Abstract: An oral preparation composed of a core comprising a principal agen and a pharmaceutically acceptable filler; the first layer covering the core, which comprises an enteric or water-soluble component and may optionally contain an insoluble component; the second layer covering the first layer, which comprises a nonenteric component which dissolves by reacting with at least one component of the core; and the third layer covering the second layer, which comprises an enteric component. This preparation will not release the principal agent until it reaches a desired region in an intestine and it can release the agent at a controllable rate once it reaches that region. Thus it can be effectively used in administering a principal agent having an absorption specificity at a particular region in the intestine or treating a disease at a particular region in the intestine.

Abstract: La fabrication de rangées de diodes luminescentes (rangées de DELs) dans des imprimantes non mécaniques requiert le montage des DELs (1) dans une position précise sur une plaque modulaire (3). Etant donné qu'une rangée de DELs se compose de plusieurs DELs (1) agencées les unes à côtés des autres, il est nécessaire de les positionner avec précision les unes par rapport aux autres, ainsi que par rapport à la plaque modulaire (3). Les tolérances admises se situent autour de ± 3 à 10 νm. Afin d'obtenir un procédé ayant aussi peu d'opérations que possible, tout en assurant un positionnement précis et une manipulation douce des DELs (1), un support auxiliaire est décrit, ayant la forme d'un support suceur (2). Chaque chambre d'aspiration (6) qu'il contient retient par dépression une DEL (1). L'utilisation du support suceur (2) rend superflus des procédés chimiques par voie humide et des procédés mécaniques de nettoyage afin de séparer le support auxiliaire des DELs (1). Lorsque le support suceur (2) et la plaque modulaire (3) sont chauffés, on peut exécuter très rapideement le soudage sans installations coûteuses de soudage dans un dispositif de fixation, sous un contrôle continu au moyen d'un microscope de mesure (5).

Abstract: In a heat-strengthening station (3) down-stream of a heating furnace the cooling rate of a glass sheet is retarded by means of plates (9, 11), which are set above and below a glass sheet (15) and return some of the thermal radiation back to a glass sheet and slow down convection. Thus, a glass sheet can be heat-strengthened by chilling it at a certain controlled cooling rate. In order to make also the lower plate effectively return some of the thermal radiation applied thereto, despite the rolls fitted in between, the top surface (13) of lower plate (11) is made highly reflective to thermal radiation and further corrugated in a manner that the ribs (12) of the corrugations extend between the rolls (6) close to a glass sheet.

These problems are overcome by subjecting the composite signal to a filtering step, before application of the non-linear processing, so as to filter out the subcarrier, the chrominance subcarrier in a PAL signal, and to compand the chrominance sidebands. Preferably a notch filter is used which has a notch shaped as a Gaussian curve.

Abstract: A fluid pump with rotary impeller is disclosed which comprises an electromagnetically-driven, bearing-free, seal-free rotary impeller levitated by localized opposed, repulsive, permanent magnetic forces and by fluid forces, or by localized opposed repulsive magnetic forces only. Levitation by localized opposed magnetic or magnetic and fluid forces of an impeller driven by electromagnetic forces eliminates the need for bearings and seals in the driving mechanism. This avoids the heat build-up and leakage associated with other pumping mechanisms, which can be of importance in pumping of physiological fluids such as blood. The levitating forces of the present invention are applied repulsively both axially and radially with respect to the impeller and are auto-adjusting, such that any attempted displacement of the impeller will automatically incur a corrective change in levitating forces. The invention should be of use in numerous medical and non-medical applications where the benefits of impeller levitation by localized forces are apparent.
