Abstract: The invention provides a simple method of manufacturing a broadband, switchable cholesteric filter. To this end, a mixture of polymerizable, liquid-crystalline molecules is provided between two, substantially parallel substrates, which are each provided with an electrode. This mixture is subsequently polymerized with UV light to form an optically active layer of cholesteric order comprising a three-dimensional polymeric network. If the mixture also contains a quantity of a photo-stabilizing compound, a broadband, cholesteric filter is obtained. The mixture preferably comprises, in addition to maximally 5 wt.% of the photo-stabilizing compound, maximally 2 wt.% of monomers having at least two polymerizable groups, maximally 90 wt.% of liquid-crystalline monomers having one polymerizable group, as well as a mixture of chiral and/or achiral liquid-crystalline molecules without a polymerizable group. Switchable cholesteric filters having a bandwidth of 200 nm and more can be obtained in this manner.

Abstract: An integrated suspension for a slider in a magnetic storage system has a simplified structure that is relatively easy to manufacture. The novel integrated suspension may be assembled from separate pieces, including a load beam, a flexure and a mounting plate. The load beam provides rigid structural support of the flexure. The flexure includes a flexible member and leads integrally formed thereon. A section of the flexible member is fixedly attached to the load member, and another section having the slider mounted thereon presses against a pivot projection in the load beam for gimbal motions. An interlocking structure is provided to limit the extent of gimbal motions of the flexible member, comprising a tab extending from the flexible member into an aperture in the load beam. Alternatively, a tang is formed in the flexible member which is used to form a clip which serves to limit gimbal motions as it interacts with the load beam.

Date Aug. 21, 1997A composite floor structure comprises a mortar layer set by a mineral agent and a carrier plate adjoining the lower surface of the mortar layer. The carrier plate has upwardly projecting structural members extending into the mortar. The dimensions of the mortar coating over the structural members are so low that the structures created in the mortar by the structural members represent weak areas. When stresses arise in the mortar layer, joint face assemblies connecting weak areas are formed to reduce stress in a uniform manner. By forming different joint face assemblies, a joint face structure is produced, wherein to reduce stress, the stress causing the mortar to fracture only results in a low level of longitudinal change in each individual joint face. Consequently, each individual joint face only takes the form of a microcrack.

Abstract: A method for clamping a wafer to an electrostatic chuck having a substantially resistive dielectric layer disposed thereon. The method includes the step of providing a build-up voltage having a first polarity to a pole of the electrostatic chuck to cause a potential difference to build up between a first region of the substantially resistive dielectric layer and a second region of the wafer that overlies at least a portion of the first region. This potential difference gives rise to a clamping force to clamp the wafer to the electrostatic chuck. The method further includes the step of terminating the build-up voltage when the clamping force substantially reaches a predefined level. There is further included the step of providing a holding voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially maintain the clamping force at the predefined level. This holding voltage has the first polarity and a magnitude that is lower than a magnitude of the build-up voltage. There is further included the step of providing a declamping voltage to the pole of the electrostatic chuck to substantially remove the clamping force, the declamping voltage having a polarity that is opposite to the first polarity.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and improved way of continuously cooking fibre material, wherein temperatures and alkaline levels are controlled to be maintained within specific levels in different zones of the digesting process in order to optimise chemical consumption and heat-economy and at the same time achieve very good pulp properties. The fibre material is heated and impregnated by the aid of black liquor to a temperature less than 140  DEG C and passed in con-current in an impregnation zone (A). The heated and impregnated fibre material is transferred to a con-current cooking zone (B) in the upper part of a digester (6). At least 60 % of the quantity of liquor (F) required for the cooking reaction is supplied in the up-stream end of the con-current cooking zone (B) in order to obtain a level of effective alkali exceeding 35 g/l. The cooking temperature in the con-current cooking zone (B) is lower than 160  DEG C. Spent liquor (E), with an amount of effective alkali of at least 13 g/l, is withdrawn from a strainer girdle (8). A substantial part of the spent liquor is supplied to the impregnation zone.

The invention employs bandwidth reduction (101) prior to or in the encoder (103), followed by spectral-band replication (105) at the decoder (107). This is accomplished by the use of new transposition methods, in combination with spectral envelope adjustments. Reduced bitrate at a given perceptual quality or an improved perceptual quality at a given bitrate is offered. The invention is preferably integrated in a hardware or software codec, but can also be implemented as a separate processor in combination with a codec.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method that allows the use of filamentous bacteriophages to detect the presence of molecules of interest in biological samples. It consists of a series of combined operations, which are drawn up and defined according to the characteristics of the phages employed. These have, exposed on the surfaces of the capsid, at least one molecule, generally but not exclusively of proteic nature, capable of binding at least one molecule of interest present in the biological sample. Detection of the presence of the molecule takes place, according to the method of the invention, using the association between the molecule exposed on the surfaces of the phage and the genome of the phage itself. The ability to form specific complexes typical of the molecule exposed on the capsid enables formation of phage-molecule of interest complexes, which can be detected by means of amplification of known sequences in the phage DNA. The method according to the invention is extremely sensitive and can be used in particular for diagnostic and prognostic purposes.
