Abstract: A lead-free solder alloy consisting essentially of, by weight,
3.0% to 3.5% silver, greater than 1% to about 15% copper, the balance tin and
incidental impurities, and having an effective melting range of about 215°C to
about 222°C. The solder alloy is noneutectic, and therefore characterized by
solidus and liquidus temperatures, the former being in a range of about 215°C to
about 218°C, while the latter is about 290°C or more. However, the melting
mechanism exhibited by the alloy is such that the alloy is substantially all
melted and does not exhibit a "mushy zone" above the effective melting range,
enabling the alloy to behave similarly to the SnAgCu eutectic alloy

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer system for calculating
transaction by card(s) of members in the computer system. The computer
system comprises: a judgment means, a calculating means, a database and a
dispenser. The judgment means is used for judging a card transaction of a
member in a contracted store with the computer system or an un-contracted
store. If the transaction is paid by card in the contracted store, according to
a contract between the contracted store and the computer system, the
calculating means deducts a specific proportion amount from the
transaction. The dispenser dispenses the specific proportion amount to the
consumer member and to a plurality of higher-ranking members above the
consumer member at different percentages. Therefore, for the members of
the computer system, because the consumer member can get bonuses from
the card transaction in the contracted store, the members are pleased to buy
and pay something by card in the contracted store. On the other hand, for
the contracted store and the issuer bank, because of an increase in
transactions of members, the business and the profit of the contracted store
and the issuer bank are also increased. Accordingly, the members, the
contracted store and the bank can all receive profit. Furthermore, not only
does the consumer member get bonuses from paying by card, but the
higher-ranking members than the consumer member can also get bonuses.

Abstract: Triploid zygotes arise in ∼5% of  in vitro  fertilisations, but the excess set of haploid chromosomes
means that they cannot develop into human beings, and so such zygotes are not used during
fertility treatment. The invention provides a method for preparing embryonic stem cells,
comprising the steps of: (a) providing a tripronucleated zygote; (b) removing one of the pronuclei
to provide a diploid heteroparental zygote; (c) culturing the diploid zygote to produce a blastocyst;
(d) obtaining one or more cells from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst; and (e) culturing the
cells obtained from the inner cell mass to obtain embryonic stem cells. The stem cells may be
differentiated into cell types of interest.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour résoudre des ambigüités de portée radar, le radar étant modulé avec un code de phase comprenant plusieurs de bribes. Le procédé consiste à: acquérir (674) un écho radar à l'intérieur d'une porte de vérification alignée avec une bribe du code de phase; déterminer une amplitude (676) de l'écho; faire progresser (678) la porte vers une bribe suivante du code; acquérir un écho; et déterminer (680) si l'écho a une amplitude supérieure à un seuil fondé sur l'écho initial. La progression de la porte de vérification est poursuivie de façon répétée pour déterminer s'il est possible de trouver une bribe dont l'amplitude dépasse le seuil, ou jusqu'à ce que les échos émanant de toutes les bribes du code de phase aient été acquises. Si une telle position est trouvée, la logique de recherche du radar est mise en mouvement vers la position de la bribe ayant l'écho d'amplitude le plus élevé ou, dans le cas contraire, vers la position de la bribe initiale; puis l'ensemble du processus est repris.
