Title: Masking agent in powder form for pharmaceutical flavours
Inventor: FELISAZ DENIS
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 1998-12-02
Abstract: A powdered agent to mask the taste of pharmaceutical compositions comprises a flavoring (I) and a potentiator (II) in the form of an intimate and essentially homogeneous mixture, the proportion of (I) and (II) in each particle of the mixture are constant. The flavoring (I) is preferably a sweetener, such as sodium or calcium saccharinates, saccharin, aspartyl-phenylalanine, acesulfame, cyclamates, and stevioside. The poteniators (II) increase the perception of the taste of (I) and mask its off flavors; typically these are thaumatine, neohesperidine dihydrochalcone (NHDC), glycyrrhyzine, and their mixtures. The mixtures are prepared by dissolving (I) and (II) and spray drying this to form a homogeneous powder. The particle size of the final product is preferably 10 - 100 mu m, with a Gaussian distribution. The weight ratio of (I) : (II) is preferably in the range 97:3 - 90:10

Title: Power/ground metallization routing in a semiconductor device
Inventor: BRUNOLLI MICHAEL J
IPC: H01L27/02
Filed: 1998-12-02

Title: Serrure electrique
Inventor: HINGSTON NEIL RICHARD
IPC: E05B63/00
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne une serrure électrique. Le fonctionnement de la serrure peut être changé par l'utilisateur par réglage d'un composant de commutation (14) dans l'actionneur de verrou. Ce réglage s'opère conjointement avec le déclenchement du fonctionnement électrique de la serrure au moyen d'un simple commutateur cavalier (25). Cette conception, dans laquelle le mode de fonctionnement (c'est à dire, fermeture sous maintien ou ouverture sous maintien) peut être choisi par l'utilisateur, permet de commercialiser la serrure, fabriquée selon la présente invention, selon un modèle unique. La serrure est aussi équipée d'un système manuel de priorité (101), de préférence à clé, qui fonctionne de manière mécanique et/ou électrique. Cette réalisation se substitue au fonctionnement normal de la serrure. La serrure décrite selon la présente invention se présente en un seul bloc, compact, et demande peu de réglage pour son installation et son fonctionnement. Ladite serrure contient de plus une possibilité de détection automatique (20,21,22,23) de la tension d'alimentation qui lui est appliquée.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for checking the effect of swirl ducts in multi-cylinder internal combustion engines, in particular direct injection engine, whereby turbulence indices are determined by means of a device measuring turbulence in a simultaneous cylinder capable of being connected to a cylinder head and are compared with a turbulence tolerance band, particular to the engine. The invention is characterised in that in the event of an important tolerance variation with respect to the turbulence tolerance band on the basis of a tolerance index outside the turbulence tolerance band, the transverse section of the swirl duct and/or of the corresponding filling duct in the cylinder head is then consequently shaped or produced in either smaller or larger dimension in one cross-section.

Abstract: Black-and-white elements, such as radiographic films, can be
processed in roomlight because the developing composition includes a water-soluble
colorant. Such colorants are water-soluble dyes that have a maximum
absorption wavelength of from 350 to 500 nm. Processing is carried out by
processing the exposed element using a two-stage process in the same processing
container. In the first stage, development is initiated with an opaque developing
composition having a pH of from 10 to 12.5, and comprising an appropriate black-and-white
developing agent, a yellow colorant, and a sulfite. After an appropriate
time, a fixing agent (other than a sulfite) is introduced into the processing
container to begin simultaneous development and fixing. The entire process in

Abstract: To make a variable phase shifter at low cost and
that is easy to manufacture, two propagation paths (3, 4)
for a high frequency signal are provided in parallel
between the input (1) and the output (2) of the phase
shifter. These two paths are of different lengths. An
intermediate node (7) on one of the paths is connected to
an intermediate node (9) on the other path by a PIN diode
(5). The diode is connected to the paths by a segment of
line (24) further enhancing the length difference. By
biasing (14-19) the diode to a desired level, it is
caused to present a particular impedance to propagation.
It is shown that by acting in this way the diode can vary
the phase shift between the input and the output without
needing to use harmful reactive components.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble cartouche de filtre comprenant une cartouche de filtre dotée d'un milieu filtrant généralement cylindrique définissant un espace central cylindrique; et deux bouchons d'extrémité fixés aux extrémités opposées du milieu filtrant. Idéalement, la cartouche de filtre est 'sans noyau' du fait qu'elle ne comprend pas de structure centrale de support intégrée. Au moins un des bouchons d'extrémité (par exemple le bouchon d'extrémité proximal) est annulaire et présente une surface intérieure cylindrique définissant un espace intérieur aligné avec l'espace central. Une jupe de scellement tronquée de forme généralement conique est fonctionnellement associée aux bouchons d'extrémité annulaires. La cartouche de filtre est chemisée au-dessus d'une structure centrale de support réutilisable qui comprend une base dotée d'une jupe de scellement tronquée de forme conique, et un élément central tubulaire, rigide et perforé qui est fixé à une extrémité de la base. Le bouchon d'extrémité annulaire et la base de la structure centrale de support sont mécaniquement couplés amovibles l'un à l'autre, idéalement par raccordement fileté. De cette manière, la jupe de scellement coopère coulissante avec la jupe de scellement de la base. La base de la structure centrale de support comprend idéalement une protubérance de siège servant de support à des bagues d'étanchéité (par exemple des joints toriques classiques). La protubérance de siège est donc adaptée pour être disposée amovible, mais par scellement, à l'intérieur d'une structure de siège concave intérieure d'un logement de filtre classique.
