Abstract: For the continuous maturation of beer by further reaction of the wort treated in the primary fermentation step with yeast on a support, open-pore sinter glass having a porosity of 40-65% and pore sizes of 60-300  mu m is used as support for the yeast and the reaction is carried out at elevated pressure, in particular at 2-6 bar. In the fluidised bed reactor, sintered glass supports, in particular sintered glass beads of particle size </= 5 mm (in particular 1-2 mm) and superficial velocities of 20-120 m/h are employed. In the packed bed, Raschig rings of 8-25 mm  DIAMETER , in particular, serve as support. The preferred reaction temperatures are 2-15 DEG C and the preferred residence times are 1-15 h, the diacetyl content serving in particular as a control parameter, which should remain </= 0.1 mg/l. In the start-up phase, in particular, yeast concentrate inoculum is allowed to grow at 20-35 DEG C and residence times below the generation time of the yeast over a period of a few days on the porous glass support. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A polycrystalline silicon film (65) which is to be a channel is in trench (53) provided in a main surface (52) of a silicon substrate (51). A gate insulating film (63) is on the periphery of a polycrystalline silicon film (65). A gate electrode (61) is on the periphery of gate insulating film (63). A silicon oxide film (59) is on the periphery of gate electrode (61). A source/drain film (57) is on the periphery of silicon oxide film (59). A silicon oxide film (53) is on the periphery of source/drain film (57). A source/drain film (67) is electrically connected to polycrystalline silicon film (65). Source/drain film (57) is electrically connected to polycrystalline silicon film (65). Since polycrystalline silicon film (65) extends along the depth direction of trench (53), a channel length can be sufficient to prevent a short channel effect. Also, compared to the case in which an epitaxial layer is used as a channel, since polycrystalline silicon film (65) is used as a channel, a time required for manufacturing the device can be shortened.

Abstract: An vehicle position and azimuth computing apparatus is constructed to correct both of a positional error and an azimuth error caused by the accumulation of a sensor error and a map error and to provide both high positional precision and high azimuth precision. To this end, the vehicle position and azimuth computing apparatus operates to detect both an angular velocity and a moving distance of a vehicle, to compute an on-vehicle position and on-vehicle azimuth, and to detet a straight running condition of the vehicle. Then, after the GPS measurement positions during the straight running of the vehicle have been obtained, regression lines are obtained by regressing the longitudes and latitudes of the measurement positions during the straight running of the vehicle to the moving distance from the straight running starting position of the vehicle. Both of a vehicle position and a vehicle azimuth are computed based on the regression lines during the straight running of the vehicle, and then an on-vehicle position and an on-vehicle azimuth, which have been computed based on the detected values of the angular velocity and the moving distance of the vehicle, are modified by using the vehicle position and azimuth obtained based on the GPS measurement data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring submicron linewidths, using diffraction gratings. A set of "fixed-linewidth variable-pitchwidth" test gratings has a number of gratings, each grating having the same linewidth but having different pitchwidths. These gratings are illuminated to form diffraction patterns. A set of peak intensities of the first or second order diffraction image from each grating is recorded. Either of these intensity values forms a curve around an extrema, which represents the intensity from a grating whose pitchwidth is equal to one-half the linewidth.

Abstract: When observing a magnetization image on a magnetic thin film by means of a scanning transmission electron microscope, the effect of a stray magnetic field is made smaller than that of a magnetization in order to produce a clear magnetic structure of the magnetization image. In order to reduce the effect of the stray magnetic field in comparison to that of the magnetization, the invention provides a scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with a specimen-holder driving means which can rotate the surface of a specimen 5 preferably by more than 90 degrees with an axis parallel to the optical path of an electron beam 1 taken as a center and incline the surface of the specimen 5 around a center axis 22 perpendicular to an axis 24 rotated earlier over the surface of the specimen 5 with respect to a magnetic-recording track direction and also perpendicular to the axis parallel to the optical path of the electron beam 1. The invention also provides a magnetic-recording image observing method and an image processing method.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for containing blood flashback during insertion of a guide wire into a blood vessel (A). The apparatus includes a barrel (22) having a flashback chamber (30). An inner cannula (42) in the flashback chamber (30) communicates with an inserter needle (12) mounted on the barrel. The inner cannula (42) includes an aperture communicating with the flashback chamber (30). A porous vent plug (70) is slidably disposed in the chamber (30) in fluid-tight engagement with both the barrel (22) and the inner cannula (42). The vent plug (70) can be slid from a proximal position where the aperture in the inner cannula (42) is exposed to a distal position where the aperture in the inner cannula (42) is blocked. A guide wire (64) in the inner cannula (42) blocks blood flow. The vent plug (70) and the guide wire (64) are retained proximally of the aperture in the inner cannula (42) until blood flashback is observed. The vent plug (70) is then axially advanced to cover the aperture and stop further blood flow. The guide wire (64) can then be advanced safely into the blood vessel (A).

In order cyclically to create a space in the main screw, the logic unit makes provision to slow down and then reaccelerate the motor of the auxiliary screw in such a manner that this screw is dephased by a complete revolution every two revolutions of the main screw and then resumes, at the end of the two revolutions, the speed and the phase of the main screw. Also described is the use of such a double-screw device (500), with synchro-tie, for controlling the flow of bottles leaving a working carousel, to bring about the rejection of any bottles which are not correctly filled or with other defects.

Abstract: A print head (216) positioner (260) includes a stepper motor (264) that is coupled by a substantially friction- and backlash-free taut metal band (266) to a lever arm (268) that imparts precise lateral motion to a positioning shaft (220) that is rigidly attached to the print head assembly. Each step of the stepper motor is translated by the lever arm into one pixel (0.085 millimeter) of lateral movement of the shaft. The exact amount of translation per step of the stepper motor is adjustable by an eccentrically mounted ball (272) that is minutely positionable (274) on the lever arm. The ball couples angular motion of the lever arm to lateral motion of the shaft such that adjusting the ball position on the lever arm provides a variable scale factor adjustment that compensates for tolerance buildups and exact inter-nozzle spacing on the print head. The shaft is biased toward the ball by a spring (284). The shaft further allows the print head to swing away from a print media support, such as a drum (202), for maintenance.
