Abstract: To produce wheel blanks, a rectangular metal strip of a given and consistent thickness is shaped into a partial ring arc by cold rolling using conical rollers. The cold rolling reduced the thickness at the outer side by at least 20%, and its periphery lies on an angle of 130-310[deg] and preferably 180[deg]. Further rounding gives a bandage, with a main angle to the symmetrical axis of 20-70[deg], and the ends are welded together. Further shaping gives the hub flange by rolling at the blank pot and compression at the hub flange.

Abstract: This invention provides an electronic apparatus having a
back display portion and a back LCD impact absorbing structure
capable of preventing a front LCD from being broken through a
back LCD by a load applied from a rear cover. 
     A rear cover (20) has a back screen attaching portion (23) to which
a back screen (10) is attached and a back LCD display window (21) opened
by being surrounded by the back screen attaching portion on the
surface and a back dustproof cushion (30) on the back of the cover. 
     The longitudinal one side (22) in four sides of a back LCD display
window which forms a cutout portion is broadened like a half-moon
shape and thereby, a direct influence on this portion of a back
LCD due to an external force added to the rear cover is moderated.

Abstract: Methods are provided for estimating the performance of and/or
detecting faults in components of a multi-component system.
The performance of each component in the system is defined by
one or more performance parameters x. The performance
parameters x are related to measurement parameters z which
can be expressed as a function h() of the performance
parameters x and operating parameters w defining an operating
condition of the system. The methods comprise: (a) defining
a series of fault classes corresponding to possible outcomes
in terms of faulty components, (b) creating an initial
population of strings for each fault class, each string
comprising a plurality of elements corresponding to the
performance parameters x and operating parameters w, values
being assigned to the string elements which represent
estimated values of said parameters and which are constrained
only to indicate fault affected values for performance
parameters defining the performance of the fault affected
component or components of the respective class, and (c)
optimising an objective function J(x,w) which gives a measure
of the consistency between measured values of the measurement
parameters z collected from the system and calculated values
of the measurement parameters. The optimisation is an
Evolutionary Program based method comprising the repetitively
performed steps of: (i) evaluating the objective function for
each string and, on the basis of this evaluation, assigning a
fitness value to each string, and (ii) creating a next
generation population of strings using a selection operator
and at least one of a cross-over operator and a mutation
operator, the selection operator employing the assigned
fitness values to determine the strings that survive to the
next generation, the cross-over operator, if used, being
constrained to operate on pairs of strings from the same
fault class, and the mutation operator, if used, being 
constrained so that it does not operate on string elements
representing performance parameters other than those
performance parameters associated with the fault affected
components within the respective class.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel enzymes
with xylanolytic activity that belong to the glycoside
hydrolase Family 8. The present invention in particular
relates to enzymes isolated from bacterial psychrophilic
strains that produce xylanases with an amino acid
sequence as identified by any of SEQ ID NOs: 2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12, 14, 16, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, or a variant
thereof. Another aspect of the invention relates to the
corresponding genes. 
     These enzymes find many applications and are
advantageously used for instance in feed and food
applications such as baking. Compared to conventional
xylanases, only small amounts of enzymes are needed to
obtain a desired effect, such as an increase of the loaf
volume and/or an increase in the width of cut on the
surface of baked products.

Title: Method and mould for producing transparent optical elements consisting of polymer materials
Inventor: SCHULZ ULRIKE
IPC: B29C59/16
Filed: 2004-04-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a mold for producing transparent optical elements from polymeric materials. In this case, the optical elements that can be produced in this way are intended to have at least surface regions which have reduced interfacial reflection. According to the invention, the procedure followed here is that, in the case of a reference element which consists of a polymeric material and corresponds to the respective optical element, the entire surface or a correspondingly selected surface is exposed to the influence of high-energy ions in a vacuum. In this way, an irregular nanostructure with alternately arranged elevations and depressions lying in between is formed on the corresponding surfaces. Subsequently, a thin electrically conducting layer is applied and electrochemical forming is carried out in order to obtain a mold with a negative contour which is superposed by the nanostructure. With such a mold, the optical elements can then be produced in a molding process of the nanostructure reducing the interfacial reflection.

It is an object of the invention to provide a method of preparing a chitosan oligosaccharide and the chitosan oligosaccharide product as obtained. A novel chitosan oligosaccharide is  characterized in that  the broad-spectrum ion-bound derivatives thereof make it possible to provide the end product with additional properties and to ensure the stability of said properties under further use. The object is attained by providing an inventive method for preparing a chitosan oligosaccharide consisting in carrying out a fermentative oligomerisation of chitosan in the presence of papain and acetic acid, spay drying the thus enzymatically oligomerised product and, afterwards additionally dissolving the thus obtained product in water at least two times followed by spray drying it again. The thus transformed product is dissolved in water together with substances which contain acid groups, and a salt linkage of the chitosan oligosaccharide is carried out during a solvent process which is carried out until the ion-bound derivatives of the oligosaccharide chitosan are obtained and, afterwards are dried again. The object is also attained by producing a chitosan oligosaccharide containing an ion-bound acetic acid and additionally containing at least one acid groups- containing ion-bound substance. The inventive oligosaccharide chitosan contains 57.0-92.0 % by mass of a oligosaccharide chitosan, 2.3-3.7 % by mass of ion-bound acetic acid, the remaining being an ion-bound substance having acid groups.

Abstract: A method for treating a substrate having a layer or coating of material thereon (such as for example a metal conductor coated with an insulating 'enamel') comprises the steps of directing a pulsed beam of laser radiation at the substrate to cause an interaction or adjacent the interface between the layer or coating and the substrate, leading to local separation of the layer or coating. The removal is effected by creating an interaction effect at the interface between the substrate and the layer or coating to create an effect similar to a shockwave which causes local separation of the layer or coating at the interface.
