Abstract: Determination of anti-coagulation potential of a sample is carried out in the presence of exogeneous thrombomodulin. Determination of anti-coagulation potential of a sample in the presence of an exogenous thrombomodulin comprises: (a) adding to the sample exogenous thrombomodulin, which can form a protein C-activating-complex with thrombin, whereby the protein C can be exogenous or endogenous, an activator for thrombin, where the prothrombin is either endogenous or exogenous, phospholipids, calcium ions and other reagents for the optimization of the coagulation time test; (b) starting the prothrombin-activator reaction; and (c) determining the formation of thrombin by either measuring the time of thrombin formation, fibrin clot formation or formation of labeled thrombin. Independent claims are also included for: (1) a test kit used to carry out the method above; and (2) a method for determining anti-thrombin III activity of the protein C system of a sample, comprising the step described above.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système hydraulique à compensation de pression amélioré destiné à fournir un fluide hydraulique à au moins un actionneur hydraulique (20). Une pompe autorégulatrice (18) éloignée fournit une pression de sortie égale à une pression de régulation d'entrée augmentée d'une marge constante. Dans un système de compensation de pression, une pression dépendant de la charge doit être transmise à l'entrée de la pompe à travers un circuit de détection de charge. Un isolateur (92) transmet la pression dépendant de la charge de l'entrée de régulation de la pompe tout en empêchant le fluide de quitter le circuit de détection de charge pour s'écouler vers la pompe éloignée (18). Une section de soupapes (13, 14, 15) qui règle l'écoulement de fluide entre la pompe (18) et l'actionneur (20) comprend une vanne de régulation de pression (48) munie d'un piston (64) et d'un tiroir cylindrique (60), laquelle commande une différence de pression de part et d'autre d'un orifice (44) de vanne de régulation principale en se déplaçant à l'intérieur d'un alésage (62) en réponse à une différence de pression entre la pression d'alimentation de la pompe et la pression de détection de charge. Le piston (64) et le tiroir cylindrique (60) se séparent également afin d'empêcher l'écoulement de fluide vers l'actionneur (20) lorsque la contre-pression de la charge dépasse la pression d'alimentation de la pompe.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une montre électronique qui indique sur l'affichage si le système de génération génère de l'électricité ou non, et qui affiche également l'état de génération du système de génération ainsi que l'état de stockage du système de stockage. Un système de détection (140) va détecter l'état de génération du système de génération (110). Un système d'estimation (150) va estimer si le système de génération (110) génère de l'électricité ou non en fonction du signal de détection provenant du système de détection (140), puis va envoyer des instructions au système d'affichage (130) afin d'afficher l'état de génération. L'état de génération est détecté d'après la différence de potentiel entre les bornes. On peut également faire appel à un système de mesure du stockage (242) afin de mesurer l'électricité stockée dans le système de stockage (120). L'affichage de l'état de génération se fait par un mouvement modulé d'une aiguille dans le cas d'une montre analogique, et par l'affichage d'une marque dans le cas d'une montre numérique. Si la montre se trouve à l'état de non-génération ou si la quantité d'électricité stockée est faible, l'aiguille est arrêtée de manière à réduire la consommation d'énergie.
