Abstract: In order to locate, trace, and identify hidden elongated objects, such as buried fiber optic cables, the objects are provided with elongated permanent magnet identifier devices having magnetic fields that may be detected at a distance from the objects. In one embodiment the identifier device comprises an elongated strip magnetized in the direction of its width and formed into a long-pitch helix, producing a characteristic "magnetic field signature" that enhances detection and identification of the object, as by a portable gradiometer that is moved over the surface of the earth along a line generally parallel to the length of the object. This embodiment may provide a magnetic field that diminishes as the square of the distance from the identifier device (rather than the usual cube of the distance), thereby enabling detection at substantial distances. In a second embodiment distinctive magnetic field signatures are produced by arrays of spaced permanent magnets, the fields of which add and subtract to provide resultant magnetic fields with peaks and valleys along a line generally parallel to the length of the object.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor thin film based on crystallizing a thin film crystal from an amorphous thin film by solid phase growth. A plurality of small regions which are preferentially made nuclei generation points are formed at predetermined positions in the amorphous thin film. Solid phase growth from single nuclei formed in the small regions is preferentially effected by heating to form a crystalline semiconductor thin film in which the grain boundary positions are adjusted to the desired positions. This crystalline semiconductor thin film is subjected to a heat treatment to reduce defects in crystal grains.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container for holding a stack of articles, in particular haberdashery articles, such as shoe laces (50). A removal opening (6) is provided in one end side (2) of the container (1). In order to provide a container (1) which can be inserted in a sales stand and can hold haberdashery articles, such as shoe laces or the like, packaged in the simplest manner whilst retaining a simple construction, easy removal possibility and visually attractive display, provision is made for the removal opening (6) to be located with spacing (a) above the container bottom (7) and for an insert (10) to be arranged in the container (1) similar to an oblique plane. This oblique plane extends from the lower edge (8) of the removal opening (6) adjacent to the container bottom (7) to the lower edge (11) of the other end side (3) adjoining the container bottom (7). The haberdashery articles thus cannot slip out of the removal opening, but can easily be gripped for removal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un système de correction d'erreurs de pas d'engrenages d'une commande numérique d'une machine-outil comprend au moins une paire d'engrenages disposées dans une position intermédiaire sur une trajectoire de transmission pour transmettre le couple d'un servomoteur à un matériau devant être entraîné. Une valeur de correction d'erreur de pas par angle de rotation prédéterminé d'un engrenage est individuellement mesurée pour chaque période de rotation de chaque engrenage et enregistrée dans une mémoire rémanente (14b). Un élément de calcul d'erreur de pas (E) se réfère à un registre de valeur actuelle (D), lit une donnée d'erreur de pas correspondant à la position actuelle à partir de la mémoire rémanente (14b) et calcule une valeur de correction d'erreur de pas superposée, en ajoutant les données d'erreurs de pas. Cette valeur de correction d'erreur de pas superposée est ajoutée par un additionneur (C) à une impulsion d'interpolation produite à partir d'un élément d'interpolation (B) pour produire une impulsion de sortie où l'erreur de pas est corrigée, et cette impulsion de sortie est transmise à un circuit de commande d'axe (18). Ainsi, une correction précise d'erreur de pas peut être effectuée en proportion au niveau de superposition de la valeur de correction d'erreur de pas d'engrenage de chaque engrenage même lorsque le nombre desdites valeurs de correction pour chaque engrenage n'est pas trés grand.

Abstract: A method of mutagenesis by which a predetermined amino acid is introduced into each and every position of a selected set of positions in a preselected region (or several different regions) of a protein to produce library of mutants. The method is based on the premise that certain amino acids play crucial role in the structure and fuction of proteins. Libraries can be generated which contain a high proportion of the desired mutants and are of reasonable size for screening. This libraries can be used to study the role of specific amino acids in protein structure and function and to develop new or improved proteins and polypeptides such as enzymes, antibodies, single chain antibodies and catalytic antibodies.

Title: Anchoring device for the tensioning rod of an anchor made from fibre-laminate
IPC: E04C5/12
Filed: 1992-12-18
Granted: 1997-04-23
Abstract: A tensioning rod (5) made of fibre-laminate, for use as an anchor element in foundation engineering or mining or as a reinforcing element for concrete in the areas intended for anchoring, is provided with continuous ribs (10) which are produced by embossing, run along a helical line and form a thread (9) and onto which an anchoring body (12) provided with a corresponding internal thread can be screwed. To obtain a radial pressure on the tensioning rod (5) as a result of wedge action, the angle of inclination (alpha) of the flanks (14) of the ribs (10) to the longitudinal axis of the tensioning rod (5) is less than 45 degrees; the ribs preferably form a flat trapezoidal thread. In an anchoring body (12) which is rigid against annular tensile forces, the radial applied pressure on the tensioning rod (5) is increased by the flat setting angle of the flanks (14) of the thread ribs (10), which leads to a greater depth effect and to a higher shearing resistance. By means of annular tensile rigidity of the anchoring body (12) variable over the length of the thread engagement, specific widening of the anchoring body (12) can be achieved at the point of high stress concentrations, with the result that a change in length of the tensioning rod (5) can occur. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1 A pipe screw union is intended to be constructed such that the sealing ring (15) is still subjected to deformation forces even when the pipe (16) is displaced in the axial direction and at the same time drives the clamping ring (14). 2.2 In addition to the clamping ring (14) and the sealing ring (15), the pipe screw union according to the invention also contains a compression ring (13) which engages over the outer wedge surface and that end surface of the clamping ring (14) which faces the sealing ring (15). When the cap nut (11) is tightened, the compression ring (13) transmits the forces to the clamping ring (14) and to the sealing ring (15). If the pipe (16) is moved away from the basebody (12) of the pipe screw union (10), the compression ring (13) sticks in its position so that the deformation forces act on the sealing ring (15) as before. As a result of the movement of the clamping ring (14), it is pressed against the pipe (16) with an increased force. 2.3 The pipe screw union according to the invention is particularly suitable for gas-tight connections. <IMAGE>
