Abstract: The low earth orbit radar remote sensing or telecommunication satellite includes an antenna forming member in a plane passing through the center of Earth, for example, the plane of its orbit. The antenna(s) are on one or both faces of the member. The height of the antenna forming member is greater than its dimension in the direction of travel of the satellite, so that the satellite is naturally stabilized by the gravity gradient. The solar generator cells are carried by the antenna forming member on the face that is kept facing towards the Sun in the case of a 6 H/18 H local time heliosynchronous orbit. The antenna forming member comprising a plurality of hinged panels over which the received or transmitted wave phase control means are distributed, it includes a plurality of GPS sensors distributed over the panels, enabling measurement and subsequent compensation by the phase-shifters of deformations of the member. At launch, the panels are folded into an elongate cylindrical shell along the launch system axis and having a pyrotechnic trap allowing deployment of the panels. In orbit, this shell constitutes the equipment module integrating all the equipment units other than the panels.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing microcapsules containing an active substance coated with a substantially polar polymer film, characterized in that it consists in the following steps: suspending an active substance insoluble in a substantially polar polymer solution in an organic solvent, said substantially polar polymer being insoluble in liquid or supercritical CO2, said organic solvent being soluble in liquid or supercritical CO2; contacting the suspension with liquid or supercritical CO2 so as to extract the solvent from the polymer in a controlled manner and ensure the coacervation of the polymer; substantially extracting the solvent by means of supercritical CO2 and draining off the CO2/solvent mixture; recuperating the microcapsules in the form of dry powder. The invention also concerns microcapsules containing an active substance coated with a substantially polar polymer selected among the group consisting of polysaccharides, cellulose derivatives, acrylic, methacrylic polymers or derivatives of esters of vinyl, polyesters, polyamides, polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters and polyphosphazenes, characterized in that the polymer film has low surface energy and is free from organic solvent and in that the microcapsules are obtainable by said method.

Abstract: Method uses high resolution glass fiber tapering unit (1) with larger (2) and smaller (3) end surfaces. The larger surface at least matches the test surface of the sample carrier (4), and the smaller surface at least matches the dimensions of image sensor (6). Ratio of surfaces (2,3) gives the reduction measure of the imaging optics, such that the whole test surface (4) is pictured by image sensor. The flat sample carrier is a micro titration plate (4) with a number of holes to hold the signal-emitting test material (5). The image sensor (6) has an image amplifier and a video camera to convert the amplified image into electronic signals. The glass fiber tapering unit (1) gives a complete and reduced image of the micro titration plate (4) for the entry window of the image amplifier. The image amplifier is a bialkali photo cathode, with a spectral sensitivity of less than 1% at wavelengths of more than 700 nm. The micro titration plate (4) is in a sliding drawer holder, with horizontal and vertical movements. After its horizontal insertion into the apparatus, it is raised vertically until the larger surface (2) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the plate (4) surface. The smaller surface (3) of the tapering unit (1) is in direct contact with the entry window of the image amplifier. The entry window, at the image amplifier, is a glass fiber plate, to transfer the image directly to the following photo cathode of the image amplifier. To minimize reflection losses, the air space between the tapering unit (1) and the entry window is filled with an oil film, with a refraction index matching the refraction index of the tapering unit (1). The micro titration plate (4) has an optically transparent base. The plate holder is a frame structure, with a lamp under the plate (4) to give fluorescent excitation to the material being held in the plate (4) for study, giving a bundled light at an angle to the optical axis. The whole apparatus can swing by 180 degrees round a horizontal axis. The measurement system has an additional micro pipette system, with the separate pipettes aligned with the test holes in the micro titration plate (4).

Abstract: A switching control arrangement for a multilevel convertor minimises the harmonic content of the convertor voltage or current by an open-loop and/or a closed-loop control of the timing of the switching of the GTOs associated with the energy-storage components (e.g. capacitors) in the convertor. In a first open-loop arrangement the convertor current is quantized over its working range and different threshold values are provided in dependence on the quantization values of the current. In a second open-loop arrangement a continuous, non-quantized control is provided based on at least a quadratic approximation to the desired current-dependent behaviour of the GTO switching angles. In a third, closed-loop arrangement, different GTO-switching threshold levels are provided as controlled by a Fourier integration process involving the nulling of those harmonics desired to be nulled. The control arrangement is applicable to chain or stacked-capacitor multilevel convertors and can be employed in SVC applications or applications in which the convertor draws real power as well as reactive power. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods for identifying nucleic acid sequences that affect a cellular phenotype are disclosed. The method uses a reporter gene whose level of expression correlates with the phenotype in conjunction with a method or device for measuring the level of reporter expression. An expression library is introduced into the cells, and those cells exhibiting changes in reporter expression level are selected. Expression library inserts from the selected cells are isolated, thereby providing a sub-library enriched for sequences that affect the phenotype reflected by the reporter. Further rounds of sub-library introduction and cell selection may be carried out to provide additional enrichment. Sequences identified using this method may be used to ascertain the identity of additional molecules involved in generating the cellular phenotype.
