Abstract: The method of manufacturing a long-life heat-resisting
low alloy steel welded component, with which
creep damages do not easily occur in the heat affected
zone. The manufacturing method includes the steps
of subjecting a base metal containing, at % by weight,

Cr: 1.9 to 2.6%, Mo: 0.87 to 1.20%, and a balance of
iron and unavoidable impurities, to a hot working (S3),
to a heat treatment (S5), and then to a welding (S8).
In this method the base metal is normalized (S2) once
or more times before the welding (S8) in addition to
the hot working (S3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for converting an input stream of data characters into
an output stream, said input stream including adjacent data characters forming a run of the same
data character, comprising: detecting when a run does not exists in said input stream by detecting
when a predetermined number of adjacent data characters are not the same, outputting
representations of data characters that are not part of a run, detecting when a run exists in said
input stream by detecting when a predetermined number of adjacent data characters are the same,
determining a number representative of the number of data characters in said detected run,
mathematically determining, by a mathematical algorithm using said representative number, a
sequence of numerically increasing numerical codes corresponding to data character segments in
said run, the codes of said sequence corresponding to respective contiguous segments of said
detected run, a segment having one data character less than the next following adjacent segment
of said detected run, and for each detected run, outputting the codes corresponding to said
contiguous segments thereof, said output stream comprising the outputted representations of the

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un chargeur d'échantillonneur automatique. Cet appareil comporte une platine de base annulaire traversée de plusieurs trous correspondant aux emplacements des alvéoles d'échantillons de l'échantillonneur automatique. Une platine supérieure annulaire, solidarisée à la platine de base, comporte des trous traversants constituant des alvéoles de stockage pour les échantillons de l'échantillonneur automatique. Une platine rotative monobloc à un seul trou est montée entre la platine de base et la platine supérieure. En fonctionnement normal, pour charger les échantillons dans l'appareil, on les place dans les trous de la platine supérieure. Les échantillons se chargent alors les uns après les autres dans l'échantillonneur automatique lorsque l'utilisateur fait tourner la platine rotative, ce qui fait tomber les échantillons de la platine supérieure, au travers de la platine rotative et de la platine de base dans l'échantillonneur automatique. Un couvercle prévu pour la platine supérieure permet de stocker indéfiniment les échantillons dans l'appareil.

Abstract: Disclosed is a photodiode comprising a semiconductor substrate (12) that is provided with a photosensitive area (18, 24) which encompasses a space charge region (18) generating a portion of a diffusion current and a diffusion region (24) generating another portion of a diffusion current, and an insulating device (20) which at least partly delimits the diffusion region relative to an adjacent surrounding area of the semiconductor substrate. In order to lower the reduction in the photodiode bandwidth caused by the diffusion current blurring the response of the photodiode, the semiconductor substrate is provided with an insulating device which delimits the diffusion region relative to the surrounding semiconductor substrate, thereby reducing the number of charge carriers that contribute to the diffusion rate because the diffusion region in which the diffusing charge carriers are produced is reduced and because the diffusing charge carriers produced in the reduced diffusion region are sucked up by the insulating device such that said diffusing charge carriers do not contribute to the photocurrent.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à une composition et à des méthodes permettant de traiter une infection bactérienne au moyen de bactériophages thérapeutiques possédant un gène holine modifié. La holine modifiée inactive l'hôte bactérien avant que des bactériophages en soient produits, de façon que l'infection par bactériophages soit non productive, autrement dit que peu ou pas de bactériophages soient produits à la suite de l'infection de l'hôte bactérien. Ainsi, les bactériophages à holine modifiée envahissent l'hôte bactérien, et provoquent l'inactivation de ce dernier avant de produire un nombre détectable ou important de phages. Les phages à holine modifiée inhibent la propagation de l'infection bactérienne sans produire une descendance importante ou détectable. En empêchant l'émission de ladite descendance de phages, on réduit les risques de génération d'une réponse immunitaire dirigée contre les phages.

Abstract: An automatic task generation mechanism provides generation of tasks such as
maintenance tasks for a computer system. A set of tasks is set up along with rules for performing
the tasks. The rules may be associated with metadata that allow the tasks to be mapped to the
tasks. Events may be detected that are related to database operations such as a create, modify,
delete or add command. Upon event detection by the system, the system may store the event and
associated metadata. Another process may query the event and metadata storage and compare
those items to the rules previously set up. If there is a match between the rules and the event, one
or more tasks may be established which correspond to an action that is desired to be taken. The
task may then be inserted into a computer system for subsequent execution.

Abstract: A control for controlling an intake air into an engine is provided. A
control valve 14 for adjusting an amount of the intake air into the engine is
provided. A desired opening degree of a control valve provided in an
intake air passage into the engine is determined based on a clogging
coefficient. The clogging coefficient indicates a degree of clogging of the
intake air passage. An opening degree of the control valve is controlled to
converge to the desired opening degree. The clogging coefficient is
updated based on a feedback correction amount for feedback controlling a
rotational speed of the engine during idling operation. If a leakage in a
blow-by gas passage that is connected between the engine and the intake
air passage is detected, the update of the clogging coefficient is prohibited.

Abstract: A method and system for calibrating a spatial light modulator, such
as a GLV in a printing system detects intensity levels of light
provided by elements of the spatial light modulator. It determines
control levels for the elements of the spatial light modulator that
will compensate for spatial variation in the intensity of light
across the spatial light modulator. These changes in intensity can
be a result of the changes in properties of the GLV across its
length. It can also be the result of changes in the intensity of
light provided by the LIM across the spatial light modulator. The
compensation comprehends the pulse width changes of the elements of
the spatial light modulator, due to changes in the control levels
due to the spatial variation compensation. This second level of
compensation ensures that changes to the spot size that may result
from conventional compensation are comprehended in generating a
total compensation scheme that accounts for the dynamics in the
operation of the spatial light modulator. Specifically, in one
implementation, control levels for the elements of the spatial light
modulator are selected to under compensate for the spatial
variations to account for changes in the control levels due to the
spatial variation compensation.
