Abstract: A method and device by which the yield of a thin plate-like substrate of a semiconductor integrated circuit, liquid crystal panel, etc., is improved by always transferring the substrate to each processing device in a highly clean damage-free state when the substrate is subjected to various kinds of treatment. A substrate is transferred through a gas tunnel through which a purging gas composed of in insert gas or a mixed gas of an inert gas and oxygen gas is made to flow. The concentrations of impurities in the gas tunnel are measured with a semiconductor laser detector, and the transfer of the substrate is controlled based on the obtained measured data.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a slow-release excipient consisting mainly of cross-linked amylose in the form of solid particles, for use in the preparation of tablets or pellets. A starch containing a high amount of amylose (high amylose starch) is first subjected to a gelatinization. The gelatinized high amylose starch is then cross-linked with 1 to 5 g of a cross-linking agent per 100 g of dry-based gelatinized high amylose starch in an alkali medium, thereby forming a reaction medium containing a reaction product consisting of a cross-linked high amylose starch slurry. The obtained reaction medium is neutralized, thereby forming by-products mainly consisting of salts, which are removed from the reaction medium. The recovered cross-linked high amylose starch slurry is then subjected to a thermal treatment at a temperature of at least 60 DEG  C. and the thermally treated product is dried to obtain the requested slow release excipient. This process is economical and industrially advantageous since it is carried out in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: The plant has a generator for a refrigerant in rich solution. A condenser is connected downstream of the generator in the refrigerant loop. A first expansion valve is connected downstream of the condenser. The refrigerant vapor produced there is directed into the sump of an absorber. The liquid refrigerant passes from the first expansion valve to a second expansion valve which adjoins an evaporator. Arranged in the absorber is a jet apparatus, whose nozzle is fed with the weak solution from the generator and whose suction space is connected to the evaporator. The weak solution therefore draws the refrigerant vapor out of the evaporator and delivers it into the top region of the absorber. There, a deflection takes place, whereupon the solution that is increasing in concentration is directed over cooling coils and passes into the sump of the absorber. In this way, very effective droplet, film, trickling and immersion absorption occurs.

Abstract: Multiplexeur qui multiplexe des paquets avec une cellule ATM avant l'émission et qui utilise efficacement une ligne de transmission s'adaptant à des caractéristiques de trafic irrégulier de services caractérisés par différents niveaux de qualité dans un environnement constant. Quand l'établissement d'une liaison est demandé (402), les bandes actuellement nécessaires B1... Bm sont modifiées, de façon à donner B'1... B'm, par l'ajout d'une nouvelle connexion et les bandes X1... Xm auxquelles la ligne de transmission a été affectée sont susceptibles d'être modifiées. Si la bande nécessaire à la connexion demandée est plus étroite qu'une bande disponible sur la ligne de transmission, une procédure de modification de bande affectée est déclenchée (406) et la bande ainsi modifiée est affectée en fonction de la bande nécessaire après modification. On modifie l'affectation de la bande en faisant varier la cadence à laquelle on extrait les paquets du tampon pour les stocker dans le multiplexeur.

Abstract: An immunoassay, e.g. ELISA, method and kit for determining (preferably quantitatively) an analyte adsorbed at a surface or present in a liquid sample, comprising binding said analyte to a solid phase, attaching a marker to the analyte, and detecting marker attached to said solid-phase. The invention proposes to use a combination of marker and detection means (e.g. an enzyme-substrate combination) which is capable of producing a precipitate on solid phase which carries the marker and to detect the binding of analyte to the solid phase by determining the change of surface mass of said solid phase due to the formation of said precipitate. Ellipsometry is an example of a technique suitable for determining the change of surface mass of the solid phase, which could be made of a silicon or chromium-sputtered glass slide. The invention shortens the assay time and/or improves the assay sensitivity, and allows to measure extremely low surface concentrations of analytes of interest.

Abstract: Un interrupteur à semi-conducteur tel qu'un transistor NPN (T) ou une diode commutatrice (D) comporte une première région (1) comprenant plusieurs zones, d'un type de conductivité donné, formant une jonction p-n (12) commutable avec une deuxième région (2), du type de conductivité opposé. Selon l'invention, la première région (1) est partagée en trois zones distinctes, soit: une zone faiblement dopée (23), une zone fortement dopée (25) et une zone intermédiaire (24) additionnelle. La zone faiblement dopée (23) comporte un corps semi-conducteur (11) à concentration de dopage de type p (P-) sensiblement uniforme formant avec la deuxième région (2) une jonction p-n. La zone (24) additionnelle distincte est située entre la zone faiblement dopée (23), et la zone fortement dopée (25). Ce partage de la région (1) en trois zones améliore la commutation pour ce qui est du temps d'extinction et de la dissipation d'énergie lors de la coupure du dispositif (T, D). On peut par ailleurs doper (P-) très faiblement la zone faiblement dopée (23), ce qui la vide entièrement ainsi que la zone additionnelle (24) à l'état coupé du dispositif (T, D). La zone additionnelle (24) du fait de son dopage additionnel constitue une voie d'extraction des porteurs de charge résiduels de la zone faiblement dopée (23) lors de la coupure du dispositif (T, D).

Abstract: System and method for verifying the integrity of contents within a computer file. A security value S is stored within the file. A verification function f is applied against the entire contents of the file including S, where f is a function of S. Results R of the applying step are compared against a preselected value r, where r is not stored within the file. When R equals r, a determination is made that the file has not been modified. f is typically a distributive invertible function such as the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function known as modulo p, where p is a prime number and is one bit greater than the length of S. Typically, the value of r is zero. Before executing the verification function f, a check generating program is first executed. This check generating program is executed by a computer that is remote from the file, further enhancing the security of the system.

Abstract: A panel structure mountable in a vehicle to form a part of the interior thereof, and a process for making the same. According to this process, an outer layer defining at least a portion of the exposed exterior surface of the structure is prepared by applying a water-dispersed thermoplastic polyurethane composition and a light-stable, blocked, heat-activated diisocyanate onto a mold surface and thereafter drying the composition. Next, a rapidly reacting composition is sprayed onto an inner surface of the outer layer while the outer layer is retained on the mold surface to form a polyurethane elastomer inner layer that is interfacially chemical bonded to the outer layer. The inner layer with the outer layer interfacially chemically bonded thereto is then united with the reinforcing substrate so that the reinforcing substrate serves to reinforce the outer layer. The exposed exterior surface of the panel structure simulates the appearance and feel of authentic leather, while the inner layer and an optional semi-rigid polyurethane cellular foam intermediate layer provide a compressing feel to the exposed portion of the outer layer.
