Abstract: It is an object to provide a game machine having
communication terminals wherein an integrated circuit portion
is reliably protected from static electricity or a surge voltage
input through the communication terminals without using
communication terminals in a special configuration or providing
an openable cap while reducing the overall cost. There is
provided an integrated circuit portion 3 which includes
communication terminals TA1 and TA2 provided such that they are
exposed at one side of a game machine main body 1 and which
transmits and receives data to and from another game machine
through the communication terminals when the communication
terminals TA1 and TA2 are connected to the communication
terminals of another game machine. A protection circuit is
provided between the integrated circuit portion 3 and
communication terminals TA1 and TA2. This protection circuit
includes a first diode DD1 for bypassing a current produced by
a positive surge voltage and a second diode DD2 for bypassing
a current produced by a negative surge voltage. The first diode
DD1 and the second diode DD2 are series-connected in the forward
direction, and the connecting point is connected to the
communication terminals. Further, the protection circuit has
a configuration wherein a resistor circuit RR6 is provided for
reducing a current flowing into the integrated circuit portion
3 and wherein the resistor circuit RR6 is provided on the 
communication line between the integrated circuit portion 3 and
the communication terminals.

Abstract: A material of the negative electrode for the non-aqueous electrolyte
secondary battery comprises solid phases A and B. A core is formed by the
solid phase A of which lithium absorption and desorption amount resulted
from charge and discharge is relatively large. The core is partially or
entirely wrapped with the solid phase B of which lithium absorption and
disorption amount resulted from charge and discharge is not so much as the
solid phase A, however, of which discharge capacity decrease a little resulted
from cycles. The solid phase A comprises one of the following materials;
lithium, at least one of the elements which is able to alloy with lithium, solid
solution including at least one of the above elements being able to alloy with
lithium, or an intermetallic compound including at least one of the above
elements being able to alloy with lithium. The solid phase B has a different
composition, but comprises the same kind of materials except lithium by itself
as those of the solid phase A. It is essential that the solid phase B is a mixed
conductor having electronic conductivity as well as lithium ionic conductivity.
When these materials are used in the negative electrode, the non-aqueous
electrolyte second battery featuring a high reliability in the safety aspect,
high cycle characteristic, a high capacity and excellent high-rate charge and
discharge characteristic can be realized.

Abstract: Un gène de transport d'oligopeptides de Candida albicans, OPT1, a été cloné à partir d'une banque génomique de C. albicans par expression hétérologue dans le mutant de transport de dipeptides ou de tripeptides PB1X-9B de Saccharomyses cerevisiae. Lorsqu'il a été transformé avec un plasmide hébergeant OPT1, PB1X-9B de S. cerevisiae, qui n'exprimait pas d'activité de transport de tétrapeptides/pentapeptides dans les conditions d'utilisation, a été doté d'un phénotype de transport d'oligopeptide comme le montrent la croissance sur le tétrapeptide Lysyle-Leucyle-Leucyle-Glycyle, d'une sensibilité aux tétrapeptides et pentapeptides, et d'une augmentation du taux d'absorption initial du tétrapeptide radiomarqué Lysyle-Leucyle-Glycyle-[3H]Leucine. Le fragment complet de 3,8 kb présentant l'activité de transport d'oligopeptides a été séquencé et un cadre de lecture ouvert de 2349 nucléotides contenant un intron de 58 nucléotides a été identifié. Le produit protéique obtenu, constitué de 783 résidus d'acide aminé contenait 12 régions hydrophobes rappelant une protéine de transport membranaire. Le transporteur d'oligopeptides selon l'invention facilite le ciblage de médicaments antifongiques, notamment anticandida.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un calorimètre indirect permettant de mesurer la consommation en oxygène d'un sujet par unité de temps, et utilisant un embout buccal (12) à travers lequel le sujet respire pendant un certain temps. Des conduits relient l'embout buccal à un débitmètre (14) et à un capnomètre (26), de manière que les inspirations et les expirations du sujet passent dans le débimètre, les expirations passant également dans le capnomètre. Le débimètre et le capnomètre envoient des signaux électriques à un ordinateur (22) qui calcule le CO2 expiré par le sujet au cours du test, en intégrant le contenu en CO2 instantané d'une expiration mesuré par le capnomètre au volume mesuré par le débimètre. Cette quantité est ensuite soustraite du volume expiré, puis leur différence est soustraite du volume inspiré. Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, ce système permet également de mesurer le débit cardiaque du sujet et l'oxygène dégagé.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à un système de soupape de limitation de débit pourvu d'un champignon coulissant (11) dans une chambre et dans l'une des extrémités duquel a été ménagé un orifice, ce qui permet d'adapter les points de consigne du débit auquel le système se fermera. Il est possible de procéder à des réglages de l'extérieur en tournant un élément fileté traversant la soupape, ce qui amène un organe de retenue (37), enfilé dans l'élément susmentionné, à se déplacer sur une plan latéral à l'intérieur de la chambre. Ce déplacement fait qu'une surface oblique de l'organe de retenue entre en contact avec une surface du champignon de même oblique et se déplace relativement à cette dernière. Lorsque le champignon appuie contre l'organe de retenue, étant sollicité par un ressort enroulé (25), il se déplace sur un plan longitudinal à l'intérieur de la chambre, se rapprochant ou s'éloignant de l'orifice. Le fait de tourner l'élément fileté assure une course maximale au champignon et, partant, permet de régler avec précision le débit de seuil de la soupape. Il est possible d'adjoindre au système des mécanismes auxiliaires visant à accroître l'éventail des points de consigne, sans avoir à remplacer le ressort ou à modifier les dimensions de l'orifice, ces mécanismes pouvant être des intercalaires modifiant la tension du ressort et les points de consigne à phases multiples dans le logement de soupape.

Abstract: A method is shown for providing stable communication between a hub earth-station and a VSAT earth-station by regulating the power of signals transmitted via a satellite. In this method, the hub receives a beacon signal from the satellite and a previous outbound signal. The hub then regulates the power of an outbound signal transmitted by the hub to VSAT via the satellite, based on either the beacon signal or the previous outbound signal. The hub then sends a current outbound signal, including signal data and parameter data to the VSAT via the satellite. The VSAT receives the current outbound signal and determines a number of signal properties pertaining to the current outbound signal. The VSAT then regulates the power of an inbound signal transmitted by the VSAT to the hub via the satellite, based on the signal properties, the parameter data, and a set of reference data.
