Abstract: Un appareil de préparation d'un support utilisé dans un procédé d'impression maintient le support (2) pendant sa rotation autour d'un axe. Une tête (6) est montée de manière à pouvoir se déplacer parallèlement audit axe et comprend des moyens permettant de diriger un faisceau laser sur la surface du support (2). Le faisceau laser grave ou expose une série de sites cellulaires (C) sur le support. Un modulateur acousto-optique (12) placé dans la trajectoire du faisceau laser dévie le faisceau sensiblement dans le sens de rotation du support (2). Dans un exemple de réalisation préféré, le faisceau balaye la surface du support (2) à une vitesse adaptée à celle du support de manière à garder le faisceau stationnaire sur un site cellulaire pendant la gravure ou l'exposition de celui-ci. Le faisceau peut également être défléchi pour faire un saut en arrière ou en avant en passant au-dessus des sites adjacents.

Abstract: The present invention makes possible the catalytic production of sequence specific oligonucleotides through the use of a specially designed template sequence. The reaction can be made to proceed isothermally in the presence of an excess of nucleoside triphosphates, an agent for polymerization, and a cutting agent. Because the process is catalytic with respect to the template sequence, an unlimited amount of oligonucleotide product can theoretically be generated from a single molecule of template. Where the process is initiated by the presence of a nucleic acid target sequence, the method of the present invention can be used for diagnostic purposes as an amplification method to improve sensitivity. Diagnostic sensitivity can be further enhanced by employing a cascade of these template sequences.

Abstract: With the method of producing metal structures (1'), thin structure elements, in particular wall-shaped or column-shaped elements (1a, 1b), can be produced. This method is a type of free-form welding with a laser. By means of a laser and by means of pulse-like energy irradiation, metal powder or metal wire is fused to a substrate by repeated and controlled application, the metal-structure part already produced serving itself as the substrate. Owing to the pulse-like energy irradiation, the material quantity applied each time solidifies during the pauses between successive energy pulses essentially on account of heat dissipation into the substrate. The method according to the invention permits, for example, so-called "fast prototyping"; repair work can also be carried out. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention vise à réaliser un enroulement rotorique présentant une plus grande stabilité au niveau thermique et mécanique. Les barres constituant l'enroulement (2) situées à côté du clapet de fermeture ou du système de tête d'encoche (5) ont une section transversale deux fois plus grande que celle des barres de l'enroulement (7). Cependant, pour obtenir un meilleur refroidissement de l'enroulement, les barres (2 ou 7) comportent des canaux de ventilation (10). Cette invention permet, pour la première fois, de compenser le refroidissement habituellement médiocre du moteur électrique ainsi que le léger dégagement de chaleur qu'il entraîne à partir du rotor, par une stabilité mécanique sensiblement meilleure de l'enroulement. Cela est avant tout dû au fait que la densité de courant peut être réduite dans la même proportion, en raison de la section transversale plus importante de la barre d'enroulement.

Abstract: A microprocessor-based air conditioning/refrigeration control system adapted for use with a variable speed compressor measures acceleration of the compressor and the temperature or pressure of the refrigerant exiting therefrom, determines the rate of change of the temperature or pressure of the refrigerant, and decreases acceleration of the compressor if the rate of change of the temperature or pressure of the working fluid indicates surging of the compressor. Superheat of the refrigerant is maintained at a first predefined level while the compressor is operating at constant speed and is increased to a second, higher predefined level while the compressor is accelerating. The system is able to diagnose deterioration of the compressor by measuring and comparing power input to the compressor and rate of change of temperature or pressure of the refrigerant at the compressor between initial and subsequent periods, and differentiate between deterioration of a drive component or a pressurizing component of the compressor.
