Abstract: Fixed amounts of a liquid source for a chemical vapor deposition process is supplied continuously from a source tank (12) and through a liquid mass flow controller (14) to a three-way valve (16). Inside the three-way valve (16), the liquid source is evaporated to generate a source gas by contacting a high-temperature carrier gas which flows therethrough and becomes mixed with the source gas. The gas mixture thus generated is supplied into a process chamber (24) for a chemical vapor deposition process. The carrier gas may be heated by a gas heater (18, 20) before entering the three-way valve. Alternatively, the three-way valve (16) may be enclosed inside a thermostatic container, the carrier gas being heated inside the container.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for intermittently discharging flowable material onto a substrate comprises a mani­fold (12) formed with a bore (14) which carries an axially movable piston (16). The piston (16) divides the bore (14) into a first chamber (18) on one side of the piston (16) and a second chamber (20) on the other side thereof each having an inlet (22, 26) connected to a supply device such as a dispensing gun or module, and an outlet (24, 28) connected to a discharge device such as a dispensing module. The supply devices and discharge devices are selectively moved to a position to fill the first chamber (18) with flowable material and force the piston (16) to move axially within the bore (14) toward the second chamber (20) to discharge flowable material therefrom, and thereafter to fill the second chamber (20) with flowable material so that the direction of movement of the piston (16) is reversed and flowable material is discharged from the first cham­ber (18). Stops (80, 82) are provided to control the extent of axial movement of the piston (16) within the bore (14) which, in turn, controls the volume of flowable material dis­charged from the chambers (18, 20) in response to movement of the piston (16).

Abstract: A gradation record printer in which an amount of energy applied to a thermal head (2) is controlled in response to a gradation level of an input image signal to print an image on a printing medium (3) with gradations. The printer comprises a gradation density detecting unit (12) for storing data of standard density patterns with respect to address values corresponding to gradation levels and for outputting a coincidence signal when data supplied from an outside of the gradation density detecting unit (12) substantially coincides with the data of standard density patterns, a gradation test print circuit (11) for applying data of different amounts of printing energy to the thermal head (2) sequentially to make a gradation test print on the printing medium (3), a density detecting sensor (13) for detecting densities of the gradation test print and for applying a detection output from the density detecting sensor (13) to the gradation density detecting unit (12) and a memory element (9) for storing the data of different amounts of energy with respect to address values corresponding to the gradation levels in response to the coincidence signal from the gradation density detecting unit (12). In practical printing, the input image signal is applied to the memory element (9) and the data for the amounts of printing energy corresponding to gradation levels of the image signal is read out of the memory element (9) thereby to perform a printing operation. Accordingly, the printing operation can be performed with the printing energy suitable for the thermal characteristic of the given printing medium (3) and the resultant print is excellent in gradation characteristic.

Abstract: A method of producing an ultra-low-carbon steel by conducting vacuum-decarburization of a molten steel by means of a vacuum degasifier of the type having recirculation pipes and a vacuum chamber. When the carbon content of the molten steel has come down to a level of 50 ppm or less, hydrogen gas is introduced together with an inert gas into the molten steel either by directly injecting a hydrogen-containing gas into the molten steel in the vacuum chamber through a tuyere provided in the wall of the vacuum chamber or by blowing the hydrogen-containing gas onto the surface of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber through a lance provided in the vacuum chamber. In order to enhance the effect produced by the method of the present invention, it is possible to take an additional measure such as blowing of hydrogen gas through a tuyere provided in the wall of the recirculation pipe or injection of hydrogen or hydrogen-containing gas through an injection lance immersed in the molten steel held in, a ladle.

The preparations contain a sufficient amount of dicarboxylic acid salt to stabilize the protein in freeze-dried form for a desired time at a desired temperature. Typical dicarboxylic acid salts disclosed are the salts of citric, tartaric, and aspartic acids. The preparations preferably include a non-reducing disaccharide to increase the collapse temperature of the solution to be lyophilized. Methods of making the preparations in lyophilized form and the resulting injectable preparations are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a male threaded plug (10) having a screw thread (11) to engage in a corresponding threaded socket. The threaded plug is formed from a relatively hard plastics material and strips of a relatively soft plastics material are moulded onto the thread extending in the lengthwise direction of the plug at spaced locations around the plug so as to engage in the threads of the plug but not to project significantly above the outer periphery of the plug. Thus the threaded plug can readily be engaged in the threaded socket and engagement of the thread deforms or distorts the supplemental strips of material to cause the supplemental material to fill any voids between the threads of plug and socket and thereby form a seal between the threads. The arrangement is equally applicable to other forms of screw threaded members.
