Abstract: La présente invention a pour but de proposer une structure de conduite flexible dans laquelle on limite le phénomène de déplacement transverse par flambage des éléments allongés d'une nappe d'armure de traction lors de la pose ou du service de la conduite en mer profonde. L'invention propose de réduire le jeu entre les éléments allongés de la nappe d'armure de traction afin de limiter les possibilités de déplacement transverse tout en conférant à la conduite la flexibilité et les caractéristiques mécaniques requises. Les éléments allongés restent libres de mouvements longitudinaux les uns par rapport aux autres pour assurer la flexibilité de la conduite.

Abstract: Mechanized structures for the launch of cars in installations for amusement parks
such as, for instance, roller coasters or similar attractions. 
     This is a mechanical system so as to launch cars (2) by exploiting the energy stored
by a counterweight (4) pivoting around an axis. 
     The counterweight (4) is integral with a beam (3) which carries, on the other end, a
pushing device (5) which, when it has to give the push, leans against the rear of any
car (2) of the train and pushes it along a semicircular track of launch and then it
leaves said car (2). 
     During pushing phase the counterweight (4) loses the stored energy and slows down
till it stops while the cars accelerate towards the predetermined track (1). 
     To allow the counterweight (4) to store again potential energy, an electromechanical
transmission with low power is sufficient; said transmission, in much longer time,
brings back the counterweight (4) to the highest point ready for a new launch at high
acceleration which, differently, would need a much higher power.

Abstract: The circuit for controlling two interrupters (K1,K2) in anti-parallel assembly comprises two identical control stages (10,20) each dedicated to one interrupter, and an impedance (30) inserted between the two stages for fixing the phase angle of closing the interrupters. Each stage comprises a controllable current source (14,24) for providing a current to the control electrode of the respective interrupter (K1,K2); a capacitor (C11,C21) for storing a supply voltage at least for the respective current source; an element (15,25) for activating-deactivating the current source as a function of the voltage at the capacitor of the stage; an assembly (18,28) for discharging the capacitor; and diodes (D11,D12,D13;D21,D22,D23).  The current source (14,24) is dimensioned for controlling the derivative di/dt at the closing of the interrupter (K1,K2). The assembly (18,28) for discharging the capacitor is activated by the disappearance of current in the interrupter (K1,K2). The capacitor (C11,C21) of each stage provides the electric supply necessary for all constituents of the stage. The capacitor (C11,C21) of each stage is in series with a diode (D12,D22) connected to the impedance (30). A diode (D11,D21) of each stage connects the impedance (30) to a terminal (3,2) of the anti-parallel assembly. A diode (D13,D23) connects the control electrode of the interrupter to the electrode of the capacitor (C11,C21) so that the assembly (18,28) also discharges the control electrode of the interrupter (K1,K2). The activating-deactivating element (15,25) activates the current source (14,24) when the voltage at the capacitor (C11,C21) becomes higher than a first reference (Vref), and also higher than the threshold voltage (Vth) of the interrupter (K1,K2). The current source (14,24) is deactivated when the voltage at the capacitor (C11,C21) becomes higher than a second threshold, and also lower than the threshold voltage (Vth) of the interrupter (K1,K2). Each discharging assembly (18,28) comprises transistors (T11,T12;T21,T22) and resistors (R11,R12;R21,R22). each activating-deactivating element (15,25) comprises a comparator (16,26). The impedance (30) is constituted of a potentiometer, or a resistor in parallel with another switchable resistor. A grader (claimed) of power of a load comprises the circuit (claimed). A circuit (claimed) for controlling a motor comprises the circuit.

Abstract: Multipath components of signals transmitted through time-varying digital radio
channels are received with individual delays, and signals through a given
channel comprise a code identifying that channel. A delay profile indicating a
magnitude ( Y ) for delay values in a search window is calculated repetitively
for known channels; the delays of multipath components for known channels
estimated; a signal strength indicator calculated; and a search for new multipath
components not already estimated performed at regular time intervals.
When a new multipath component is found, its identification code is compared
to the codes of the known channels. If the code of the new component
is identical to the code of a known channel, a delay profile and a signal
strength indicator is calculated for a window transposed to include the new
multipath component. In this way as many multipath components as possible
are included in the search window for a new cell.

Abstract: Internal domain 3 of seven transmembrane G protein-coupled
receptors is important for G protein binding or receptor
activity, and is well conserved. In H3 receptors, which are a
type of G protein-coupled receptor, this region is also
conserved in the same way. Therefore, as a result of using PCR
to intraduce point mutations into sequences encoding the region
in H3 receptor cDNA, H3 receptor mutants comprising extremely
strong constitutive activity could be successfully produced. The
present inventors further found that by using constitutively
active H3 receptor mutants, drug candidate compounds such as H3
receptor inverse agonists can be screened more easily and
efficiently.
