Patent EP-0654961-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FINNEMORE FRED M
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1994-11-24
Abstract: A circuit structure includes spaced apart first and second conductive elements, and a body having two spaced apart points in contact respectively with the first and second conductive elements. An electrically insulating medium is exposed as part of a peripheral outside surface of the body and spans, in the vicinity of the peripheral outside surface, at least a portion of the distance between the first and second conductive elements. An insulating barrier is positioned between the first and second conductive elements and has an aperture through which the body passes. The peripheral outside surface of the body is configured such that the length of the shortest discharge path between the first and second conductive elements is greater than the portion of the shortest distance between the first and second conductive elements which is spanned, in the vicinity of the peripheral outside surface, by the insulating medium. 
     Also described is a method of forming a window in an insulating barrier. A layer of an insulating material is attached to the conductive layer. The heat sinking conductive layer is positioned in a known position relative to a cutting tool. Cuts are made through the insulating material, at predetermined locations relative to the known position of the conductive layer, to define a window in the insulating material. The insulating material is removed in the region of the window to form the aperture. Both the making of the cuts which define the window, and the removal of the material in the region of the window, may be accomplished by use of a laser.

Abstract: Apparatus that implements a nonlinear transfer function (gain) that provides for gamma correction of nonlinear image projectors. The nonlinearity of the transfer function is designed to compensate for the nonlinear light modulator, such as a liquid crystal light valve and cathode ray tube combination, for example, that is used in the image projector. The gamma correction circuit comprises a plurality of amplifiers (30a, 30b, 30c) that include current sources coupled together to sum their output currents, and each amplifier is adapted to implement a predetermined transfer function, and provide differing levels of current. An optional output resistor (RC) may be employed to convert the composite ouptut current into a correponding output voltage. Each of the plurality of amplifiers typically comprises first and second emitter coupled pair transistors (31, 32) plus their associated current sources. This invention corrects the grey scale linearity of the image projector and produces 'soft' breakpoints, creating a relatively smooth transfer function.

Abstract: La synthèse enzymatique d'oligonucléotides comprend, selon l'invention, les étapes suivantes : (a) combinaison d'une amorce et d'un nucléotide bloqué en présence d'une enzyme d'extension de chaîne, le produit amorce-nucléotide bloqué ainsi formé contenant le nucléotide bloqué couplé à l'amorce, à son extrémité 3'; (b) élimination du groupe bloquant de l'extrémité 3' d'un produit amorce-nucléotide bloqué; et (c) répétition du cycle constitué des étapes (a) et (b), le produit amorce-nucléotide de l'étape (b) étant utilisé comme amorce pour l'étape (a) du cycle suivant, ledit cycle comprenant les étapes (a) et (b) étant répété un nombre de fois suffisant pour former le produit oligonucléotidique. Les cycles peuvent être exécutés avec ou sans inactivation du substrat nucléotidique bloqué n'ayant pas réagi, c'est-à-dire la transformation de n'importe quel nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi en une forme non réactive qui est sensiblement moins active en tant que substrat pour l'enzyme d'extension de chaîne. Les cycles peuvent être exécutés avec ou sans élimination du groupe bloquant du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi. Lorsque le nucléotide bloqué utilisé dans un cycle donné ne doit pas être réutilisé dans le cycle suivant, le cycle donné est alors exécuté sans inactivation du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi et, de façon favorable, avec élimination du groupe bloquant du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi. Lorsque le nucléotide bloqué utilisé dans un cycle donné doit être réutilisé dans le cycle suivant, le cycle donné est alors exécuté sans élimination du groupe bloquant du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi, et, de façon favorable, sans inactivation du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi. Ces cycles sont exécutés de préférence dans une cuve unique, sans purification intermédiaire du produit oligonucléotidique. L'élimination du groupe bloquant se fait, de préférence, au moyen d'une enzyme. L'inactivation du nucléotide bloqué n'ayant pas réagi se fait, de préférence, au moyen d'une enzyme ou d'une combinaison d'enzymes.

Abstract: The present invention described provides a start microbial replication factor, as well as methods for assaying and using the start microbial replication factor. A start microbial replication factor can be used to stimulate the growth of bacteria in suspension or bound to a surface. Agents that inhibit or enhance a start microbial replication factor can also be identified. The present invention also describes processes to treat or control the growth of bacteria which are bound to surfaces. Both proliferation and metabolism of bacteria which are adhered to surfaces are independent of both time and nutrient supply. Growth of adherent bacteria is density dependent. The present invention also provides a process to predict when bacterial growth will exhibit rapid growth on a surface. The invention also provides strains of transformed bacteria and methods of using the bacteria strains to measure microbial growth in the presence of absence of a start microbial replication factor. The transformed bacteria have a bacterial reporter gene under the control of a promoter whose expression is coordinately regulated with cell growth.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de détermination de l'orientation angulaire précise d'un symbole de code à barres dans une image de pixels bidimensionnelle. On sélectionne une fenêtre à partir de l'image bidimensionnelle pour la traiter. On définit des informations relatives à la grandeur et à l'orientation des bords pour une pluralité de pixels de la fenêtre sélectionnée. Pour chaque pixel de la pluralité de pixels, on associe la grandeur et l'orientation des bords de chaque pixel avec au moins une des pluralités de plages d'orientation si la grandeur des bords associée au pixel dépasse un certain seuil. Pour chaque plage d'orientation, on détermine une valeur de densité associée à chaque plage d'orientation selon le nombre de pixels associés à la plage d'orientation, on détermine une valeur angulaire moyenne selon les orientations des bords associées à la plage d'orientation, et on détermine une valeur de bruit selon les orientations des bords associées à la plage d'orientation. On sélectionne au moins une plage d'orientation possible selon les valeurs de densité associées. On détermine enfin l'orientation angulaire précise d'un symbole de code à barres selon les orientations des bords associées à la plage d'orientation possible.

Abstract: The melt of a magnesium or an aluminum alloy that have a composition within maximum solubility limits is poured into a billet-forming mold at a selected temperature exceeding the liquidus line of the alloy but not higher by more than 30°C and the melt is cooled to solidify at a cooling rate of at least 1.0°C/sec over the solidification zone so as to form a billet and, thereafter, the billet is heated at a rate of at least 0.5°C/min through the range bound by the solubility line and the solidus line of the alloy and further heated to a given temperature above the solidus line of the alloy and held at that temperature for 5 - 60 minutes, thereby spheroidizing the primary crystals and, thereafter, the billet is further heated to a given molding temperature below the liquidus line of the alloy and the semi-solid billet is fed into a shaping mold and shaped under pressure. Alternatively, the melt of a hypo-eutectic aluminum alloy having a composition at or above maximum solubility limits is poured into a billet-forming mold at a selected temperature exceeding the liquidus line of the alloy but not higher by more than 30°C and the melt is cooled to solidify at a cooling rate of at least 1.0°C/sec over the solidification zone so as to form a billet and, thereafter, the billet is heated to a temperature above the eutectic point of the alloy and the holding time and temperature are selected in such a way that the liquid-phase content of the billet is adjusted to between 20% and 80% and that the primary crystals are spheroidized and, thereafter, the semi-solid billet having the so adjusted liquid-phase content is supplied into a shaping mold and shaped under pressure. By adopting these methods, light metals such as magnesium and aluminum alloys can be shaped under pressure in a simple and convenient way at low cost.
