11-13
Granted: 1990-02-28
Abstract: An electrical measurement process for comparative determination of the power factor of a d.c. motor fed from a stationary or variably-located voltage source via a converter and a current measurement device, arranged in at least one switching arm and connected via a switch with an integrator or a similarly operating filter. This process should be capable of use with a reduced need for technical equipment compared with that of the present state of the art in the case of converters having any desired circuit arrangement. For this, the measured current is fed periodically to the integrator via electronic switches, if the switch of the switching arm is closed and if the output voltage between the terminals of the converter is non-zero and if there is a predetermined angular region which is smaller than one period of the output frequency of the converter.

Abstract: A one-piece molded closure of plastic which threads onto a container with a fairly specific exterior configuration and provides a combination such that when the closure is unthreaded, a tamper-indicating ring becomes separated from the lower end of the closure skirt. The indicating ring or band is joined to the closure by frangible bridges and a flexible stop ring is formed within the band and extends inwardly and upwardly when the closure is applied to a container finish. The container finish has a first radial bead and an inwardly tapering side wall surface therebeneath which leads to an abrupt, inwardly extending ledge. The flexible stop ring rests on the tapered surface, when the closure is applied. After closure removal, the stop ring and band drops below the ledge indicating that the closure has been removed.

Abstract: Gene segments of human T cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) were expressed in E. coli as peptides that are reactive with sera from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Among recombinant peptides one designated HTLV-III polypeptide 121, contained 85 amino acid residues encoded by a gene segment in the env-lor region of the HTLV-III genome. The polypeptide is strongly reactive with AIDS patient sera. The peptide produced and purified as a fusion protein on a large scale. Solid phase immunoassays employing this recombinant peptide as an immunoabsorbent can reliably and reproducibly detect antibodies in sera of patients with HTLV-III infection. In two representative serum panels, the assay detected the presence of antibodies in 120 of 121 sera from patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex (ARC), and only in 1 of 92 normal controls. Based upon HTLV-III polypeptide 121 as immunoreactive agent, sensitive and specific immunoassays for HTLV-III infection have been developed.

Granted: 1993-03-10
Abstract: Des machines portant une flèche ou un bras pivotant, dont la longueur et angle par rapport à un plan de référence sont ajustables par des actionneurs sont bien connues. Il est cependant extrêmement difficile, sinon impossible, de commander simultanément les actionneurs, de manière coordonnée, de manière à déplacer en ligne droite l'extrémité de la flèche ou du bras. Afin de résoudre ce problème, un système de commande d'une flèche (12) commande les actionneurs (16, 18) dans deux modes de fonctionnement. Le premier mode de fonctionnement comprend la commande indépendante de chaque actionneur (16, 18), ce qui permet une manipulation selon des coordonnées polaires, et le deuxième mode de fonctionnement comprend la commande synchronisée des actionneurs (16, 17) de façon à déplacer en ligne droite l'extrémité de l'élément (12). Un dispositif (34) permet de sélectionner manuellement un des deux modes de fonctionnement. Un dispositif (110-118) peut être prévu pour calculer le jeu horizontal restant de la flèche (12) ou du bras lorsqu'une commande de déplacement de celui-ci est donnée.

Granted: 1990-12-27
Abstract: Lorsqu'on utilise un circuit d'alimentation à batterie flottante pour des lignes téléphoniques, il est souhaitable de prévoir un circuit de polarisation anticorrosion pour empêcher ls tension sur les conducteurs de pointe et de nuque de devenir positive. Cela peut être effectué en utilisant un circuit anticorrosion (300) qui absorbe une quantité dynamique de courant du conducteur de pointe. Un circuit de ligne comprenant une telle polarisation est cependant incompatible avec des lignes spéciales telles que des lignes PBX (d'une centrale privée reliée au réseau publique) qui dépendent d'un conducteur de pointe mis à la terre pendant une conversation. Selon la présente invention, un courant constant est amené du circuit de référence de terre (400) au conducteur de nuque de ces lignes spéciales uniquement lorsqu'il y a passage d'un courant de boucle. L'intensité de ce courant fourni est telle que le circuit anticorrosion (300) maintient le conducteur de pointe suffisamment près du potentiel de terre pour permettre le fonctionnement approprié des circuits connectés aux lignes spéciales.

Abstract: Un système (10) de traitement de composants du sang utilise un tube (12) en plastique jetable de circulation de fluide dans lequel un anticoagulant peut être dosé avec précision par rapport au flux de sang pompé. Dans une phase préliminaire d'étalonnage, un tube (12) fermé de circulation de fluide est disposé entre la pompe d'anticoagulant et la pompe de sang. Une des pompes est ensuite commandée pour injecter du fluide dans ces tubes fermés, pendant que l'autre pompe est commandée pour retirer du fluide provenant de ce chemin à ce qui est nominalement un débit égal de fluide. Les changements de pression du fluide dans le tuyau (12) fermé de circulation du fluide sont ensuite contrôlés (20) et le débit d'au moins une des pompes est modifié selon la nécessité pour atteindre une pression de fluide approximativement constante dans le tube (12) fermé de circulation du fluide. La commande (22) du débit de la pompe nécessaire pour atteindre une pression constante peut ensuite être pris comme étalonnage relatif de débit entre les deux pompes de manière à permettre une mesure ultérieure précise de pompage de l'anticoagulant dans le flux de sang pompé. Une disposition similaire peut être utilisée pour déduire les constantes relatives d'étalonnage du flux pour la pompe de sang et une pompe de cellules concentrées également présente dans le système de traitement des constituants du sang.

Abstract: Un procédé et un appareil de combustion de poussier de charbon sont mis en oeuvre dans une chaudière brûlant du poussier de charbon. Dans une chaudière conventionnelle brûlant du poussier de charbon, la concentration de poussier de charbon dans un mélange de poussier de charbon et d'air fourni à une section de combustion (20) pendant une étape initiale de fonctionnement de la chaudière est si faible que le mélange ne peut pas être directement mis à feu par un allumeur. Il est donc nécessaire de soumettre le mélange à une pré-combustion en utilisant un combustible auxiliaire, tel que le pétrole, avec des risques d'explosion dans le fourneau. Selon la présente invention, on met le mélange en circulation dans des passages (52, 56, 55) afin d'augmenter la concentration de poussier de charbon dans le mélange fourni à la section de combustion (20) pendant une étape initiale de fonctionnement de la chaudière, jusqu'à un niveau au moins aussi élevé que le niveau auquel le mélange s'allume de façon stable. Par conséquent, le mélange peut brûler facilement, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser un combustible auxiliaire tel que le pétrole, ce qui élimine les risques d'explosion dans le fourneau.
