Abstract: L'invention concerne un plateforme flottante destinée à extraire du pétrole et du gaz à partir de champs gaziers et pétrolifères marins. Cette plateforme comprend une coque munie d'une partie située sensiblement en dessous de la surface de l'eau et d'une partie se prolongeant au-dessus de la surface de l'eau. Ladite plateforme est ancrée au fond marin par un ou plusieurs tendons fixés à la base de la coque et au fond marin. La capacité de charge utile de cette plateforme flottante peut être augmentée sans reconception structurale de la coque par fixation d'une extension de colonne ou par montage d'un module de flottabilité amovible à l'extrémité inférieure de la coque, ce qui permet de satisfaire aux différentes exigences de charge utile de cette plateforme.

Title: Drive roller control for toric-drive transmission
Inventor: CAREAU FERNAND
IPC: F16H61/664
Filed: 2002-09-05
Granted: 2011-06-21
Abstract: A toric-drive transmission comprising a drive disk adapted for receiving a drive input from actuation means. A driven disk is opposite the drive disk and adapted for transmitting motion to output means. Drive rollers are between the drive disk and the driven disk. The drive rollers have three rotational degrees of freedom. A first one of the rotational degrees of freedom is for transmitting motion from the drive disk to the driven disk. A second one of the rotational degrees of freedom changes an input-to- output ratio between the drive disk and the driven disk. A third one of the rotational degrees of freedom initiates rotation about the second one of the rotational degrees of freedom. Control means are provided for controlling motion of the drive rollers in the second and third ones of the rotational degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A system and method for the temporary closure of a wound, especially an abdominal wound, to facilitate re-entry, final closure, and long term healing of the wound. An abdominal wound dressing and methods of use are described that enable the application of negative pressure to the wound site in a site healing promoting manner while also limiting the formation of adhesions that would prevent the removal of the dressing. The dressing comprises a layer of porous foam material (36) enclosed by sheets of elastomeric material (38) punctuated by a number of appropriately placed holes (34). Multiple layers of porous foam may also be used. A suction tube connector (16) is provided on an upper surface of a layer of foam (12) for connection to a negative pressure source. At least one layer of foam is enclosed in elastomeric material and is placed in direct contact with the tissue within the open wound. Fluids are drawn by negative pressure through the holes positioned in the elastomeric envelope, and through the foam. If multiple foam layers are employed, the lower layer(s) of foam are of a finer porosity while the upper layer of foam is coarse. An adhesive elastomeric sheet (14) covers the entire wound dressing and seals the edges to the skin surrounding the wound. An appropriate vacuum device is attached to the suction tube connector.

Title: Transceiver apparatus and method for efficient high-speed data retransmission and decoding in a cdma mobile communication system
Inventor: MOON YONG-SUK
IPC: H04J13/18
Filed: 2002-10-18
Granted: 2007-09-25
Abstract: A method for retransmitting coded bits by a transmitter in response to a retransmission request from a receiver in a mobile communication system which separates coded bits output from an encoder into coded bits with higher priority and coded bits with lower priority, and transmits from the transmitter to the receiver a stream of symbols obtained by symbol mapping the coded bits by a specific modulation technique. The method comprises determining orthogonal codes available for retransmission; separating the coded bits with higher priority and the coded bits with lower priority into a plurality of sub-packets with a given size, and selecting a part of the sub-packets or sub-packets to be repeatedly transmitted, depending on the determined number of available orthogonal codes; and transmitting a stream of symbols obtained by symbol-mapping coded bits of the selected sub-packets by the specific modulation technique, with the determined available orthogonal codes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the enzymatic production of a curing agent in its fluid state, e.g. liquid, comprising, in free phase, at least one oxygenated chemical species. Said method consists in bringing into contact at least: one enzymatic catalysis agent, comprising at least one peroxidase-type enzyme; an oxidisable substrate in aqueous phase that can be oxidised by the action of an oxygen donor, by catalysis by said enzymatic catalysis agent, generating said oxygenated chemical species in free phase; and said oxygen donor. The inventive method is characterised in that: e) an aqueous reaction bath is formed comprising, in addition to the oxidisable substrate and the oxygen donor, said enzymatic catalysis agent in divided solid phase, but in free phase, distributed in said bath, which may be set in motion; f) the aqueous reaction bath is separated into a fraction enriched with the enzymatic catalysis agent in divided solid phase and a fraction free from said catalysis agent, from which the curing agent is obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for providing closed loop infusion formulation delivery which accurately calculates a delivery amount based on a sensed biological state by adjusting an algorithm's programmable control parameters. The algorithm calculates a delivery amount having proportional, derivative, and basal rate components. The control parameters may be adjusted in real time to compensate for changes in a sensed biological state that may result from daily events. Safety limits on the delivery amount may be included in the algorithm.  The algorithm may be executed by a computing element within a process controller for controlling closed loop infusion formulation delivery. The biological state is sensed by a sensing device which provides a signal to the controller. The controller calculates an infusion formulation delivery amount based on the signal and sends commands to an infusion formulation delivery device which delivers an amount of infusion formulation determined by the commands.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'un procédé de refroidissement des carcasses animales, de la température d'abattage à une température à laquelle la détérioration est en grande partie évitée. Ce procédé comprend la circulation d'air réfrigéré sur la carcasse, pour congeler la couche extérieure de ladite carcasse. Ensuite, on applique de l'eau à la carcasse pour y former une couche continue suffisante de glace. De préférence, ladite carcasse est réfrigérée au moyen d'un procédé de réfrigération rapide en plusieurs étapes. Dans ce procédé, la carcasse est exposée à de l'air surfondu à circulation très rapide. Immédiatement avant ou immédiatement après la formation de la couche de glace, la carcasse est transférée à une chambre frigorifique pour que l'intérieur et l'extérieur de ladite carcasse correspondent à la température évitant en grande partie sa détérioration. Les inventeurs ont constaté que ce procédé présente moins de perte d'humidité et de production bactériologique avant les procédés de test de résistance aux antimicrobiens qui consistent à appliquer de l'eau à la carcasse lors du procédé de réfrigération rapide.

Abstract: A system and method is described for controlling user (15) access to a carrier's shipping services for delivery of a package. The system controls the user (15') s access to the carrier's services by either limiting the selection of location from which a package can be shipped to fewer than those described by the carrier's service area, or by limiting the user (15') ability to select shipping service levels to fewer than those provided by the carrier. Such limitation may be by way of displaying only a limited collection of ship from locations and service levels, or by pre-populating, and locking sip from information submission fields on a web page. The distributed-user shipping system may reside on a client service (20) or mobile computer (30) that is connected to the carrier's server (35) and transmits various shipping location information and service level selections to the carrier to facilitate shipping of package while controlling the scope of shipping of packages while controlling the scope of shipping services provided.
