Patent EP-0438773-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DA RE MARIO
IPC: B05D7/16
Filed: 1990-12-24
Abstract: The method of manufacturing a painted motor-vehicle body comprising drawn sheet-metal components, comprises the steps of prepainting the sheet metal with at least one anchoring coat (primer) and at least one covering paint coat, drawing the prepainted sheet metal to the desired shapes and assembling the prepainted, drawn components. 
     To advantage, the sheet metal is prepainted by a continuous process with the application of a polyurethane paint cross-linked by the permeation of a vaporised amine which can cause the cross-linking of the paint.

Abstract: A scroll compressor (16) includes an electric motor formed of a stator (25) and a rotor (39), the rotor having a shaft which is supported by upper and lower bearings (23, 28). To ensure precise alignment of the upper bearing (23), lower bearing (28), and stator (25) within the tubular shell (11), the lower bearing (28) is a two-piece assembly comprising an outer ring portion (29) and an inner bearing plate (34). The upper bearing (23), the stator (25), and lower bearing outer ring portion (29) are inserted into the tubular shell (11). An alignment arbor (50), in the form of a spindle carrying the lower bearing outer ring portion (29), is inserted into the stator (25). The upper bearing (23) is installed in the shell (11) onto the arbor. The alignment arbor is expanded against the stator (25), the upper bearing (23) and the lower bearing outer ring portion (29) to ensure precise alignment. Then the upper bearing (23), crankcase and lower bearing outer ring portions (29) are affixed, e.g. welded to the tubular shell (11). The arbor is collapsed and withdrawn. Then the rotor (39) is inserted, and the inner bearing plate (34) of the lower bearing (28) is installed to journal the lower end of the rotor shaft (40). This compressor assembly significantly simplifies the assembly process while achieving precise alignment. This yields improved reliability, startability, and efficiency.

Abstract: Device for forming a continuous electrolytic deposit of uniform thickness on a mobile substrate, in which a cathode consisting of the mobile substrate travels in front of an anode with which it defines an electrolysis gap of small height. The anode consists of a plurality of anode modules (3) mechanically independent of each other. The electrical and/or hydraulic circuits feeding the anode modules (3) comprise flexible members (15) between the stationary sources of current and/or electrolyte and the anode modules. In addition the anode modules are provided with means (4, 9, 10) by which they bear on the cathode (2) or on a surface (1) connected directly to the cathode. The bearing means (4) of at least one anode module (3) preferably comprise means for adjusting the distance between the anode module (3) and the cathode (2) or the surface (1) connected directly to the cathode. These bearing means (4) are, for example, skids or rollers which are optionally fitted at the arm end (9, 10; 13) supporting the anode modules (3).

Abstract: Two aluminum-copper foils are joined with their aluminum surfaces in contact for use as an outer layer material (20) of a multilayer printed wiring board. In producing this board, an outer layer material, a prepreg (2), an inner layer material (1), a prepreg (3) and an outer layer material (21) are built up in this order. Therefore, the aluminum portion of the outer layer material (20) works as a conventional mirror plate and a dummy plate. Further, the aluminum surfaces can be easily released from each other and work as conventional mold releasing films. The outer layer material (20) has aluminum surfaces tightly adhered to each other and does not permit resin scums or foreign matter to adhere thereto unlike that of the prior art, this structure further prevents scars or damage caused by impact from developing. Moreover, since no mirror plate is used, the operation steps can be simplified and the built-up operation can be easily and automatically carried out. It is also possible to use plastic metal foils of aluminum alloy, copper, brass, soft steel, lead alloy and the like instead of the aluminum foil.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré de détection d'une séquence cible d'acide nucléique à l'aide d'un système rapporteur d'ARN réplicable. On utilise deux réactions induites par polymérase, afin de produire un gène spécifique à une cible, contenant une séquence d'ADN destinée à un ARN réplicable. La transcription du gène spécifique à une cible permet d'obtenir un ARN réplicable amplifié par réplication. La synthèse du gène et de l'ARN réplicable est strictement dépendante de l'interaction spécifique avec la séquence cible. Par conséquent, le signal amplifié (ARN) est dépendant de la cible et le signal de fond est réduit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a mold material used for obtaining a mold for casting metals such as Zn, AI and the like or molding resins. In the method, the short fibers having an aspect ratio of 30 to 300 and obtained by cutting ferritic stainless steel long fibers having a width of 100 µm or less, ferritic stainless steel powder and at least one of Cu powder and Cu alloy powder are used as raw materials. The raw materials are blended to obtain a material mixture which is then compressed under pressure in a Cold Isostatic Press process. The thus obtained compressed product is sintered in a vacuum atmosphere. The sintered material is held in an atmosphere of nitrogen gas or decomposed ammonia gas so that 0.3 to 1.2 wt% of nitrogen is added to the stainless steel in the sintered material. The thus obtained mold material has a hardness of HMV 250 to 500.
