Patent EP-1006594-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MANNHART JOCHEN DIETER PROF DR
IPC: H01L39/12
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The present invention concerns an enhancement of the supercurrent carrying
capabilities of bicristalline or polycrystalline high- T c    superconductors, i.e. the
critical current densities in such superconductors. The current transport properties
are improved by chemically altering, especially doping, the superconductors.
It seems that a modification of the space-charge layers at the boundary,
e.g. by an increase of the mobile charge carrier concentrations particularly in
the superconductor's grain boundaries, which concentrations differ from those
resulting in optimum superconducting properties of the grains, are responsible
for this positive effect.

Abstract: Tire rubbers which are prepared by anionic
polymerization are frequently coupled with a suitable
coupling agent, such as a tin halide, to improve
desired properties. It has been unexpectedly found
that greatly improved properties for tire rubbers,
such as lower hysteresis, can be attained by
asymmetrically coupling the rubber. This invention
discloses a process for preparing an asymmetrical tin-coupled
rubbery polymer which comprises: (1)
continuously polymerizing in a first reactor at least
one diene monomer to a conversion of at least about 90
percent, utilizing an anionic initiator to produce a
polymer cement containing living polydiene rubber
chains; (2) continuously feeding the polymer cement
produced in the first reactor into a second reactor;
(3) adding a tin halide to the polymer cement in a
second reactor under conditions of agitation to
produce a polymer cement having the tin halide
homogeneously dispersed therein, wherein the residence
time in the second reactor is within the range of
about 15 minutes to about 4 hours; (4) continuously
feeding the polymer cement having the tin halide
homogeneously dispersed therein into a plug flow
reactor having a residence time of about 15 minutes to
about 1 hour to produce a polymer cement of the
asymmetrically tin-coupled rubbery polymer; and (5)
continuously withdrawing the polymer cement of the
asymmetrically tin-coupled rubbery polymer from the
plug flow reactor. The asymmetrically tin-coupled
rubbery polymer made by this process exhibits improved
stability on aging.

Abstract: In a data recording system utilizing multiple channels and data blocks wherein the data
blocks are read subsequent to being written so as to check for errors, the data blocks are
rewritten according to a method to provide for rewriting only the defective data blocks. The
blocks may be rewritten on other than their original channels. Channels for rewriting are
determined by selecting a channel with a highest current block number so that data is
rewritten in a channel which has been able to write and verify the most of its original blocks.
Error checking is continued in a channel even after finding of an error in that channel. Data
blocks of the frames may be skewed between the channels at a beginning of the frame. A ring
counter output is applied to break a deadlock between attempts to rewrite data blocks to the
same channel.

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement to the
method of determining the concentration of an analyte
in body fluid using at least two immunoreactants which
specifically bind with separate epitopes of the analyte
one of which immunoreactant is immobilized on a
solid support and the other is in the form of a polymer
or oligomer of the immunoreactant and an enzyme.
The improvement involves introducing to the assay system
a polymeric conjugate of the enzyme and a water
soluble protein other than the enzyme or a non-proteinaceous
natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic
polymer or oligomer in sufficient amount to reduce
bias in the assay due to incorrect recovery of the
analyte.
