Title: Surface reflectrice pour parois de reacteurs de depot chimique en phase vapeur
Inventor: OLSEN AAGE
IPC: C30B25/10
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: L'invention décrit une plaque (100) réflectrice permettant de diffuser une énergie thermique rayonnante dans une chambre de réaction pour le traitement des semiconducteurs, de manière à atteindre une température uniforme le long d'un substrat à traiter. La surface (104) est caractérisée par une pluralité de dépressions contiguës (106) avec une quasi-absence de parties planaires entre les dépressions. Le rapport entre la largeur et la profondeur des dépressions est en moyenne supérieure à 3/1. Les crêtes séparant les dépressions forment un angle dépassant 60°, conférant à la surface réflectrice une texture relativement lisse et permettant ainsi de la nettoyer facilement. Par ailleurs, l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication de la plaque réflectrice consistant à retirer le matériau de la surface métallique planaire par un fraisage par embout sphérique. La profondeur de chaque dépression et le degré d'empiétement sur les dépressions contiguës peuvent varier de façon aléatoire dans des intervalles sélectionnés. Enfin, un fini à forte capacité spéculaire est ensuite appliqué sur la surface granulée par galvanoplastie à l'or.

Abstract: 2,3,2 Tetramine (3,7-diazanonane-1,9-diamine) is propounded for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease and dementias characterized by mitochondrial damage in view of this compound's ability to completely neutralize the dopainine-depriving effect of MPTP in laboratory animals up to 12 hours post MPTP injection, and to retain partial protection at suboptimal tissue levels for up to 36 hours. The effect of injecting combinations of MPTP and/or reducing agents and/or xenobiotics and/or depigmenting agents on Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin and Epinephrine levels demonstrated that MPTP and MPP+ act as reducing agents that mobilize copper and calcium, and sequester iron, and that the vulnerability of dopamine to these types of neurotoxins and to xenobiotics and metals can be corrected by administration of 2,3,2 tetramine that appears to redistribute metals between diverse storage pools and free metals in cytosol and regulate receptor mediated events, among other antidotal effects analogous to those of some of the endogenous polyamines.

Abstract: A thin-walled laminated synthetic resin body for a liquid container
according to the invention comprises first and second thin-walled synthetic
resin layers (10, 20), each having a curved surface portion (11, 21) and a
projection (12, 22) extending outwardly from a predetermined region at an
edge of the curved surface portion (11, 21). The first and second layers (10,
20) are laminated to each other with the curved surface portions (11, 21)
bulging out in the same direction, are integrated with each other at the edges
(13, 23) of the curved surface portions (11, 21) and projections (12, 22), and
are separable from each other at regions exclusive of the edges (13, 23).
When a liquid is charged, the curved surface portion (21) of one of the first
and second layers (20) is separated from the curved surface portion (11) of the
other layer (10) and reversed. By this, the curved surface portions bulge out
in the opposite directions to define an inner space between the curved surface
portions (11, 21) for containing a liquid. The laminated body has a high
freedom degree of design of the container shape, can be readily formed into
desired three-dimensional shape depending upon various applications, and can
be manufactured simply and at low cost with conventional production system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radio receiver comprising a circuit for verifying reception quality at an alternative frequency to a received transmission frequency, two tuners (6,7) for converting received signals into two different intermediate frequencies and a switch (10) which can preferably be actuated by a microprocessor (11) for optional transmission of signals from signal processing branches (2,3) respectively connected to one of the tuners (6,7). In order to reduce the technical complexity required to produce the second receiver with a barely noticeable impairment of the set program during verification of the reception quality at the alternative frequency, the switch (12) is arranged in front of an analog-digital converter of an intermediate frequency stage (12) which is actuated with a sampling frequency (fa). The different intermediate frequencies are chosen in such a way that they correspond to the following equation: f0 = (n+R) fa, whereby n is a natural integer and 0</=R</=1. An intermediate frequency filter, a demodulator, optionally a decoder for additional signals, and a verification device for determining signal quality are connected to the analog-digital converter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for purifying follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) from biological samples, for example, from human pituitary glands or
human postmenopausal urine, wherein the FSH is contaminated with other proteins,
by use of dye-ligand affinity chromatography (DAC). Depending on the starting
material used and the initial purity of FSH in the starting material, additional
purification steps may be employed. These steps preferably involve the use of
hydrophobic interaction chromatography. This process may be used to generate
affinity pure FSH suitable for therapeutic applications. The methods of the invention
provide high purity FSH with high overall yield. A further advantage is the ability to
easily regenerate the chromatography media for re-use, thus providing added economy
to the purification process.
