Abstract: A method of cutting an object which can
accurately cut the object is provided. An object to be
processed 1 such as a silicon wafer is irradiated with
laser light L while a light-converging point P is
positioned therewithin, so as to form a modified region
7 due to multiphoton absorption within the object 1,
and cause the modified region 7 to form a starting
point region for cutting 8 shifted from the center line
CL of the thickness of the object 1 toward the front
face 3 of the object 1 along a line along which the
object should be cut. Subsequently, the object 1 is
pressed from the rear face 21 side thereof. This can
generate a fracture from the starting point region for
cutting 8 acting as a start point, thereby accurately
cutting the object 1 along the line along which the
object should be cut.

IPC: B60R13/02
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a supporting module with waterproof
seal for vehicle doors mainly comprised of a flexible laminar element (2) that
can establish a waterproof seal between the wet and dry sides of the door (1),
also meant to facilitate the mounting tasks of each component. The flexible
laminar element has a sufficient supporting capacity to allow a preliminary
mounting on it of the various door components for a subsequent installation of
the entire assembly on the door in a single operation; however, the strength and
structural capacities of the door continue to rely on its reinforcements and ribs,
and not on the flexible laminar element, thereby allowing a cheaper and simpler
laminar element and assembly as a whole.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for gripping and transferring a ring of electrical conductors in the form of pins which are used to produce a winding, such as a pin winding.  The gripping device (C) is designed to seize the ring from a first element, such as a ring-forming element, and to transfer same into a second element (B), such as an element used to insert the ring into the member that supports the winding to be produced.  The inventive device comprises a control cone (19) which can be moved axially inside a frame (13) for contact with levers (15) which are pivot mounted to the frame, such that the levers pivot when the cone is moved.  The winding-production system is characterised in that it comprises an autonomous gripping and transfer device (C) which can be separated from the above-mentioned first and second elements (B) and which can be positioned on same in a pre-determined reference position.  The invention can be used to produce a stator for an electrically-rotating machine.

Abstract: A selective inhibition of sintering (SIS) technique may be used to fabricate a three-dimensional (3-D) dense metal object from a binderless metal powder. Layers of metal powder are provided on a build tank. For each layer, regions of the layer are sinter-inhibited, e.g., by depositing a sinter-inhibiting material such as a ceramic slurry, a metal salt, or oxidizing metal particles in the powder using chemicals or a concentrated heat source. Each layer may be compacted before the next layer is provided. A final compact may then be sintered. Unwanted sintered sections may be removed from the compact at boundaries formed by the sinter-inhibited (unsintered) regions, and the object extracted.

IPC: G01S5/30
Filed: 2003-08-04
Abstract: A distance measuring system comprises first and second transducers, and an ultrasound ranging subsystem coupled to the first and second transducers for performing a plurality of distance measurements between the first and second transducers. The distance measurement system can have various applications, including medical applications, in which case, the first and second transducers can be mounted on a catheter. The distance measuring system further comprises a filter coupled to the ultrasound ranging subsystem for filtering ultrasound interference from the plurality of distance measurements (such as, e.g., eight), and outputting a distance based on the filtered distance measurements. The filter filters the ultrasound interference by selecting one of the plurality distance measurements, in which case, the outputted distance is the selected distance measurement. Because the ultrasound interference will typically represent itself as the shortest distance measurement, the selected distance measurement is preferably greater than the minimum distance measurement (such as, e.g., the maximum distance measurement), thereby filtering the ultrasound interference out.

Abstract: Second digital information serving as copyright
protection information can be stably and reliably read
without any effect of a defect or pit missing on a disk-shaped
recording medium. 
     Second digital information is recorded onto a disk-shaped
recording medium by wobbling a pit sequence recorded
as a first signal. The second digital information is
recorded so that a plurality of bits constituting the second
digital information are allocated in a unit period of an
identical sync signal contained in the first signal. During
playback, the plurality of bits constituting the recorded
second digital information are read a plurality of times
every unit period of the sync signal, and information of the
read bits is then integrated. Thus, information from a
large number of wobbled pits across unit periods of a
plurality of sync signals can be integrated to determine the
bit values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to human insulin expression plasmids and a method for producing insulin using the same. The plasmid comprise a sequence encoding a compound of the formula R-B-X-A, in which R is a leader peptide of the formula of Met-Thr-Met-Ile-Thr-Y, in which Y is one selected from lysine, arginine, a peptide containing lysine as an amino acid at its C-terminal, or a peptide containing arginine as an amino acid at its C-terminal; B is human insulin B-chain or analogue thereof; X is a peptide connecting B with A; and A is human insulin A-chain or analogue thereof. The method for preparing insulin using the plasmids according to the present invention converts the proinsulin fusion protein into human insulin in a single enzymatic cleavage process and minimizes the generation of by-products after the enzymatic cleavage, thereby producing insulin at a high yield. Therefore, the plasmids according to the present invention and the method for preparing insulin using the same can’t be usefully applied to the industrial mass-production of human insulin.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for characterizing and a method for identifying a package in particular filled with cigarettes comprising a package element for packaging the material to be packaged and an envelope enclosing at least partly the packaging element. The invention also concerns a device for characterizing and a device for identifying a package in particular a package filled with cigarettes comprising an element for packaging the material to be packaged and an envelope enclosing at least partly the packaging material. The invention further concerns a package, in particular a cigarette package. The prior art characterizing and identifying methods and devices do not enable reliable verification of the authenticity of the package, since the known security measures can be circumvented. The inventive methods and devices, as a result of the random and unique nature of the recording of an individual code and a characteristic property of the packaging element and/or of the envelope, which is present on all the successive products, enable unequivocal and reliable verification of the authenticity of the package, with limited costs. The inventive package which comprises an additional screened mark contributes to an unequivocal identification.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé pour préparer des particules catalytiques ayant un diamètre de particule de l'ordre de 20-2000 microns, le procédé comprenant les étapes suivantes: mélange par agitation d'au moins deux substances catalytiques sèches; pulvérisation d'un agent de liaison liquide sur les substances catalytiques tout en poursuivant l'agitation; et isolation des particules catalytiques formées, lesdits particules ayant le diamètre de particule désiré et comprenant les substances catalytiques. Contrairement à la méthode conventionnelle de préparation de particules de ce type, la méthode de pulvérisation-séchage, le procédé de l'invention permet la formation de petites particules à partir de suspensions à teneur élevée en matière solide. Ainsi, de plus petites quantités de liquide doivent être éliminées par évaporation, ce qui rend le procédé économe en énergie.
