Title: Coal-fired power plant, and method for operating coal-fired power plant
Inventor: HAYASHI YOSHIHARU
IPC: F01K9/00
Filed: 2011-02-07
Abstract: Disclosed is a coal-fired power plant provided with a first flow rate control valve which adjusts the amount of water flowing through a water supply bypass system, a second flow rate control valve disposed on an air extraction pipe which extracts steam from a steam turbine, a first temperature sensor disposed on the downstream side of a heat recovery device, and a second temperature sensor disposed on the downstream side of a heat exchanger. Moreover, the coal-fired power plant is provided with a control unit, which adjusts the aperture of the first and second flow rate control valves on the basis of the exhaust gas temperature detected by means of the first temperature sensor and the water supply temperature detected by means of the second temperature sensor. As a consequence, it is possible to prevent the reliability and efficiency of the plant from deteriorating, even when the exhaust gas temperature or the exhaust gas flow rate fluctuates as a result of the boiler deteriorating over time and when the amount of heat collected by means of the heat recovery device disposed on the smoke path fluctuates.

Title: Method and system for detecting regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms
Inventor: MACINTYRE GEOFF
IPC: G16B30/10
Filed: 2011-04-12
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting a regulatory single nucleotide polymorphism (rSNP). The method comprises determining a first score representative of a transcription factor binding affinity of a first allele, and a second score representative of a transcription factor binding affinity of a second allele. The first and second alleles are associated with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and the first score differs from the second score representing a change in the transcription factor binding affinity. A statistical significance value of the change in transcription factor binding affinity represented by the first score and the second score is then determined and compared with a threshold to determine whether the SNP is an rSNP. This disclosure also concerns a computer system and a computer program for detecting a regulatory single nucleotide polymorphism (rSNP).

Title: Coupling system, applicator tool, attachment ring and method for connecting a conduit to biological tissue
Inventor: HOARAU CARINE
IPC: A61B17/064
Filed: 2012-02-27
Abstract: A coupling system includes an applicator tool and an attachment ring mounted on the applicator tool. Clips are contained within the applicator tool and are deployed through the attachment ring in order to anchor the attachment ring to biological tissue. When deployed, tips of the clips follow a curved trajectory through an annular cuff of the attachment ring and through the underlying tissue. The tips loop back out of the tissue and to a location where they are later trapped or clamped by the attachment ring. While the tips are trapped or clamped, the applicator tool cinches the clips by pulling rear segments of the clips. Thereafter, the applicator tool disconnects from the attachment ring which remains anchored to the tissue and serves as a coupling for a cannula. The cannula can have movable lock members that secure it to the attachment ring.
