Abstract: This chip card (2) reader and recorder (1) is interposed in series between the keyboard (4) and the screen console (5) of a computer terminal. It takes the place of the keyboard (4) in the context of the execution, by the computer, of a programme for acquisition, by the keyboard (4), of data intended to pass details to information grids displayed on the screen (5) as soon as these data appear in a chip card (2). In order to do this, it is normally transparent to the messages sent by the keyboard (4) to the screen console (5) except when it recognises one or more specific commands which it executes. On command it then sends data originating from the chip card (2) to the screen console (5), by simulating the keyboard (4). Its advantage resides in the fact that it does not need modification of the terminal or executed programmes except for its connection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The process starts by reacting 2,3,5 trimethylpyridine with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalysts, giving new reactive ionic species allowing the number of required steps to be substantially reduced. In the final important step, oxidation to omeprazol, there are used new salts of 5-methoxy-2-((3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy-2-pyridine)methylthio)-1H-benzimidazole which, as the oxidation evolves, precipitate the omeprazol. The new oxidation method avoids superoxidations, provide for faster oxidation, high purity and yields of over 90%.

Abstract: An elemental or alloyed metal melt (14) flowing out of a crucible (10) into an atomising device is atomised by at least one gas flow (28) directed at the metal flowing out. A finely divided reaction mixture is produced by simultaneously adding a high-melting-point solid (22) added in powder form to the mixing zone (32) formed as a spraying zone. The material sprayed by the gas flow essentially forms a conical atomisation jet (34) which is fed in the direction of a deposition surface (36) while being partly reacted. The temperature of the metal melt (16) flowing out of a nozzle (12) and the gas/metal flow ratio of an inert gas (28) fed under high pressure are controlled by producing and maintaining an exothermic reaction as a result of compound formation between the added powder (22) and the partially liquid melt drops of the atomised metal melt (16). The process is used to produce an intermetallic compound from a low-melting-point matrix metal (14) and a high-melting-point powder (22). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Peptides which inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and inhibit the release of steroids by the gonads. Administration of an effective amount of such GnRH antagonists prevents ovulation of female mammalian eggs and/or the release of steroids by the gonads. These peptides may be used to treat steroid-dependent tumors, such as prostatic and mammary tumors. The peptides include cyclic, bicyclic and tricyclic analogs of the decapeptide GnRH, and preferably there are at least two covalent bonds between the residues in the 4- and 10-positions, the residues in the 5- and 8-positions and the residues in the 1- and 3-positions, respectively. Examples of such bonds include a disulfide linkage between Cys residues, an amide linkage between a side chain amino group and a side chain carboyxl group, a dicarba linkage between side-chain alkyl groups, and a carba linkage between a side-chain alkyl group and a side-chain sulfhydryl group.

Abstract: L'ensemble (10) comprend une première tête d'écriture (12) adjacente à une tête de lecture (14), adjacente à une seconde tête d'écriture (16). Les trois têtes sont en ligne. La tête de lecture centrale comporte des fentes (40, 42) des deux côtés de sa région de transduction (28) destinées à racler l'air et les débris entraînés de la bande. Chaque tête d'écriture ne comporte qu'une seule fente (44, 46) destinée à effectuer un raclage, située à l'extérieur de l'espace transductique d'écriture. Lors de la lecture et de l'écriture simultanées se déroulant pendant un fonctionnement bidirectionnel, l'action de raclage a lieu avant que la bande n'atteigne l'espace transductique d'écriture actif. Après que la bande soit passée sur la tête d'écriture et sur la tête de lecture, elle approche, dans une courbe douce, une partie dépourvue de fente de la seconde tête d'écriture, et l'air entraîné provoque le décollement de la bande sans qu'elle ne vienne au contact de la surface d'écriture inactive.

Abstract: In the case of a metallic flat packing comprising a laminate of sheet-metal plates lying one on top of the other, such as in particular a cylinder head gasket for internal-combustion engines, having a cylinder head made of a light metal alloy and an engine block made of grey cast iron, the sheet-metal plates lying one on top of the other have different coefficients of thermal expansion, which decrease in stages from the coefficient of thermal expansion of the cylinder head to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the engine block. In this way, shifting movements acting on the packing are divided by differences in the thermal expansion of the components to be sealed into small movements which no longer cause the packings to be destroyed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Molten metal in an electric arc furnace is stirred by introducing a gas into the melt through tuyeres (5) mounted in the hearth (1). Each tuyere (5) has an inlet portion (6) having a passage (7) of relatively large diameter and an outlet portion (9) having a passage (8) of relatively small diameter. The tuyere (5) is mounted in the bottom of the electric arc furnace with the inlet portion (6) extending through the furnace shell (4) and part of the refractory brickwork (3). With this design of tuyere gas at conveniently available pressure (16 bar A) can be fed to the tuyere (5) and leaves the outlet portion (9) at least at sonic velocity thus forming a relatively stable jet which inhibits molten metal entering the tuyere (5). The outlet portion (9') may have a first portion (9' a ) with a slightly larger internal diameter than a second portion (9' b ) downstream of the first portion (9' a ). When the second portion (9' b ) is fully eroded the flow of gas increases and triggers an alarm. However, the internal diameter of the first portion (9' a ) is still at least sonic to inhibit the ingress of molten metal into the tuyere (5').

Abstract: A PLL is provided with a capture aid circuit (9) to pull the frequency of the oscillator (4) towards the frequency underlying a data signal HF in , comprising pulses having variable lengths, each length being an integer multitude of a basic length unit. The capture aid comprises a pulse length measuring circuit (13) for rounding the actually measured pulse length to the nearest integer number of basic length units, and for determining the difference (ΔRL) between actual and rounded value (RL). For small frequency deviations the rounding error (ΔRL) is used to increase or decrease the oscillator frequency. If the pulses have a minimum length larger than 1, the rounded pulse length signal (RL) is provided to a pulse length detector (16) for finding pulses with a length below this minimum pulse length, or to detect the absence of pulses with minimum length. From these signals further frequency deviation control signals are derived in the frequency deviation detector (18).
