Método y sistema para desactivar de manera segura minas terrestres de todo tipo, enterradas en un campo minado, que sirve indistintamente para ubicar, remover y detonar las minas terrestres, comprende disponer de una fuente de agua, u otro fluido, que se presuriza y se dirige hacia el campo minado donde se descarga en uno ó más chorros con una fuerza tal que haga aparecer, remover o detonar las minas enterradas en él, luego se reponen eventuales elementos usados para trasladar y descargar el flujo de agua u otro fluido presurizado dañados con las explosiones, y se continua con el barrido del campo minado. Mediante un sensor acústico se captan los cambios de sonido que transmite el o los chorros del agua o del otro fluido al chocar con objetos no detonados en el campo minado, permitiendo hacer un mapa con ellos, para su ulterior neutralización.

The present invention relates to a coccidiosis vaccine to protect poultry against Eimeria infection, comprising a recombinant avian adenovirus vector comprising in frame a (heterologous) promoter linked to a hydrophobic signal sequence for membrane anchoring, or linked to an hydrophobic secretion signal and a cleavage site to allow secretion; a multiple cloning site for in frame insertion of an Eimeria antigen ORF such as derived from the r56, 82 kDa, and/or TFP250 antigens; a polyadenylation signal; and an avian adenovirus genome.

The present invention relates to a process for the separation of gases which comprises putting a mixture of gases in contact with a porous material, containing a silica matrix in which one or more metal oxides are possibly uniformly dispersed, which are selected from transition metals or from metals of groups IIIA, IVA and VA, having a surface area larger than 500 m2/g, a pore volume between 0.3 and 1.3 ml/g, a pore diameter smaller than 40 Angstrom and a XRD powder spectrum which does not have a crystalline structure, does not show any peak, and has a single broad diffraction line, or, in any case, a wide¬ spread scattering at angular values not higher than 2θ = 5° with CuKa radiation, without any other scattering phenomena coherent for higher angular values. By means of the process of the present invention, the selective adsorption is obtained of at least one of the gases forming the gaseous mixture. These adsorbing materials are regenerable and are particularly suitable for bulk removal operations of acid gases from natural gas.

The present invention refers to a wellhead valve system for adjusting the flow, for example, of hydrocarbon, comprising a hydraulic control valve (10) for opening the wellhead made up of a valve body (11) provided with a pipe (14,15) for the passage of a flow (F) of fluids, having an inlet opening (12) and an outlet opening (13), interposed between the inlet opening (12) and the outlet opening (13) being an adjustable orifice (16); an actuator (24) adapted to command the valve (10) to close and open, in which the actuator (24) operates on opening and closing means (20) of the adjustable orifice (16); and a position gauge (17) adapted to determine the degree of opening of the adjustable orifice (16), and is characterized in that the position gauge (17) is integral with the opening and closing means (20) of the adjustable orifice (16). Thanks to the accurate measurements carried out by the position gauge (17), it is possible to determine the gas/liquid monophase and/or biphase flow rate value accurately and instantly, based upon data measured by a plurality of fluid and/or flow parameters sensors (22, 23), comprising pressure sensors (22) and temperature sensors (23), preferably positioned integral with the valve body (11).

Stable solid pharmaceutical composition containing amlodipine or pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof and bisoprolol or pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof as well as pharmaceutically accepted excipients, packaged in a damp- proof package and further comprising less than 0.5 % of the compound of the formula (3) based on the weight of the active ingredients.

Se describe un sistema de prepago para suministrar agua o gas mediante tarjeta inteligente inalámbrica. La presente invención se refiere también a un medidor bidireccional especialmente diseñado para registrar electrónicamente el consumo de agua o gas.

The invention Menstrual hygiene-practical panties consists of panties that have an insert part (1) for the Sanitary napkins with wings on the edges, that is presented in Picture 1, the insert part consists of an insert part and two openings of the insert part (2) presented in Picture 1, in the openings the Sanitary napkins with wings on the edges are inserted. The Sanitary napkins with wings on the edges are attached on the insert part (1) presented in Picture 1 and the effects of the wings on the sanitary napkins and their purpose is strengthened through the insert part, while the esthetics, the comfort and the efficiency of the panties and the Sanitary napkins with wings are improved. From the outside, the Sanitary napkins are not visible because they are hidden in the insert part and the Menstrual hygiene-practical panties look like shown on picture number 2.

This system enables the end-user to access the relevant information regarding the tourist offer in a simple and user-friendly way, using his existing mobile device, in the format that interests him (text, image, audio message, computer animation... etc.). The system is meant as a tourist guide that combines interactive and multimedia content with specific technical features of the mobile device like using the mobile network infrastructure in transmission of voice, data and SMS as well as using the advanced functions of the mobile device like for example camera or GPS receiver. The system shows the information in the following categories: interactive map, explore, rooms, sights, fun, gastro, news, info and about the publisher. The system has an integrated option of self-distribution. The user can forward the system installation to other users in a simple way through a part of the user interface which is directly integrated with a technical feature of a mobile device that allows of sending of text (SMS) messages.

Didactic tools for learning mathematics contain a set of jigsaws, inserters, abacuses, three-dimensional arrangeable and separable models, mental maps, arranging pads, Multiplication tables without numbers, cylinders, and other spatially situated mathematical sizes and open the possibility of many combinations for arranging and displaying mathematical contents. These contents range from mathematical basis (relations, numbers and spaces, shapes and quantities) to theorems and rules of higher mathematical levels (multiplication, division, squaring, cubing, Pitagora's and binomial theorem, sum of square sequences and other regularities, some of which are new and unknown). With their inner consistency and coherence, they enable numerous combinations and research, and every tools can function independently in a clear and unambiguous way, based on natural mental abilities of logics and perception, close even to the earliest pre-school age. There is no need for additional instructions and lessons, or the knowledge of mathematical language, because the rules and relations are not proved by formulas, but are shown in a visible and tangible way. All this is achieved with a realistic display of quantities and their relations, the shape, position and colour, with the help of squares and cubeletes. It all enables arranging, categorizing, equalizing, joining, sequencing etc., so that adding or mere counting is sufficient for checking the visible quantities and their relations. They vividly enable discovery and understanding of mathematical laws by direct noting, by themselves. In that way they provide the joy of cognition, which enables more pleasurable, faster and easier understanding, practicing and memorizing.
