Abstract: System of electrodes for an electrochemical cell comprises two electrodes: (1) a measuring electrode made of a number of electrically conducting micro-disks (22) spaced evenly over the substrate and connected together electrically; and (2) a generating electrode that is an electrically conducting plate (20) pierced with circular openings (24). System of electrodes for an electrochemical cell comprises a measuring electrode and a generating electrode mounted close to each other on a substrate (10). The micro-disks have a diameter of 2 to 20 micro m and are spaced 100 to 400 micro m apart and the openings have a diameter of 30 to 120 micro m. The substrate is electrically conductive with an electrically insulating layer (14) deposited on it and pierced with circular openings (16). The micro-disks forming the measuring electrode are made of a conducting layer (22) deposited in these openings in contact with the substrate and the generating electrode is made of a conducting layer (20) deposited in the insulating layer. The substrate is a silica made conductive by doping. An electrically conducting layer (12) is deposited on the substrate. Alternatively, the measuring electrode is a conducting layer deposited on the substrate and covered with an insulating layer pierced with circular openings describing the micro-disks. The generating electrode is a conducting layer deposited on the insulating layer. The substrate is then glass or quartz, or a silicon plate coated with an insulating layer or made conductive by doping, with a conductive layer deposited on the substrate. An Independent claim is included for a method of determining the pH of chlorinated water using an electrochemical detector as described above. A first concentration (A) of hypochloric acid is measured when the generating electrode is inactive. The generating electrode is then activated to bring the pH of the water to the micro-disks of the measuring electrode to measure a sufficient level of acidity. A second hypochloric acid concentration (B) is then measured in the acid medium and the pH is determined from the ratio of the two concentrations.

Abstract: Transporting items of bulk, i.e., stacked documents or boxed merchandise, which vary in extent from time to time, in an envelope that gives a desired favorable appearance of containing an item of bulk that is greater than the bulk of the item that is actually the content of the envelope, which motivates the recipient to open the envelope. The envelope is rectangular and at least along three sides has isosceles shaped gussets characterized by progressively diminishing clearance between the sides in the direction of the apex, so that the thickness or bulk of the item in the envelope is effectively engaged by the sides of the isosceles triangles before significant shifting, particularly of stacked documents, can occur as might diminish the perceived bulk based on the external appearance of the envelope.

The axial flow fan blade, object of the present patent, has a lower vortex emission than the blades available on the previous art. This lower vortex emission is responsible for a lower level of pressure fluctuations, which results in a lower noise emission, and is also responsible for a lower energy expense on the vortex formation, which results in an efficiency increase. The present axial flow fan blade can be employed in various applications where it is necessary to move any gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a multifunctional multi-ply layer on a transparent plastic substrate and to a multifunctional multi-ply layer produced thereby. In the process, a multi-ply layer is constructed by a plasma-assisted method on a transparent plastics substrate (1) in an enclosed process by using a microwave plasma source to produce a plasma and continuously maintaining the plasma during the course of the process. A first adhesion-promoting organosilicon polymer layer (2) is subsequently deposited in the microwave plasma, and then cathode sputtering is used to deposit a first ITO layer (3), and a transparent layer of metal and/or of metal oxide and a second ITO layer (3). Finally, an organosilicon polymer layer (5) is deposited. The multifunctional multi-ply layer is composed of a first adhesion-promoting organosilicon polymer layer (2) with a thickness of from 50 to 300 nm, of a first ITO layer (3) with a thickness of from 50 from 300 nm, of at least one transparent layer with a thickness of from 10 to 30 nm of metal and/or of metal oxide, of a second ITO layer (3) with a thickness of from 50 to 300 nm, and of at least one final organosilicon polymer layer (5) with a thickness of from 300 nm to 6 000 nm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and devices for performing endoscopic cannulation, papillotomy and sphincterotomy and similar procedures. According to the present state of the art, endoscopic cannulation of the common bile duct and papillotomy and similar procedures are accomplished by advancing the device into an endoscope/duodenoscope so that the distal tip of the device exits the endoscope adjacent the sphincter muscles at the Papilla of Vater. The endoscope mechanisms are then manipulated to orient the distal tip of the device to the desired position for proper cannulation of the duct. Due to inconsistencies in, for example, the sphincterotome, anatomy, and endoscope manipulation, it is difficult to accurately and consistently position the sphincterotome for proper cannulation. The steerable sphincterotome of the present invention allows the physician to control the position of the distal tip of the device independently of the endoscope and adjust for inconsistencies in the device and the anatomy. According to the present invention, the handle to which the cutting wire is attached is freely rotatable relative to the catheter. The handle, secured to the cutting wire but rotatable relative to the shaft of the catheter, provides a mechanism to rotate the wire, transmitting the force to rotate the device tip. With the handle rotating independently of the shaft at the proximal end, the force can be applied directly to the distal tip without twisting the entire shaft. Also a rotation lock to maintain the orientation of the tip and/or a rotation marking, to indicate the amount of rotation may be included.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un filtre adaptatif mis en oeuvre par un ordinateur (10) traitant un signal d'entrée au moyen d'un algorithme des moindres carrés récursifs en treillis (RLSL) (12) en vue d'obtenir des résidus de prédiction des moindres carrés de type progressif et rétrograde. Un résidu de prédiction est la différence entre un élément de données dans une séquence d'éléments et une prédiction de cet élément à partir d'autres éléments de la séquence. Les résidus de type progressif et rétrograde sont convertis en résidus d'interpolation (14), lesquels constituent des coefficients de vecteur de gain de Kalman non normalisés. Les résidus d'interpolation sont normalisés, d'où la production du vecteur de gain de Kalman (16). Ledit vecteur de gain de Kalman est combiné (18) à des signaux de référence et d'entrée x(t) et y(t). On réalise ainsi des mises à jour pour les coefficients ou les pondérations du filtre en vue de réfléchir ces signaux selon les besoins, ce qui permet d'obtenir un filtrage adaptatif.
