Title: Vannes et autre régulation du débit dans des systèmes fluidiques incluant des systèmes microfluidiques
Inventor: ABATE ADAM R
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2009-05-15
Abstract: L’invention concerne des articles et des procédés de régulation du débit dans des systèmes fluidiques, et notamment dans des systèmes microfluidiques. Dans un aspect, un système microfluidique décrit dans la présente invention inclut une configuration telle que l’actionnement d’une seule vanne peut permettre de faire passer des fluides d’un premier chemin fluidique (par exemple, une première section en U) vers un second chemin fluidique (par exemple, une seconde section en U). Ceci peut être obtenu, par exemple, en incorporant une vanne avec une première section en U qui peut présenter une résistance hydrodynamique plus faible qu’une seconde section en U avant l’actionnement de la vanne. L’actionnement de la vanne peut entraîner une hausse isolée de la résistance hydrodynamique de la première section en U, redirigeant ainsi l’écoulement fluidique vers la seconde section en U (qui présente maintenant une résistance hydrodynamique relativement inférieure). Dans certains modes de réalisation, la vanne comporte un canal de commande destiné à introduire une pression positive ou réduite, et est adaptée pour moduler l’écoulement du fluide dans une section en U adjacente, par étrangement ou expansion de la section en U. Par exemple, la vanne et/ou la section en U peuvent être constituées d’un matériau souple, et l’actionnement de la vanne peut être effectué par application d’une pression positive ou réduite à la vanne, afin de causer la déformation de la vanne et de la section en U. Un autre aspect de l’invention concerne des articles et des procédés associés à la manipulation de matériaux multiphases (par exemple, des dispersions). Par exemple, une ou plusieurs vannes peuvent être combinées avec un système de concentration de l’écoulement, de manière à former des gouttelettes de différents volumes et/ou fréquences sans avoir besoin de modifier le débit des fluides lorsque ceux-ci sont introduits dans le système fluidique.

Title: Procédés et ensembles pour fixer des articles à des surfaces
Inventor: THOMPSON CRAIG D
IPC: C09J7/10
Filed: 2009-05-06
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des procédés et sur des ensembles pour monter un article sur une surface à l'aide d'un adhésif double face. Au moins un élément d'espacement est utilisé, lequel élément peut s'infléchir lors de l'application d'une force suffisante. Lorsqu'il est dans une première condition non infléchie, l'élément d'espacement procure un espace suffisant entre la surface de montage et l'adhésif double face pour que l'adhésif double face ne vienne pas en contact avec la surface de montage, ce par quoi la position de l'article peut être réglée. Lorsqu'il est dans une deuxième condition infléchie, l'élément d'espacement permet à l'adhésif double face de venir en contact avec la surface de montage, de telle sorte qu'une liaison peut être établie entre l'adhésif double face et la surface de montage.

Filed: 2009-06-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne la commande d’un appareil en vue de détecter les emplacements d’une pluralité d’objets sur la surface tactile d’un panneau (1). Un dispositif de balayage d’entrée introduit au moins trois faisceaux (B1- B6) de rayonnement à l’intérieur du panneau (1) pour qu’ils se propagent par réflexion interne, et réalise au moyen des faisceaux (B1-B6) un balayage de l’intérieur du panneau à travers une zone de détection, de préférence dans au moins deux directions principales différentes (R1, R2). Au moins un détecteur de rayonnement est disposé de façon à recevoir les faisceaux (B1-B6) issus du dispositif de balayage d’entrée tandis qu’ils balaient la zone de détection. Un processeur de données est relié au(x) détecteur(s) de rayonnement et exploité pour identifier les emplacements sur la base d’une atténuation des faisceaux (B1-B6) causée par les objets touchant la surface tactile à l’intérieur de la zone de détection, l’atténuation étant identifiable à partir d’un signal de sortie du ou des détecteurs de rayonnement. Chaque signal de sortie peut faire l’objet d’un traitement supplémentaire pour générer un signal d’émission, en divisant le signal de sortie par un signal de fond qui représente le signal de sortie obtenu en l’absence de tout objet sur la surface tactile.

Abstract: Provided is a composition for prophylaxis or treatment of an eye disease comprising a compound represented by General Formula I:      S   -       MS     p     -       MS     q           
wherein S represents sialic acid, and (MS) p  and (MS) q  independently represent a monosaccharide residue. 
     The compound used as the active ingredient inhibits expression of MMP-9 and inflammation-mediated cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, etc.) in corneal epithelial cells and inhibits VEGF-mediated VEGFR-2 activation in human retinal endothelial cells (HREC), thereby exhibiting prophylactic or therapeutic activity for eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome, inflammatory eye disease, neovascularization-associated eye disease and side effects of wearing of contact lenses. Also, because it has no cytotoxicity or skin side effect, the provided composition may be safely used as a pharmaceutical composition, a neutraceutical composition or a food composition. In addition, the composition may be used as a cleaner or a lubricant for contact lenses since it has nonbacterial antiinflammatory activity and ocular contact lubricating activity.

Abstract: Pilot transmission and channel estimation techniques for an OFDM system with excess delay spread are described. To mitigate the deleterious effects of excess delay spread, the number of pilot subbands is greater than the cyclic prefix length. This 'oversampling' may be achieved by using more pilot subbands in each symbol period or different sets of pilot subbands in different symbol periods. In one channel estimation technique, first and second groups of received pilot symbols are obtained for first and second pilot subband sets, respectively, and used to derive first and second frequency response estimates, respectively. First and second impulse response estimates are derived based on the first and second frequency response estimates, respectively, and used to derive a third impulse response estimate having more taps than the number of pilot subbands in either set.
