Patent EP-1683409-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MAEDA TAKIRO
IPC: A01G9/00

Abstract: It is intended to provide a process for producing peanut sprouts by improving the growth environment and designing the most adequate growth conditions for the properties of peanut sprouts, whereby a high yield can be ensured while preventing the occurrence of diseases or fungi and the texture of the sprouts can be improved. A diluted aqueous solution containing an essential metal component activating organisms is sprinkled in the form of fine mist or droplets over a water-permeable medium at definite intervals. Thus, moisture and nutrients can be supplied to peanut plants on the medium and, at the same time, the environmental humidity can be maintained at a definite level. Thus, appropriate moisture and the essential metal can be supplied to the peanut plants while preventing the plants from contact with excessive moisture. As a result, germination inhibitor components of peanut can be attenuated and germination can be promoted. By maintaining the environmental atmosphere at an appropriate humidity, aerobic contaminating germs can hardly grow in the environment and thus the occurrence of fungi and bacteria exerting undesirable effects on the appearance or taste can be regulated in the course of germination. Thus, the process form sowing to germination can be smoothly carried out and products for shipment having a favorable appearance and taste can be obtained at a considerably elevated ratio.

Abstract: A method of making a microelectronic spring contact array comprises forming a plurality of spring contacts on a sacrificial substrate and then releasing the spring contacts from the sacrificial substrate. Each of the spring contacts has an elongated beam having a base end. The method of making the array includes attaching the spring contacts at their base ends to a base substrate after they have been released entirely from the sacrificial substrate, so that each contact extends from the base substrate to a distal end of its beams. The distal ends are aligned with a predetermined array of tip positions. In an embodiment of the invention, the spring contacts are formed by patterning contours of the spring contacts in a sacrificial layer on the sacrificial substrate. The walls of patterned recesses in the sacrificial layer define side profiles of the spring contacts, and a conductive material is deposited in the recesses to form the elongated beams of the spring contacts.
