Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a peelable anti-solder mask as a sealant against potting compound. In certain electrical apparatus, a modular component (300) must be attached to a side of a printed circuit board (PCB) (110) which has previously been exposed to solder. Solder 'pick up' is prevented by application of a removable mask (202) over areas of the exposed side of the PCB (110) which will receive the modular component (300). Potting compound is used to protect components of electrical circuits (108) from vibration, moisture and static discharges. The anti-solder mask (202) can be used as a thin gasket to prevent the ingress of potting compound between the modular component (300) and the PCB (110). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system for capturing super wide-angle panoramic images. In particular, a two-reflector system is disclosed which is substantially self-correcting in which optical aberrations are substantially eliminated, such as field curvature, astigmatism and the like. Moreover, the super wide-angle panoramic imaging apparatus of the invention captures a super-wide field of view from a substantially single reference viewpoint. The invention provides a substantially compact viewpoint, while also having a substantially flat and stigmatic image plane, in the context of a super wide-angle panoramic system. Devices and methods for capturing panoramic images of super wide-angle scenes are provided. In a particular embodiment of the invention, two reflectors are provided (e.g., one a hyperboloidal mirror, the other a concave ellipsoidal or spherical mirror), a relay system (e.g., optics such as a mirror, a lens, a pinhole and the like) and an image sensor (e.g., an electronic photo-sensor, a film and the like).

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an improved process for the preparation of quasi-crystalline boehmite. In this improved process a quasi-crystalline boehmite precursor is aged at a pH below 7, prefereably under hydrothermal conditions. It was found that when conducting the preparation processes for quasi-crystalline aluminas described in the prior art at a pH below 7 and under hydrothermal conditions instead of the high pH and thermal aging used in the prior art, QCBs with higher crystallinity are obtained. In the process according to the invention additives may be added to the quasi-crystalline boehmite precursor. This results in a high quality QCB with additives in a homogeneously dispersed state. Suitable additives are compounds containing elements selected from the group of rare earth metals alkaline earth metals, transition metals, actinides, silicon, gallium, boron, and phosphorus.

Abstract: La chute des cheveux concerne plus de 42 % de la population masculine dans le monde. Les facteurs clés de ce trouble sont une dégradation excessive de la testostérone en dihydrotestotérone et un manque de nutriments essentiels au niveau des follicules capillaires. Les traitements par voie locale ont une absorption cutanee faible, les complémentaires alimentaires n'ont pas d'effet sur la conversion de la testotérone et les médicaments par voie orale présentent une forte toxicité. Ces traitements ont une efficacité très limitée. La présente invention concerne l'utilisation d'associations d'extraits de plantes inhibiteurs de la 5 alpha réductase qui agissent de façon synergique et empêchent la conversion de la testostérone en dihydrotestostérone. Ces associations sont utiles pour la préparation de compositions pour application locale permettant de traiter la chute des cheveux. Leur combinaison avec un promoteur d'absorption permet le transport des actifs précisément au niveau des follicules capillaires sans produire d'effets secondaires. L'utilisation de compléments alimentaires contenant des acides aminés, des vitamines et des minéraux améliore encore plus l'effet de compositions pour application locale. Les compositions contenant les associations d'extraits de plantes selon l'invention peuvent êtres utilisées en tant que produit cosmétique ou pharmaceutique destinées au traitement de la chute des cheveux et de l'alopécie androgénétique.

Abstract: According to a method for producing a solid body ( 1 ) including a microstructure ( 2 ), the surface of a substrate ( 3 ) is provided with a masking layer ( 6 ) that is impermeable to a substance to be applied. The substance is then incorporated into the substrate regions not covered by the masking layer ( 6 ). A heat treatment is used to diffuse the substance into a substrate region covered by the masking layer ( 6 ) such that a concentration gradient of the substance is created in the substrate region covered by the masking layer ( 6 ), proceeding from the edge of the masking layer ( 6 ) inward with increasing distance from the edge. The masking layer ( 6 ) is then removed to expose the substrate region under this layer, and a near-surface layer of the substrate ( 3 ) in the exposed substrate region is converted by a chemical conversion reaction into a coating ( 9 ) which has a layer thickness profile corresponding to the concentration gradient of the substance contained in this near-surface layer. A supplementary treatment is implemented in a subsection of the coating ( 9 ) in which the thickness of the coating ( 9 ) is reduced.

Abstract: An interpretation system for interpreting electronic signals. The system comprising a central processor for receiving an electronic signal from a user terminal; software for (a) interpreting the signal electronically to reduce errors and (b) identifying parts of the signal that cannot be accurately interpreted electronically. In the event that there are parts of the signal that cannot be interpreted, the system is operable to present at an operator terminal the part of the signal that cannot be accurately interpreted electronically. The operator terminal is such as to allow an operator to interpret the signal and make any corrections that are deemed necessary. Once this is done, the correct interpretation is sent to the user terminal or another pre-determined electronic destination. Also provided are means for automatically adapting the electronic signal-interpretation process when operator assisted interpretation is employed, so as to extend the range of signals that can be accurately interpreted electronically. In this way, the accuracy of the system is continuously and dynamically up-dated.
