Title: Procedes et appareil d'echantillonnage d'aromes de produits
Inventor: ROHLEDER PETER J
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et un appareil permettant à des consommateurs de goûter, avant de l'acheter, l'arôme d'un produit fini même si le produit vendu n'est pas terminé. En outre, ces procédés et cet appareil fournissent aux consommateurs un produit comportant un arôme de référence qui peut être utilisé pour déterminer si le produit peut être utilisé, puisque, avant l'achat, les consommateurs peuvent goûter un arôme sélectionné d'un produit de consommation dans lequel un arôme particulier a été intensifié. Parmi d'autres avantages, la présente invention permet aux commerçants d'utiliser des modalités sensorielles additionnelles, en particulier l'odorat, en offrant des produits à la vente, et permettant ainsi aux consommateurs de prendre des décisions d'achat de façon mieux informée. Un mode de réalisation préféré du procédé de la présente invention consiste à caractériser un arôme d'un produit de consommation à l'état fini, à synthétiser l'arôme, en réaction à la caractérisation, et à associer l'arôme synthétisé au produit de consommation.

Abstract: A method of identifying a compound with efficacy in the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease by testing the compound for an ability to selectively inhibit the ability of T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine release from a monocyte is disclosed. The method includes pre-incubatin T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells with a compound to be tested, optionally resuspending the T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells in the absence of the test compound, co-culturing the T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells with monocytes, and assaying for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the monocytes. The T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells are produced by incubating a population of T cells with one or more cytokines or the T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells are isolated from synovial tissue. The T<SUB>ck </SUB>cells have not been contacted with an anti-CD3 antibody. The ability to selectively inhibit cytokine release indicates that the compound has efficacy in the treatment of chronic inflammatory disease.

Abstract: Chromium powder, alone or as a mixture, and with the required final weight of chromium, is mixed with copper powder, its weight being 5-15 wt% deficient in comparison with the copper content of the final contact material. Pressing takes place at 200-1000 MPa, forming a porus blank having 75%-90% of the theoretical density. This is coated with sufficient copper to make up the deficit. In high vacuum, heating takes place to or above the melting point of copper, sintering to a chromium- or copper-chromium matrix, impregnated with copper from the coating. At this stage the copper content is increased beyond that of the pressing and the density is 96%-98% of theoretical. Deformation by at least 30%, during extrusion with directed extension follows, drawing the chrome to filaments in the direction of extension, to form a directed structure. The unfinished contact blank material then has at least 99%, especially 99.5%-99.9 %, of the theoretical density. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding contact component. Its tensile strength and electrical conductivity parallel to extension are each at least 10% greater than in the transverse direction.

Abstract: A unique protection circuit for a sealed compressor incorporates oil structure
which directs a heated oil onto a motor protection circuit. The motor protection
circuit is of the type which shuts down operation of an electric motor when a
predetermined temperature is sensed. The motor protection circuit is positioned
adjacent to an oil return path which is opened when a high temperature is
experienced in the compressor pump unit. The valve in the path opens to allow flow
of the returned oil onto the motor protection switch. The motor protection switch is
then actuated to stop further operation of the motor. In another embodiment, the
motor protection switch is immersed in the oil sump. Again, when the oil
temperature increases to a predetermined amount, the motor protection switch stops
further operation of the motor.

Abstract: A system and method of recognizing speech comprises an audio receiving element
and a computer server. The audio receiving element and the computer server perform the
process steps of the method. The method involves training a stored set of phonemes by
converting them into n-dimensional space, where n is a relatively large number. Once the
stored phonemes are converted, they are transformed using single value decomposition to
conform the data generally into a hypersphere. The received phonemes from the audio-receiving
element are also converted into n-dimensional space and transformed using single
value decomposition to conform the data into a hypersphere. The method compares the
transformed received phoneme to each transformed stored phoneme by comparing a first
distance from a center of the hypersphere to a point associated with the transformed
received phoneme and a second distance from the center of the hypersphere to a point
associated with the respective transformed stored phoneme.

Abstract: An optical spectrum analyzer comprises a diffraction grating (DG), a polarization decomposing unit (PDM) for decomposing the input light beam into first and second light beams having mutually-perpendicular linear states of polarization, and two output ports (FP2/1, FP2/2) each for receiving from the grating, substantially exclusively, a respective one of the polarized light beams (LT, LR) after diffraction by the diffraction grating (DG). Each of the linearly-polarized light beams is directed onto the diffraction grating with its linear state of polarization at any prescribed angle to a corresponding plane of diffraction of the diffraction grating. The arrangement is such that the state of polarization of the light beams, at any particular wavelength within an operating band of the analyzer remains substantially unchanged with respect to time. The analyzer also may have a reflector (RAM) for reflecting the light beams leaving the diffraction grating after diffraction a first time so as to return them to the diffraction grating for diffraction a second time.
