Abstract: A machine tool (1) of the transfer type comprises a
rotary unit (2) that carries a plurality of
gripping elements (6) designed to hold a workpiece
(7). As it rotates, the rotary unit (2) forms a
machining path (8) passing through a plurality of
machining stations (9). The machining stations (9)
comprise a loading station (10) where a unit (11)
feeds at least one bar (12) having a machinable end
(12a) that corresponds to the workpiece (7). The
bar (12) is fed into a primary spindle (15) forming
part of a lathe (14). A secondary spindle (40) is
located in front of the primary spindle (15) to
hold the end (12a) of the bar (12) when the end
(12a) is cut off from the rest of the bar (12) to
make the workpiece (7) and to move it close to a
corresponding gripping element (6).

Title: Single component adhesive with an adaptable open joint time
Inventor: PLUNDRICH WINFRIED
IPC: C08G59/68
Filed: 2000-01-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a one-component epoxy resin adhesive which is elasticated with silicone rubber and whose open joint time is adaptable to whichever production process it is being used in by the concentration of UV initiator and/or the duration and/or intensity of UV activation and which is therefore particularly suitable for automatable manufacturing processes, since the workpieces after initial fixing require no additional mounts even during thermal aftercuring. This adhesive is preferentially suitable for the extensive adhesive bonding of permanent magnets, such as in the assembly of a permasyn motor, for example.

Patent EP-1224657-A1 (EP)
Inventor: WEITBRUCH SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04N5/66
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: With the new plasma display panel technology new kinds of artefacts can occur in video pictures due to the principle that brightness control is done with a modulation of small lighting pulses in a number of periods called sub-fields. These artefacts are commonly described as 'dynamic false contour effect'. To compensate for this effect motion estimators are used and with the resulting motion vectors corrected sub-field code words are calculated for the critical pixels. Today's motion estimators work with the luminance signal component of the pixels. This is not sufficient for plasma displays. It is therefore proposed to make the motion vector calculation separately for the colour components (R, G, B) and with either the sub-field code words as data input or with single bit data input for performing motion estimation separately for single sub-fields or for a sub-group of bits from the sub-field code words. The proposal also concerns apparatuses for performing the inventive method.

Patent EP-1258917-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FUJII TOSHIAKI
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 2000-11-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of and an apparatus for preventing a
substrate from being oxidized to suppress the production of a natural oxide film in an
ordinary air atmosphere rather than a vacuum or inactive gas atmosphere. The present
invention is characterized in that a substrate is stored in a closed space surrounded by a
light-shielding member to suppress the growth of a natural oxide film on the substrate. In
the space, it is preferable to store the substrate while removing a gaseous contaminant or
both a gaseous contaminant and a particulate substance. Since a semiconductor substrate
is stored in the space surrounded by the light-shielding member, no light is applied to the
surface of the semiconductor substrate, thus suppressing the generation of a natural oxide
film. The method is capable of suppressing the generation of a natural oxide film easily at
a low cost without using a vacuum or inactive gas atmosphere because the process can be
performed within air.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for treating molten metal to achieve
effective removal of such unwanted inclusions as gases, alkali
metals, entrained solids, and the like. The method comprises
introducing molten metal into a trough, such as the trough
provided between a melting furnace and a casting machine,
providing at least one mechanically movable gas injector
submerged within the metal in the trough and injecting a gas
into the metal in a part of the trough forming a treatment
zone through the injector(s) to form gas bubbles in the metal
while moving the injector(s) mechanically to minimize bubble
size and maximise distribution of the gas within the metal.
The injectors are preferably rotated and comprise a rotor body
having a cylindrical side surface and a bottom surface, at
least three openings in the side surface spaced symmetrically
around the rotor body, at least one opening in the bottom
surface, and at least one internal passageway for gas delivery
and an internal structure for interconnecting the openings in
the side surface, the openings in the bottom surface and the
internal passageway. The internal structure is adapted to
cause gas bubbles emanating from the internal passageway to
break up into finer bubbles and to cause a metal/gas mixture
to issue from the openings in the side surface in a generally
horizontal and radial manner.
