Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing a coat (7) on a surface (6) from a liquid or viscous plastic material (8) which solidifies once the coat is formed (7). The invention is characterized in that it consists in introducing the plastic material (8) in liquid or viscous form in a variable volume reservoir (2) whereof at least part of the inner wall is defined by a portion of said surface (6); the reservoir (2) and the surface (6) are moved relatively to each other while simultaneously decreasing the volume of the reservoir (2) so as to compress the plastic material (8) and cause it to flow through a passage (9) connecting two surface portions arranged respectively inside and outside the reservoir (2), the flow rate of the plastic material (8) through the passage (9) being selected so as to form a coat (7) on one of said surface portions (6) whereof the thickness (e) is less than the height of said passage (E). The invention also concerns a device using said method as well as objects obtained by said method.

Abstract: A shaper (2) is arranged within a shaping vessel (1).
A raw material for a crystal is inserted into the shaping
vessel (1) and a crystal melt (5) is formed by setting it in
a predetermined atmosphere and heating it. A mechanical force
F1 is applied to the crystal melt (5), which is present on
the upper surface of the shaper (2), by a pressuring member
(4) from above. The crystal melt (5) has nowhere to escape
but a gap (3) formed by the shaper( 2), so it is injected
into that gap (3) as shown by the arrow. This method of
fabricating a shaped crystal is suitable for fabricating a
monocrystal or multicrystal semiconductor from a material
such as silicon, germanium, or bismuth telluride.

Abstract: The oven at the end, is symmetrical about the axis. The open end of the cup (4) faces the ion source and has a rod joined to the inner conductor at its outer base. The external conductor (6) is out of contact with the rod and reaches up almost to the cup base, forming the filament holder. A free-standing heating coil (2) surrounds the cup. This contacts the cup wall at one end and the end face of the external conductor (6) facing the cup at the other. The cup, attached inner conductor and external conductor, are made from electrically-conducting material which is dimensionally-stable at over 2000degreesC.  The heating coil is a tungsten alloy, introduced free of mechanical stress. At the highest operating temperature, it is dimensionally-stable, or at least cannot move into contact with other components. The rod is plugged detachably into a bush (10), being inserted to a given axially length and surrounded completely by it and equally-spaced spring contacts. The current supply (21) and lead through (16) of the thrust unit comprises an axial, alloy rod of good thermal- and electrical conductivity, which resists tension, compression and torsion.

Abstract: A fee accounting mechanism for reporting fees associated with the distribution and
use of digital works. Usage rights and fees are attached to digital works. The usage rights
define how the digital work may be used or further distributed. Usage fees are specified as
part of a usage right. The digital works and their usage rights and fees are stored in
repositories (201). The repositories control access to the digital works. Upon determination
that the exercise of a usage right requires a fee, the repository generates a fee reporting
transaction (302). Fee reporting is done to a credit server (301). The credit server collects the
fee information and periodically transmits it to a billing clearinghouse (303).

Abstract: A motor ( 25 ) has a rotatably supported rotor core ( 34 ) and permanent magnets ( 30 )
disposed at equal intervals at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction of the rotor
core. The rotor core ( 34 ) has projecting poles ( 57 ) formed at equal intervals at a center
between each permanent magnet ( 30 ). Furthermore, an opening angle center line of each
projecting pole ( 57 ) conforms to a center line of an angle created by each opening angle center
line of two adjacent permanent magnets ( 30 ). Additionally, each projecting pole is shaped
asymmetrical to a line connecting a center of the projecting pole in the rotational direction of
the rotor core and an axis center of the rotor core. A center in a density distribution of
magnetic flux which is generated in the projecting pole is shifted in a direction opposite the
rotational direction of the rotor. Therefore, the magnet torque can be sufficiently utilized,
thereby a motor can be downsized.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor (1) is constituted using magnetic sensor chips (2, 3)
mounted on stages (6, 7) supported by interconnecting members (12, 13) and a frame
(9) having leads (4) in a lead frame (10). Herein, the stages are inclined upon plastic
deformation of the interconnecting members. When the frame is held in a metal mold
and the stages are pressed, the interconnecting members are elastically deformed, so
that the magnetic sensor chips are bonded onto the stages placed substantially in the
same plane and are then wired with the leads (4). Thereafter, the stages are released
from pressure, so that the interconnecting members are restored from the elastically
deformed states thereof. When the magnetic sensor chips are combined together to
realize three sensing directions, it is possible to accurately measure three-dimensional
bearings of magnetism, and the magnetic sensor can be reduced in dimensions and
manufactured with a reduced cost therefor.

Title: Systeme d'elimination d'oxygene et de preconditionnement dans une pile a combustible

Abstract: L'invention concerne une pile à combustible, comprenant une anode, une cathode et une membrane échangeuse d'ions, alimentée en combustible sous forme d'hydrogène, par l'intermédiaire d'une conduite servant à alimenter l'anode en combustible. Une boucle de recirculation sert à recycler les gaz présents dans la conduite d'alimentation en combustible vers un point de mélange où un écoulement régulé de combustible est acheminé et mélangé. Toutes les espèces d'oxydants restant dans la conduite d'alimentation en combustible sont ainsi soumise à une combustion régulée, évitant que l'ensemble membrane-électrode de la pile à combustible soit endommagée. On peut délibérément introduire de faible quantités d'oxydant dans la conduite d'alimentation en combustible pour produire de la vapeur d'eau et de la chaleur afin de préconditionner le combustible délivré à l'anode. Ce préconditionnement facilite la régulation de l'hydratation de la membrane ainsi que la régulation de la température de l'ensemble membrane-électrode, permettant ainsi un fonctionnement optimal de la pile à combustible.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for treating cancer and other disease conditions in individuals who have either developed a resistance to conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy or who are non-responsive  ab initio  to conventional TKI therapy. In various embodiments, the methods include administering to a patient a resistance-surmounting quantity of a TKI on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. Alternate embodiments of the present invention include a diagnostic method for assessing an individual's probability of being resistant to TKI therapy, based upon an expression level of epithelial membrane protein-1 (EMP-1); one of the genes believed to be responsible for TKI resistance. The methods of the present invention may be particularly useful in the treatment of lung, breast, prostate, ovarian, brain and colon cancers. The methods of the present invention may be effective in blocking the HER-2 kinase domain either in addition to or in lieu of blocking the EGFR kinase domain.
