Title: Dispositif et procede pour creer des particules spheriques de taille uniforme
Inventor: GANAN CALVO ALFONSO
IPC: C02F3/20
Filed: 1998-12-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des dispositifs de différents types permettant de créer des particules sphériques, dont la taille varie entre 0,1 et 100 microns. Le dispositif comprend une source de courant gazeux amenée à traverser un liquide gardé sous pression dans une chambre sous pression, laquelle présente un orifice de sortie. Le courant gazeux entouré de liquide à l'intérieur de cette chambre sous pression s'écoule sous la forme d'un liquide par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice de sortie de ladite chambre, créant ainsi une monodispersion de bulles d'un diamètre sensiblement uniforme. Ces bulles, d'une petite taille, sont produites à partir d'une quantité d'énergie relativement faible par rapport à celle de systèmes comparables, de petites particules de liquides pouvant également être produites. Cette technique peut par exemple être utilisée pour oxygéner des eaux usées au moyen de monodispersions de bulles, ou servir dans une inhalothérapie utilisant des dispersions d'aérosol monodispersé de médicaments pharmaceutiquement actifs.

IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 1999-11-02
Abstract: The performance of a CDMA receiver employing multiple antennas can be
improved, in accordance with the principles of the invention, by directly combining
together appropriately weighted signals from the rake receiver fingers that are being
supplied by at least two different antennas, i.e., they are in two different receiver modules
each of which is what would have been called in the prior art a rake receiver module but
without the associated summer, to develop an output with at least as good, and more
likely an improved, signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR), as compared to the
prior art rake receiver architecture. By doing so the functionality of the beamforming
coefficients and the rake multiplier vectors is joined, and it is possible to optimize the
rake receiver performance. In other words, because of the inventive architecture, the
optimization of the weights for the rake multiplier and the beam forming may be
performed jointly to yield a single rake combining weight vector which optimally weights
the output of each rake finger. A training sequence which is used to determine the rake
combining weight vector may be received as a low bit-rate signal carried on the CDMA
pilot signal.

Abstract: Dans cette invention, on a conçu un moyen de criblage permettant de modifier génétiquement des agents pathogènes microbiens, de façon à pouvoir réguler l'expression de gènes spécifiques in vitro. Ce moyen de criblage permet également, lors d'une infection de l'hôte, de faciliter l'identification des gènes bactériens essentiels à la persistance de l'infection. En particulier, on utilise pour réguler l'expression de gènes bactériens endogènes, des éléments de régulation génique réagissant à la présence ou à l'absence de tétracycline. Comme la tétracycline n'est normalement pas présente chez les animaux, on peut réguler in vivo un gène microbien régulé par la tétracycline, en ajoutant la tétracycline au régime alimentaire d'animaux infectés, ou en la supprimant.

Abstract: A welding system (10) for real-time weld quality detection during resistance welding of a workpiece (26, 28) has a sensor assembly (66) including a winding (68) and a core (70) mounted generally coaxially within the cylinder (32) of the welding gun (30). A piston (34, 36) and piston rod (38) assembly are mounted for coaxial movement within the cylinder (32). The piston rod (38) has an end protruding from the cylinder (32) for affixing an electrode (16) thereto. Axial movement of the piston rod (38) relative to the cylinder (32) causes axial movement of the core (70) relative to the winding (68) to vary a length of core and winding overlap. The sensor assembly (66) produces an output signal based on the length of core and winding overlap to indicate piston rod position relative to the cylinder (32). Weld control logic (76) receiving the sensor assembly output controls welding of the workpiece (26, 28) in real-time.

Abstract: The inventive bindings have a symmetrical construction in relation to a vertical longitudinal plane of a ski. When the ski (1) is subjected to a stress on one side only or when a greater stress is placed on one longitudinal ski edge (1') than the other, the release resistance produced crosswise to the ski, towards the stressed longitudinal ski edge (1'') is different to that which is produced towards the relatively unstressed longitudinal ski edge. This optimises the release behaviour of the binding for skiing with the edge engaged on one side only, especially for skiing a bend or skiing diagonally to the slope.
