Patent EP-0613231-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUSCH PETER DIPL-ING FH
IPC: H02M3/10
Filed: 1994-02-18
Abstract: Known step-up/step-down voltage converters have problems when starting up after switching on, which arise in that the full value of an input voltage (Uin) is applied as soon as it is switched on, whereas no output voltage (Uout) is yet present. Switching logic (UL) recognises the lack of output voltage (Uout) and switches in step-up voltage conversion operation, although step-down voltage conversion operation is correct in this case. In order to eliminate this problem, a decision criterion for forced switching on of step-down voltage conversion operation is introduced. According to the decision criterion, step-down voltage conversion operation is switched on if the input voltage (Uin) is greater than the output voltage (Uout). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Using semiconductor switches which can be turned off, it is possible to control the alternating current flowing through a load using the phase-gating principle or the phase-chopping principle. However, it is necessary to operate with phase-gating for an inductive load and with phase-chopping for a capacitive load. A method and a device are intended to be created which allow no attention to be paid to the respective type of load. To this end, according to the invention, a test program is initiated first of all when the mains voltage is applied, by means of which the type of load is determined and, subsequently, phase-gating is used for an inductive load and phase-chopping for a capacitive and/or resistive load. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radiation analysis apparatus is provided having means for correcting errors in a pulse-height distribution due to differential non-linearities of the analog-to-digital converter that is employed for digitising the detector signals. Correction is performed by multiplying counts by correction factors so as to form corrected counts constituting a corrected pulse-height spectrum. Correction factors are obtained by supplying to the analog-to-digital converter a known control-measurement detector signal having a known corresponding ideal pulse-height spectrum. Comparison of the pulse-height spectrum actually formed upon supplying the control-measurement detector signal with the ideal pulse-height spectrum provides correction factors that are stored in a memory means. Generator signals obtained during radiation analysis lead to counts to be corrected which are supplied to a multiplication means together with respective correction factors such that corrected counts are formed constituting a corrected pulse-height distribution being supplied to a display device.

Abstract: On a mis au point un procédé de revêtement intérieur de pipelines et de passages dans lequel on utilise un tube de revêtement imprégné d'une résine synthétique durcissable, lequel est rempli d'eau chaude afin de pousser le tube par pression contre la surface du pipeline ou du passage, et également de durcir à chaud la résine. Une fois le durcissement effectué, le revêtement reste libre dans la surface du pipeline ou du passage. Dans cette invention, on effectue la même opération de revêtement, mais on procède au chauffage par étapes en isolant des longueurs du tube de revêtement et en faisant circuler l'eau chaude dans les longueurs calorifugées, tour à tour. L'avantage considérable obtenu réside dans le fait que l'on n'a besoin de chauffer que très peu d'eau.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à une stratégie thérapeutique impliquant (1) l'identification d'allèles alternatifs de gènes codant pour des protéines vitales pour la viabilité ou à la croissance cellulaire et de la perte d'un de ces allèles dans des cellules cancéreuses due à une perte d'hétérozygosité (LOH) et (2) le développement d'inhibiteurs présentant une spécificité élevée pour l'allèle alternatif unique restant du gène vital retenu par la cellule cancéreuse après que la LOH a eu lieu. Les inhibiteurs de l'invention sont spécifiques d'un allèle alternatif d'un gène codant pour une protéine vitale pour la vitalité ou la croissance cellulaire. Le gène ciblé comprend deux alléles alternatifs, les inhibiteurs de l'invention ne bloquant qu'un des deux allèles alternatifs encore présents dans les cellules cancéreuses. L'expression à l'inhibiteur inhibe ou détruit les cellules cancéreuses ayant subi une LOH. Une protéine est encore susceptible d'être exprimée dans les cellules normales exposées à l'inhibiteur par l'allèle alternatif non bloqué. Cet effet différentiel de l'inhibiteur par rapport aux cellules cancéreuses et aux cellules normales explique l'indice thérapeutique élevé des inhibiteurs de l'invention lorsqu'ils sont utilisés comme agents antinéoplasiques.

Abstract: Various dual-medium articles (10, 150, 200, 250, 300) which advantageously combine two mediums, metal for appearance and durability, and cardboard which affords high quality printing. The articles (10, 150, 200, 250, 300) include a generally rectangular metal substrate (12, 160, 160', 212, 324) having front and rear sides, and a cardboard insert sheet (56, 174, 174', 202, 326) adjacent the rear side. The metal substrate (12) includes a central main portion (20), four edge marginal portions (24, 26, 28, 30) terminating in respective substrate edges (32, 34, 36, 38), and four corner marginal portions (40, 42, 44, 46). The marginal portions (24, 26, 28, 30, 40, 42, 44, 46) surround the central main portion (20), sharing respective boundaries therewith, and are rolled towards the substrate rear side and around such that the substrate edges (32, 34, 36, 38) contact the insert sheet (56) so as to hold the insert sheet (56) in position. The rolled marginal portions together define a continuous bead (62) around the periphery of the card without any exposed sharp edges. In some embodiments the rolled edges are partially replaced by hinge sleeves (180, 180', 332, 334). Thus, specific embodiments include a greeting card (150) having two elements (152, 154) joined by a hinge (156), and a gift greeting box (300) with an insert sheet (326) in the cover (322), with a hinge (330) joining the cover (322) to a receptacle base (302). Another embodiment takes the form of a stand-up indicia-bearing article such as a calendar (200), wherein the insert sheet (202) is die cut to form a pop-out easel (210).
