Patent EP-1221961-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FERRONE SOLDANO
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2000-10-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for enhancing the efficacy of an immune response against an antigen which is a self-antigen. The method of the invention comprises (i) immunization of a host with a mimic of the self-antigen to break tolerance to a self antigen, and (ii) increasing the response to the self-antigen by a booster with the original antigen. An immune response may be generated against any self antigen including, for example, tumor associated antigens, cell surface receptors, receptor ligands, cytokines, hormones, or a self antigen whose expression is associated with a disease or disorder. The method of the invention may be used to target destruction of targeted tumor cells bearing tumor associated antigens in cancer subjects through induction of an immune response.

IPC: G01V3/10
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: The inductive sensor arrangement for detecting of a ferromagnetic or non-ferrous
electrically conducting objects hidden in a surrounding medium comprises
three field coils (1A, 1B, 1C) arranged in essentially the same geometric
plane and adjacently positioned at angular distances of usually 120° from each
other around a central axis orthogonal to the plane for generating an alternating
magnetic flux by a sequential excitation with an AC-current ramp. The sensor
arrangement further comprises three sense coils (2A, 2B, 2C) respectively
mounted inside each associated field coil and in an orientation to the axes of
each of said field coils such that essentially no voltage is induced in said sensor
coils in an environment free of a metallic object. In case a a ferromagnetic or
non-ferous electrically conducting object comes into the vicinity of the sensor,
nine characteristic voltage value sets are produced by the three sense coils
which are stored and processed by an algorithmic processing for defining a
distinct criterion in respect to the position of a hidden metallic object to be
located. 
     The sensor arrangement and the algorithmic processing of the sense signals
have the advantage that with a single point measurement an accurate position
and depth discrimination for a hidden ferromagnetic or non-ferrous electrically
conducting object like a rebar (R), a copper pipe in concrete or the like is
possible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour mesurer, contrôler des produits en carton et/ou signaler des « dommages » matériels, tels que l'éclatement sens machine, dans ces derniers. Ledit procédé consiste à appliquer une force prédéterminée sur un produit en carton, de sorte que ce dernier ne soit pas déformé au-delà de sa zone élastique. L'appareil utilisé pour l'application de la force présente, de préférence, une taille et une structure limitant l'ampleur de la déflexion du produit en carton. Grâce au maintien de la déflexion du produit en carton dans sa zone élastique, le risque de dommage permanent audit produit est réduit. Ainsi le procédé et l'appareil de l'invention permettent de constater, de manière non destructive, un éclatement sens machine sur le produit en carton en cours d'essai, et peuvent être utilisés dans le contrôle/essai en ligne de la production de carton.

One particular embodiment comprises a wrist-holder (5) and a special linkage (18 to 22) which links the latter to a fixed seat, and the mobile elements (7, 8, 9) of the wrist have articulation axes meeting in a point (0). Thus, the wrist (6) is balanced in rotation and exerts a constant force on the arm segments (3, 4), thereby enabling to balance them easily with static return means. The arm can thus remain in a stable position even when it is released.
