Patent EP-1046452-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAEV ROMAN GR
IPC: G01N29/24
Filed: 2000-03-25
Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode assembly for a spot welder
which has an acoustic sensor built therein. In a preferred embodiment of the
present invention, a spot welder has a first and second electrode assembly
according to the present invention. During welding, the acoustic sensor from the
first electrode assembly selectively generates a burst of acoustic energy which
passes through a weld subject and is received by the second electrode
assembly. The acoustic sensor in the second transducer then emits an output
signal, representative of the geometry of the weld nugget, to a computer.

Abstract: This invention relates to support garments which comprise circular knit fabrics
having relatively high amounts of spandex material as well as sufficient amounts of
other fibers to simultaneously provide maximum support and maximum comfort to a
wearer. Such high-spandex content garment fabrics are novel to the industry since the
permissible added amount of spandex within such fabrics has been limited due to the
power, modulus strength, and elongation of such fibers. Although spandex provides
desirable properties within certain garments (such as brassieres, girdles, medical
braces, athletic supporters, and the like), previous attempts at producing high-spandex-content
fabrics and garments produced constrictive articles which proved too
uncomfortable to wear. The inventive fabrics and garments provide such desirable
spandex properties while also increasing the comfortability to the wearer. The method
of producing such fabrics is also contemplated within this invention.

control electrode and the second main electrode region during the
periods when the highside-output transistor is in the end of reverse
conducting state and reverse recovery state. Or, the charges are
pulled out by a providing a potential having an opposite polarity to

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory that has a plurality of floating gate type cell transistors (MC0,MC1,...) comprises a read buffer circuit (PB), connected to the bit line, that detects the threshold voltage states in the cell transistor. Each cell transistor can hold 2 N  threshold voltage states and accordingly, the read buffer circuit reads N bits of data. For this purpose, the read buffer circuit has a latch circuit (LATCH) that latches the read data in accordance with the detected threshold voltage state. This latch circuit has a first (N17, N20) and second (N16, N18) latch reversal circuit for reversing the latched state to the first or second state. When the read buffer circuit (PB) reads the first bit being held in the cell transistor, the latch circuit in its initial state is reversed or not reversed by the first latch reversal circuit (N17, N20) in accordance with the detected first and second threshold voltage state, or third and fourth threshold voltage state, and that latch state is output as the first data. Furthermore, when the lower order second bit held in the cell transistor is read next, the read buffer circuit is reversed or not reversed from the latch state corresponding to the first data above by the first latch reversal circuit in accordance with the detected first or second threshold voltage state. Then, it is reversed or not reversed by the second latch reversal circuit (N16, N18) in accordance with the detected third or fourth threshold voltage state and the latch state is output as the second data.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de lixiviation biologique permettant de récupérer du métal dans un minerais à teneur métallique. Ce minerais est mis en contact avec un micro-organisme sélectif par rapport à l'oxydation du soufre. Un composé contenant du soufre est mélangé avec le micro-organisme avant, pendant ou après le contact avec le minerais afin de former systématiquement de l'acide sulfurique et de lixivier le métal issu du minerais. Ce minerais, qui se présente sous la forme d'une suspension boueuse, d'un tas ou d'une charge dans une cuve, est lixivié pendant une durée suffisante pour dissoudre le métal dans le minerais et former un lixiviat riche en métal et un résidu de minerais. Le métal peut ensuite être extrait du lixiviat riche en métal. Le minerais contenant du métal peut contenir des métaux de base, des métaux précieux ou des métaux du groupe du platine. Lorsque le lixiviat riche en métal se forme, le résidu de minerais peut être nouvellement traité afin de récupérer tout métal précieux ou du groupe du platine qui sont éventuellement présents.
