Abstract: An automatic workpiece transport apparatus for a
double-side polishing machine is disclosed. A carrier (C) is
positioned at a predetermined position by a positioning unit (5),
and an image of the top surface of the carrier (C) is captured
by use of a visual sensor (6). A computer (7) performs image
processing to obtain the center coordinates of the wafers (W) or
the workpiece holders (H) while reference marks (E) or the like
provided on the carrier (C) are used as references. The
transport robot (8) is moved and controlled based on the thus-detected
coordinate data in order to load the wafers (W) into
the workpiece holders (H) or to unload the wafers (W) from the
workpiece holders (H). Further, two visual sensors (15) are provided
at the tip end of the arm of the transport robot (6). These
visual sensors (15) send to the computer (7) an image of the
peripheral portion of the held wafer (W). Thus, the computer (7)
performs fine adjustment in positioning the wafer (W) and the
workpiece. The automatic workpiece transport apparatus can
reliably load and unload semiconductor wafers (W) to and from
the carrier (C) that holds semiconductor substrates.

Abstract: A scroll compressor having a non-uniform generating radius for its scroll
wraps is formed to have a flank relief which is greatest at locations having the
highest generating radius. In scroll compressors having non-uniform generating
radii, there is an increased likelihood of contact at the areas (A,B,C,B') having the highest
generating radius. Thus, flank relief is provided at the areas having the higher
generating radii. In addition, the flank relief is preferably proportional to the
generating radius. Further at areas having a generating radius below a
predetermined minimum, no flank relief is necessary.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cap for sealing lead-throughs
made for pipes and other tubular elements
penetrating roof coverings. Such a cap usually comprises
a flange section (1, 13) and a sleeve (4, 14) arranged to
protrude from the flange section. It is intended particularly
for sealing lead-throughs which are situated in steep roofs
or which become wider above the roof. The flange section
is arranged to surround the sleeve (4) that tapers off at its
end, and the sleeve is mounted in the flange section by
means of deep corrugations (5) extending in opposite
directions. Such corrugations enable sharp turning of the
sleeve with respect to the flange section without any
tearing of the sleeve. Therefore the invention is applicable
for use at any roof pitch and with any diameter of a lead-through.

Abstract: A novel nuclear receptor, termed the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR), a broad-specificity sensing receptor that is a novel branch of the nuclear receptor superfamily, has been discovered. SXR forms a heterodimer with RXR that can bind to and induce transcription from response elements present in steroid-inducible cytochrome P450 genes in response to hundreds of natural and synthetic compounds with biological activity, including therapeutic steroids as well as dietary steroids and lipids. Instead of hundreds of receptors, one for each inducing compound, the invention SXR receptors monitor aggregate levels of inducers to trigger production of metabolizing enzymes in a coordinated metabolic pathway. Agonists and antagonists of SXR are administered to subjects to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals dependent upon modulating metabolism of one or more endogenous steroids or xenobiotics to establish homeostasis. An assay is provided for identifying steroid drugs that are likely to cause drug interaction if administered to a subject in therapeutic amounts.

Abstract: A process is provided for the removal of hydrogen sulfide out of a gas stream by contacting the hydrogen sulfide contaminated gas with a solution of chelated metal catalyst, such as iron EDTA, in a scrubbing vessel so as to result in a cleaned gas and a scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and a reduced chelated metal catalyst. A portion of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas is branched off from the rest of the hydrogen sulfide contaminated feed gas, at a location upstream of the scrubbing vessel, and injected into a bisulfide generating vessel where it is contacted with an aqueous caustic solution, such as an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, wherein the hydrogen sulfide reacts with the caustic solution to result in a cleaned gas and a solution containing bisulfide ions. The solution containing bisulfide ions and the scrubbing solution containing elemental sulfur and reduced chelated metal catalyst are both injected into an oxidation vessel where they are contacted with an oxygen containing gas which oxidizes the reduced chelated metal catalyst back into its reactive oxidation state and also oxidizes the bisulfide ions into thiosulfate ions. The regenerated scrubbing solution containing reactive chelated metal catalyst and thiosulfate ions are recycled back to the scrubbing vessel for further contact with the hydrogen sulfide containing gas. The thiosulfate ions protect the chelated metal catalyst from degradation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une boucle à retard de phase qui utilise un circuit de déphasage du signal d'horloge, comportant une ligne à retard, pour synchroniser un signal d'horloge de référence avec un signal d'horloge décalé. La ligne à retard, couplée à une borne d'entrée de référence de la boucle à retard de phase, génère un signal d'horloge retardé qui est amené au circuit de déphasage du signal d'horloge. Un générateur de sortie, couplé à la ligne à retard, au circuit de déphasage et à la borne de sortie de la boucle à retard de phase, génère, comme signal d'horloge de sortie de la boucle à retard de phase, soit le signal d'horloge retardé soit l'un des signaux d'horloge déphasés. Le temps de propagation de la ligne à retard est établi de façon à synchroniser le signal d'horloge de référence avec le signal d'horloge décalé, qui est reçu au niveau d'une borne d'entrée de rétroaction de la boucle à retard de phase. Un détecteur de phase compare le signal d'horloge de référence et le signal d'horloge décalé de façon à déterminer le temps de propagation convenant pour la ligne à retard.
