Abstract: L'invention concerne une poussette, qui peut être utilisée comme siège pour enfant sur une bicyclette ou comme siège de sécurité dans une automobile. Cette poussette comprend un cadre pliable doté de roues, sur lequel est fixée une coque de siège moulée (10). Le mécanisme de pliage du cadre comporte des moyens (37) pour arrimer et verrouiller de façon libérable la poussette sur un support (46, 47, 48, 49, 50) spécialement conçu à cet effet et fixé sur la bicyclette. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la géométrie du mécanisme de pliage du cadre est telle qu'elle permet un verrouillage par effet ressort, le cadre étant alors fixé de manière sûre au support. Un verrou (45) de sécurité supplémentaire fournit une double sécurité de fixation. En tant que siège de voiture (figure 7), la poussette repliée est fixée à la structure de la carrosserie au moyen de la ceinture (70) de sécurité ventrale et thoracique trois points, à l'usage des passagers arrière. Une sangle (68) d'attache supplémentaire sert à retenir la partie supérieure de la poussette.

Abstract: Chacun de deux tuyaux en acier est relié à un flasque d'assemblage destiné à joindre deux tuyaux. Dans un mode de réalisation, les flasques sont fixés à demeure l'un à l'autre; dans un autre mode de réalisation, ils sont fixés mobiles l'un par rapport à l'autre. Dans le mode de réalisation mobile, une garniture en grille de fil tricoté est placée entre deux flasques. Chaque flasque possède une surface concave interne sphérique ou une surface convexe externe et la garniture possède une surface concave interne ou une surface convexe externe. La surface convexe externe de la garniture a un rayon inférieur à la surface interne concave du flasque d'accouplement. Les points de départ des deux rayons sont décalés l'un par rapport à l'autre. La surface sphérique concave interne a un rayon qui est supérieur à la surface convexe externe sphérique du flasque correspondant. La garniture met les deux flasques en contact dans un ensemble annulaire de points de pression de manière à assurer une action de scellement améliorée. Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, les tuyaux sont fixés stationnaires l'un par rapport à l'autre, et le flasque externe est raccordé au segment sphérique du tuyau; ce tuyau possède une surface sphérique concave interne qui met en prise la surface convexe externe de la garniture. Les rayons des surfaces d'appariement sont différents pour créer une meilleure pression de scellement à la tangente des surfaces d'appariement.

Abstract: Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by Ehrilichia canis is a potentially fatal disease of dogs that requires rapid and accurate diagnosis in order to initiate appropriate therapy leading to a favorable prognosis. In the invention described herein, a new immunoreactive E. canis surface protein gene of 1170-bp was cloned, which encodes a protein with a predicted molecular mass of 42.6 kilodaltons (P43). The P43 gene was not found in E. chaffeensis DNA by Southern blot, and antisera against recombinant P43 (rP43) did not react with E. chaffeensis by IFA. The P43 was located on the surface of E. canis by immunoelectron microscopy. Forty-two dogs exhibiting signs and/or hematologic abnormalities associated with canine ehrlichiosis were tested by IFA and by Western immunoblot. Among the 22 samples that were IFA positive for E. canis, 100% reacted with the rP43, 96% with the rP28, and 96% with the rP140. The specificity of the recombinant proteins compared to IFA was 96% for rP28, 88% for P43 and 63% for P140. Results of this study demonstrate that the rP43 and rP28 are sensitive and reliable serodiagnostic antigens for the diagnosis of Ehrlichia canis infections.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de découvrir un ou plusieurs motifs dans deux séquences de symboles S1 et S2, qui comprend la formation, pour chaque séquence, d'une table de décalage maîtresse qui groupe pour chaque symbole la position occupée dans la séquence par chaque occurrence de ce symbole. La différence de position entre chaque occurrence d'un symbole dans une des séquences et chaque occurrence de ce même symbole dans l'autre séquence sont déterminées, et une Table de correspondance de Motifs est formée. Pour chaque valeur donnée d'une différence de position, la Table de correspondance de Motifs liste la position dans la première séquence de chaque symbole de celle-ci qui apparaît dans la deuxième séquence à cette différence de position. Le recueil des symboles constitués en table pour chaque valeur de différence de position définit ainsi un motif parent dans la première séquence, lequel motif est répété dans la deuxième séquence. L'invention concerne également un support lisible par ordinateur possédant des instructions permettant de commander un système informatique afin de réaliser ce procédé, ainsi qu'un support lisible par ordinateur contenant une structure de données utilisée dans la mise en pratique de ce procédé.

     An extension member (42A;42B) is provided, which provides coupling
between one or more drive members (38A,38B,38C) in the drive track (40). The
length of coupling between the pair of drive members (38A,38B,38C) can be
