Patent EP-0430440-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT C
IPC: G01N21/76
Filed: 1990-10-29
Abstract: The presence or amount of inflammation of a patient is determined by comparing the extent of opsonin receptor expression on phagocytes of a patient with the maximum opsonin receptor expression inducible on phagocytes of the patient  in vitro  after stimulation with a receptor expression priming agent. Preferably, the state of inflammation of a patient is determined by contacting a first portion of a phagocyte containing biological sample from the patient with an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent capable of eliciting metabolic activation and with a chemiluminigenic substrate, contacting a second portion of the biological sample from the patient with an opsonin receptor expression priming agent, an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent capable of eliciting metabolic activation and a chemiluminigenic substrate, and then comparing the chemiluminescence response of the first and second portions of the sample as a measure of the immune response potential or state of inflammation of the patient. Phagocyte function is additionally quantitatively evaluated by measuring the phagocyte oxygenation capacity of a maximally opsonin receptor primed and stimulated biological sample of a patient, determining the specific oxygenation capacity to a set of controls representing the normal distribution of specific oxygenation capacity established from testing a large population. The phagocyte-specific oxygenation capacity is determined by contacting the sample with an opsonin receptor expression priming agent, an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent and a chemiluminigenic substrate, measuring the chemiluminescence response of the sample, determining the chemiluminescence response per phagocyte of the sample and comparing the response per phagocyte with that of the normal range of values. Kits and reagents are provided for use in the practice of the disclosed methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for theorem checking with the intention in so-called tautology checks of establishing whether or not  all  possible attributions of the truth values (0 and 1) to variables in a boolean formula render the formula true. The problem of known techniques is that checking of the truth content is effected against all variables in an original formula, which requires many calculations to be made and which is highly time-consuming. 
     According to the invention, an original formula is divided into part-expressions, so-called triplets, each corresponding to a part-formula of the original formula, whereafter logic 0:s and 1:s are instantiated (allotted) to variables in the triplets for the purpose of checking the truth content. The check is thus made against triplets instead of against all variables in the original formula, therewith greatly reducing the number of calculations necessary and providing a considerable saving in time. Apparatus, called a theorem checker, for carrying out the method includes a sequence unit for controlling the calculation sequency, a generator G for generating sequences of ordered variables, a permanent unit P for storing triplets, a plurality of arithmetical units, evaluators (E) and an analyzer A operative to analyze the result obtain from all calculations.

Chaque détecteur (120, 122, 124, 126, 128) peut être étalonné à l'aide d'une pluralité de vérifications de produit de sorte à ce que des signaux de sorties multiples correspondant à des produits multiples puissent être générées simultanément par les détecteurs. Chaque détecteur (120, 122, 124, 126, 128) est étalonné avec des vérifications de produit correspondant au produit (118, 110) ou à une étape intermédiaire (114) du produit (118) qu'il surveille, la couche appliquée par la station de traitement le précédant, si c'est le cas, et la couche appliquée par la station de traitement lui succédant, si c'est le cas. Des signaux générés par les détecteurs (120, 122, 124, 126, 128) peuvent alors être utilisés directement pour déterminer le poids de base du produit obtenu (118) et/ou chaque étape intermédiaire (114) du produit, ou encore les signaux peuvent être traités pour déterminer le poids de base de chaque couche de matériau du produit obtenu indépendamment du substrat (102) sur lequel la couche a été appliquée. La mesure de la couche indépendamment du substrat s'effectue en soustrayant le signal de sortie généré par le détecteur précédant la station de traitement qui applique la couche en fonction de la vérification du produit correspondant à la couche du signal de sortie généré par le détecteur suivant la station de traitement qui applique la couche en fonction de la vérification du produit correspondant à la couche.

Abstract: The flexural pivot has two retaining pieces. The flexural pivot is mounted on a base on the one retaining piece. The second retaining piece is used for the mounting of a component which is intended to be able to execute a relative hinged movement with respect to the base when in operation. A resilient piece is located between the two retaining pieces, as a connecting element. In order that the flexural pivot can still be used after shocks or intermittent vibrations, a stop securing device is fitted to the flexural pivot. This stop securing device consists of at least one stop securing device piece which limits the movement range of the resilient piece in the flexural pivot to the elastic region, in the event of radial and axial stressing.

Filed: 1991-11-25
Abstract: To transmit analog modulated signals via an optical transmission fibre (such as AM-modulated TV signals via a local optical network), it is important that the noise is minimal. External modulation of the laser signal (a) is therefore preceded by filtering out the noise signal at least in the frequency range of the modulation signal (m), with the result that the modulated signal (c) is free of noise. 
     The occurrence of distortion as a consequence of external modulation by means of, for example, a Mach-Zehnder modulator is compensated for by adding the harmonics normally introduced by such a modulator to the modulation signal in phase opposition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for tuning at least one variable-frequency filter of a filter arrangement to a new selected frequency. Such a filter includes a unit for frequency variation which can move under the effect of a motor (M1-M5). The method is characterised in that a signal of the selected frequency is applied to the filter (F1-F5) and, during a first phase, the amplitude of the output signal from the filter is measured and the unit for frequency variation is positioned in the position where the amplitude of the signal is a maximum, and, during a second phase, on the basis of this maximum amplitude position, by measuring the amplitude of the output signal, the central position of the unit for which the selected frequency constitutes the frequency with respect to which the characteristic curve of the filter (F1-F5) is substantially symmetric, is established. The invention can be used for systems including filters with dielectric resonator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a protocol implemented in a communication system for exchanging data and control messages between adapters to which are attached different users, and a shared memory subsystem comprising a depository storage, a manager of storage and a microprocessor. Such protocol enables the adapters to be the initiators of the transmission and reception of data by using the control lines that connect the manager of storage to all adapters in the same way as the data bus and the address bus. Moreover, the adapters slice the messages into data bursts to which are associated control words specifying the sizes, the owner and the position of the burst in the message. Consequently, those data bursts may be interleaved when transiting on the data bus without the intervention of the microprocessor for the routing, and they will be stored in or read from the depository storage according to the identification of the user in the control word. Therefore, only the shared memory needs to have a high capacity of storage, whereas the manager of storage and the adapters can operate with a reduced capacity of storage, and the time to send or to access a data burst is much more improved.
