Abstract: The difference of luminance between a front surface side
and a rear surface side as viewed from the front surface side
is reduced in a multi-layered EL. An EL lamp includes a first
laminate (F) formed by serially laminating a first transparent
electrode (1), a first luminescent layer (2) and a first insulating (13)
layer, a second laminate (S) formed by serially laminating a second
transparent electrode (4), a second luminescent layer (5) and a second
insulating layer (6) on the first laminate (F), and a rear electrode (7)
formed on the second laminate (S), wherein a dielectric constant
between the first (1) and second (4) transparent electrodes is set to
a value smaller than a dielectric constant between the second (4)
transparent electrode and the rear electrode (7). This can be
achieved by limiting the amount of a high dielectric material
to be mixed in the first insulating layer (13) to not greater than
90% in terms of a weight ratio of a high dielectric material
mixed in the second insulating layer (6), or by limiting the thickness
of the first luminescent layer (13) to 130 to 250% of the thickness
of the second luminescent layer (6). After the adjustment is made
in this way, the thickness of the first insulating layer (13) may
be set to not greater than 90% of the thickness of the second
insulating layer (7).

Abstract: When a connector housing 20 and an equipment connector 10 are correctly joined, a
regulating groove 24D of a retainer 24 of the housing 20 fits with a rib 16 of the
equipment connector 10, thereby allowing the two housings 10 and 20 to be fitted
together. The position of groove 24D may be varied to suit different positions of rib 16,
thereby permitting a common connector housing to be made suitable for a specific
equipment connector having an appropriate rib. The shape of the retainer 24 is simpler
than the shape of the housing main body 21. Consequently, the cost of the mould for
the retainer 24 is lower.

Abstract: Electromagnetic deflection unit for colour
cathode-ray tubes, comprising a pair of horizontal
deflection coils and a pair of vertical deflection
coils, the saddle-shaped vertical deflection coils
having a rear bundle on the electron-gun side and a
front bundle located on the screen side, lateral
conductor harnesses 120 connecting the two bundles so
as to produce a main window in the intermediate region
lying between these said bundles, the conductor
harnesses being arranged so that, at the front end of
the main window 18, on the screen side, the window 18
extends over a radial angular aperture Φ of greater

     This arrangement of the conductors in the rear
part of the window makes it possible to minimize the
vertical convergence errors between the red and blue

Title: High-strength low-alloy steel anodes for aluminium electrowinning cells
Inventor: DE NORA VITTORIO
IPC: C25C3/12
Filed: 2000-01-10
Abstract: An anode of a cell for the electrowinning of aluminium comprises a low-carbon high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel body or layer whose surface is oxidised to form a coherent and adherent outer iron oxide-based layer the surface of which is electrochemically active for the evolution of oxygen. The iron oxide-based layer has a low solubility in the molten electrolyte. During use, the thickness of the iron oxide-based layer is such as to reduce or prevent diffusion of oxygen from the electrochemically active surface into the steel body or layer. During cell operation, the anode may be maintained dimensionally stable by saturating the electrolyte with anode constituents.

Abstract: A networking conferencing and collaboration tool utilizing an enhanced T.128 application sharing protocol. This enhanced protocol is based on a per-host model command, control, and communication structure. This per-host model reduces network traffic, allows greater scalability through dynamic system resource allocation, allows a single host to establish and maintain a share session with no other members present, and supports true color graphics. The per-host model allows private communication between the host and a remote with periodic broadcasts of updates by the host to the entire share group. This per-host model also allows the host to allow, revoke, pause, and invite control of the shared applications. Subsequent passing of control is provided, also with the hosts acceptance. The model contains no fixed limit on the number of participants, and dynamically allocates resources when needed to share or control a shared application. These resources are then freed when no longer needed. Calculation of minimum capabilities is conducted by the host as the membership of the share changes. The host then transmits these requirements to the share group.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for making a spark plug, in particular, for making a high-performance spark plug having a center electrode having a firing end made of Pt, Ir, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ru or alloy thereof, with its firing end diameter of about 0.3-1.0 mm. One of the embodiments provides a method comprising the steps of: extending a metal strip from an end of the metal shell; positioning a spacer above a firing end of the center electrode; preliminarily bending the metal strip toward the spacer so as to form an arc portion in the metal strip; and then precisely forming a gap-distance between the metal strip and the firing end of the center electrode by applying a force to the metal strip. The method may further include a step of measuring the position of the firing end of the center electrode so as to determine a position for the spacer and/or a step of retrieving the spacer after bending the metal strip so that the gap-distance between the metal strip and the center electrode is adjusted to a required value by referring to a position of the preliminary bent metal strip and the position of the firing end of the center electrode. The invention also provides an apparatus for performing this method.

Title: Procede et dispositif permettant de reduire la dispersion d'echantillons dans les courbures et les jonctions de systemes a microvoies
Inventor: GRIFFITHS STEWART K
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2000-04-11
Abstract: L'invention concerne une amélioration du comportement des systèmes à microvoies consistant à établir des courbures, des divisions en Y, des raccords en té et autres jonctions entraînant de faibles dispersions d'échantillons au moment du passage dans la courbure ou la jonction. La réduction du phénomène de dispersion résulte de la présence de zones de contraction (506) et d'expansion (510), lesquelles réduisent la section transversale sur une partie de la courbure ou de la jonction. En réalisant avec soin la géométrie de ces zones, on ramène la dispersion d'échantillons dans les courbures et les jonctions à des niveaux comparables aux effets de la diffusion ordinaire. Un algorithme numérique a été utilisé pour faire évoluer les géométries de faible dispersion: on a évalué le champ électrique ou le champ de pression dans des configurations candidates, le transport d'échantillons via les courbures ou les jonctions, et la dispersion globale effective. De tels dispositifs devraient permettre d'augmenter considérablement la souplesse de conception des systèmes à microvoies, car la présence des courbures et des jonctions considérées n'induit aucune dispersion d'échantillons importante. En particulier, la possibilité de plier des colonnes de séparation électrophorétique et électrochromatographique apportera des améliorations spectaculaires dans la miniaturisation des dispositifs considérés. Les dispositifs à faible dispersion sont particulièrement indiqués pour la séparation électrophorétique et électrochromatographique. Ils conviennent aussi aux systèmes microfluidiques utilisant des flux électroosmotiques ou entraînés par pression pour le transport des échantillons, la réaction, le mélange, la dilution ou la synthèse.
