Patent EP-0455900-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ST MARTIN EDWARD J
IPC: C09B61/00
Filed: 1990-05-10
Abstract: Crystalline precursor pigment formation is produced directly in a pigment-producing culture medium containing  Monascus  species by adding thereto an effective amount of a crystalline pigment inducer. Both the ease and cost of isolating the water insoluble orange pigment produced as a secondary metabolite by  Monascus  species can be substantially improved by inducing crystalline pigment formation directly in the culture medium. Poly(oxyethylene)sorbitan esters of palmitic acid are especially effective and cause the formation of large crystals. Another class of crystalline pigment inducing agents is that of the liquid vegetable oils, although generally these lead to smaller crystal sizes.

Abstract: Antiserum which can recognise all sub-types of human leukocyte interferon is prepared from the blood of an animal immunised with partially purified human leukocyte interferon obtained from a culture of human leukocyte stimulated with Sendai virus. 
     The antiserum is added to a column whereon concentrated culture broth of human leukocyte has been immobilised to absorb impurities, the effluent is added to a column whereon partially purified human leukocyte interferon has been immobilised to absorb anti-human leukocyte interferon antibody and then the antibody is eluted from the column. 
     The antibody thus obtained recognises all sub-types of human leukocyte interferon and can be separated by a chromatography of each monoclonal antibody which recognises a single sub-type. 
     Employing these antibodies, the sub-types of human leukocyte interferon or their antibodies in a sample can be analysed or assayed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for manufacturing MOS type integrated circuits comprising floating gate memory transistors and logic transistors. Stacks consisting of a layer of polycrystalline silicon (3), an insulating layer (4), another layer of polycrystalline silicon (6) and another insulating layer (11) are produced at the position of the memory zone. The polycrystalline silicon layer (6) is located at the position of the logic transistors. An additional insulating layer is deposited over the whole circuit. It is etched anisotropically and, in the memory zone, flanking zones (21-a) remain from this additional insulating layer. These flanking zones form, with the insulating layer (11), an insulating encapsulation (23) around each stack and spacers (21-b) at the position of the logic transistors.

Abstract: To provide for a compact seat adjustment mechanism, an elongated seat support (21) is secured to a floor support structure including a central post (13), to extend at an upwardly directed angle of inclination. The seat (17), attached to a seat support (29), is pivotally located to pivot about an axis (37) close to the front edge of the seat. The seat is maintained in position by a torsion spring assembly (23), the spring tension of which is adjustable by a laterally positionable adjustment knob (63), and a blocking element in form of a gas spring or hydraulic spring (27) couples the seat to the seat support, the respective blocking element being attached with a first end between the pivot axis support and the floor support and with its other end to the seat (17) such that it will extend in the genral direction of the elongated seat support (21) and form an acute angle with respect to the seat support, which angle will be somewhat greater than the angle of inclination of the seat support (210 itself. The bias of the torsion spring (39) of the torsion spring system can be changed by adjusting the position of a setting arm (45) by a wedge on a rotatable spindle, coupled to the adjustment knob (63). The construction places the mechanism parts close to the seat and permits a generally pleasing, clean appearance, while permitting adjustment of spring tension and blocking by the user, while seated on a chair. Uncoupling the respective blocking element at one end, for example by removal of a bolt, permits tilting the seat back about the tilt axis (37) by approximately 180 DEG , and providing access for service to the chair mechanism.

IPC: H01L39/12
Filed: 1990-07-07
Abstract: An oxide superconductor having the characteristics of two superconductors, i.e. a high critical temperature of RBa₂Cu₃O₇ (wherein R represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of yttrium and lanthanide series elements) and a high-temperature stability of RBa₂Cu₄O₈, which comprises RBa₂Cu₄O₈ wherein 0.1 to 50 atomic % of R is replaced by calcium. It can be produced by various processes, among which the hot isostatic process for sintering the powdery starting materials is particularly effective. Although the Tc can be raised merely by applying this process, a more efficient production becomes possible by preventing the formation of (R 1-x Ca x )Ba₂Cu₄O₇ as an intermediate. The obtained superconductor can be applied in the production of wire material by virtue of the high critical temperature and high-temperature stability thereof.
