Abstract: Information technique L'attache rapide d'excavation powerlock est fabriquée d'acier et utilise une fermeture par cale (type wedge). Cette fermeture peut-être actionnée soit de façon mécanique ou hydraulique. La valve utilisée pour la fermeture ou l'ouverture est muni d'un dispositif de sécurité qui évite le relâchement du mécanisme en cas de panne hydraulique. La pression hydraulique d'opération est de 1500 psi.     Résumé de la demande Les attaches rapides actuelles ont une déportation qui diminue de 20% la force de la pelle et si elles ont l'option réversible c'est 30%. Les attaches nécessitent des coûts d'entretien importants et sont peu polyvalentes.     Vallée a mis au point un concept innovateur permettant à une attache rapide d'excavatrice une déportation minimale, un coût d'entretien moindre, une réversabilité et une polyvalence. Cette attache rapide est utilisée pour permettre à une pelle excavatrice la fixation rapide d'un godet.     Domaine d'application Génie mécanique, équipement lourd.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a machine structural element from a molded composite material. The manufacturing method includes manufacturing of an abradable layer made integrally from the material of the element. The method consists in adding a filler material to the resin at the surface to be made abradable, the filler material being able to disintegrate, such as e.g. transitioning to vapor phase, during the heat treatment of polymerizing the resin in order to create porosity inside the layer. The porosity thus created provides the relevant surface with properties of abradability.

Title: Commande de forage directionnel utilisant une rotation de foret modulee
Inventor: FARLEY STEVEN REID
IPC: E21B47/024
Filed: 2008-05-23
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système servant à commander la direction d'un trou de forage progressant sous l'action de découpe d'un foret rotatif par la variation périodique de la vitesse de rotation du foret. Le système de commande comprend un moteur disposé dans une sous-section de carter pliée et raccordé de manière fonctionnelle à un train de tiges de forage et au foret. La vitesse de rotation du foret varie de façon périodique par la variation périodique de la vitesse de rotation du moteur ou par la variation périodique de la vitesse de rotation du train de tiges de forage. La rotation à vitesse périodique du foret donne lieu à une découpe préférentielle du matériau à partir d'un arc prédéterminé de la paroi du trou de forage qui, à son tour, donne lieu à une déviation du trou de forage. Le train de tiges de forage ainsi que le moteur de forage tournent en même temps pendant le forage droit et dévié du trou de forage.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a solid state drive is described. The method involves determining whether a free space fragment on the SSD is smaller than the threshold fragment size. If the free space fragment on the SSD is smaller than the threshold fragment size, eliminating the free space fragment. If the free space fragment on the SSD is not smaller than the threshold fragment size, retaining the free space fragment for storing data. Elimination of the free space fragments smaller than the threshold fragment size results in a fewer number of free space fragments being used when writing to the SSD, allowing for improved SSD performance.

Title: Improved peptide identification and quantitation by merging ms/ms spectra
Inventor: ZHANG QIANG
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2009-02-02
Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of merging spectral data resulting from collision fragmentation pro-cesses, such as, for example, Pulsed Q Dissociation (PQD), high-energy collision-induced dissociation (HCD), electron transfer disassociation (ETD), collision-induced dissociation (CID), and photo-dissociation processes, such as, but not limited to, infrared multi-photon photo-dissociation (IRMPD), to provide the desired qualitative and quantitative information on a single peptide. By merging such ETD, CID, or IRMPD scans with corresponding HCD scans that are obtained on the same precursor, the quality of the resulting spectrum is increased so as to provide more confident identification of peptides and correspondingly the quantifica-tion is enhanced because the HCD method of the MS/ MS spectrum produces higher abundances of detectable reporter ions. Such methods, as disclosed herein, are especially applicable for peptides which experience predominant neutral loss in the ion trap, e.g., phosphorylated.
