Title: Etiquette de marquage de prix modifiable a distance
Inventor: YOKED YEHUDA
IPC: G06F3/147
Filed: 1999-05-29
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une étiquette de marquage de prix modifiable à distance consistant: en un placard de présentation apposé sur le produit, par exemple en l'un des point de la chaîne de fabrication; en plusieurs champs d'affichage de prix intérieurs au placard; en un cornet récepteur/décodeur placé sur la placard, et recevant des signaux d'un lieu éloigné et les décodant en vue de leur affichage dans un champ d'affichage. L'étiquette de marquage permet en outre au détaillant de la confidentialité et le secret des informations de prix relatives à une marchandise particulière la marchandise laquelle ne passe pas par un fournisseur ou autre tiers qui pourrait prendre connaissance de la stratégie de prix du détaillant. Ladite étiquette de marquage est également munie d'un transpondeur confirmant la réception et l'acceptation des informations de prix émises depuis un lieu éloigné permettant d'effectuer des inventaires des stocks à des dates choisies ou lors de chaque modification du prix de la marchandise. Les champs d'affichage sont électroniques, par exemple du type affichage à cristaux liquides ou encre électronique.

Title: Procede et dispositif de retraitement automatique d"echantillons de tissus
Inventor: BAUNOCH DAVID
IPC: G01N1/30
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: L"invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de retraitement automatique d"un spécimen, aux fins d"examen au microscope. Le traitement d"un spécimen, aux fins d"examen au microscope, consiste à fixer celui-ci, et à préparer un spécimen incorporé à partir du spécimen fixé. Il existe des cas dans lesquels, une fois que le spécimen a été traité, il est nécessaire de le retraiter, par suite de la contamination provoquée par des réactifs lors du traitement, ou par suite d"une fixation inadéquate. Ce système retraite automatiquement un spécimen en enlevant le matériau résiduel d"incorporation, à partir de l"échantillon, au moyen d"un agent de clarification et d"un agent de déshydratation, et en enlevant l"agent de déshydratation au moyen d"un fluide aqueux.

Abstract: A theft resistant valve cap including a liner (11) adapted for threaded engagement with a standard pneumatic tire stem valve, a sleeve (13) rotatably mounted with the liner to shroud it and an interlocking feature to selectively prevent axial displacement between the liner and the sleeve. The liner includes a hollow body with first and second opposed ends that features shoulders (29a) positioned proximate to one of said opposed ends. The shoulders, when employed with the sleeve rotatably mounted with the liner to shroud it, facilitates restricting removal of the cap from the valve stem to authorized individuals, only. Specifically, an interlocking mechanism extends between the liner and the sleeve and limits axial movement therebetween, while allowing rotational movement. To remove the cap from the valve stem, a key is employed which forms an interference fit with the shoulders in the liner, once exposed.
