Abstract: The invention relates to a motor drive for an automatic change-over switch that features an additional manual emergency operation function. The inventive drive is provided with a disk with a peripheral cam that engages in a gate plate. Said gate plate is functionally linked with the rotor of the switch via a pin. According to the invention, in the emergency operation mode, a turning handle is introduced into or placed onto the pin to adjust the switch rotor, thereby effecting a relative movement in the axial direction. Said relative movement releases the engagement between the gate plate and the cam. Once the turning handle is removed, said engagement is restored by means of a spring.

Abstract: A semiconductor device (10) is provided with copper traces (16) for connecting active elements to an external device, and insulating layers of black oxide (90) (cupric oxide) are formed on the traces. The active elements may be, for example, conductors on the active surface of a semiconductor die (12). The external device may be, for example, a memory device or an input/output device. The invention eliminates the need for a resist solder mask. The black oxide (90) prevents solder from adhering to the traces except where desired. The black oxide layers preferably do not cover the entire surfaces of the semiconductor device (10). The oxide layers grow only on the surfaces of the copper traces. Consequently, the dimensions of the finished device may be minimized. Black oxide may also be used to promote adhesion between the die and the substrate.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric transducer including piezoelectric fibers in a polymer matrix is described. The piezoelectric fibers or fiber segments are jacketed with a liquid polymer substance in such a way that a distribution of longitudinal axes of the fibers or fiber segments about a preferential direction occurs. The fibers are compacted among each other and the polymer substance is cured. The resulting composite structure is subsequently so processed that areas of the fibers or fiber segments are exposed along the preferential direction. Then electrical contacts are applied on at least one part of the exposed areas. The method permits the very simple and low-cost manufacture of electro-mechanical transducers made of piezoelectric fibers.

Abstract: A portable phone is equipped with a position detector that detects the geographical position of the portable phone, and a telephone system may ring one or more land-based phones or portable phones according to the geographical position of the portable phone. One or more geographical regions are defined, with corresponding telephone parameters defined for each region. When a portable phone enters a defined region, exits a defined region, or changes between two defined regions, the function of one or more land-based phones or portable phones may change. The preferred embodiments thus allow changing the function of one or more other phones based on the self-detected geographical position of a portable phone. In this manner the convenience of using portable phones is greatly enhanced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pipe coupling (10) of the type where a pipe (12) is freely insertable into the coupling (14) and where a nut (44) causes engagement of a grip ring (38) and gasket (28) with the pipe (12) to provide a seal between the coupling (14) and the pipe (12) , and where within the coupling (14) there is disposed a stop (16) to indicate to a user inserting the pipe (12) freely that the pipe (12) has been inserted to its required location. The stop (16) is located at a position where there is room beyond the stop (16) for the pipe (12) to move into. Tightening of the nut (44) causes the pipe (12) to move further into the coupling beyond the stop(16) . This solves the problem of the pipe being inserted too deeply into the coupling and being deformed when the nut (44) is tightened further.

Abstract: Methods for isothermal exponential amplification of a target polynucleotide are disclosed. The methods employ two transcription modules, the first module providing linear amplification resulting in RNA transcripts, and a second module providing for further (generally cyclical) amplification resulting in more RNA transcripts. In one aspect, the amplification of the first module is composite primer based. In a second aspect, the amplification of the first module is based on target switching to generate a primer extension product comprising a promoter sequence. In all aspects, the RNA transcripts of the first transcription module are subjected to further amplification by creating an intermediate product comprising a double stranded promoter region from which transcription can occur. The invention further provides compositions and kits for practicing said methods, as well as methods which use the amplification results.
