Patent number: 5809448Abstract: The position detector system for guided vehicles has a memory block which stores each journey, divided into sections identified by their theoretical parameters and in which the correction curves are stored; at least one recording unit sensitive to travel in a curve and a relative position recording unit, signals from which are sent to a control unit which using the signals, establishes the profile of variations of the actual parameters of the correction curves and carried out an adjustment based upon achievement of the minimum error in the profiles of coordinates obtained from the theoretical parameters and the actual parameters, determining the absolute real position of the vehicle. The system is especially suited for the railway rolling stock industry.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1995Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.Inventors: Jose Gernan Gimenez, Juan Felix Garcia

Patent number: 5668109Abstract: Peptides derived from the C terminal sequence of sorbin, but containing at least one D-amino acid residue, inhibit pepsin release and are therefore likely to be useful in the treatment of ulcers or oesophagitis. Their salts and substitution derivatives are also claimed as a pharmaceutical compositions containing them. A method for the treatment of a patient suffering from gastric ulcers or oesophagitis comprising the administration of said peptides, is also claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1995Date of Patent: September 16, 1997Assignee: Societe de Conseils de Recherches et D'Applications Scientifiques (S.C.R.A.S.)Inventors: Monique Descroix-Vagne, Danielle Pansu, Thierry Tarrade
