Abstract: L'invention porte sur un dispositif électromagnétique pluriphasé à n enroulements de phase (n>2) constitués chacun d'un fil unique enroulé en forme de nappe. Les enroulements sont tels que lorsqu'assemblés sur une base à fentes magnétoconductrice, on obtient un maximum de n-1 spire se recouvrant, ce qui permet d'optimiser la densité de remplissage des fentes. Par ailleurs, les configurations préférées présentent des terminaisons nettes et compactes facilitant le montage final du dispositif. Les enroulements sont faits soit de bobines séparées qu'on relie ensemble lors de leur montage sur la base, soit de longueurs de sous-enroulements élaborés en continu. Ce dernier procédé permet d'automatiser entièrement ou partiellement les processus d'enroulement ou d'assemblage.

Title: Method for producing rear-injected plastic moulded parts
Inventor: MEDINA-GALARZA JUAN
IPC: B29C33/40
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: Described is a method for producing rear-injected plastic moulded parts consisting of a decorative layer, a foam layer, and a substrate; each of which respectively consisting of polyolefins. According to the method, the decorative layer and the foam layer are inserted into an injection mould in the form of a composite, and are then rear-injected with the substrate material into the closed injection mould. In order to structure the outer surface of the decorative layer on the finished moulded part as desired, the inner surface of the injection mould, against which the decorative layer is applied, is structured in a complementary manner. A foam layer formed from closed cells is used, the layer being permanently compressed during the hardening of the substrate material in the closed injection mould according to the structuring of the surface of the injection mould. The structuring of the surface of the injection mould can be obtained by correspondingly shaping the surface itself or by inserts which are to be arranged between the surface of the injection mould and the decorative layer.

Abstract: Particles incorporating a surfactant and/or a hydrophilic or hydrophobic
complex of a positively or negatively charged therapeutic agent and a charged
molecule of opposite charge for drug delivery to the pulmonary system, and
methods for their synthesis and administration are provided. In a preferred
embodiment, the particles are made of a biodegradable material and have a
tap density less than 0.4 g/cm 3  and a mass mean diameter between 5 µm and
30 µm, which together yield an aerodynamic diameter of the particles of
between approximately one and three microns. The particles may be formed
of biodegradable materials such as biodegradable polymers. For example, the
particles may be formed of poly(lactic acid) or poly(glycolic acid) or copolymers
thereof. Alternatively, the particles may be formed solely of a therapeutic or
diagnostic agent and a surfactant. Surfactants can be incorporated on the
particule surface for example by coating the particle after particle formation, or
by incorporating the surfactant in the material forming the particle prior to
formation of the particle. Exemplary surfactants include phosphoglycerides
such as dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The particles can be
effectively aerosolized for administration to the respiratory tract to permit
systemic or local delivery of wide a variety of therapeutic agents. Formation of
complexes of positively or negatively charged therapeutic agents with
molecules of opposite charge can allow control of the release rate of the
agents into the blood stream following administration.

Abstract: Renewable energy production from wind source by exploiting kites or airfoils through an automatic management and steering control. 
The kite (12) or airfoil automatic steering via cables (11) allows to manoeuvre the kite in different combinations of troposphere altitudes and directions, obtaining full power traction phases in specific direction, phases of stall with rewinding, and gliding phases even against the wind. The traction and the active mechanical energy are transferred to a carousel generator (18,19). 
The automatic steering logic is realized through the interface of servo actuators and sensors elements on the kites. Sensor information is continually updated to perform the decision-making and feedback control on the kite attitude and position in order to obtain precise and reliable manoeuvring.
