Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant la préparation d'un catalyseur permettant de conduire des réactions d'hydrogénation du monoxyde de carbone, en particulier des réactions de Fischer-Tropsch. La première étape de ce procédé comprend l'activation ou la réactivation d'un catalyseur désactivé, ou la préparation et l'activation d'un nouveau catalyseur. Dans ce dernier cas, le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : on commence par mettre en contact, au cours d'une ou de plusieurs étapes, un support inorganique réfractaire en particules, sous forme de poudre ou préformé, avec un liquide ou une solution dans laquelle est dispersé ou dissout un composé ou un sel d'un ou de plusieurs métaux à activité catalytique, afin d'imprégner le support ou la poudre ou de déposer le ou les métaux sur ces derniers. Après chaque étape d'imprégnation, on calcine le support imprégné par le métal ou les métaux afin de former des oxydes du ou des métaux déposés. On traite ensuite le précurseur de catalyseur calciné avec une solution contenant un composé chélateur, de préférence un composé chélateur poly ou multicoordinant, afin de former un complexe avec les oxydes de métal ou de métaux, et d'extraire et d'éliminer une partie de ceux-ci. On active le catalyseur par réduction, ce qui peut être réalisé par contact avec de l'hydrogène. Lors de l'activation ou de la réactivation d'un catalyseur désactivé, on commence par traiter le catalyseur avec le composé chélateur de manière extraire une portion des oxydes métalliques, puis on soumet le catalyseur à une réduction. Dans tous les cas, le catalyseur activé ou réactivé présente une activité élevée ou une sélectivité importante envers C5+, ou à la fois une activité élevée et une sélectivité envers C5+ lors des réactions d'hydrogénation du monoxyde de carbone, assurant ainsi un rendement amélioré du processus.

Abstract: A wheelchair having a speed and direction control touchpad. The touchpad comprises two separated semi-conductive film layers, one measuring an X coordinate and one measuring a Y coordinate. When pressure is applied to the layers bringing them into contact with each other, an X, Y coordinate location is produced and the wheelchair is moved in a direction and speed analagous to the location of the pressure applied to the touchpad. A change in location of the pressure will result in a corresponding change in direction and speed. The touchpad also has a neutral or no movement activation point.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à une technique permettant de déceler un trouble prolifératif cellulaire chez un individu, laquelle technique repose sur la répartition spatiale de composants spécifiques, tels que des protéines et d'autres molécules, dans un noyau cellulaire de mammifère. Cette technique permet d'établir si une cellule est normale ou si elle a subi une transformation l'amenant à un état tumérogène. Si la transformation a eu lieu, cette répartition spatiale permet de détecter la tumeur et de la classer. La technique consiste, (a), à déterminer la répartition spatiale d'au moins un composant spécifique dans le noyau cellulaire d'un prélèvement à analyse, (b), à comparer cette répartition spatiale avec celle d'au moins un même composant spécifique dans un prélèvement de référence et, (c), à caractériser ce composant spécifique, un à tout le moins, dudit prélèvement à analyser et ce, en fonction de la comparaison établie avec le composant du prélèvement de référence. Cette technique se révèle des plus utile en matière de diagnostic pour la détection (précoce) ainsi que pour la surveillance de troubles prolifératifs, des carcinomes notamment, particulièrement chez l'homme.
