Patent EP-0816531-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ISHII TOSHIO
IPC: C23C16/36
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: An alumina coated tool comprising a plurality of refractory
layers and a substrate body. The refractory layers comprise a non-oxide
layer on the surface of the substrate body, a bonding layer
having a face-centered-cubic structure on the non-oxide layer, and an
oxide layer on the bonding layer. The non-oxide layer is at least one
of carbide, nitride and carbonitride of a metal selected from the group
consisting of the Groups IVa, Va and VIa of the Periodic Table. The
bonding layer is a single- or multi-coating of oxide, oxycarbide,
oxynitride, oxycarbonitride of a metal selected from the group
consisting of the Groups IVa, Va and VIa of the Periodic Table. The
oxide layer is substantially α-Al 2 O 3 . The epitaxial relationship
between the non-oxide layer and the bonding layer enhances the
bonding strength of the oxide layer to provide an alumina coated tool
resistant to flaking of the oxide layer.

Abstract: 4-Hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone which is useful as a raw
material of drugs can be produced rapidly and highly selectively
in a high yield from an optically active or recemic 4-amino-3-hydroxybutylic
acid derivative or a 4-azido-3-hydroxybutyric
acid derivative by adding a base catalyst to
the reaction system. 4-Hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone having a high
optical purity can be obtained by carrying out
recrystallization of optically active 4-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone
without using a poor solvent.

Abstract: A system for dispensing individual sheet material segments from a
roll (26) of sheet material in which the sheet material is separated
into individual segments by perforated tear lines. The sheet material
roll (26) is continually positioned on support rollers (42) with the

Abstract: The method involves restricting the phase (psi(n)) of a set of samples to the interval defined by (-pi,+pi). In order to eliminate modulation, a calculation is performed to determine a sequence theta(n) which is equal to mod(psi(n),2pi/M) where mod(psi(n),2pi/M) is obtained by adding or subtracting 2pi/M until the value obtained lies within the interval (pi/M,+pi/M). A second calculation is performed to determine a sequence d(n) which is equal to mod(theta(n)-theta(n-1),2pi/M) and a third calculation is performed to determine p"(n) which is equal to mod(d(n)+p(n-1),2pi/M) where p(n)=mod(p'(n)-p(n-1)). A reliability parameter (tri) is defined as equal to 1*si mod(d'(n) less than S and beta si mod(d'(n)) greater than or equal to S. Beta is a real number less than 1 and S is a predetermined threshold. A set tri(n)-alpha*p"(n)*tri is determined where alpha is a real number less than 1. A set of values dettri(n) forms the output current which represents the carrier frequency error.

Abstract: La sensiblité aux infections par le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) dépend de l'expression sur la surface de cellules de la molécule humaine CD4 et du facteur humain accessoire de fusion associé à l'infection par le VIH (CXCR4). CXCR4 est un membre de la superfamille des 7 segments transmembranaires des molécules de surface cellulaire couplées à la protéine G. CXCR4 joue un rôle essentiel dans l'étape de fusion membranaire dans l'infection par le VIH. La création de lignées cellulaires stables, non humaines et l'obtention de mammifères transgéniques ayant des cellules exprimant les CD4 et CXCR4 humaines fournit des outils précieux pour des recherches incessantes sur les infections par le VIH et sur la mise au point d'agents thérapeutiques anti-VIH plus performants. En plus, les anticorps contre CXCR4, les fragments polypetidiques isolés et purifiés de CXCR4 et les agents biologiques fixant la CXCR4 et capables de bloquer la fusion membrannaire entre le VIH et les cellules cibles, constituent des agents thérapeutiques anti-VIH potentiels
