Abstract: Method for processing a coloured image, comprising grey tones and colour tones. The method comprises the steps of converting the coloured image into an e.g. upgraded grey tone image. One or more colour tone images are constituted by e.g. blue-yellow rated pixels, or red-green rated pixels, respectively. In the upgraded grey tone image, the presence and strength of relevant grey tone edges in the image is determined. Next, the edges determined in the upgraded grey tone image, are mapped into said coloured image or into said one or more colour tone images. Finally, the coloured image or one or more colour tone images are upgraded with an upgrading process, where this upgrading process depends on edges in the grey-tone image.

Abstract: The method involves mounting a sleeve (11) of a cylindrical shaped extraction device on a base (4a) of a nut (4) and a hub (7) of a pulley (3) with 22 teeth of a high-pressure pump. The hub is axially locked by the nut mounted on an end of a driving shaft (5), where the sleeve solidarises axially the nut and the pulley. The nut is unscrewed so as to cause split of the pulley from the shaft of the pump due to pressure exerted by the device on the pulley. The pulley is removed from the shaft.

Abstract: In a magneto-rheological variable damper (6), the piston (16) comprises an inner yoke (32), an outer yoke (31) concentrically surrounding the inner yoke (32; 126) and held in position by pair of end plates (33, 34) made of non-magnetic material and disposed on either axial end surfaces of the piston. The piston may be circumferentially surrounded by a piston cover (30) that may be made of non-magnetic material and serves a slide member that engages the inner circumferential surface of a cylinder (12). Alternatively, the end plates (33, 34) may serve as the slide member. In either case, the durability of the damper (6) can be improved by using a wear resistant material for the slide member. In particular, the outer yoke (31; 140) may be made of material such as Permendur which has a high saturation magnetic flux density but a poor mechanical property. Thereby, the range of the damping force can be expanded. The slide member may be made of non-magnetic material having a favorable wear resistance such as austenite stainless steel and aluminum alloy. It is also possible to apply a plating or other surface processing to the sliding surface of the slide member to improve the wear resistance thereof.

Abstract: A mounting structure is disclosed that is capable of reliably installing a compact camera module into a socket while maintaining a good electrical connection between them. The mounting structure includes an electrode pad formed in a lower portion of the compact camera module, a contacting member having a contacting end and a springy portion disposed in the socket, and a depressed portion formed on the lower portion of the compact camera module to accommodate the springy portion of the contacting member so that the lower portion of the compact camera module does not make contact with the springy portion of the contacting member when the lower portion of the compact camera module is inserted into the socket. Therefore, the springy portion supplies a sufficiently large springy force to reliably bright the contacting end into contact with the electrode pad, and this maintains a good electrical connection between the contacting end and the electrode pad.

Filed: 2008-02-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne le domaine technologique de la production de protéines et de la culture cellulaire. La protéine CERT est identifiée comme nouveau substrat de la PKD in vivo. La phosphorylation sur la sérine 132 par la PKD réduit l'affinité de la CERT avec sa cible lipidique phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate au niveau des membranes de Golgi et réduit l'activité de transfert de céramide, identifiant la PKD comme un régulateur de l'homéostasie lipidique. La présente invention démontre que la CERT est également essentielle pour l'activation de la PKD et le transport de protéines dépendantes de la PKD vers la membrane plasmatique. L'interdépendance de la PKD et de la CERT est ainsi essentielle pour le maintien de l'intégrité des membranes de Golgi et du transport des sécrétions.
