Patent EP-0795694-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MOCHIZUKI MASANORI
IPC: F16C29/04
Filed: 1997-03-13
Abstract: This invention provides a bearing retainer for
a roller bearing which is used in a guide-post of a die-set.
The bearing retainer has a cylindrical retainer body (51). The
retainer body has a plurality of supporting holes (53) to support
rollers (52). Tongue-like portions (55,57) are formed at the edge portions
of each supporting hole (53) for preventing a roller (52) from falling
out of the supporting hole (53). Cavities (58) are provided between
adjacent supporting holes (53). Each cavity (58) permits the edge
portion including the tongue-like portion (55,57) to deform
elastically in the direction that the aperture of each
supporting hole (53) will be enlarged on the outer side surface
of the retainer body (51).

Abstract: Communication between application programs is facilitated
by a virtual device driver to which the application programs make
function calls. The device driver registers each application in
response to a request for application-to-application communication.
During registration, the device driver determines the addressing mode
of the application being registered. An address mapping operation is
performed and the results of the mapping operation along with other
information about the application are stored in a data store
administered by the kernel of the device driver. The device driver
allows two applications of dissimilar addressing mode to communicate
with one another without  a priori  knowledge of the communicating
partner's addressing mode. The virtual device driver handles
communication transparently for the communicating applications,
allowing the applications to send and receive data.

Abstract: This invention relates to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibiting compounds of the formula: <CHEM> where R<1> is C1-C12 alkyl, straight or branched and optionally substituted by halogen, hydroxy, C1-C6 alkoxy, amino, carboxyl, C1-C6 alkoxycarbonyl, carboxamido, nitrile, mono- or di-(C1-C6)alkylamino, thio, C1-C6 alkylthio, aryl, -Oaryl or -OCH2aryl where aryl is optionally substituted with C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, carboxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, carboxamido, or hydroxy; and C1-C6 alkanesulfonyloxy. R<2> is  alpha -OH or  beta -OH and R<6> is H or R<2> and R<6> together are carbonyl; the chemical intermediates; and processes for the preparation of these compounds and the intermediates thereto. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of zinc-containing calcium dependent proteinases, including stromelysins, collagenases, and gelatinases. These MMP enzymes are capable of degrading the proteinaceous components of connective tissue and appear to be involved in tissue remodeling, i.e., wound healing and connective tissue turnover. Unexpectedly, the mercaptoalcohols with the S-configuration at the hydroxyl-bearing carbon have been found to be at least 4 times more potent than the analogous (R)-alcohols both in vitro and in vivo in inhibiting the MMP enzyme..

Abstract: A swing displacement detector comprises a swing displacement
detector 15 for detecting relative displacement xl between a
trolley 4 and a suspended load 6 in a crane suspending the
suspended load 6 by a rope 5 or the like; a crane upper structure
displacement detector 16 for detecting the displacement of a
crane upper structure 1 supporting the trolley 4 from the
ground surface; and an arithmetic means 17 for receiving as
inputs the measured value xl of suspended load displacement
by the swing displacement detector 15, and the measured value
x2 of crane upper structure displacement by the crane upper
structure displacement detector 16, and for correcting the
measured value xl of suspended load displacement based on the
difference between the measured value xl of suspended load
displacement and the measured value x2 of crane upper structure
displacement. Thus, the vibrational component of the crane
upper structure can be eliminated from the measured value of
swing of the suspended load, whereby the swing component of
the suspended load can be detected highly accurately.

Abstract: Position detectors are disclosed for reliable, high-accuracy
detection of alignment marks (WM) on a wafer (W), including
alignment marks consisting of small phase steps. The
position detector comprises a phase plate (31) located conjugate
to an aperture stop (27). The phase plate produces a phase shift
between the undiffracted light flux from the alignment marks
and the diffracted light flux and a phase-contrast image is
of the alignment marks is formed. The phase plate is
switchable or insertable so that a bright-field image is
also obtainable. Bright-field images and phase-contrast
images are directly viewable or are received by one or more
image sensor (16,17). A signal processor (18) receives image signals
from the image sensors and determines the position of the
alignment marks. The sensor then provides a position signal
that is used to move the wafer and reticle (R) into alignment.

Abstract: A turbine engine (50) including an oil flow path through the low pressure system shaft
(56) which, as compared to at least one known oil flow path, facilitates increasing the rated
torque and life of the low pressure system shaft is described. In one embodiment, the
lubrication opening (78A) in the low pressure shaft is oriented so that with respect to a
plane along which an outer surface of the low pressure shaft substantially extends, the
center axis of the lubrication opening is substantially normal to the plane. As a result of
this configuration, the stress concentration in the low pressure shaft at the location of
the lubrication opening is substantially reduced. In addition, such a lubrication opening
is relatively easy to form as compared to the known, angularly oriented lubrication
shaft. Further, the lubrication opening in the present configuration can have a larger
diameter than the known angularly oriented lubrication opening due to the reduced stress
concentration, and such a larger lubrication opening facilitates more free flow of
lubrication through the opening to the differential bearing.

Abstract: The bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS) as a drug target system catalyses the
uptake and phosphorylation of carbohydrates. It is further involved in signal transduction,
e.g. catabolite repression, chemotaxis, and allosteric regulation of metabolic enzymes and
transporters. It is ubiquitous in bacteria but does not occur in eukaryotes. This uniqueness
and the pleiotropic function make the PTS a target for the development of new
antimicrobials. Assays are described that lead to the discovery of compounds which
uncouple the PTS, by acting as protein histidine/cysteine phosphatases. Uncoupling of
the PTS leads to inhibition of carbohydrate transport, repression of catabolite controlled
genes (e.g. certain virulence genes) and depletion of phosphoenolpyruvate. Compounds
from combinatorial libraries with high affinity for phosphoenolpyruvat-protein-phosphatase
(Enzyme I) serve as lead structures for the development of inhibitors and uncouplers of
the PTS.

Abstract: A communication control apparatus and method for
controlling communication between a plurality of electronic
control units (ECUs 11, 12) provided in a vehicle and a
diagnostic apparatus (20). Each of the ECUs (11, 12)
determines whether it is ready to send a positive response
to the diagnostic apparatus (20) within a predetermined
response time after receiving a request signal from the
diagnostic apparatus (20). A negative response signal is
sent to the diagnostic apparatus (20) by any ECU (11, 12)
that is not ready. The negative response signal indicates
that the sending ECU (11, 12) is not ready and allows the
other ECUs (11, 12) to respond to the diagnostic apparatus
(20). The diagnostic apparatus (20) sends a further request
signal directed specifically to an ECU (11, 12) that sends a
negative response signal.

Abstract: In a contour correction apparatus, a first sample is selected
from among at least five plural samples of an input digital video
signal as an indication of an upper limit value. The plural samples
correspond to neighboring pixels respectively. The first sample has
a value greater than a center value among values of the plural
samples. A second sample is selected from among at least the five
plural samples as an indication of a lower limit value. The second
sample has a value smaller than the center value among the values of
the plural samples. High-frequency signal components are
generated with respect to a center sample among the plural
samples. The high-frequency signal components are added to the
center sample among the plural samples to generate an addition-resultant
signal. A value of the addition-resultant signal is limited to
within a range between the upper limit value and the lower limit
value.
