Abstract: L'invention concerne deux nouvelles protéines, spécifiques des testicules, à savoir C19 et C23, lesquelles sont des paralogues du lysozyme. On pense que ces protéines jouent un rôle dans la capacitation du sperme et dans la fertilisation de l'ovule. Aussi, ces composés constituent-ils des cibles idéales pour la mise au point d'agents contraceptifs. On peut également modifier les protéines C19 et C23 pour établir l'activité du lysozyme et on peut utiliser ces protéines modifiées dans toutes les applications existant actuellement pour les lysozymes.

Title: Polymeres determinant l'orientation et la stabilite de cristaux liquides
Inventor: KORNFIELD JULIE A
IPC: G02F1/1337
Filed: 2001-04-05
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un matériau en gel polymère à action électro-optique renfermant un polymère d'alignement à poids moléculaire élevé conçu pour être dispersé uniformément dans un cristal liquide de manière à déterminer l'alignement des molécules de cristal liquide et/ou de conférer une stabilité mécanique aux cristaux liquides. Le gel polymère à action électro-optique comprend un gel renfermant des brins de polymère en faible concentration qui sont bien solvatés par le cristal liquide à petites molécules, sans ralentissement concomitant inacceptable de sa réponse électro-optique. Pendant la formation du gel, l'orientation recherchée est bloquée dans ledit gel par réticulation physique ou chimique des chaînes polymères. Le polymère à action électro-optique est ensuite utilisé pour déterminer l'orientation du gel de cristal liquide dans l'état de « champ coupé » d'un affichage à cristaux liquides. Le polymère à action électro-optique mémorise également l'agencement méso-structurel des cristaux liquides et contribue à empêcher l'apparition de déviations de grande envergure, par exemple de déformations de type « ventilateur », dans un cristal liquide ferro-électrique soumis à un choc mécanique. L'invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication du gel à action électro-optique et un dispositif électro-optique faisant intervenir ledit gel polymère.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for assessing a subject's hearing by recording steady-state auditory evoked responses. The apparatus generates a steady-state auditory evoked potential stimulus, presents the stimulus to the subject, senses potentials while simultaneously presenting the stimulus and determines whether the sensed potentials contain responses to the stimulus. The stimulus may include an optimum vector combined amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal adjusted to evoke responses with increased amplitudes, an independent amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal and a signal whose envelope is modulated by an exponential modulation signal. The apparatus is also adapted to reduce noise in the sensed potentials by employing sample weighted averaging. The apparatus is also adapted to detect responses in the sensed potentials via the Phase weighted T-test or Phase zone technique. The apparatus may further perform a number of objective audiological tests including latency tests, AM/FM discrimination tests, rate sensitivity tests, aided hearing tests, depth sensitivity tests, supra-threshold tests and auditory threshold tests. The apparatus is further adapted to perform multi-modality testing in which more than one sensory modality of the subject is tested simultaneously.

Abstract: Sub pits are suppressed from branching in a surface layer
of an aluminum foil, and an electrode foil for an aluminum
electrolytic capacitor with a large electrostatic
capacitance and a method of manufacturing the same are
provided. A large number of main pits are formed by etching
on both surfaces of the aluminum foil to extend from the
surfaces in a thickness direction of the foil, sub pits are
formed to branch away from the main pits for a range from a
vicinity of a surface layer portion of each main pits
excluding the surface layer portion, to inner ends of the main
pits. Since the sub pits are not formed in the surface layer
of the aluminum foil, the sub pits can be increased in density
effectively to the electrostatic capacitance, allowing the
electrode foil for the aluminum electrolytic capacitor to
have high mechanical strength and high electrostatic
capacitance.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp comprises a driving mechanism, including a solenoid
(19), capable of moving a bulb (12) and a shutter (21) into a first and
a second position. When the bulb (12) and the shutter (21) are in said
first position the shutter (21) closes the window (14e). Thus the light
emitted by the light emitting portion (12a) of the bulb (12) passing
through the opening (14c) of the shade (14), is reflected by the
reflector (13) and forms a first light distribution pattern (B1). 
     When the bulb (12) and the shutter (21) are positioned in said
second position the window (14c) is open; thus part of the light emitted
by the light emitting portion (12a) of the bulb (12) can escape through
the window (14e), is reflected by the reflector (13) and forms, together
with the light emitted through the opening (14c), a second light
distribution pattern (B2).

Abstract: A information retrieval system wherein design and
content are separated. Within a section of a title, a
designer can layout pages with controls that define areas for
content to be inserted into the pages. Two commonly used
controls in the system are a static story control, wherein a
preselected story is statically placed on a page in the area
defined by the control, and a dynamic story control, wherein
the designer defines search objects to retrieve stories. An
information retrieval (IR) server indexes and searches
stories in titles. Indexing takes place when a title is
released to the network by a publisher workstation. The IR
server interrelates title, section and story objects by their
globally unique identifiers and creates a routing table which
is used to locate objects across multiple database
partitions. The IR search service is requested in two
different ways at customer runtime. The first way is the
resolution of the search objects to retrieve matching
stories. The retrieved stories are concatenated and poured
into the area defined by the dynamic control when the title
is viewed. In the second way, the IR search service is
requested when a search is initiated by a customer using a
"find" dialog to search across all stories in one or more
titles, both dynamic and static.

Abstract: The two rotors comprise discs (12) with fan blades attached on one side. The fan blades are arranged in concentric rings received by corresponding channels in the opposing rotor disc in order to prevent passage of material under the blades. The machine consists of a casing with two rotors, each of which comprises several rings that engage inside one another and are driven in counter-rotation with an identical angular velocity. The rings are separately controlled and carry a number of fan blades on both of the ring walls, acting as a collision barrier for the material being milled and micronized. Centrifugal force carries the material from the inner ring towards the outer ring. Independent claims are also included for (a) the use of micronized zeolite as a drug for treating cancer, metabolism, heart and blood circulation complaints, multiple sclerosis and rheumatism, as a drug for dermatological applications, as a cosmetic, as an additive for bakery and confectionery products, as a filter material, as a filter additive for filter cigarettes, and as an additive for tile making, (b) the use of micronized minerals, especially calcites, as plant protection agents, (c) the use of micronized minerals, especially calcites, dolomites and carbonates, as fertilizers and/or yield increasing agents in agriculture, (d) the use of micronized minerals as odor reducing agents, and (e) the use of micronized clay components for reducing the sintering temperature during sintering processes used in the ceramic or glass industry.

signal and a high frequency pulse signal at predetermined
frequencies to a control circuit. The control circuit outputs
the low frequency pulse signal of 4 pulses per second aligned
at equal intervals when it is detected by a detecting circuit
that an operating portion is not operated and outputs repeatedly
the high frequency pulse signal of consecutive 4 pulses at every
second when it is detected by the detecting circuit that the
operating portion is operated. A motor driving circuit and
a motor normally operate a second hand in response to the low
frequency pulse signal and repeats, at a period of 1 second,
operation of fast feeding the second hand and thereafter
stopping the second hand during a predetermined period of time
in response to the high frequency pulse signal.
