Patent EP-0204814-B1 (EP)
IPC: H01L31/05
Filed: 1985-11-08
Granted: 1990-08-16
Abstract: A method for electrically interconnecting a plurality of solar cells (20) in series using a multi-faced drum (10), a first bus spool (100) having an associated first bus strip (105), and a second bus spool (200) having an associated second bus strip (205), wherein the method involves placing a solar cell on the then-current top face of the drum so that its top electrode underlies the first bus strip and its bottom electrode overlies the second bus strip, indexing the drum forward one face as the first bus spool is lowered and the second bus spool is raised, placing a new solar cell on the then-current top face of the drum so that its top electrode underlies the second bus strip and its bottom electrode overlies the first bus strip, indexing the drum forward another face as the first bus spool is raised and the second bus spool is lowered, and continuing the foregoing process as desired to interweave the first and second bus strips between additional solar cells. After the first and second bus strips are attached to the electrodes of the several solar cells, they are alternately severed between adjacent solar cells so as to complete the electrical interconnection of the cells in series.

Abstract: A denture-retaining unit comprises a ball and socket structure, the socket being adapted for incorporation into a denture. The ball is a sphere having a truncated portion providing a flat base adapted for magnetic engagement with a flat face of a magnetizable keeper, which keeper is adapted to be secured to a support member extending from the jaw. A characterizing feature of the unit is that it permits lateral movement between the denture in which the socket is embedded and the keeper, while the flat faces of the keeper and the sphere remain fully magnetically engaged.

Granted: 1992-10-21
Abstract: An ultrasonic motor in which elastic progressive waves are excited in a vibration member (4) which consists of a piezo-electric substance (1) and an elastic substance (2) and in which a rotary member placed on the vibration member (4) in contact therewith under the application of a pressure is driven by the frictional force. The vibration member (4) has a disc-like shape, and electrode groups (9, 10) provided for the piezo-electric substance (1) are arranged concentrically maintaining phases that are different in the circumferential direction in which the vibration proceeds. The electrode groups (9, 10) excite the vibration member (4) in a quadratic or higher flexural vibration mode in the radial direction and in a cubic or higher flexural vibration mode in the circumferential direction so as to produce an equal mechanical impedance as viewed from the electrode groups (9, 10). Standing waves of flexural vibrations excited by the electrode groups (9, 10) are superposed, so that the flexural vibration proceeds in the circumferential direction to drive the motor.

Abstract: A method for continuous preparation of highly pure monoglyceride comprises the steps of esterifying fatty acid dissolved in a nonpolar solvent at the interface between the nonpolar solvent phase and a polar solvent phase containing glycerol, water and dispersed lipase, the polar phase being located below the nonpolar phase, continuously taking out the nonpolar solvent phase, cooling the taken out phase to isolate the resulting monoglyceride by precipitation, and bringing back the remaining solution to the esterification system. By this method, monoglycerides having high purity can be produced continuously and at low cost, and further monoglycerides of straight-chained fatty acids can preferentially obtained even though the fatty acids used contain branched fatty acids.

Abstract: A mini-proinsulin in which the A and B chains are linked by the amino acid Arg in place of the C chain has insulin activity and is suitable for producing medicaments for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It can also be converted straightforwardly with trypsin into an insulin derivative whose B chain is extended by Arg. The latter can be converted with carboxypeptidase B into insulin. However, it is also possible and advantageous to convert the mini-proinsulin directly into insulin in a one-pot process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof ventilator (1) having a base frame (3) which surrounds an upwardly directed shaft (2) and which can be secured to the roof of a building, bounding a roof opening. The roof ventilator has an outer housing (4) which can be supported on the base frame (3) and which bounds an upper outlet (5) for spent air situated with spacing above the upper edge of the shaft (2) and substantially coinciding with the shaft opening. In addition, the roof ventilator is provided with a covering device (6) which is disposed inside the outer housing (4) and which comprises flaps (9) or the like closing members (8) which are pivotally supported in a supporting frame (7) and which can be moved out of a closed position into an open position by means of a drive (13), while, in the open position of the flaps (9), the covering device (6) bounds, with its supporting frame (7), a passage (10) for spent air flowing upwards out of the shaft. In addition, a closable lateral outlet (12) for spent air is provided which can be shielded at the top, at least in places, for roof ventilation protected from atmospheric influences. In order to have a reduced structural height of the ventilator with the possibility of ventilation protected from atmospheric influences, the covering device has a closing unit (16) which can be moved as a whole and which can be transferred into an elevated travel position to free the lateral spent-air outlet (12) and, in its lower end-of-travel position, with the flaps in their closed position, shuts off the shaft opening.
