Patent EP-0828863-B1 (EP)
Inventor: KEENER STEVEN G
IPC: C22F1/053

Abstract: An aluminum-alloy article such as a fastener or rivet (40) is prepared by providing an aluminum-alloy article precursor that is not in its final heat-treated state, and in one form is in its solution treated/annealed state. A curable organic coating material is also provided. The method includes anodizing the article precursor, preferably in chromic acid solution and without chemical sealing during anodizing, applying the organic coating material to the aluminum-alloy article precursor, and precipitation heat-treating the coated aluminum article precursor to its final heat-treated state, thereby simultaneously curing the organic coating. If the aluminum alloy temper is of the naturally aging type, it is optionally lightly deformed prior to precipitation treatment aging. The approach may also be applied to articles that are not solution treated/annealed and aged, by first overly deforming the article precursor so that the curing treatment of the coating also partially anneals the article precursor to the final desired deformation state.

Abstract: A trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate using a mask. The trench is filled with electrode material, a part of which is removed; alternatively, the trench is partially filled with the electrode material. The side walls of the trench are doped with the mask still in place. After the side walls are doped, the remainder of the trench is filled. The result is a trench gated power device such as a MOSFET, MESFET or IGBT.

Granted: 1999-10-13
Abstract: A low supply voltage negative charge pump for generating a relatively high negative voltage to control gates of selected memory cells via wordlines in an array of flash EEPROM memory cells during flash erasure includes charge pump means (210) formed of a plurality of charge pump stages (201-206) and coupling capacitor means (C201-C212) for delivering clock signals to the plurality of charge pump stages. Each of the plurality of charge pump stages is formed of an N-channel intrinsic pass transistor (N1-N6), an N-channel intrinsic initialization transistor (MD1-MD6), and an N-channel intrinsic precharge transistor (MX3-MX7, MX1) which are disposed in separate p-wells so as to reduce body effect. As a result, the negative charge pump is operable using a supply voltage of +3 volts or lower.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of testing for compounds which may induce STF-1 transcription. Pancreatic islet cells which express the STF-1/lacz fusion gene are isolated and the effect of various compounds on STF-1 expression is measured by adding the compound of interest to STF-1/lacZ expressing cells. LacZ activity in control and treated cells is then quantitated by a colorimetric assay. Using this method, a large number of compounds can be screened and STF-1 inducing compounds can be identified readily. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method of using the STF-1 promoter to mark insulin producing pancreatic islet cells in vivo. In this regard, the green fluorescent protein (GFP) served as an indicator. The introduction of the STF-1 green fluorescent protein transgene into pigs allows for the efficient and rapid recovery of insulin producing cells from the pancreas.

Abstract: Flexible probing elements (4.1, . . . , 4.6) with different diameters are guided into an interdental space for determining a proximal allowance of the interdental space. The proximal allowance is determined according to the parameter values that correspond to the probing element that just barely fits through the interdental space. The probing elements (4.1, . . . , 4.6) can be realized on a probing tip (3) with a diameter that changes continuously or in a stepwise manner. The determination of the proximal allowance makes possible for an adviser to determine in an exact and reproducible manner the optimum interdental brush for the user.

Abstract: An inflatable cuff used as an artificial sphincter may be used in either of two different ways. The first embodiment involves the cuff encircling the urethra for maintaining pressure on it to occlude it except when voiding the bladder. The second embodiment involves placing a one-way valve in the urethra which is encircled by the inflatable cuff such that the cuff is only inflated when it is desired to void the bladder by opening the valve in the urethra through pressure being applied to the exterior of the valve body. In each embodiment a syringe-type pump bulb is used which is connected to a one-way valve in turn connected to a tube to the inflatable cuff. The bulb side wall has sufficient memory to cause it to return to its normal expanded condition which causes the suction of fluid from the cuff when the manually operated valve is actuated. Fluid pumped to the cuff through the valve causes a positive pressure on the cuff side of the valve blade elements and a negative pressure on the bulb side which combine to assist in maintaining the valve in a sealed closed condition.
