Abstract: An implantable device (10) and a method for the automatic detection of atrial arrhythmias and for providing low energy atrial cardioversion therapy for such arrhythmias, with minimal tissue damage and power drain, is disclosed. The device (10) is capable of being incorporated within, and is disclosed as part of, an implantable automatic pacemaker defibrillator/cardioverter having the ability to also provide high energy ventricular defibrillation therapy, as well as dual chamber antitachycardia pacing therapy and bradycardia support pacing. Tripolar atrial and ventricular endocardial leads (150,151), each including tip and ring pacing electrodes and a braid cardioverting electrode therein, are employed in conjunction with a subcutaneous electrode lead (152) in delivering therapy from the device (10) to the patient, allowing the device (10) to be implanted in and used by a patient without the need to open the patient's chest cavity. A number of different cardioverting electrode configurations are selectable from the four implanted electrodes, and automatic switching from one electrode configuration to another is employed if cardioversion is not achieved with the first configuration.

Abstract: Un dispositif de contrôle de pièces de monnaie possède, au niveau de sa fente d'admission, un volet (8) forcé en rotation contre l'action d'un ressort antagoniste (10) lors de l'insertion d'une pièce de monnaie. Dans le cas d'une utilisation frauduleuse du dispositif par usage d'un fil attaché à la pièce, le mouvement du volet vers sa position fermée après passage de la pièce, provoque l'application d'une tension sur le fil qui est alors détecté par un mécanisme à levier (non représenté). La mise en service du mécanisme à levier par le fil sous tension annule la validation de la pièce attachée de sorte que, par exemple, le crédit enregistré lors du passage d'une pièce devant un poste de vérification soit débité avant le retour de la pièce à l'utilisateur.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé pour traiter des matériaux terreux solides renfermant des contaminants volatils, semi-volatils, et non volatils. A cet effet, six électrodes sont introduites dans une région du matériau terreux à traiter selon une disposition hexagonale essentiellement équilatérale. Six phases de tensions sont appliquées aux électrodes correspondantes. Ces tensions sont réglées à l'intérieur d'une première gamme de tensions, de façon à créer une multitude de trajets de courant entre les paires d'électrodes. Ces trajets de courant sont repartis équitablement dans toute la région formée par les électrodes, la région étant ainsi chauffée uniformément. La région du matériau terreux à traiter est chauffée à une température suffisante pour éliminer pour ainsi dire tous les contaminants volatils et semi-volatils, en favorisant une action microbienne. Cette température est inférieure à la température de fusion de matériau terreux.

Abstract: Air-classification of flours with a particle size of 5-160 µm is best performed on flours that are remilled at least once to give a remilled flour with an x-50 of less than 40 µm. 
The remilling, preferably being carried out by using a jet air mill, a Retsch mill or an extruder. In this way a higher yield of a fraction, enriched in protein (up to 40% protein) and a higher yield of a starch fraction with a low protein content (even less than 3 wt%) can be obtained. Wetting of the remilled flour, prior to remilling and drying of the remilled flour, prior to air classification lead to improved results.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optically non-linear active waveguiding material comprising an optically transparent polymer and a non-linear optical dopant comprising more than one donor-π-acceptor unit. 
     Dopants comprising more than one donor-π-acceptor unit, especially dopants in which the donor-π-acceptor units are positioned in a cyclic group, have a high hyperpolarisability and a charge-transfer absorption band wavelength which is about the same as that of dopants with only one donor-π-acceptor unit. 
     Especially suitable dopants for use are calix(4)arenes. These are provided with acceptor groups at the upper rim and with donor groups at the lower rim. In addition to having excellent hyperpolarisability, these compounds were found to be readily soluble in host polymers, such as PMMA and polystyrene. Because of their charge-transfer absorption band at a low wavelength, optically non-linear active waveguiding structures containing such dopants are suitable for use as frequency doublers. 
     The invention further relates to hitherto undisclosed calix(4)arenes functionalised with nitrostilbene groups, cyanostilbene groups, sulphonyl stilbene groups, sulphonate stilbene groups, azobenzenes or benzylidene aniline compounds.
