Abstract: A roofing shingle is conveniently formed from a square sheet metal blank. One corner of the blank is provided with a pair of open ended, back to back U shaped slots transverse to a diagonal passing through that corner. The two sides intersected by the slots are downwardly turned to form a small margin, and the other two sides are upwardly turned to form a margin of similar width to the downwardly turned sides. The corner is also downwardly folded above the slots to form a margin of similar width to the other margins, and below the slots it is folded so as to be generally parallel to the central area of the shingle. A shingle support preferably of foamed sheet polystyrene is disposed on the under surface of the shingle. The shingles are layed course by course on a pitched roof in a diamond configuration, a shingle of an upper course engaging the respective downturned edges of two adjacent shingles of a lower course in the U shaped slots to lock the lower corner of the upper shingle mechanically in position. Nails or screws may be used to secure portions of the upper shingle remote from the mechanically locked corner. A downwardly turned side of the upper shingle and an upwardly turned side of a lower shingle will form a seal to resist the penetration of driven rain and capillary action. The shingled roof has an appearance of thickness, while heat transference between shingles is generally reduced in comparison to flat shingles.

Abstract: An EEPROM cell is formed in an IC chip by using only three masking steps in addition to those required for the basic CMOS transistors in the chip. A first mask layer is used to define source/drain regions of select and memory transistors within the EEPROM cell; a second mask layer is used to define a tunneling region of the memory transistor;and a third mask layer is used to define a floating gate of the memory transistor and a gate of the select transistor. A control gate of the memory transistor is formed using the same mask that is used to define the gates of the CMOS transistors. The third and fourth mask layers may also be used to form the lower and upper electrodes, respectively, of a capacitor.

Abstract: An orthogonal code division multiple access (OCDMA) communication system having multicarrier modulation. The incoming input data stream is broken into multiple parallel streams, each of which modulates its own frequency-division multiplexed carrier. This reduces the chipping rate such that the delay spread does not cause excessive access noise. Particularly robust delay lock loop (DLL) code tracking and particularly robust automatic frequency control (AFC) are provided in the presence of frequency-selective fading.

Abstract: The neural network process control system is configured with five neural process models Ä1-5Ü, each of which has four inputs for signals from different process parameter sensor Ä6-9Ü outputs. Each model has an output fed to a common weighting stage Ä10Ü that provides an output to a regulator Ä11Ü coupled to the process. The regulator can be a fuzzy controller. The process neural models are trained with data sets and the weighting module determines a standard variation value relative to an average value. This is compared with a defined limit and if exceeded an alarm Ä12Ü is activated.

Abstract: A method of performing angular distraction osteogenesis by drilling bone-pin holes into the first and second sides of a segmented bone, inserting bone-pins into the bone-pin holes, attaching the bone-pins in each side of the segmented bone to a distraction device and adjusting the distraction devise so that the bone portion of the first side of the segmented bone angularly adjusts, rotates or pivots its position relative to the bone portion on the second side of the segmented bone in precise, gradual and predetermined incremental amounts over a period of time so that the bone tissue remains healthy and the blood vessels and nerve endings remain intact during the bending distraction process. A device for achieving angular distraction osteogenesis is provided having a support member extending across a segmented piece of bone, means for securing the first side of the segmented bone to the support member and the second side of the segmented bone to the support member, and means for angularly adjusting the first section of segmented bone relative to the second section of segmented bone. The angular adjustment means includes a gear and a cooperating adjustment screw which rotates the gear when the screw is adjusted in order to easily angularly adjust or rotate the support member or the means for securing the segmented bone pieces to the support member in precise, small incremental predetermined amounts over a period of time. The means for securing the segmented bone pieces to the support member include bone-pin clamps which can be adjusted linearly or translated in precise, gradual and incremental distances along the length of the support member. In one embodiment, the device has two arms, a central joint for angularly adjusting the two arms and two bone-pin clamps for attaching at least one bone-pin on each side of the segmented bone to a respective arm. The arms are attached to the central joint and angularly adjust or rotate in planes that are oriented different from one another and perhaps perpendicularly and the bone-pin clamps linearly translate along each arm.

Abstract: A test cartridge for use in an assay system for the assay of a liquid sample comprises a housing (60) through which the liquid sample flows during the assay. The housing (60) defines a holding chamber (61) for holding the sample (11) and a test chamber (63), wherein the holding chamber (61) and test chamber (63) are separated by a pierceable member (70) having a cut therein. In the test chamber (63) there is a partition member (6) comprising at least one reagent, and having an opening (9) therethrough. A transfer member (40) is mounted in the test chamber (63) so that it can be moved towards and pierce the pierceable member (70) and contact the liquid sample (11) in the holding chamber (61). When the transfer member (40) has moved through the cut in the pierceable member (70) and contacted the liquid sample (11), a negative pressure is applied to the test chamber (63). Liquid sample (11) then moves through the transfer member (40), into the test chamber (63) and through the opening (9) in the partition member (6).

Abstract: The present invention proposes a process and a device which permit to improve the efficiency of energetic gas turbines operating in user regions with outside temperatures from -5° C. to +5° C. Unlike in the state of the art, no heat is withdrawn in this connection from the gas compressor (3) when the heat requirement rises in the overall intake system, but successively by using first the off-air heated by the generator (2) for heating the intake air in the intake duct (12, 12') and subsequently withdrawing additional heat in the form of the heat of an off-heat system (8) generated at the end of the heat circulation. When additional heat is required, heat can be withdrawn from the compressor (3) via a bypass conduit (20).
