Abstract: The mechanism to clamp the underwinding of a yarn at a spindle of a textile machine, and especially a ring spinner, has a clamping ring (15) at the spindle under the cop on it, and a clamping sleeve (20) with an axial sliding movement between an open and a closed position (I,II). The clamping sleeve (20) is moved by at least one magnet (30) into either a closed position (II) defined by the clamping ring (25) or held in an open position (I) defined by the shoulder (40).  The clamping sleeve (20) is linked to an operating unit (22) to give it the axial movement between the open (I) and closed (II) positions. The axial rotating clamping sleeve can be fitted with at least two pairs of magnets with an alternating south pole/north pole sequence, and the clamping ring (15) has at least one pair of magnets of like poles. The clamping sleeve operating unit gives it an axial rotation out of the open position (I) into the closed position (II). The lower shoulder bonded to the spindle, to define the open position (I), has at least one pair of magnets to work with the magnets at the clamping sleeve. The magnets at the clamping ring (15) and the shoulder each have one magnet offset against the other by 180 deg , where the magnets have a like polarity with the magnets at the clamping sleeve. The paired magnets are shaped magnets. The operating unit (22) has two magnets to give a non-contact axial sliding movement to the clamping sleeve, between the open (I) and closed (II) positions. The clamping sleeve has a metal section extending into the working range between the magnets of the operating unit (22). The operating unit (22) is activated by a mobile maintenance and service unit, which travels along the spinning machine past each of the spinning stations.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un facteur actif présent dans des tissus cérébraux homogénéisés inhibant la prolifération induite par antigène des lymphocytes dans une culture, mais stimulant la prolifération en réponse à la plupart des mitogènes. Il est possible d'annihiler l'activité inhibitrice par un traitement à base de protéases ou de neuraminadase. L'activité se situe dans la fraction insoluble de l'homogénéisat, mais la solubilité apparaît dans du NaOH concentré à 0,04 M. Après une chromatographie à filtration en milieu gélifié du matériau soluble NaOH, l'activité inhibitrice apparaît dans la fraction à poids moléculaire élevé, ce qui donne une élution dans le volume vide de la colonne. La fraction renferme des protéines et des hydrates de carbone. L'activité n'est pas affectée par la neutralisation des anticorps vis-à-vis des cytokines régulatrices, elle n'est pas Fas ou FasL dépendante, et elle n'est pas imputable à la présence de gangliosides. Cela tend à montrer qu'une glycoprotéine cérébrale, membranaire ou appartenant à la matrice extracellulaire, produit de puissants effets immunorégulateurs en culture.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détection de la présence d'un point de raccordement (40) et d'autres types de défauts dans une ligne de transmission (30). Des signaux d'essai de fréquences prédéterminées sont transmis à une extrémité de transmission (10) d'une ligne de transmission (30). Les signaux d'essai sont reçus à une extrémité de réception (20) de la ligne de transmission (30) et les amplitudes des signaux reçus sont mesurées. Une réponse en fréquence de la ligne de transmission (30) est calculée sur la base des amplitudes mesurées. La réponse en fréquence est ensuite analysée pour détecter la présence d'une signature de domaine de fréquence correspondant à un des types de fautes détectables. La présence d'un point de raccordement (40) ou d'un autre type de faute est identifiée sur la base de la signature de domaine de fréquence détectée. Cette signature de domaine de fréquence associée à un point de raccordement (40) peut comporter un ensemble d'inflexions d'atténuation dans la réponse en fréquence, chaque inflexion d'atténuation correspondant à un minimum local dans la réponse en fréquence. La longueur (1) du point de raccordement (40) peut être estimé sur la base d'une fréquence fondamentale de l'ensemble d'inflexions d'atténuation harmoniquement apparentées. La localisation du point de raccordement (40) dans la ligne de transmission (30) peut, en outre, être estimé par un test de réflectomètrie dans le domaine temporel (TDR).
