Abstract: An omnidirectional fibre optic hydrophone includes a mandrel (10, 12, 14, 16) comprising a concentrically-arranged pair of rings (22, 24) mounted between planar upper (18) and base (20) members. Each of the rings is formed of inner (30, 36) and outer (28, 34) wall portions separated by an annular void (32, 38). Optical fibres (48, 50) wound about the outer circumference of the outer annular portion of the outer ring and about the outer circumference of the inner annular portion of the inner ring communicate with a source of optical energy (52) and with a photodetector (54) to provide signals for measuring acoustic wave-induced deflections of the rings. A plurality of mandrels (10, 12, 14, 16) may be employed in a single hydrophone which may be potted with elastomeric material or free flooded.

Abstract: A memory cell (10) containing a ferroelectric capacitor (20) the memory state of which is sensed by cycling the potential across the capacitor from zero, through an upper electric field point (C) and back to zero. If the cell was residing in the upper permanent remnant polarization point (D), a low change in charge flow occurs and if the cell was residing in the lower permanent remnant polarization point (A), a low (near zero) change in charge flow occurs. This change in charge flow from a near zero value to a large amount allows a very accurate reference capacitor (39) to be used for the comparison or sensing process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cooling and cleaning gases containing tar-like or other impurities, and to a reactor. In the method, process gas is first fed into a hot fluidized bed (4), where the tar-like impurities contained in it crack into smaller fractions, whereafter the process gas is passed onward, the fluidized bed material entrained in the process gas is separated from the process gas and returned through the cooler (8) into the fluidized bed and into the process gas stream, whereby the process gas cools under the influence of the cooled fluidized bed material. The reactor comprises a cooler (8) above the fluidized bed (4) and an annular conduit (7) outside the cooler (8), through which conduit the process gas flows into the upper portion of the reactor after the fluidized bed (4). It further comprises a fluidized grate (11) below the cooler (8), to which grate the cooled fluidized bed material from the cooler (8) drops, and from where the fluidized bed material is returned into the fluidized bed (4) and into the process gas stream by feeding the process gas to be treated into it as fluidizing gas.

Abstract: A radio system, in particular a mobile radio system (MRS), is proposed which has radio interfaces (COMa) with modifiable parameters (Ta, Fa) which are defined and modified by the fixed radio station BS. The parameters are calculated in the fixed radio station on the basis of the required transmission capacity (CAPr) of a distant radio station (MSa) and on the basis of a calculation of free transmission capacity (CAPI) within a pre-defined frequency range. The parameters (Ta, Fa) are defined in order to set the transceivers in the fixed radio station and in the distant radio station in such a way that the required transmission capacity takes up the minimum amount of free transmission capacity. Efficient use is made of the frequency spectrum, with radio transmission being matched continuously to the capacity requirements of the mobile stations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circuit for obtaining accurate timing information from a received signal, first, obtains an impulse response at a certain phase, which phase is determined based on a reference phase of a receiver clock, and then the obtained impulse response is compared with a reference level. As the reference level: a predetermined value just below the maximum value of the overall impulse response; an impulse response at another phase; or an impulse response at the same phase in a previous period, is used. The reference phase is controlled, according to the result of the comparison.

Abstract: L'invention concerne le SMDF isolé, un ADN Isolé codant pour le SMDF, et des procédés synthétiques ou de recombinaison pour préparer ce facteur. Ce dernier contient un domaine proche du facteur de croissance de l'épithélium du type β et une séquence N-terminale qui est distincte de toutes les neurégulines décrites jusqu'à présent. Lorsqu'il est exprimé en culture cellulaire recombinée, le SMDF active la phosphorylation de la tyrosine du récepteur HER2/neu dans les cellules humaines du cancer du sein et présente une activité mitogène sur les cellules de Schwann. Une analyse northern blot et par hybridation in situ révèle que le SMDF diffère des autres neurégulines en ce qu'il est spécifique des tissus nerveux, et est très fortement exprimé, par rapport aux autres neurégulines, dans les neurones moteurs et les neurones sensoriels de la moelle épinière de l'homme et du rat.
