Abstract: An aqueous colloidal dispersion of at least one lanthanide compound and a complexing agent with a pK (cologarithm of the dissociation constant of the complex formed by the complexing agent and the lanthanide cation) or more than 2.5. The dispersion can also include a compound of at least one other element selected from groups IVa, Va, VIIa, VIIa, VIII, Ib and IIb of the periodic table. A process for preparing the dispersion starts by forming an aqueous mixture comprising at least one lanthanide salt, optionally a salt of one of the elements mentioned, and the complexing agent. A base is added to the mixture, which is heated to obtain the dispersion. Methods that use the dispersion are also disclosed.

Title: Methods of surface treatment for enhancing the performance of a floating phakic refractive  intraocular lens design
Inventor: VALYUNIN IGOR

Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2008-12-17
Abstract: A method of preparing phakic intraocular lenses from hydrophobic materials is described. In this process, the lens is tested to determine whether it can float submerged in an aqueous medium. If it cannot (e.g., if it remains on top of the aqueous medium), the lens is surface treated (for example, by vacuum UV or corona discharge processes) to increase its wetting ability (e.g., to reduce its hydrophobicity). The lenses prepared by this process are also described.

Abstract: In a telecommunications system, in which a connection comprises a part with an interworking function at both ends, a channel is allocated to the connection between the interworking functions. The required channel capabilities may vary during the connection, whereby the channel capabilites should be changed. When the first interworking function detects that a channel capability must be changed, a first message, which indicates the desired capability change, is transmitted (2-1) to the second interworking function; and the channel capability is changed (2-3, 2-5) into the desired one at both ends of the part. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A voted processing system (18) includes at least three processor groupings (20) coupled to a voter (22). Each processor grouping (20) includes a central processing unit (CPU) (24) and a support logic device (28). The CPUs (24) operate synchronously to execute an operating step every clock cycle. Each operating step of each CPU (24) is accomplished in parallel and substantially simultaneously with each other. The support logic devices (28), such as memory controllers or bus interfaces, are coupled to the CPUs (24). The voter (22) is coupled to all of the processor groupings (20). The voter (22) uses redundant voting to detect errors in any one of the processor groupings (20). An error is detected if a minority of the processor groupings (20) disagrees with a majority of the processor groupings (20). When an error is detected, the majority of processor groupings (20) are considered the correct output while the remaining processor groupings (20) are reset (Fig. 2).

Abstract: A probe device for use in non-invasive optical measurements of at least one parameter of the patient's blood. The probe device comprises a finger holder in the form of a clip member that secures a fingertip between its clamping legs. The probe device supports a measuring unit for applying optical measurements to a measurement location on the finger and carries a pressurizing assembly operable for applying controllably variable, substantially under-systolic pressure to the finger in the vicinity of the measurement location. Several measurement sessions are performed at the measurement location with at least two different wavelength of incident light to detect light response of the medium and generate measured data indicative thereof, and the pressure applied to the vicinity of the measurement location is simultaneously varied during measurements. The light response of the medium corresponding to different wavelength of the incident light and different pressure values during measurements. The light response of the medium corresponding to different wavelength of the incident light and different pressure values is analyzed, and an optimal pressure value is determined, so as to utilize the corresponding light response of the medium for deriving therefrom the at least on blood parameter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une bride de serrage d'un dispositif de serrage de plaque réfractaire dans un appui d'une vanne coulissante d'une installation de coulée. Ladite bride est dotée, d'une part, d'une zone de poussée sur laquelle une force de serrage peut s'appliquer de façon à pousser la bride contre une plaque réfractaire placée sur l'appui et, d'autre part, de deux extrémités, chacune pouvant s'appliquer contre une arête de la plaque réfractaire. La bride de serrage se caractérise en ce qu'elle peut se déformer élastiquement, que chacune de ses extrémités est conformée de façon à reposer sur l'arête correspondante de la plaque réfractaire lorsqu'une force de serrage est appliquée à la bride, et que cette dernière est également déformée de façon à également reposer sur la paroi du siège sous l'effet de la dilatation de la plaque ou d'une force de serrage plus grande. La bride de serrage est intéressante notamment parce qu'elle s'adapte automatiquement à la géométrie de la plaque qu'elle doit immobiliser, ainsi, les variations de formes entre les plaques, du fait de leur procédé de fabrication, n'engendrent aucun problème de serrage.
