Abstract: There is disclosed a medical tube for insertion into the body of a patient. The medical tube includes a tube or device suitable for insertion into the patient's body, and a permanent magnet associated therewith. The magnet may be solid or non-solid, and may be rigid or non-rigid. In one embodiment, the magnet is hollow and associated with the medical tube such that the tube may be used for its intended purposes. In another embodiment, the magnet is solid and, after insertion into the body of the patient, is displaced such that it does not interfere with the intended use of the medical tube. In a further embodiment, the magnet is removable after placement of the medical tube. <IMAGE>

Inventor: PLOG CARSTEN DR RER NAT
IPC: F02M1/16
Filed: 1998-02-19
Abstract: The method is for separation of the low-boiling fuel portion on board a motor vehicle. A gas feed pump is used to pump out a fuel tank and generate a underpressure, so that the components of the fuel fraction to be separated are evaporated. This is followed by condensation of the fraction component on the pressure side of the pump. The underpressure is lower than 1 bar, and the pressure on the pressure side during condensation is higher than 1 bar. The pump is a diaphragm pump, and the fuel is for a diesel- or kerosine-powered engine. The fractioned components are used directly in the engine combustion, or are stored in a reservoir chamber.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a
semiconductor device, a copper wiring film is
formed in an interlayer insulating film by a
damascene method. A protective insulating film is
formed on the copper wiring film and the
interlayer insulating film. Then, an opening is
formed in the protective insulating film.
Subsequently, an Al containing film is deposited
on the protective insulating film to fill the
opening. In this case, the Al containing film may
be patterned. Instead, a CMP (chemical mechanical
polishing) method may be performed to the Al
containing film to embed the Al containing film
in the opening.

Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) magnetoresistive read head (25) for a magnetic
recording system has the MTJ sensing or free ferromagnetic layer (132) also functioning as
a flux guide to direct magnetic flux from the magnetic recording medium (16) to the tunnel
junction. The MTJ fixed ferromagnetic layer (118) and the MTJ tunnel barrier layer (120)
have their front edges substantially coplanar with the sensing surface (200) of the head
(25). Both the fixed and free ferromagnetic layers (118, 132) are in contact with opposite
surfaces of the MTJ tunnel barrier layer (120) but the free ferromagnetic layer extends
beyond the back edge (212, 208) of either the tunnel barrier layer or the fixed
ferromagnetic layer, whichever back edge is closer to the sensing surface (200). This
assures that the magnetic flux is non-zero in the tunnel junction region. The magnetization
direction (119) of the fixed ferromagnetic layer (118) is fixed in a direction generally
perpendicular to the sensing surface and thus to the magnetic recording medium (16),
preferably by interfacial exchange coupling with an antiferromagnetic layer (116). The
magnetization direction (133) of the free ferromagnetic layer (132) is aligned in a direction
generally parallel to the surface of the medium (16) in the absence of an applied magnetic
field and is free to rotate in the presence of applied magnetic fields from the medium. A
layer of high coercivity hard magnetic material adjacent the sides of the free Ferromagnetic
layer (132) longitudinally biases the magnetization of the free ferromagnetic layer in the
preferred direction.

Abstract: A mechanical seal (32) for rotary rock bits has a uniquely formed hydrodynamic
wave geometry on the sealing faces. The faces are first manufactured flat and smooth,
then upon assembly are elastically deformed into a hydrodynamic geometry by the
energizing system (46, 48). One or both of the mechanical sealing faces are lapped flat
to less than about six helium light bands and polished to a minimum of about 5
micro-inch RA surface finish across the entire width of the sealing faces. After the
smooth flat sealing surface is formed, the mechanical seal face elastically deforms into
a hydrodynamic wave geometry. The typical deformation has a magnitude greater than
about three helium light bands more than the original surface. The deformed surface
maintains its finish of less than about five micro-inches RA. The region (70) of the
sealing surface at the outer periphery of the seal does not have a wave geometry. Rather
the portion of the seal face at the periphery is flat and parallel to its mating seal ring to
exclude abrasives and eliminate lubricant leakage.

Abstract: A contact exposure device and process in which there is no danger of damage to the
mask, and in which the workpiece is not damaged is achieved by a back up ring or the like
being provided between a mask carrier and a workpiece carrier. The workpiece carrier and
the mask carrier are moved apart from one another by a stipulated distance. The mask and
the workpiece are attached by vacuum suction or the like on the mask carrier and the workpiece
carrier, respectively. A negative pressure is produced in the space between the mask
and the workpiece. Since the workpiece carrier and the mask carrier are moved apart from
one another by a stipulated distance, the mask does bend when the pressure is reduced, but
the mask and the workpiece do not come into contact. In this state, air is supplied from a
compressor to openings in the workpiece carrier, causing the workpiece to be raised and arranged
tightly against the mask, at which point, exposure is performed.

Abstract: A ligand-mediated immunofunctional assay (LIFA) method for detecting the
presence and the concentration of polypeptide hormone binding proteins which
comprises capturing the binding protein with a solid phase bound first antibody,
saturating the bound hormone binding protein with the ligand polypeptide hormone,
and detecting the bound ligand polypeptide hormone with a detectably labeled second
antibody specific for the ligand polypeptide hormone. In the absence of added
saturating polypeptide hormone, the LIFA measures the amount of hormone binding
protein bound to the endogenous ligand polypeptide hormone. A growth hormone
binding protein assay illustrates the method of the present invention. LIFA assay
results indicate that increased binding protein substantially increases growth
hormone activity. Methods of use and formulations of growth hormone binding
protein, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth
