Inventor: EMMER GERARD
IPC: B67C3/12
Filed: 1998-07-20
Granted: 2003-03-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for filling a plastic container (8) while it is still hot and deformable without damaging it, when the filling comprises a phase (17; 13) during which a noticeable difference in pressure between the container inside and the environment external to the filling installation occurs, at least during part of said phase, consisting in placing the container in a sealed chamber (9) isolating it from the external environment and modifying (18; 12) the pressure inside the chamber to reduce, even cancel, the difference in pressure between the container inside and outside. The invention is applicable to the filling of plastic containers, with aerated beverages and/or their filling after a vacuumizing phase of their internal volume, immediately after they have been made by blowing.

Abstract: A sealable electrical junction box of one piece unitary construction which incorporates one or more sealing chambers through which one or more electrical wires can pass before they reach the main chamber of the inside of the box. These chambers may then be filled with an expandable foam sealant to form an airtight seal around wires. A flange around the outside of the box allows a vapor barrier to be sealed to the box, so that an airtight seal may be formed around the outside of the box. When properly installed, no air or water vapor can pass from the inside of a building to the outside around or through the sealable electrical junction box.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for functionally classifying a prote in that is capable of unfolding due to a thermal change. The method comprises screening one or more of a multiplicity of different molecules for their ability to shift the thermal unfolding curve of the protein, wherein a shift in the thermal unfolding curve indicates tha t the molecule binds to the protein or affects the stability in a measurable way; generating an activity spectrum for the protein wherein th e activity spectrum reflects a set of molecules, from the multiplicity of molecules, that shift the thermal unfolding curve, of the protein and therefore are ligands that bind to the protein, comparing the activity spectrum for the protein to one or more functional reference spectrum lists; and classifying the protein according to the set of molecules in the multiplicity of different molecules that shift the thermal unfolding curve of the protein.

Abstract: On décrit des procédés et des appareils qui permettent de détecter la présence d'une matière test dans un échantillon test. L'échantillon test est introduit dans une colonne de test qui comprend au moins deux boucles. Une des boucles est pourvue d'une matière piégeant le témoin qui sert à détecter la présence du témoin. Chacune des autres boucles est dotée d'une matière de piégeage qui est spécifique à une matière test correspondante qu'on cherche à détecter. La matière de piégeage va se lier à la matière test correspondante pour former une matière liée. La colonne de test est ensuite lavée pour éliminer les matières qui ne se sont pas liées aux matières de piégeage. A la fin du processus, la présence des matières liées est détectée sur chacune des boucles. Ce procédé est utile pour détecter un indicateur de pathogène dans un échantillon test, il est particulièrement approprié pour détecter l'ADN et l'ARN.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hand tool. The tool includes a replaceable cutting portion having an elongate cutting surface, a body and a handle. The body receives displaceable protecting apparatus for shielding the cutting surface of the cutting portion when the tool is not in use. The protecting apparatus is adapted at its forward distal end to contact a portion of the surface of the object to be cut such that when pressure is applied by pushing the tool against the object surface displacement of the protecting apparatus relative to the position of the replaceable cutting portion is effected to expose only as much of the cutting surface of the cutting portion as needed-to effect the required cut in the object. Alignment means maintain alignment of the replaceable cutting portion relative to the position of the protecting apparatus throughout the cutting action. When the cutting action is completed resilience means facilitates return of the protecting apparatus to a position whereby the cutting surface of the cutting portion is no longer exposed.

Abstract: An amorphous communication network having no traditional wireless backbone h as plural roving or migratory access node (200) or terminal devices that are carried or transported along with individuals. Each wireless node (200) has a user interface and a local ID, e.g., an IP address, URL, telephone number. Voice, data, or video is transferred to other migratory nodes (104) or to a conventional land-based telephone or data terminal via a PSTN, Internet, ATM network, etc. A geolocation detector in the node (200), such as a GPS, keeps track of the instantaneous position, which is conveyed to a locally or remotely stored database (400). A local processor (250) accesses this databa se (400) to determine node-to-node paths to a destination when the node (200) operates as a source. A node (200) captures a transmitted message when the destination address in the message matches its local address, or otherwise forwards the message towards a destination if the address does not match. Acknowledgements are sent between nodes (104) upon successful receipt of information. The node's wireless transceiver (260) also adapts to the environment and terrain to control transmission and reception characteristic s according to bandwidth, inter-node spacing, signal strength, bit error rate, node population density, frequency spectrum, data rate and/or air interface protocol. Nodes (200) may periodically or randomly unicast or broadcast its ID and/or position data to update a database (400), which then may be propagate d to other databases throughout the network. A database (400) may reside local ly within a node (200) or at fixed regional locations (106) that are linked together to form a global database.
