Title: Renibacterium Salmoninarum vaccine and method for its preparation
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN JOHN M
IPC: A61K39/05
Filed: 1995-10-12
Abstract: A vaccine and method for treating fish susceptible infection by Renibacterium salmoninarum is described. The vaccine comprises killed microorganisms that lack intact cell-surface-associated protein p57. The vaccine can be used in combination with additional materials, such as, without limitation, adjuvants, plasticizers, pharmaceutical excipients, antigens other than the cells lacking intact cell-surface-associated protein p57, diluents, carriers, binders, lubricants, glidants, aesthetic compounds, such as flavoring and colouring agents, and combinations thereof. The vaccine may be enteric-coated for oral delivery. The enteric coating generally comprises a polymer coating that is impervious to dissolution and/or degradatation in the stomach, but is dissolved upon passing to the higher pH environments of the intestine. A preferred embodiment of the vaccine is made using spherical sugar microspheres. The microsphere is coated with a first layer comprising the killed Renibacterium salmoninarum microorganisms lacking intact cell-surface-associated protein p57. The sugar microsphere is then coated with a second enteric-coating layer comprising a material that is impervious to dissolution and/or degradation in the stomach of the fish.

Title: Hydropneumatic suspension strut
Inventor: BECK HUBERT
IPC: B60G17/044
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: A self-pumping hydropneumatic suspension strut with internal levelling for motor vehicles, has a working cylinder (1) containing damping medium and pressurised by at least one gas volume (6a) acting as a spring. The cylinder (1) is divided by a valved working piston (18) carried on a hollow piston rod (2) into an upper working chamber (3) connected to a high pressure chamber (6) in which the gas volume is provided, and a lower working chamber (4) connected to a low pressure chamber (5). A piston pump comprises a pump space (7) formed in the hollow piston rod (2) and a pump rod (8) connected to the cylinder (1). The piston pump is driven by suspension movements to pump medium from the low pressure chamber (5) into the working chamber (3) connected to the high pressure chamber (6). The damping medium in the pump space (7) is pressurised for example by a driving element (9), to enable the length of the strut to be altered in response to loading of the vehicle when stationary, without needing an external fluid supply.

Title: Process and apparatus for the manufacture of film-coated moulded pieces
Inventor: BERDAN KARL
IPC: B29C65/02
Filed: 1997-06-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the reworking of molded pieces 2 made of thermoplastic material, which are coated over part of their surface with a film 6 and which have a margin 8 of the film 6 extending beyond the molded piece 2. Because cutting of the edge margin along the parting line can cause it to become detached or loosened, it is proposed according to the invention to laminate at least a portion of the film 6 margin against an as yet surface portion 12 of the molded piece. This is carried out in a reworking apparatus in which the film margin is folded by guide rolls, then if necessary is cut to a predetermined width in a cutting apparatus 30 then is pressed by pressure rolls 38 against the surface region 12 then together with the latter is warmed in a laminating apparatus 40, in order to weld the film margin to the surface region, whereupon the warmed region of the molded piece is again cooled in a cooling apparatus.

Title: Semiconductor wafer polishing machine
Inventor: INABA TAKAO
IPC: B24B37/30
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: A wafer mount plate 54 is mounted in a housing 46 so as to be swingably, vertically and horizontally movable. An air pressure chamber 22, with elastic membrane 64, is formed between the wafer mount plate and the housing. Using a pressure controller 70 to control the internal pressure of the air chamber it is possible to control the polishing pressure between the wafer mount plate and the polishing pad 16. Since the entire top side of the wafer mount plate can be uniformly pressurised, the uniform polishing pressure can be applied to the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer. Further, the wafer mount plate inclines in accordance with variations in the inclination of the polishing pad so that the semiconductor wafer and the polishing pad may be maintained in a parallel position. A vertical feed device 20 vertically moves the semiconductor wafer 12 to assist in controlling the polishing pressure.

Title: Treating aluminum substrates
Inventor: BELLINO MARK THOMAS
IPC: C25D11/18
Filed: 1999-09-08
Abstract: Methods of forming a conductive aluminum substrate comprise anodizing a surface of an aluminum substrate to form a porous alumina surface layer, contacting the alumina surface layer with a liquid dispersion or solution of a polymer or at least one polymer-forming component, under conditions sufficient for the polymer to seal pores of the alumina surface layer, and removing excess polymer from the alumina surface layer. The polymer may be a phenoxy resin, an epoxy resin, a polyalkylene oxide or a pectin-based polymer, and the polymer-forming component may be N-[3-triethoxysilylpropyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazole. The resulting sealed conductive aluminum substrate is useful in photoconductors, for example comprising a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer.

Title: Transmission control with selector lever position for hill ascent and/or descent
Inventor: TOLLEY BRIAN ERNEST
IPC: F16H59/10
Filed: 1999-10-20
Abstract: A selector lever 26 is restricted to longitudinal movement, by a transmission selector gate 45, for selecting park P, drive D, neutral N, fifth and three intermediate ratios while being able to move transversely from position 2 to position 1 for selecting 1<SP>st</SP> gear hold. The 1<SP>st</SP> gear hold position 1 signals, eg via a microswitch (55, fig 4), an electronic controller (25, fig 1) to automatically select hill ascent/descent control so that there is maximum engine braking and an even distribution of retarding torque between road wheels. For off-road use position 1 is engaged against an action of a spring loaded detent ball (38, fig 3) so that a certain degree of manual effort is required. During normal driving the detent ball (38) is engaged in a first detent groove so that a driver would only select park P, drive D etc. In another embodiment hill ascent/descent control is selected manually by a separate control switch (61, fig 5).

Patent JP-S61170127-A (JP)
Title: Logical circuit
Inventor: SONODA MOTOI
IPC: H03K19/088
Filed: 1985-01-23
Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the transition time of an output potential from a low potential to high potential from being increased by providing a circuit lowering a base potential of a transistor (TR) when a potential at a common terminal is decreased to a negative potential in a high drive capability output buffer circuit provided with a phase split TR between the base and the common terminal of the TR. CONSTITUTION:A base potential control circuit 10 is provided between an input terminal 1 and the common terminal 5. The base potential control circuit 10 has a TRQ5 provided with a Schottky clamp diode and other TRQ6. Then the emitter of the TRQ6 and the base of the TRQ6 are connected and the collector of the TRQ5 and the collector of the TRQ6 are connected to constitute a Darlington connection circuit. When the common terminal 6 is at a negative potential (<=-0.4V) momentarily on the way of the input signal potential at the input terminal 1 inverted from a low potential L to a high potential H, the potential difference between the terminal 2 and the common terminal 5 is increased to decrease the potential at the input terminal 1. Thus, the TRQ1, Q2 are not turned on and then the transition time is not increased.
