Patent EP-0868426-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LEBEL EDOUARD GUILLAUME
IPC: C07K14/415
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: The nucleic acid sequence of the full-length, chemically inducible Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter has been discovered and is disclosed herein. Furthermore, cis-acting regulatory elements in the Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter involved in chemical induction have been characterized using deletion and linker-scanning mutagenesis and in vivo footprinting. It has been discovered that at least a portion of the region of promoter between positions -698 and -621 (relative to the transcription start site of the PR-1 gene) is required for induction of gene expression by chemicals. Two 10-bp linker-scanning mutations centered at 640-bp and 610-bp upstream from the transcription start site abolish the inducibility of the promoter while another 10-bp mutation centered at -670 bp results in average induced expression levels 4-fold higher than the unmutated promoter. Additionally, inducible in vivo footprints are located at positions -629 and -628 and at position -604 on the coding strand and at position -641 on the non-coding strand. The use of chemically inducible Arabidopsis PR-1 promoter fragments to regulate gene expression in plants in the presence of inducing chemicals such as SA, INA, and BTH is disclosed, as well as the use of these elements for the isolation of transcriptional regulatory proteins involved in the promoter regulation and for the construction of inducible hybrid promoters.

Abstract: An adhesive device, featuring a target element, absorptive of electromagnetic waves, contiguous with a heat-activatable adhesive material, shaped into an article having a mathematically smooth perimeter, will facilitate a quick, neat, easy and secure assembly of associated component pieces or manufactured articles. Exposing the device to electromagnetic waves will produce heat energy which will activate the adhesive material and result in the bonding of the associated component pieces. This adhesive device is particularly beneficial when used within or between pieces to be assembled that are substantially transparent to electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: An end fitting for use in a remote control cable assembly of the type having a control cable that includes a conduit and a wire-like strand or core element. The end of the strand is typically attached to a slider rod that extends within a swivel tube. The swivel tube is supported within a swivel socket provided in the end fitting. The end fitting allows for easy rotation of the end fitting relative to the axis of the conduit without adding additional lash into the cable system from the rotating end fitting joint. The end fitting has two pieces, a molded sleeve and a rotating fitting. The molded sleeve is fastened directly onto and along the longitudinal axis of the conduit such that the molded sleeve is fixed against longitudinal movement relative said conduit end. The molded sleeve includes a partial spherical ball portion and a cylindrical portion. The rotating fitting is rotatably disposed about the molded sleeve and is used to attach the conduit end to a support structure. The rotating fitting includes a partial spherical cavity portion for receiving the spherical portion of the molded sleeve and a cylindrical cavity for receiving the cylindrical portion of the molded sleeve. The partial spherical ball portion of the molded sleeve and the partial spherical cavity portion of the rotating fitting mate together to form a partial spherical or annular snap fit.

Title: Method and device for treating a semiconductor surface
Inventor: BRIAND JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: H01L21/316
Filed: 1997-12-29
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for treating a surface (2) of a semiconductor (1B) and a corresponding treating device. The surface is made by first molecules of the semiconductor having external bonds saturated with hydrogen. The method consists in sending a beam (30)of ions highly charged and with low energy towards the surface, and applying thereto a deceleration voltage U2 in the proximity of the surface. In this way, the ions extract without making contact the electrons of the first molecules, releasing the hydrogen atoms saturating the corresponding external bonds. Then a product saturating the pendant external bonds is sent so as to form second molecules of an insulating compound. The invention is useful for surface cleaning, etching and nano-manufacturing.

Abstract: A process for releasably attaching a tool handle (22) to a tool head (24)
includes the steps of (1) inserting an end of the tool handle (22) into the tool head (24)
through a tool head aperture (48), (2) turning the end of the tool handle (22) relative to
the tool head (24) to engage a pair of lands (52) therein which prevent withdrawal of the
end of the tool handle (22) from the tool head (24), and (3) threading a nut (26) onto the tool
handle (22) so as to engage a portion of the tool head (24) adjacent to the aperture (48).
The process is accomplished by providing the handle (22) a connecting stud (30) at one
end thereof, wherein the connecting stud (30) includes a pair of oppositely
disposed flanges (40) which extend generally perpendicularly outwardly therefrom.
The tool head (24) has a central cavity (48) into which the connecting stud (30) is inserted
through the aperture (48). The pair of lands (52) are capable of selectively engaging
the connecting stud flanges (40) to prevent withdrawal of the connecting stud (30) from
the tool head (24). The nut (26) is threadable onto the connecting stud (30) and has a face
for engaging a portion of the tool head (24) adjacent to the aperture (48) to prevent
movement of the connecting stud (30) relative to the tool head (24) and to thereby
releasably secure the tool head (24) to the handle (22).

Abstract: A potty for toilet training has a base (1) with a hollow space (2), a
seat (20) with a big hole (21) in its middle and mounted on the base (1), and
receptacle (30) received in the hollow space (2). Child's condition detecting
circuit (100) detects a first condition when a child sits on the seat (20) and
begins to relieve himself or herself, and a second condition when he
or she rises from the seat (20). Responding to a result of the first
condition, a trigger signal generating circuit (110) generates a trigger signal (strig)
and stops generation of the trigger signal in response to a result of
the second condition. Responding to the trigger signal, a sound/melody
generating circuit (120) informs parents that their child begins to relieve
himself or herself, generates a natural sound to entertain him or her
during evacuation, informs the parents that their child has risen from
the seat after stool in response to the stop of the trigger signal (strig), and
generates a congratulatory melody or voice message. An aural sound
generating circuit (130) amplifies the sounds and message and converts
them into audible sounds through a speaker (13). The potty can provide
motivation for the child to go to stool by himself or herself.

Abstract: A valve arrangement is described that is especially suitable for use as a non-drip
valve associated with the base of the brewing chamber of a coffee-making appliance.
It comprises a carriage member (4) which carries a valve head (3) designed to be
removeable laterally from an aperture through which brewed coffee is intended to
flow, and a trigger member (8) that can move relative to the carriage member in a
predetermined manner under the constraint of a pin (7), carried by the trigger
member, running in substantially V-shaped slots (6; 15,16,17) formed in side walls
of the carriage member. Initially, the carriage member and the trigger member are
aligned, and urged resiliently apart, along the direction of lateral movement of the
valve head. In this position the valve is closed. When the brewing chamber is
properly closed, a nose part (14) formed on a fixed part of the appliance, engages
with the trigger member (8) and moves it relative to the carriage member,
misaligning the members and enabling the arrangement to adopt a primed
condition, in which the valve remains closed but the trigger member protrudes
below the chamber far enough to allow it to engage with the lid of a carafe, placed
below the aperture, to further shift it relative to the carriage member, realigning the
two members and opening the valve.

detected by lowest correction factor detecting unit (20) is
multiplied by 1.5, the correlation factors not larger than
S1 are substituted by S2 (S2≤S1), and, among a plurality of
blocks with the correction factors S2, the block closest to
the origin is used the starting point of the moving vector.
In order not to input an erroneous moving vector to the
