Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de migration d'un processus informatique entre un premier hôte et un second hôte. Avant la migration, le processus élimine les données, le code de programme et les états d'exécution propres au premier hôte. Après la migration, le processus reçoit les données, le code de programme et les états d'exécution propres au second hôte. Ce résultat est obtenu par l'établissement d'une configuration qui présente un processus constituant un sous-ensemble propre au processus informatique à tranférer, en termes d'application, et par l'assimilation dans ce sous-processus, à l'intérieur du nouvel hôte, d'un processus propre au nouvel hôte, en termes de système. Une variante consiste éventuellement à assurer la migration du processus intact, y compris l'information propre au premier hôte, puis à rejeter cette information après la migration, avant ou après l'assimilation propre au second hôte.

Patent EP-1104025-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUMOTO HIDEO
IPC: H01L25/07
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: A semiconductor device including (a) a base plate, (b) an insulation
substrate that consists of an insulator plate with a front electrode and a back
electrode bonded thereon and is fixed onto the base plate via the back electrode,
(c) a semiconductor element fastened onto the insulation substrate via the front
electrode, (d) an insulating cover that covers the semiconductor element and (e)
electrodes that are led from the semiconductor element to the outside of the
insulating cover. The back electrode is larger than the insulator plate, the base
plate has a through hole that is smaller than the back electrode and larger than the
insulator plate. The insulation substrate is positioned in the through hole and is
fastened onto the back surface of the base plate via the periphery of the back
electrode. Since the insulation substrate makes direct contact with the heat sink
without the base plate intervening therebetween, thermal resistance between the
semiconductor element and the heat sink is decreased. 
     Also since bending stress to be generated in the insulator plate when
fastening the heat sink onto the base plate by screwing is mitigated by the back
electrode, dielectric breakdown in the semiconductor device due to cracks in the
insulator plate can be restrained from taking place.

IPC: B41F33/00
Filed: 1999-04-27
Abstract: A device is disclosed for measuring the stickiness of a flowable medium, in particular a printing ink, which is led as a layer between two surfaces that can be moved in the same direction, through a convergence zone, a pressure zone and a divergence zone; it being possible to use a measuring device to measure, as a measure of the stickiness, that force which is needed to separate the surfaces from each other. At least one surface is led on a circularly cylindrical path. The two surfaces are driven positively in the same direction and at the same speed. The surfaces contain, at least in some sections, those materials of which the surfaces which are assigned to each other during the processing of the medium to be tested in intended devices, such as printing machines, are composed. At least one of the two surfaces used to transfer the measured value is arranged on a supporting body directly or via a measured-value transmitter, having at least one area of set extensibility and is connected to measuring devices for establishing the magnitude and the direction of that force with which the surface is lifted off the supporting body, extending the extensible area, during the separation or splitting of the layer adhering to the surface. The measuring devices can be moved synchronously together with the moving surface.

Abstract: Utilisation d'inhibiteurs du canal KQT1 pour la préparation d'un médicament destiné à traiter des maladies provoquées par des helminthes et des ectoparasites. Les inhibiteurs du canal KQT1 constituent un nouveau principe actif létal pour les helminthes et les ectoparasites. C'est pourquoi des agents bloquants du canal KQT1 cellulaire présent dans les helminthes et les ectoparasites sont utilisés pour préparer un médicament pour le traitement des mammifères et des êtres humains qui sont infestés par des helminthes ou des ectoparasites. Ces agents bloquants de KQT1 sont utilisés comme médicament, seuls ou en combinaison avec d'autres médicaments et d'autres actes thérapeutiques. Les inhibiteurs du canal KQT1 constituent également un nouveau mécanisme d'action contre des parasites des végétaux tels qu'insectes, arachnides, mollusques et nématodes, et ils sont par conséquent utilisés pour la préparation d'un produit phytosanitaire.

Title: Therapeutic anti-fungal nail preparation
Inventor: REEVES STANLEY FORREST
IPC: A61K31/415
Filed: 1999-11-15
Abstract: A therapeutic solution and application procedure for curing Nail fungus infections or Onychomycosis comprising a combination of an anti-fungal agent with DMSO in a anhydrous solution of Polyglycol, and including a secondary anti-inflammatory agent. The DMSO acts as a delivery vehicle so that active anti-fungal agents such as Miconazole in combination with an anti-inflammatory compound such as ibuprofen can be delivered directly to fungal infected areas under and around the nail. The DMSO, Miconazole, and ibuprofen are dissolved in a viscous solution of Polyglycol so that the combined ingredients may be applied directly to the affected nails with superior penetration. The therapeutic solution is formulated by dissolving the Miconazole into the Polyglycol over heat and adding the ibuprofen and DMSO over additional heat in a timed process. Repeated applications of the resulting solution on Onychomycosis infected nails over one 4-6 week period yields satisfactory result rates as high as 85-90% without augmenting the therapy with systemic drugs. Most versions of the therapeutic solution are anticipated to not require a prescription.
