Patent EP-1203525-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MORI YUICHI
IPC: A01G27/06
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: There are provided a plant-cultivating container and
a plant-cultivating method which facilitate "water
control", which is particularly important in view of the
control of the gaseous environment in soil and the soil
moisture environment. In the above-mentioned plant-cultivating
container, a selective moisture vapor-permeable
portion which prevents water from passing
through it, but which allows water vapor to pass through
is provided as at least a portion of the container having
a receiving portion for receiving a plant body. Water
per se cannot pass into the container through the
selective moisture vapor-permeable portion, but water
vapor can selectively pass into the container. As a
result, the relative humidity in the container to a can
be increased degree which contribute to the growth of the
plant disposed in the container, and the frequency of
supply and/or the amount of water per se provided to a
plant by a measure such as irrigation can be, at least,
reduced markedly.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des méthodes permettant d'obtenir de nouveaux polynucléotides ainsi que des polypeptides codés et ce, en faisant intervenir des techniques non stochastiques d'évolution dirigée (Direct EvolutionTM). Ces méthodes de réassemblage d'acide nucléique induit par l'exonucléase présentent un avantage particulier, savoir la capacité à réassembler des brins nucléotidiques qui, autrement, poseraient des problèmes s'agissant de leur chimérisation. On peut utiliser ces méthodes de réassemblage d'acide nucléique induit par l'exonucléase, associées à d'autres méthodes de mutagenèse décrites dans cette invention. Ces méthodes reposent sur la mutagenèse à saturation de site polynucléotidique non stochastique (Gene Site Saturation MutagenesisTM) ainsi que sur le réassemblage polynucléotidique non stochastique (Gene ReassemblyTM). Cette invention porte également sur des méthodes d'obtention de nouvelles enzymes aux propriétés physiques et/ou biologiques optimisées. Il est possible, grâce à ces méthodes, de faire évoluer des vaccins génétiques, des enzymes, de petites molécules et d'autres molécules souhaitées vers des propriétés voulues. On peut par exemple obtenir des vecteurs de vaccins à efficacité accrue et les utiliser comme vaccins génétiques. Les vecteurs obtenus grâce à ces méthodes peuvent présenter, par exemple, une expression antigénique accrue, une assimilation accrue dans la cellule, une stabilité accrue dans la cellule, une capacité à adapter la réponse immunitaire, et analogue. Par ailleurs, cette invention concerne des procédés de préparation de diverses nouvelles molécules actives du point de vue biologique dans le domaine des antibiotiques, de la pharmacothérapie, et des caractères transgéniques.

Abstract: Single cell (10) laminated polymeric rechargeable battery sheets are folded in irregularly alternating directions (24 and 26) about parallel fold axes to provide battery cell structures presenting available terminal locations (23 and 25) requiring reduced collector element current travel distance to thereby significantly reduce battery impedance. An embodiment enables the use of equilateral cell sheets (21) which are folded about orthogonal axes in two dimensions to yield battery cells with exceptionally high ratios of active area to collector-origin impedance.

Title: Method for controlling an electromagnetic actuator for activating a gas exchange valve on a reciprocating internal combustion engine
Inventor: BOIE CHRISTIAN
IPC: F01L9/20
Filed: 2000-05-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an electromagnetic actuator for activating a gas exchange valve on a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said gas exchange valve having two electromagnets that are set apart from each other and between which an armature that acts on the gas exchange valve against the force of at least one return spring is guided in such a way that it can move back and forth between the pole faces of the two electromagnets. The electromagnets are alternately subjected to a receiving current by means of a control unit and the movement of the armature on its path from one pole face to the other is detected by means of a sensor unit. Actual values relating to the movement of the armature are detected by the sensor unit in a first phase (I) beginning with the start of the release of the armature from the pole face of the holding electromagnet; the receiving electromagnet is controlled by the control unit in terms of the supply of current, according to the detected actual values relating to the movement of the armature, in a second phase (II), in such a way that the armature moves at a predetermined speed and with an acceleration around zero, within a predetermined range away from the pole face of the receiving electromagnet; and in a third phase (III), the supply of current of the receiving electromagnet is influenced in such a way that the armature meets the pole face at a predetermined minimum speed.

Cet interféromètre comprend une première plaque en verre couplée optiquement à une seconde plaque en verre, tout en formant un espace entre elles; une première couche réfléchissante présentant une première réflectivité dans l'espace précité et sur la première plaque en verre; une seconde couche réfléchissante présentant une seconde réflectivité dans l'espace précité et sur la seconde plaque en verre; une première lame-onde présentant un premier retardateur optique dans l'espace précité; et une seconde lame-onde présentant un second retardateur optique, couplée optiquement à la première plaque en verre et située à l'extérieur de l'espace précité, une combinaison de valeurs pour la première réflectivité, le premier retardateur optique, et le second retardateur optique effectuant une séparation de canaux dans au moins un signal optique en au moins deux ensembles lesquels présentent des bandes passantes entrelacées de manière asymétrique. L'interféromètre à bande passante asymétrique peut séparer les canaux des signaux à des débits de transfert de données différents. Grâce à cette invention, on peut maximiser l'utilisation de la largeur de bande disponible sur une fibre optique. Une autre fonctionnalité de l'interféromètre à bande passante réside dans sa capacité à faciliter la fonction d'ajout/extraction asymétrique ou inégale tout en séparant les canaux.
