Patent EP-0367527-A3 (EP)
Title: A method for controlling movements of a mobile robot in a multiple node factory
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1989-10-30
Abstract: The invention provides a method for communicating the 
need to move a mobile robot, such as an AGV¹, from one 
location (node) (2,4,6-10) to another, on a node-by-node 
basis, incrementally, among the nodes established in a 
physical environment such as a factory. The invention also 
provides the means to generate the commands necessary to 
accomplish this motion, by providing specific steering and 
drive information such as angle and speed to the mobile robot 
or AGV¹. The invention accomplishes these tasks in response 
to direct commands from a stationary controller as well as in 
response to continuous node-by-node position updates provided 
by an external navigation system, such as a visual navigation 
system, or an internal dead-reckoning navigation system, or 
both.
Patent EP-0375438-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1989-12-21
Abstract: This invention relates to polypeptides that are 
human somatomedin carrier protein subunits and to processes 
for producing them. The carrier protein subunits bind to 
human somatomedin-like polypeptides, also known as insulin-like 
growth factors. The process involves preparation from 
a human serum fraction, Cohn IV-1, by a molecule of various 
chromatographic steps.  
     This invention also relates to DNA molecules 
encoding human somatomedin carrier protein-like 
polypeptides, recombinant DNA molecules, hosts, processes 
for producing carrier protein-like polypeptides, human 
somatomedin carrier protein-like polypeptides produced using 
those molecules, hosts and processes. The invention relates 
to DNA molecules and their expression in appropriate hosts. 
The recombinant DNA molecules contain DNA molecules that 
code for polypeptides which have a biological activity of 
the human carrier protein or a human carrier protein subunit 
capable of binding somatomedins. The DNA molecules, 
recombinant DNA molecules, hosts, and processes of this 
invention may be used in the production of polypeptides 
useful in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic, and other 
useful applications.

Title: Method of low defect junction and isolation formation in semiconductor material
IPC: H01L21/265
Filed: 1990-03-08
Abstract: A method of forming in a semiconductor material a region 
having a different chemical composition or a different 
concentration than a chemical composition or 
concentration of material surrounding the region. The 
method includes an initial step of providing a 
substantially single crystalline body of material, such 
as an epitaxial layer 10 of HgCdTe. Another step forms a 
cap layer 12 over a surface of the body, the layer having 
a thickness T. The cap layer 12 is comprised of a layer 
of polycrystalline material, such as CdTe, or is 
comprised of a layer of an organic material, an amorphous 
dielectric or a single-crystalline layer. A further step 
implants a selected chemical species through an upper 
surface of the cap, the species being implanted to a 
depth such that substantially no implant damage is 
sustained by the underlying body. In p-n junction 
formation the species is selected to form a region having 
an opposite type of electrical conductivity than the 
conductivity of the layer 10. A further step diffuses 
during a thermal anneal the implanted species from the 
cap layer down into the underlying layer to form a region 
therein having a different chemical composition or 
concentration than the chemical composition or 
concentration of the material surrounding the region. The 
method is also shown to be suitable for bipolar and JFET 
transistor fabrication in Group II-VI and Group III-V 
materials.

Title: Low shear phase-inversion process and products thereof
IPC: A23C15/16
Filed: 1990-04-19
Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a 
reduced fat butter which is butter-like without being 
cheese-spread like. In particular, the invention aims 
to provide a 55-65% butter-fat based spread with a 
butter-like texture using a simple process of low shear 
inversion. The additional problems faced include 
avoiding the high levels of caseinate previously found 
necessary for inversion and avoiding the costly 16 hr 
ripening step previously required.  
     A reduced fat butter which has a good butter-like 
texture by inversion of a concentrated cream in the form 
of a partially crystallised viscous paste. In 
particular, by phase inversion under conditions of low 
shear of a cream comprising from 55-65%wt butterfat and 
35-45%wt of a gelled or thickened aqueous phase, wherein 
the cream is in the form of a partially crystallised 
viscous paste and wherein the C value of said paste at 
20°C lies between 50 and 1500. Suitable aqueous phase 
thickeners are gelatine and caseinates. The viscosity 
of the aqueous phase should be such that at 20°C less 
than 20 ml of a 100 ml sample of the paste is discharged 
from a Ford viscosity cup type FB 11 having a fixed 
stainless steel nozzle (no 4.) in 2.5 minutes.

Patent EP-0397381-A3 (EP)
Title: Projection type display unit using liquid crystal display devices
IPC: H04N9/31
Filed: 1990-05-02
Abstract: In a projection type display unit in which three 
liquid crystal devices are provided for R, G and B lights, 
a correction circuit is disposed in each liquid crystal 
display device in order to achieve color balance. In 
conventional apparatus a different correction must be made 
to each liquid crystal display device and therefore one 
and the same correction circuit cannot be used. By 
providing a means such as a filter that makes the 
luminance of a light beam vary in the front or rear of 
liquid crystal devices after a white light is divided into 
R, G and B lights, the correction for each liquid crystal 
display device is made uniform and the use of one and the 
same correction circuit is made possible. As a result, 
the construction of the unit is simplified and an 
excellent color balance is obtained.

Patent EP-0465932-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for indication of natural gas potential in sedimentary basins and oil potential resulting therefrom
IPC: G01V9/00
Filed: 1991-06-26
Abstract: Gaseous hydrocarbons, which are thermocatalytically stripped from natural gas/petroleum parent rocks in subsiding sediment basins or which penetrate the seal of natural gas/petroleum deposits, reach the earth's surface in trace concentration within a geologically short time. The transported hydrocarbon gases transfer information about the hydrocarbon potential, the organic facies and the stage of maturity of the stripping parent rock or about the characteristics of a deposit to the surface. According to the invention, this circumstance is utilised for making statements regarding the prospectivity of the underlying rock by means of measurements at the surface. The molecular and isotopic composition of the trace gases is measured and, allowing for the changes caused by the transport, the abovementioned information about the natural gas-/petroleum-geological state in the underlying rock is derived therefrom. The isotopic changes in the methane during the migration to the surface are quantified. The relationship of the original gas parameters, reconstructed in this way, from parent rock and deposit up to their present geological state and potential - that is to say the prospectivity - of the basin is derived. This makes it possible to provide, before drilling, data about the hydrocarbon potential which is available for filling a certain structure or regionally in a sediment basin, and about lateral changes thereof. Under special geological conditions, the existence of a deposit in the underlying rock can be directly proved, and lateral changes in the effectiveness of stripping can be recognised. Application of the method is therefore suitable for a considerable reduction in the risk of development prospects for crude oil and natural gas.

Title: Communication system with a central control using a multiprocessor system to which a tracer is connectable for test and diagnostic operations
IPC: G06F11/22
Filed: 1991-09-06
Abstract: Tracer systems are used for fault analysis; they are connected to the systems to be investigated and record the processes occurring there. From the recorded data, the fault sources which have occurred can be located. The complexity of large systems, as represented by communication systems, also requires additional complexity in the tracer systems to be connected since tracer systems of the conventional type do not take into consideration multiprocessor-specific features. An active capability of intervening in the processor run of a multiprocessor system and a communication at symbolic level between the multiprocessor system and the tracer system provide a remedy in this case. <IMAGE>
