Patent EP-0441324-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAKEBE KATSUHIKO
IPC: G01D5/18
Filed: 1991-02-05
Abstract: A semiconductor sensor includes a field-effect transistor (2) for detecting a physical quantity such as pressure, strain, acceleration or the like. The field-effect transistor (2) is disposed on an an elastically deformable portion of a cantilevered semiconductor substrate. A detected signal generator (3) generates a signal representing a change in a drain current (1D) of the field-effect transistor (2) in response to a stress which is applied to the field-effect transistor due to elastic deformation of the semiconductor substrate. The field-effect transistor (2) may be supplied with a fixed gate bias voltage and an integrator (4) may generate a signal representing an integral of the drain current (1D) for temperature compensation. Alternatively, an integrator may generate a signal representing an integral of the drain current, and a gate bias voltage may be applied to the field-effect transistor so that the signal generated by the integrator will be of a predetermined value for automatic temperature compensation. As a further alternative, a self-bias circuit may be connected between the field-effect transistor and the detected signal generator for applying a gate self-bias voltage to the field-effect transistor for automatic temperature compensation.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided for achieving positive latching in a fully mated condition. The assembly includes a first connector (10) and a second connector (12). The first connector (10) has at least one latch arm (50) resiliently deflectable about two angularly aligned axes (x & y) of deflection. The second connector (12) includes a cam (62) disposed for engagement with the latch arm (50) during mating of the connectors and for deflecting the latch arm about a first (x) of the two axes of deflection into a latching condition in response to full mating of the connectors. The second connector (12) includes a housing (30) for enclosing the latch arm (50) inside the housing when the connectors are fully mated. Access is provided to the latch arm (50) of the first connector (10) from outside the housing (30) of the second connector (12) whereby the latch arm (50) can be deflected about a second (y) of the two axes of deflection to enable disengagement of the latch arm (50) from the cam (62) for facilitating unmating of the connector.

Abstract: A charge coupled imaging device comprises a substrate of first conductivity type and an overlying well layer of a second opposite conductivity type first formed as an unpatterned layer. A charge transfer channel layer of the first conductivity type is also first formed as an unpatterned layer and longitudinal spaced apart channel stop regions of the second conductivity type are patterned to overlie the well layer and are in contact therewith. The substrate, the channel stops, and the well are preferably biased with respect to each other so as to effect complete charge depletion in the charge transfer and well regions for providing a vertical antiblooming drain to the substrate. A feature of the invention is a two layer electrode arrangement in which alternate electrodes transversely overlie the channels and the channel stops and are insulated therefrom and each other. Output registers at the end of the charge transfer channels provide a read out of multiple phases of the channels in ordered sequence.

Abstract: A doll's hair comprising synthetic fibers to which a water repellent is applied, said fiber having such a water repellency that when a liquid droplet of 20 % by weight aqueous isopropyl alcohol solution is placed on the bundle of said fibers, the droplet is kept as it is for not less than one minute on the bundle. Since the doll's hair comprises the fibers having the excellent water repellency, even if a child plays at a doll in a bathroom, for instance, she dips the doll in water, and combs or shampoos the hair, water can be easily removed from the hair, and the original hairstyle can be quickly restored.

Abstract: In test devices used for polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA, beads bearing reagents are used to attach to the DNA. However, in such test devices, the flow of liquid sample is through the layer of the beads. It is desirable in some test devices to have the flow of liquid sample past the bead layer. However, this has the disadvantage that a number of the beads may be washed away leaving an insufficient number to complete the test analysis. Described herein is a test device (10) comprising beads (80, 82, 84, 86) with a reagent attached, the beads being physically fused to a support (70). The support (70) comprises a material selected to have a melting temperature significantly lower than that of the beads (80, 82, 84, 86). Polyethylene is a preferred example of such a material.

Abstract: A refrigeration motor compressor assembly has a housing (12) including a lubricant sump (43) in the bottom thereof into which the lower end of the drive shaft and associated rotor extend. A shield (84) is provided which is supported on and positioned by the drive shaft in underlying spaced relationship to the lower end of the rotor and associated counterweight. As the rotor rotates, lubricant disposed between the shield and rotor therein is thrown outwardly across the end turns of the stator thus serving to cool same. The shield serves to restrict the return flow of oil to the area immediately below the rotor thus reducing the viscous drag on the motor yet still allowing sufficient circulation of oil to achieve the desired cooling of the stator.

Abstract: cDNA prepared by extracting mRNA from the interstitial cells of the human bone marrow was expressed, after being cloned, with the cells of a mammal. A protein having an activity of inhibiting adipocyte formation was separated from the cell culture supernatant having such an activity and purified. The protein was found to have an apparent molecular weight of about 23,000 by conducting SDS-PAGE electrophoresis under a reducing condition and have an N-terminal proline residue as a result of identification of the N-terminal amino acid sequence by Edman degradation. The total primary structure of the protein was determined by the above-mentioned finding and the result of genetic cloning described above to reveal that it is a cytokine having an activity of inhibiting adipocyte formation and a new structure. Thus it has become possible to produce a novel adipocyte formation inhibitor in a large amount by the recombined DNA technology and to diagnose and treat various cytopeniae and other diseases.
