Abstract: An EAS tag in which the tag is held to an article by an attaching assembly a part of which is releasably prevented from being withdrawn from the body of the tag. The tag body is provided with an arcuate channel through which an arcuate detacher probe can be guided for releasing the attaching assembly part. A spring clamp provides the releasable preventing function and includes jaws specifically adapted to respond to in-plane torsional forces provided by the arcuate probe which is moved through the arcuate channel by rotation to reach the spring clamp. An abutment and spring gate mechanism is placed within the arcuate channel to prevent a relatively rigid wire formed into an arcuate shape from being used to release the attaching assembly part.

Abstract: A readily attachable window assembly for efficient installation and maintenance of aircraft windows is provided. The aircraft has a sidewall having an inner perimeter that defines an opening. The window assembly includes an outer window frame. A center window frame is attached to the outer window frame, and an inner window frame is attached to the center window frame. The inner window frame is readily attachable to the sidewall adjacent to the opening of the inner perimeter. The inner window frame includes a releasable coupling mechanism that includes first and second engaging mechanisms that positionally lock the first mechanism to the second mechanism via a torsion spring assembly and engageable teeth of each mechanism. The first engaging mechanism is locked onto the sidewall when torque is applied through at least one pinhole.

Abstract: Chapeau comprenant une bande élastique sur le bord de la calotte pour maintenir un chapeau sur la tête. L'élasticité longitudinale de la bande n'est pas uniforme sur toute sa largeur. En fait, l'élasticité est supérieure dans la région qui est proche du bord de la bande par rapport à une seconde région proche de l'autre bord de la bande. Cette bande est confortable pour celui qui porte le chapeau parce qu'elle serre la tête moins fortement dans la seconde région que dans la première. En même temps, toute la largeur de la bande contribue à maintenir le chapeau sur la tête. Cette bande peut également être utilisée pour maintenir d'autres vêtements en place sur leur porteur.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, lorsqu'un signal vidéo compressé est lu, un bruit de bloc en forme de mosaïque apparaît. Ce bruit de bloc est éliminé. Toutefois, l'élimination du bruit de bloc de tous les blocs, à l'aide d'un filtre de dégroupage, constitue une charge trop importante pour le filtre de dégroupage. Pour réduire cette charge, il suffit de déterminer s'il est nécessaire d'éliminer la distorsion de codage et d'utiliser un filtre de dégroupage selon les besoins.

Title: Diagnostic testing process and apparatus

IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 2002-08-20
Granted: 2012-06-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a flow through assay process is disclosed. The method is characterised by a "pre-incubation step" in which the sample which is to be analysed, (typically for the presence of a particular protein), and a detection analyte (typically an antibody bound to colloidal gold or a fluorescent tag) which is known to bind to the particular protein may bind together for a desired period of time. This pre incubation step occurs before the mixture of sample and detection analyte come into contact with a capture analyte bound to a membrane. The provision of the pre-incubation step has the effect of both improving the sensitivity of the assay and reducing the volume of sample required for an assay. An apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed defining a pre-incubation chamber for receiving the sample and detection analyte having a base defined by a membrane and a second membrane to which a capture analyte is bound. In one version the pre-incubation chamber is supported above the second membrane in one position but can be pushed into contact with the membrane carrying the capture analyte thus permitting fluid transfer from the incubation chamber through the capture membrane. In another version the membrane at the base of the incubation chamber is hydrophobic and its underside contacts the capture membrane and when a wetting agent is applied to the contents of the pre-incubation chamber fluid transfer occurs.

La comparaison (106) consiste à comparer la valeur de chacun des éléments x' sélectionnés du premier ensemble à la valeur de l'élément y' correspondant de la pluralité d'éléments du second ensemble conformément à un critère de correspondance prédéterminé pour savoir si la pluralité d'éléments du premier ensemble ordonné correspond à la pluralité d'éléments du second ensemble ordonné. La comparaison est ensuite répétée avec une nouvelle sélection de la pluralité d'éléments x' du premier ensemble et/ou une nouvelle sélection d'un élément y du second ensemble ordonné générant une mesure V de similarité comme fonction du nombre de correspondances. A la suite d'une comparaison pour laquelle le résultat est une correspondance, la comparaison suivante est de préférence effectuée avec une nouvelle sélection de la pluralité d'éléments x' du premier ensemble et la même sélection d'un élément y du second ensemble.

Abstract: A weight is attached to the rear side of a magnetic circuit of a speaker unit. The tip of a boss that projects to the front side from the weight is joined to the rear side of a center pole of the magnetic circuit with a bolt. Even if reactive force that is generated when an electrical signal is converted into mechanical vibration by the magnetic circuit and a voice coil and sound waves are emitted from a vibration plate is transmitted to the magnetic circuit, the vibration of the magnetic circuit is suppressed by the weight. In this manner, sound quality with a good transient characteristic can be obtained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un composant pour dispositif de formation de film permettant de former un film mince sur un substrat au moyen d'une matière de formation de film et possédant une structure telle qu'un film collé peut facilement être retiré en peu de temps lors d'un lavage, même si le composant est formé dans cette structure de surface, de telle façon que le film collé est difficile à endommager et à retirer par pelage. Cette invention a aussi trait à un procédé de lavage du composant. Un nombre important de trous traversants s'étalant de la surface arrière à la surface avant du composant permettent au liquide de lavage de pénétrer dans une surface limite entre le composant dudit dispositif de formation de film et le film collé constitué de la matière de formation de film collé sur la surface du composant, lorsque le film mince est formé. Ainsi, le film collé peut être facilement retiré par pelage du film en un temps plus court qu'au cas où le film collé sur la surface avant ne se dissout qu'avec le liquide de lavage.
