Abstract: A robotic arm comprises a plurality of interconnected segments which are flexible relative to each other to permit the arm to be bent. A connection part is provided at each end of the arm for electrical connection with a selected docking station. The robotic arm can be moved between a first and a second docking station by bending the arm such that the second end of the arm is connecting to the second docking station and then disconnecting the first end of the arm from the first docking station. In this way the robotic arm can be moved around a network of docking stations.

Abstract: The bipolar transistor comprises a collector region (1) of a semiconductor material with a first doping type, an emitter region (2) with a first doping type, and a base region (3) of a semiconductor material with a second doping type, opposite to the first doping type, which base region is arranged between the emitter region (2) and the collector region (1), and a semiconductor area (4) extending between the collector region (1) and the base region (3). The collector region (1) is doped such that the semiconductor area (4) is fully depleted and the magnitude of the intrinsic electric field in the semiconductor area (4) is at least substantially independent of the applied doping types and the doping concentration in the semiconductor area (4). The method of manufacturing the bipolar transistor comprises the step of epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer (6) over a collector region (1) and doping the epitaxial layer (6) in situ, after which the base region (3) is deposited epitaxially. The comparatively thin semiconductor area (4) between the base region (3) and the collector region (1) allows ultrafast bipolar transistors with a high cutoff frequency and an improved breakdown voltage to be manufactured. The product of the cutoff frequency and the collector-emitter breakdown voltage of these bipolar transistors exceeds the Johnson limit.

Abstract: A vaporizer ( 14 ) supplies hydrogen peroxide and water vapor to a high level disinfection or sterilization region ( 20 ). Mid-infrared light detectors ( 32 ) detect light in the mid-infrared range which has traversed a region of the treatment chamber in a first narrow spectrum centered at 8,000 nanometers which is absorbed by the hydrogen peroxide vapor, a second narrow spectrum which is absorbed by the water vapor, and a third spectrum that is absorbed by neither the hydrogen peroxide vapor nor the water vapor. From these measurements, an absorbance or transmittance is determined ( 40 ) from which the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and water vapor are determined ( 42 ). Monitored temperature ( 44 ) and the determined concentrations are converted into a percent saturation ( 54 ). The supply of hydrogen peroxide and water vapor to the chamber is controlled ( 60 ) in accordance with the determined percent saturation.

Abstract: A tray table assembly is provided that includes a tray table and an arm connected to the tray table which extends from the rear portion of a seatback. The tray table is pivotable with respect to the support arm so that the same surface of the tray that faces upwardly during use that may become soiled also faces outwardly when the tray table is stowed in the seatback. A seat assembly is also provided that includes a passenger seat having a seatback defining a recess for permitting the tray table assembly to be stowed in the seatback. The seatback recess is shaped and positioned in such a way that a major surface of the tray table can only be positioned outwardly when stowed in the seatback recess, thus preventing the seat from facing the seat in the stowed position.

Abstract: A coaxial implant has been developed using entirely biodegradable polymeric materials. As referred to herein, a coaxial implant is a device having a core containing drug, surrounded by a semi-permeable membrane that controls the rate of release from the core. The device is formed by extrusion, using a pre-milling and extruding step to maximize uniformity of drug dispersion within the polymeric material. In one embodiment, the polymer is processed to yield a semi-crystalline polymer, rather than an amorphous polymer. The core containing the drug and the polymer membrane(s) can be the same or different polymer. The polymer can be the same or different composition (i.e., both polycaprolactone, or both poly(lactide-co-glycolide) of different monomer ratios, or polycaprolactone outside of a core of poly(lactide)), of the same or different molecular weights, and of the same or different chemical structure (i.e., crystalline, semi-crystalline or amorphous). The core acts as a reservoir of drug, which partitions from the core polymer to form a saturated solution of at least 10% drug at the polymer membrane.

Abstract: La fusion de fines poussières de filtres dans des fours à creuset et à induction classiques génère de nouveaux empoussiérages d'un niveau trop élevé. Une compression des poussières est par ailleurs très complexe et désormais impossible. Selon la présente invention, les poussières de filtres sont recueillies dans un espace de tête étanche aux poussières situé en amont de l'ouverture d'apport d'un groupe de fusion relié thermiquement à une chambre de combustion. Les particules de poussière situées dans cet espace de tête tombent sous l'effet de la gravité à l'intérieur dudit groupe de fusion, où ces particules sont fondues. On peut renforcer ce phénomène en produisant une différence de pression supplémentaire le long du groupe de fusion. Une décharge des poussières est ainsi largement évitée. Le présent procédé convient également à la vitrification de poussières particulièrement contaminées.

Abstract: Method for restricting leakage of hydraulic oil in a rock drilling rig (I). The oil level in the tank (3) is read and stored in a memory each time one switches between drilling and positioning of different components on the drill rig (I). After that the oil level is read at even intervals between the changes of operational mode. The last five read values are used for calculation of a level change velocity of the level in tank (3). The supply of hydraulic oil from pump (2) to drill rig (I) is stopped if the level in the tank has dropped a predetermined value, separately adjustable for each operational mode, or if the level change velocity exceeds a predetermined value, separately adjustable for each operational mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for developing a nickel-base super alloy, consisting of a  gamma  phase and a  gamma ' phase, for the production of monocrystalline or specifically solidified substance bodies. The invention is characterized in that the properties of nickel-base super alloys, exhibiting a volume proportion of at least 50 %, are optimized after degradation at room temperature, by selecting the composition of the alloy in such a way that a high as possible positive lattice dislocation (delta) is obtained at room temperature between the  gamma  phase and the  gamma '  phase. As a result the apparent limit of elasticity at room temperature after degradation is relatively high and only a small difference of apparent limits of elasticity occurs between the initial state and a degraded state.

Abstract: Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) coefficients are determined from a channel
estimate by casting the DFE coefficient problem as a standard recursive least squares (RLS)
problem and solving the RLS problem. In one embodiment, a fast recursive method, e.g., fast
transversal filter (FTF) technique, is used to compute the Kalman gain of the RLS problem,
which is then directly used to compute MIMO Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE) coefficients. The
FBE coefficients are computed by convolving the FFE coefficients with the channel impulse
response. Complexity of a conventional FTF algorithm may be reduced to one third of its
original complexity by selecting a DFE delay to force the FTF algorithm to use a lower
triangular matrix. The length of the DFE may be selected to minimize the tap energy in the FBE
coefficients or to ensure that the tap energy in the FBE coefficients meets a threshold.
