Abstract: L'invention concerne une couverture d'aiguille papillon pouvant loger une aiguille entière à ailette flexible, la partie tubulaire de l'aiguille papillon n'étant pas en saillie. L'invention comprend une partie ouverture latérale supérieure pour recevoir l'aiguille papillon complète, avec un conduit flexible relié à celle-ci, et une partie ouverture latérale inférieure pour le passage du conduit flexible. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que, sur la partie ouverture latérale supérieure, se trouve un moyen d'aide au repliage de la partie ailée, ce moyen permettant de renverser vers le haut la partie ailée de l'aiguille papillon, afin de la replier lorsque l'aiguille papillon complète est extraite par la partie ouverture latérale supérieure et insérée dans la couverture d'aiguille. Cette couverture d'aiguille peut aisément recevoir l'aiguille papillon après usage, elle rend difficile la remise en saillie de l'aiguille ainsi rangée, et elle est de fabrication simple et peu onéreuse, aucun moyen spécial n'étant prévu pour empêcher la remise en saillie de l'aiguille.

Abstract: A directional controller for a hearing aid with at least a front microphone and a back microphone, comprises a delay processor for processing the respective microphone signals, which is controlled according to a control parameter, and means for adjusting the control parameter in order to minimize the output signal from the delay processor. The control parameter may be adjusted to change smoothly the function mode of a hearing aid between omnidirectional mode, a directional mode and a directional mode with a pair of null directions, symmetrical about the 180° direction. The directional controller may be implemented in a multichannel version. The invention provides a directional controller, a method of controlling a hearing aid, and a noise reduction system.

Abstract: The effects of interfacial transition between organic and inorganic layers of a lithographic printing member are ameliorated by incorporating an inorganic component within the matrix of the organic layer. In a first aspect, a lithographic printing plate having adjacent organic and inorganic layers is fabricated by depositing a curable polymer, softening the polymer, and integrating an inorganic material therewith. The polymer is then cured to immobilize the integrated deposition material, and the desired inorganic layer is applied over the deposited inorganic material (and any exposed portions of the polymer). In a second aspect, a graded structure is built up on a substrate in successive deposition steps. Both polymer precursors and an inorganic filler material are deposited in stages, with each stage containing a desired ratio of polymer to filler.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are set forth for defining and validating feature policies in an execution system, such as a communication system. The method includes entering user policies described ire a straightforward manner (e.g. using a Web browser and user-understandable language) in such a way that they can be translated into a formal executable language. The user policies are then translated into an executable feature language such as the IETF's CPL. The user is then either compelled or provided with an option to validate the overall feature set before it is uploaded to the execution system. If validation is selected, the features are translated from CPL into another format, such as FIAT, from which it is possible to detect common feature specification errors. The FIAT detected errors are then analyzed in a manner that is aware of the expectations and common errors of naive users, and interpreted to determine possible errors as errors that are common to nave users. These eurors are reported to the user (e.g. via the Web interface) in terms that are understandable to naïve users and compatible with how the policies were originally described. The user is provided with options to either accept the interactions as they are, repair them manually or to accept a recommendation of an automatiic correction. Unlike conventional systems, where feature interactions are solved in the same way for all users, the selected resolution is personalized in the present invention to satisfy the end-user's intentions, independently of how others solve similar conflicts. The features are uploaded to the execution system.

Title: Flow cell and method of separating carrier-free radionuclides and their radiochemical reaction
Inventor: HAMACHER KURT
IPC: A61M5/20
Filed: 2003-02-06
Granted: 2011-04-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a flow cell, a method for separating carrier-free radionuclides from a liquid or liquefiable target material, and the radiochemical reaction thereof. According to prior art, flow cells are known which require reaction volumes corresponding to the volume of the target material in order to carry out the desired reactions. The inventive flow cell (1) and method enable the reaction volume, and thus the quantity of starting material, to be reduced by a multiple by reducing the cylinder volume (=  reaction volume). As the radioactively marked product is present in very small quantities (picomole to nanomole), the HPL-chromatographic separation of the non-reacted starting material is significantly improved. The economic efficiency of the method is increased due to the fact that small quantities of starting material can be used.

Abstract: An apparatus (2) for steering a nosewheel on an aircraft, or the like, while the aircraft is on the ground. The apparatus includes a steering shaft (20) that engages a cluster (40, 50) of gears and transfers torque from a steerin g command to the gears. The steering shaft is rotatable from a centered positi on in response to steering torque. A centering mechanism (6) imparts a counter- torque on the cluster of gears to restore the steering shaft to the centered position when steering torque is released. The gear cluster comprises two drive gears (42, 52) that accurately guide the steering shaft to the centere d position under the influence of the centering mechanism. The gear cluster is configured to minimize and compensate for gear wear, permitting accurate and consistent centering of the main shaft each time a steering torque is releas ed.
