Abstract: Ce circuit de commande de puissance (10) contient un atténuateur commandé en tension (16) combiné à un convertisseur logarithmique (24) afin de réaliser l'amplification linéaire d'un signal d'entrée (12) sur une plage de sortie de fréquences aussi large que possible. L'invention concerne un convertisseur logarithmique conçu pour s'utiliser dans ce circuit de commande de puissance et comprenant un moyen d'amplification (60) comportant une entrée inverseuse (70) et non inverseuse (66) et une sortie (64), ainsi que deux moyens de réaction (62, 68). Ces moyens de réaction sont branchés séparément entre la sortie et une entrée du moyen d'amplification, de telle sorte que le premier moyen de réaction (62) produit un signal de réaction entraînant l'apparition d'une caractéristique non linéaire dans le moyen d'amplification (60) et que le deuxième moyen de réaction (68) contient au moins un élément réactif (108) servant à limiter le signal de réaction provenant du premier moyen de réaction (62) à un seuil supérieur à certains niveaux de signal. Le premier moyen de réaction peut être constitué par des transistors à couplage par émetteurs (76, 78) ou par deux paires de transistors de Darlington. Le deuxième moyen de réaction est une diode Zener (108).

Abstract: A ball valve (10) comprises a main opening (14) and an auxiliary opening (14A) which
serve as an opening on an inflow side of a passing hole (13) of a ball (12), and a sector
opening (15) which serves as an opening on an outflow side of the passing hole. The passing
hole (13) comprises a tapered flow passage surface (13A) extending from the main opening
(14) to the sector opening (15). When a valve is fully closed, a tip end portion (15A) of the
sector opening (15) is set in a first sealing region (17A) defined by an outflow side sealing
member (17) immediately near an outlet flow passage (11B), and when the valve is fully
opened, the tip end portion (15A) of the sector opening (15) is set to enter across the outlet
flow passage (11B) into a second sealing region (17A) defined by the outflow side sealing
member (17). The auxiliary opening (14A) makes an inlet flow passage (11A) communicate
with the passing hole (13) when the tip end portion (15A) of the sector opening (15) passes
the first sealing region (17A) to start opening the valve, and the main opening (14) makes the
inlet flow passage (11A) communicate with the passing hole (13) after the valve begins to
open, whereby a fluid is rapidly started to flow after a valve opening action performed by an
operating unit, a zone, in which the fluid is controlled by the opening unit, is made large and
an accuracy of fluid control is improved.

The contact area between the two friction bodies is oil-lubricated. The friction lining in a direction at right angles away from the surface has a decreasing ratio of thermal capacity to heat conductivity. The ratio at individual friction points on the surface with thermal removal of the oil, produces dry friction without the tendency of the friction bodies to corrode.

Abstract: Antitumor agent which comprises as the principal agent
a mixture of organic compounds having amino group and silyl
group (reffered to as silamines) and represented by
structural formulae with Adriamycin. Use of silamines in
the form of a mixture with Adriamycin, which is an anti-cancer
agent showing a potent effect but having extremely
serious side effects, makes it possible to highly
potentiate the anti-cancer properties of Adriamycin. As a
result, the dose of Adriamycincan be reduced and thus its
side effects can be relatively relieved as compared with
the case where it is used alone.

Abstract: Un signal CAP est traité par un réseau démodulateur (figure 2, 250) à modulation d'amplitude en quadrature (QAM). Le réseau QAM fait tourner le signal CAP autour de sa fréquence centrale, laquelle rotation est éliminée avant la transmission du signal CAP à des réseaux utilisateurs. Dans un mode de réalisation analogue (figure 3), le signal CAP est élevé en fréquence de façon à être centré à Fad/4, afin que le processeur QAM puisse utiliser la séquence de démodulation habituelle 1, 0, -1, 0 pour amener le signal CAP à la bande de base. Il est également possible, par des techniques numériques (figure 4), de rendre l'élévation de fréquence inutile et de remplacer la séquence de démodulation 1, 0, -1, 0 par un oscillateur à commande numérique (406) et un multiplicateur total, de façon que le processeur QAM amène le signal CAP à la bande de base.
