Abstract: This invention relates to the use of estrogen agonists / antagonists for the
manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of conditions that are responsive to
the elevation of testosterone levels in the body. The compositions are comprised of
an estrogen agonist / antagonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier
or diluent. These compositions are effective in treating male subject sexual
dysfunction and timidity in female subjects including post-menopausal women and
are effective in increasing libido in female subjects including post-menopausal
women. In the case of male subject sexual dysfunction, the compositions may also
include a compound which is an elevator of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate
(cGMP). Additionally, the compositions are effective in other conditions whose
etiology is a result of testosterone deficiency or which can be ameliorated by
increasing testosterone levels within the body. Uses according to the invention
include the treatment of conditions that are responsive to elevation of testosterone
levels such as treating male subject sexual dysfunction and timidity in female
subjects including post-menopausal women and the increase of libido of female
subjects including post-menopausal women. The uses according to the invention
are effective while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects
associated with testosterone administration.

Abstract: A turbomachinery blade for use in a turbine blade
array, has a suction surface contour featuring chordwisely
separated, positively curved forward and aft segments  35, 36 
and a negatively curved medial segment  37  chordwisely
intermediate the forward and aft segments. When used in an
array of similar blades operated in a transonic environment,
the inventive blade mitigates overexpansion of working
medium fluid flowing through the interblade passages  17 . As
a result, subsequent recompression of the fluid by an
aerodynamic shocks  31, 32  is less severe, and aerodynamic
inefficiencies related to the presence of the shocks are

measuring the compatibility coefficients of the node-label pairs of the query and
model images based on the binary relation; and measuring the similarity between the
query and model images on the basis of continuous relaxation labeling using the
compatibility coefficient.

Abstract: A timing belt autotensioner includes a mechanism actuated by the reversal of timing belt movement direction. In automotive applications reversal of timing belt direction occurs only rarely under inadvertent or accidental circumstances. Such reversals can cause belt slackening sufficient for a toothed belt to jump gear teeth thereby changing engine cam shaft timing. Four related mechanisms are disclosed, each of which will, upon actuation by belt reversal cause the autotensioner pulley axis of rotation to move in a direction that tightens the belt during reverse movement of the belt. Thus, the belt remains tight to the toothed pulleys preventing jump or skip of the belt until the belt returns to proper forward belt movement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The manufacture of a trench-gate semiconductor device, for example a power transistor or a memory device includes the steps of forming at a surface (10a) of a semiconductor body (10) a first mask (51) having a first window (51a), providing a thin layer of a second material (52) in the first window (51a), forming an intermediate mask (53A, 53B) of a third material having curved sidewalls and using the intermediate mask (53A, 53B) to form two L-shaped parts (52A, 52D and 52B, 52E) of the second material with a second window (52a) which is used to etch a trench-gate trench (20). The rectangular base portion (52D, 52E) of each L-shaped part ensures that the trench (20) is maintained narrow during etching. Narrow trenches are advantageous for low specific on-resistance and low RC delay in low voltage cellular trench-gate power transistors. Narrow deep trenches are also advantageous for cell density in DRAM devices where a memory cell has a switching transistor cell surrounded by a trench-gate and a storage capacitor in a lower part of the same trench.

secondary crash and pushes the stopper (5) into guiding apertures (41)
arranged in an extension to the tilting apertures. The steering
apparatus can realize absorption of energy of a secondary crash by

Abstract: A hose of low fuel permeability has a fuel permeability
in a bent state with R50 not more than three times a fuel
permeability in a straight state, R50 being a bent state where
the hose has its longitudinal axis bent to form an arc having
a diameter of 100 mm. Its low fuel permeability is achieved
if the resin forming its inner wall layer has a melt viscosity
falling within a certain range, which can be obtained by, for
example, increasing the degree of polymerization of the resin,
or grafting a specific side chain to the main chain in each
molecule of the resin, or if the resin has a volume swelling
degree falling within a certain range, which can be obtained
by copolymerizing a monomer having fuel resistance, or blending
a polymer having fuel resistance. The hose maintains its low
fuel permeability even if it may be subjected to a large load
of bending stress as when it is used to form a fluid conveying
line.

corresponding to multiple propagation paths of the signal. Subtractors are
connected in successive stages from the output of the correlator.
Corresponding to the subtractors, path searchers are connected to successive
taps of the subtractors for respectively detecting the delay profiles produced
by the correlator. In each subtractor the output of the corresponding path
searcher is subtracted from the output of the subtractor of preceding stage.
RAKE fingers are provided for despreading the received signal at delay times
respectively determined by the delay profiles detected by the path searchers.
The despread signals are maximal-ratio combined.
