Title: Gluing, sealing and coating compound
Inventor: WINDHOEVEL UDO
IPC: C08L25/08
Filed: 1996-06-19
Abstract: A gluing, sealing and coating compound based on a styrene copolymer is characterized in that the styrene copolymer mainly contains styrene and in that it contains an aromatic compound-free polyalkylene oxide and/or its fatty derivative. These non-toxic plastcizers are easily tolerated and increase stickiness, elasticity and stretchability. These compounds are therefore suitable as binders for producing glues, coatings and sealing compounds.

Abstract: A method and a device for reducing interference in the RF transmission of a wanted signal. The signal quality is reduced by an interfering signal on a terrestrial and satellite RF network. Accordingly, the method comprises and the device is used for: receiving the wanted signal in the presence of the interfering signal to provide a wanted signal received in the presence of the interfering signal, receiving the interfering signal generated by delayed duplication of the interfering signal transmitted by the satellite network to provide a received interfering signal similar to the interfering signal accompanying the wanted signal, and subtracting the received interfering signal from the wanted signal in the presence of the interfering signal to provide a received wanted signal that is free of the interfering signal. The method and device are useful for setting up and operating networks, particularly interactive television networks.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a silicon monocrystal using the Czochralski method, a seed crystal is brought into contact with silicon melt and is then pulled such that after a neck portion is formed, a silicon monocrystal is grown below the neck portion. The crystal has a hollow portion which has an opening in the contact surface of the seed crystal to be brought into contact with the silicon melt. Alternatively, the seed crystal has a hollow portion which, upon being brought into contact with the silicon melt, will have an opening in the contact surface of the seed crystal to be brought into contact with the silicon melt. Use of such seed crystals makes it possible to increase the strength of the neck portion and to pull a heavy and long silicon monocrystal having a large diameter.
