Abstract: An apparatus for fixing the longitudinal position of a shaft, e.g., a valve stem, within the bore (24) of a body (12), e.g., a valve body comprising a stem (36) having a plurality of peripherally extending, generally equally spaced, discrete grooves (50), the grooved portion (50) of the stem being received in the bore, a stop (54) being provided internally of the bore, a first washer (56) having an inwardly tapered abutment surface (60) engaging the stop, a split ring (58) received on the stem and engaging the inwardly tapered abutment surface, the apparatus further including a gland assembly (64, 66) including a second washer (62) for engagement with the first washer, the gland assembly urging the second washer against the first washer, the split ring being forced into engagement with the abutment surface and into a groove adjacent the abutment surface. The apparatus is particularly useful in fixing the position of the stem in a butterfly valve to prevent a longitudinal force acting on the valve stem from forcing the disk out of its centered disposition with respect to the valve seat.

Abstract: A high performance bipolar transistor structure is disclosed which exhibits an extremely low extrinsic base resistance (r  b ) by virtue of a silicide layer (26) which is included in the base contact portion of the structure. The silicide layer is situated to be electrically in parallel with the conventional heavily-doped polysilicon base contact region (24), where a vertical polysilicon runner (36ʹ) is used to provide a self-aligned electrical contact to the base. The parallel combination of the low resistivity (0.5-4 ohm/square) silicide with the polysilicon (sheet resistance of 10- 100 ohm/square) results in a low extrinsic base resistance on the order of 0.5-4 ohm/square. The disclosed device also includes a sub-micron emitter size, defined by vertical oxide sidewalls (40ʹ) above the base region (42), which furth er improves the high frequency performance of the device.

Abstract: A columnar core member (11) is fitted in a cylindrical outside lay­er member (12) and the resulting assembly is heated (20), and then the heated assembly is rolled by a rotary mill (4) provided with three or more cone type rolls (1, 2) to integrate the core member (11) and the outside layer member (12). 
     In order to prevent unnecessary substances, such as oxides, from being formed on an interface between the core member and the outside layer member, the assembly is tightly welded at both ends under reduced press­ure or under vacuum or the assembly is cold drawn, the as­sembly thus welded or cold drawn is then heated and subsequ­ently rolled by a rotary mill. Thus, an intermetallic com­pound layer formed between the core member and the outside layer member can be thinned, whereby improving bond strength.

Abstract: Method for analogue real-time spectral preselection, applicable to an artificial vision system equipping a robotic machine, for example intended for harvesting fruits and adapted for detecting fruits on trees, characterised in that use is made of the 3 synchronous video signals (V1, V2, V3) coming from 3 miniature cameras or microcameras (1, 2, 3) equipped with different filters and locked onto the same scene, and in that an analogue preselection module consisting of an appropriate electronic set-up extracts from these three signals a simplified (binary) image in which the fruits appear in black on a white background. This binary image is then analysed by a microprocessor-based processing module which looks for the black spots in the image, checks their geometrical properties (dimensions and contours) and indicates their coordinates (x, y) in the image to a main control computer which, via appropriate actuators, actuates the picking arm of the robotic harvesting machine (or other grasping member or work tool equipping the manipulator of the machine in the case of a robotic machine intended to accomplish other tasks). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disulfide bridged cyclic peptides are described which are preferably 13 to 20 amino acid residues in length and which include the endocyclic sequence cys-gly-arg-ile-asp-arg-ile. Peptides of this class are selective for and show picomolar-range affinity for the non-guanyl cyclase-coupled atrial peptide receptor. Affinity for this receptor is associated with potentiation of the mean arterial pressure response to atrial peptide and these peptides are therefore useful in control of hypertension. Peptides of most interest are of the formula wherein X" is the peptidic fragment ser-ser; wherein X 2  is a peptidic fragment selected from gly-ser-gly-leu, gly-ala-gly-leu and gly-leu; wherein X 3  is the peptidic fragment asn-ser-phe-arg; wherein m is zero or one, n is one and r is one; and wherein A represents an amino terminus or its pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, and B represents a carboxyl terminus or its pharmaceutically-acceptable ester, amide or salt.

Abstract: A dry etching method for refractory metal or its compound uses a mixed gas of an etchant gas for etching said refractory metal and a deposit gas for depositing said refractory metal. Halide of the etched refractory metal is used as the deposit gas. By using such a mixed gas, the refractory metal is etched at a portion where ion assist is strong, while the refractory metal is deposited at a portion where the ion assist is weak. In the dry etching, the ion (15) mostly hits the surface of the object facing against the anode (9) and hence the ion assist is strong, while the ion assist is weak at the side wall. Accordingly, the refractory metal is etched at the bottom surface (18) of an etched groove. but at the side wall of the groove the refractory metal is deposited. This deposited metal (19) protects the side wall from side etching. Therefore a fine pattern having a high aspect ratio etching is achieved.

Abstract: A fluid controller (15) is disclosed for controlling the flow of fluid to fluid pressure operated devices such as a vehicle steering cylinder (17). The controller is of the type including a valve spool (35) and a valve sleeve (37) in which the various ports, passages and fluid paths are non-symmetrical. Metered, pressurized fluid is communicated through axial slots (85) in the valve spool and is communicated through cylinder ports (73) for a right turn condition, or through cylinder ports (75) for a left turn condition. The right turn cylinder ports (73) are located further axially than are the left turn cylinder ports (75) from the end of the spool and sleeve which communicates with the return port. As a result, metered, pressurized fluid has a longer leakage path for a right turn than for a left turn. In accordance with the invention, the timing of the variable return flow control orifice (A5-R) is advanced, relative to the timing of the variable return flow control orifice (A5-L) to compensate for the unequal leakage paths in the right and left turn conditions, thereby substantially eliminating steering wheel precession.
