Abstract: A method of carrying out an operation on a semiconductor body (1) during which a further body (2) is fastened to the semiconductor body (1) by means of an adhesive (3), the operation is carried out, and the semiconductor body (1) is detached from the further body (2) and divested of the adhesive (3). According to the invention, a carbohydrate or a mixture of carbohydrates is used as the adhesive. It is achieved by this that the semiconductor body can be divested of the adhesive by means of polar or slightly apolar solvents which are much less harmful to humans and the environment than apolar solvents which are used for known adhesives.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system comprising
     lighting units (1-N) each provided with a lamp (La),   control means (I) for influencing the luminous fluxes of the lamps, comprising
   first adjustment means (II) for selecting a lighting mode of the lighting system,   further adjustment means (III) for changing a desired luminous flux value in a chosen location illuminated by at least one lighting unit belonging to a first group of the lighting units within a lighting mode.       
     According to the invention, the system is also provided with correction means (IV) for automatically changing the luminous fluxes of the lighting units belonging to a second group of lighting units in dependence on a change in the desired luminous flux value in the chosen location.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission is controlled to control a speed reduction ratio (i) using, as a control value, a rate of change di/dt of the speed reduction ratio that is determined using a reserve horsepower of the engine, engine rotational speed Ne, vehicle speed V, a present acceleration Ga and a target acceleration Gon. If the rate of change of an indication by a driver of an intention (ϑAP) to accelerate or decelerate is greater than a predetermined value, a target engine rotational speed Neo (corresponding to the indication) is greater than the actual engine rotational speed Nea, and the target acceleration Gon is greater than the present acceleration Ga on the acceleration side (positive side), then an acceleration skip control process is determined as being required, and carried out to increase the rate of change di/dt of the speed reduction ratio immediately thereafter. A deceleration skip control is carried out to increase the rate of change di/dt of the speed reduction ratio, if an accelerator opening is substantially fully closed and the continuously variable transmission has changed from the normal to the low-speed running range.

Abstract: An electrodeless fluorescent lamp of the type having a solenoidal drive coil (16) wound about a ferrite core (14) includes an inner shield (30) between the coil and the core and further includes an outer shield (40) about the coil. The shields are preferably constructed of sheets of flexible polyimide material (22) with vertical bands (20) of metal etched thereon. The metal bands are connected to ground in order to shield the core and the plasma from the electric field generated about the drive coil. By thus shielding the core, the capacitance between the coil and the core is effectively short-circuited, substantially reducing or eliminating dielectric losses of the core. The outer shield substantially reduces the EMI generated by the drive coil.

Abstract: A data communication system, such as a local area network, is provided with a capability of transmitting isochronous data. Preferably the system conveys both isochronous data and non-isochronous data by time-multiplexing the data into a recurring frame structure on a four-bit nibble basis. Bandwidth available for a particular isochronous source/sink is selectable and sustainable with a predefined granularity. Data rates can be adjusted by using "rate adjustment" time slots which can transmit data in some frames and "no data" in other frames. A particular time frame or template is provided which accommodates isochronous data, non-isochronous data, D channel data, maintenance data and frame synchronization signals. Non-isochronous operation and bandwidth allocation is independent and transparent to the isochronous data activity. Frame timing can be coordinated with one or more reference clock signals, e.g., from a public telephone or wide area network. A buffer can convert between the source/sink or hub circuitry data rates and the data rates for transmission over the physical media which, for a given type of data, is discontinuous on a small time scale.

Abstract: A method for determining pH or pCO₂ using luminescent lifetimes and energy transfer in which an energy transfer donor-acceptor pair is exposed to a sample to be analyzed, the donor of the donor-acceptor pair being photoluminescent and the acceptor of the donor-acceptor pair being sensitive to the pH or pCO₂ of the sample. One or both of the donor-acceptor pair may be bound to a carrier. The sample is irradiated and the resultant emission detected. By measuring the apparent luminescent lifetime, the pH or pCO₂ of the sample can be determined.

The retaining body exhibits two depressions (45) having in each case one angled-off stop surface (9) which runs obliquely with respect to the wall surface and merges into a bearing edge (10), while the suspension bracket (35) exhibits a cutout having a correspondingly obliquely running edge (38) which merges into a bearing surface (39). The retaining bodies are concreted into the masonrywork, bores on the retaining body serving for the alignment and fastening on the shuttering. The suspension brackets are mounted on the light shaft such that the third, perpendicular edge of the cutout is flush with the front surface of the light shaft. Thereafter, the light shaft is fastened on the wall by means of the suspension-bracket parts (36) which can be pushed into the retaining bodies. Such a device permits considerably quicker and simpler mounting of light shafts. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour mélanger une quantité de liquide en vue d'une analyse, ainsi qu'une aiguille de mélange et de mesure (1) prévue à cet effet. L'aiguille (1) utilisée pour le mélange comporte un conduit d'écoulement (3) présentant à son extrémité au moins un orifice d'aspiration et de refoulement (4), et le mélange s'effectue par maintien de l'orifice, au-dessous de la surface de liquide (10), dans une éprouvette (6) ou autre récipient de mélange similaire, et par exécution d'un mouvement alternatif, le liquide étant en alternance aspiré du récipient vers un conduit d'écoulement de l'aiguille et projeté en retour du conduit d'écoulement vers le récipient. L'invention réside essentiellement dans le fait que le conduit d'écoulement (3) comporte un étranglement (19) s'étendant essentiellement vers l'orifice (4) à son extrémité, et la résistance à l'écoulement dans le sens longitudinal du conduit est multipliée au moins par dix, ce qui fait que lors des phases de refoulement depuis l'orifice, on observe, selon le phénomène de la veine contractée, un écoulement liquidien (20) d'abord convergent et ensuite divergent et turbulent. Le mélange peut être combiné avec la mesure s'effectuant dans l'aiguille simultanément, l'aiguille se vidant graduellement du liquide à mesurer. La pointe de l'aiguille est conique et présente au moins un orifice (4) orienté de côté par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de l'aiguille. L'aiguille (1) peut être fabriquée par électroformage.
