Patent EP-0561079-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IIDA TETSUYA
IPC: G03F7/023
Filed: 1992-11-23
Abstract: A photoresist adapted for manufacture of an optical disc original comprises a photosensitive material and a base resin, in which a molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight M w  / number average molecular weight M n ) in the base resin has a value less than 5.8, preferably less than 5.0. The photosensitive agent has an esterification ratio of more than 80% and preferably more than 90%. The base resin is composed of a cresol novolak resin and the photosensitive agent is a reactant formed by reacting a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazido-5-sulfonylchloride to a nonbenzophenon series ballast compound having 30 to 40 weight parts with respect to the cresol novolak resin of 100 weight parts. An optical disc is prepared by the steps of coating a positive-type photoresist on a glass substrate (100) to form a resist film, forming a pit pattern through a light exposure to the resist film, developing the resist film after the light exposure to form a resist original, effecting a plating treatment to the resist original to form a stamper(104) by an electrocasting treatment, forming a replica disc through an injection molding process by utilizing the stamper (104), forming a reflection film on the replica disc, and forming an overcoat layer on the reflection film.

Abstract: The method makes it possible to produce a new embroidery design pattern from an existing design pattern. It comprises the steps of:
     (a) providing stitch data corresponding to a predetermined stitch pattern composed of a number of stitches, stitch points each having an associated stitch vector in the pattern, and control codes;   (b) analyzing the stitch data for the control codes, determining an angle formed at each of the stitch points from the associated stitch vectors in the stitch pattern, and defining a stitch run based on a commonality of the angles over several of the stitches;   (c) selecting a number of outline points from the angles and the stitch points in the defined runs to form an outline of the stitch pattern over the stitch run; and   (d) editing the predetermined stitch pattern within the outline to produce a new embroidery design pattern.   
     The invention may be used for converting low-level stitch-by-stitch numerical control code embroidery design programs into an outline format, which can be edited and modified and then converted back to the above codes, or to a condensed data format.

Title: Split alkali addition for high consistency oxygen delignification.
Inventor: TERRETT STUART T
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1992-01-02
Abstract: Unbleached pulp is combined with an aqueous alkaline solution while in a state of low consistency to distribute a first amount of alkaline material substantially uniformly throughout the pulp. The consistency of the pulp is then increased to above about 20%. Additional alkali is applied onto the high consistency pulp to provide a total amount of between 0.8 and 7% by weight of oven dry pulp. The high consistency alkali containing pulp is then treated with oxygen to effect delignification. High strength, low lignin pulps are formed which may be further bleached to high brightness with reduced amounts of chemicals by following the methods of the invention.

Abstract: An ablation electrode carries a temperature sensing element for measuring the temperature of the tissue being ablated. A thermal insulating element associated with the sensing element blocks the transfer of heat energy from between the temperature sensing element and the body. The temperature sensing element therefore measures temperature without being affected by the surrounding thermal mass of the electrode.

Abstract: In a combustion-powered, fastener-driving tool (10), a cylinder body (30) mounted fixedly within a housing structure (12) has a combustion chamber (70) defining an axis. A valve sleeve (62) functions to open and close the combustion chamber (70). A piston (40) operative within the combustion chamber (70) and a driving blade (42) moveable with the piston (40) function to drive a fastener (N) into a workpiece (W). An improved linkage for moving the valve sleeve (62) includes a workpiece-contacting (82) element and a pair of arms (100) attached to such element and disposed alongside the cylinder body (30) and the nosepiece (50).

Filed: 1993-05-08
Abstract: With new generation PAY TV systems using a control access system based on smart card (25) processing, the PAY TV decoder (26) has lost its identity. This means that all the data are addressed to a given address which belongs to the smart card and not to the decoder. These systems offer a detachable control access but loose the geographical information. 
The invention gives a flexible solution in order to carry data for control access based on both, smart card and decoder, for PAY TV systems on PAL, SECAM and NTSC. The information, such as listed below, is down loaded via the transmission channel:
     specific channel allocation table;   data related to the VTR of the customer;   messages related to a geographic location.    To carry the data the invention uses two sets of n video lines which represent two data channels. Each data packet on this channels contains two types of information: descriptor data and application data. In a receiver the data are extracted from the video lines by a data dispatcher (22). After receiving a packet from one data channel the data dispatcher analyses the descriptor data which contain information describing the target. The data dispatcher transmits the application data contained in the packet without analysing them to the correct processor unit: either control access processor (23) or decoder intelligent processor (26).

Abstract: In a five-axis machine tool, the tool carrier (4) is pivotable about a pivot axis (7) which intersects a machining axis (5), around which a cutting tool (6) can be rotated, at an acute angle in the area of the latter. This angle of inclination is preferably between 30 DEG and 60 DEG , in particular around 45 DEG . Consequently, only slight compensating movements distributed over all axes are required during pivoting movements, yet the tool carrier (4) can be kept short so that deformations of the same remain small, which ensures high stability and permits great accuracy. In addition, large pivoting angles of 90 DEG  or more on both sides are possible without collision problems, which permits a large degree of adaptation of the position of the cutting edge to the workpiece surface and consequently high surface quality. Machine tools of the type described are especially suitable for milling turbine and power-plant blades as well as compressor impellers. <IMAGE>
