Abstract: The invention relates to a flow channel section (S), especially for a vacuum cleaner (1), in which there is a pivot joint (18) and a diagonal intermediate section (15) is formed from an inlet channel which, once again with a further deviation, opens into an outlet channel, the cross section of the inlet channel (13) and the outlet channel (17) being elliptical, the pivot joint (18) being formed in the intermediate section (15), and the cross section of the channel being circular. In order to design a flow channel section (S), especially for a vacuum cleaner, as claimed, so that the best possible flow conditions are maintained over the greatest possible pivoting range about the pivot joint (18) and/or the air flow (L) is deflected in such a way that sharp deflection areas are avoided, with a relatively small flow channel section (S), it is proposed that the intermediate section (15) be directed along a somewhat spatially diagonal line (axis x).

Abstract: The sealing of a safety filling and emptying valve for liquid, pasty and powdery substances is disclosed. A barrel (10) to be filled or emptied is coupled to an appropriate device. A sealing ring is associated to the top part of the barrel and to the corresponding element of the device. The sealing rings (7, 8) have an approximately C-shaped profile and form two sealing surfaces (14, 15, 16, 17) that are inclined relative to each other, one (14, 17) of which is substantially horizontal and the other (15, 16) is substantially conical.

Abstract: Dispositif d'introduction de greffon comprenant un tube ou gaine (10) protecteur destiné à entourer le ligament (12) de remplacement. En conséquence, on peut insérer une vis (66) de serrage du fémur à travers une cavité (50) du tibia alors que le dispositif (10) d'introduction de greffon et le ligament (12) de remplacement sont en position dans la cavité tibiale (50). Grâce à la présente invention, en insérant ladite vis (66) dans la cavité (50) du tibia, on peut aligner de manière avantageuse un axe longitudinal de cette vis (66) avec un axe longitudinal de la cavité (62) du fémur et de la broche (14) de celui-ci située dans cette cavité afin de fixer la broche uniformément sur toute sa longueur à l'intérieur de la cavité (62) du fémur. En procédant de la sorte, on réduit ainsi la possibilité de divergence de la vis (66) dans la cavité (62) du fémur et on améliore la fixation de la broche (14) à l'intérieur de cette cavité (62).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif à semi-conducteurs pour des fréquences dans la plage des micro-ondes, comprenant un substrat (1-2) pourvu sur un premier côté (3) d'un élément semi-conducteur (4), d'un élément passif (5) et d'un motif d'éléments conducteurs (6), alors que le côté opposé, c'est-à-dire le second côté (7), porte une couche de métallisation (8) qui est connectée aux éléments (4, 5, 6) présents sur le premier côté (3), par des fenêtres (9) formées dans le substrat. Le substrat (1-2) est constitué d'une couche de silicium (1) qui est disposée sur une couche d'un matériau isolant (2), l'élément semi-conducteur (4) étant formé dans la couche de silicium (1) et la couche de métallisation (8) étant formée sur le côté de la couche de matériau isolant (2) qui est éloignée de la couche de silicium (1). La couche de silicium (1) peut présenter une très faible épaisseur, par exemple de 0,1 à 0,2 νm. Dans une telle couche mince de silicium (1), on peut former des transistors bipolaires et à effet de champ capables de traiter des signaux ayant la fréquence de micro-ondes. Comme la couche de silicium (1) est mince, l'influence de la conductivité du silicium sur les éléments passifs est faible.

Abstract: RNA polymerase I transcription in vivo in transiently DNA-transfected cells has been used for expression of influenza vRNA molecules coding for chloramphenicol acetytransferase (CAT) in anti-sense orientation. Influenza virus superinfection served to provide viral RNA polymerase and other proteins for transcriptional conversion of minus-strand vRNA into plus-strand viral mRNA molecules expressing CAT activity. This system has been used for an analysis via nucleotide exchanges as well as deletions and insertions of both terminal segments of the vRNA sequence which cooperatively constitute the vRNA promoter structure. Several mutants with greatly enhanced expression rates over wild-type levels have been constructed, which also can be packaged and serially passaged into progeny virus. The data obtained for the mutations in various promoter elements support a model of consecutive, doublestrand vRNA promoter structures in binding of viral polymerase and initiation of RNA synthesis. Preparations of attenuated influenza virus for vaccination purposes include a single recombinant segment with promoter up mutation(s) for over-expression of an own or foreign gene product, which at the same time because of its over-replication serves to decrease the number of helper virus RNP segments. The same viruses further have been passaged through a step of ribozyme cleavage acting at one of the helper viral segments, which will delete this vital function and structure with high rates from the virus progeny. The resulting attenuated viruses will interact with their target cells in only one round of abortive infection, and are unable to produce viral progeny.

Abstract: A flexible tubular prosthetic pylon is formed by resin impregnated carbon fibers. The wall of the tubular pylon has a uniform thickness over most of its length to make the pylon relatively rigid. However, an annular band of the pylon wall adjacent one end is relatively thin to form a flexible portion at that end. During fitting of the pylon, the end of the pylon opposite the flexible portion is trimmed to a desired length. Since substantially all of the flexure of the pylon occurs in the flexible portion, trimming the opposite end does not affect the flexure characteristics of the pylon. The pylon is made by table rolling layers of pre-impregnated fibers around a mandrel, with a reduced number of layers in a band adjacent one end forming the relatively thin wall. The resulting laminate and mandrel are then placed in a mold having mold surfaces that replicate the outer surface of the pylon. The mandrel is expanded radially to force the laminate against the mold surfaces, and the mold is then heated to cure the resin. Finally, the laminate and mandrel are removed from the mold, the mandrel is made to radially contract, and the mandrel is removed from inside the laminate to complete the prosthetic pylon.

Abstract: Sealant is applied onto or into a folded-seam closure of a metal can. Instead of introducing sealant into the U-shaped lid flange and drying, the compound or sealant is applied to the flange base. The base of the metal can is dipped into a current of fluid sealant or at least brought into contact with it at the surface. This substantially improves the precision of dosing and the exact amount of applied sealant.

Abstract: The detector (3) has a release mechanism in a housing which can bleed the brake in the case of a derailment of the brake's air conduit (25). The detector is combined with an emergency brake (1) in the form of an emergency brake block (5). The release mechanism works opposite a valve (41,43) which, when not in use, is locked between a chamber (37) which guides the control line pressure of the emergency brake, and an outlet (54) to the atmosphere. The chamber is closed by way of a channel on the gate terminal (11) of the emergency brake valve. This is done in such a way that reduced pressure in the chamber triggers emergency braking operations of the emergency brake valve.

Abstract: Les systèmes de télécommunications numériques à terminaux assurant des transmissions sans fils de données transmettant des signaux vocaux ou non vocaux sont bien connus. Pour obtenir un système de télécommunications souple mixte, vocal et non vocal, on recourt à des terminaux pour liaisons mixtes (vocales en temps réel et non vocales fiables) dans lesquels les canaux établis peuvent être affectés dynamiquement à des liaisons non vocales ou mixtes (vocales et non vocales) sans devoir libérer au préalable les ressources affectés. On peut ainsi assurer des commutations très rapides au niveau des couches les plus élevés sans que les autres dispositifs du système en soient aucunement affectés, ce qui s'avère particulièrement intéressant pour les liaisons multimédia.
