Abstract: Pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment and follow-up care of tumors that comprises the blood plasma or predetermined blood plasma components of equidae animals with pair number of fingers, preferably cattle being not endangered lethally by leucosis . The predetermined fraction is the material 'bovin 40' and/or 'bovin 300' constituting the difference detectable by electrophoresis between the lipid-free fraction taken from a healthy cattle. In the separation method of the required fraction the initial blood is optionally treated by an anti-coagulant and the corpuscles are separated therefrom, the plasma fraction is treated by a first organic solvent, then a surfactant material composed of fine grains is added thereto, the liquid is mixed and the lipid-free fraction bound to the grains is separated from the liquid components by centrifugation, and the separated fraction is brought again into a solution.

Abstract: A timer management system and method for managing timers in both a synchronous and asynchronous system. In one embodiment of the present invention, a timer management system comprises an application program interface (API) for providing a set of synchronous functions allowing an application to functionally operate on the timer. The timer management system further comprises a timer database for storing timer-related information. Furthermore, the timer management system comprises a timer services for detecting the expiring of the timer. A handle function of the timer services allows an asynchronous application, i.e., application in a multi-task system, to synchronously act on the timer. That is, when a timer in a asynchronous system times-out, the handle function allows the asynchronous application to act on the expired timer without incurring an illegal time-out message. In another embodiment of the present invention, a timer may be reinitialized from the same allocated block of memory used to create the timer. In another embodiment of the present invention, a time-out message may be sent using the same allocated block of memory used to create the timer.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un décapeptide a été isolé à partir d'un hydrolysat enzymatique de caséine bovine, décapeptide dont la séquence a pu être, sans équivoque, identifiée dans la séquence primaire de la caséine. Ce décapeptide, qui a également été réalisé de façon chimiosynthétique, influe sur la croissance de la lignée cellulaire d'insectes IPLB-Sf-21 en fonction de la concentration. Un tripeptide qui est contenu deux fois dans la séquence du décapeptide ou de la caséine présente un effet encore plus fort que ledit décapeptide, cet effet étant également fonction de la concentration. Ces peptides peuvent donc, de façon avantageuse, être utilisés comme additifs pour des milieux de culture cellulaire exempts de sérum et chimiquement définis.

Abstract: A method for identifying and modeling nonlinearities in communications channels, particularly optical communication channels. A channel in general is modeled as a summation of linear and non linear terms having memory. The terms are functions of the input to the channel with respect to time, such as a sequence of input bits to the channel. In one embodiment the most recent 5 input bits to the optical channel are used to access a value in a look up tale. The value accessed is then compared to an actual value received from the channel. The difference between the value in the table and the actual channel value may be used to correct the value in the table, for example using a LMS (Least Means Squared) algorithm. When the look up table and the channel converge the look up table contains a model of the channel with memory that can model nonlinearities.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un produit dont une partie au moins présente une microstructure nanocristalline, et un procédé de formation de ce produit. D'une manière générale, ce procédé implique l'usinage d'un corps, de façon à produire des copeaux entièrement formés de nanocristaux issus de l'usinage, qui exerce une déformation de contrainte suffisamment importante. Le corps peut être formé d'une variété de matières, telles que le métal, des alliages métalliques et des matières céramiques. De plus, le corps peut présenter une microstructure essentiellement exempte de nanocristaux, voire monocristalline. Les copeaux issus de l'usinage peuvent se présenter sous la forme de particules, de rubans, de fils, de filaments et/ou de lamelles. Les copeaux sont ensuite utilisés pour former le produit. Selon une variante de l'invention, les copeaux sont consolidés pour former le produit de façon que ce produit soit formé d'une matière monolithique pouvant contenir des nanocristaux. Selon une autre variante, les copeaux sont dispersés dans une matière matricielle, de façon que le produit soit formé d'une matière composite dans laquelle les copeaux servent de matière de renforcement.

Abstract: The present invention aims to enable the accurate learning of a true
torque point in a wet friction clutch (3), prevent the clutch connection shock
by absorbing the response delay upon an ordinary clutch connection control,
and to successfully combine the time lag and shock. In the present invention,
the value (D) itself of the duty ratio of the duty pulse output from the ECU
(16) is learned as the torque point (Dm). In a power transmission device of a
vehicle having a fluid coupling (2) and the wet friction clutch (3)provided in
series between the engine (E) and transmission (T/M), the value (Dm) of
the duty ratio at the time when the clutch input side revolution (Nt)
decreases to a value lower than the engine revolution (Ne) by a prescribed
revolution (Nm) during the process of gradually connecting the clutch 3 is
learned as the torque point. Preferably, learning is conducted after the
elapse of a prescribed waiting time (Δt1). During an ordinary clutch
connection control, a prescribed start duty (Dst0) for connecting the clutch
(3) broadly up to a point close to the torque point (Dtb) is initially output
from the ECU (16), and a gradual duty (Dk) is output after retaining such
start duty (Dst0) for a prescribed time (Δt3). Preferably, a first gradual duty
(Dk1) for gradually connecting the clutch quickly is output, and a second
gradual duty (Dk2) for gradually connecting the clutch slowly is output
thereafter.

Abstract: Device for assaying an analyte, comprising a labelling zone, where a label can bind to the
analyte, in communication with a capture zone, wherein the pore size of the capture zone is
such that label which is not bound to the analyte can migrate therethrough, whereas label
which is bound to the analyte cannot. During migration from the labelling zone (large pore
size) to the capture zone (small pore size), unbound label can pass into and through the
capture zone, whereas bound label will be captured at the junction of the labelling zone and
the capture zone. The device relies upon the label being smaller than the analyte, such that
free label is not retarded by the capture zone. It is particularly suitable for assaying
analytes such as spermatozoa, which are large in comparison with a label such as a labelled
antibody.

the fluid flow in the first flow path is controlled by controlling the pump speed
using the value of the pump speed from the previous interconnected paths

interconnected paths which matches the transducer reading for the disconnected
paths.
