Title: Production d'une source d'ions de metal liquide
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 1986-03-27
Granted: 1992-11-04
Abstract: Un procédé permet de préparer une structure de source (10) d'ions en métal liquide, de préférence en graphite, de sorte que celle-ci puisse être mouillée par des alliages contenant du bore. Le procédé comprend tout d'abord le revêtement de la structure de source avec du bore élémentaire (74). Le bore est fourni de préférence sous la forme d'une poudre dans un excipient liquide (24) avec lequel on enduit la surface du substrat (22) de la structure de source. La structure enduite est chauffée pendant une courte durée jusqu'à une température où le substrat de la structure de source et le bore forment une couche liquide à la surface du substrat afin de ''borer'' le substrat (12). La structure finale mouillée de source est obtenue en mélangeant une petite quantité de poudre de bore libre avec l'alliage (72) à évaporer par ionisation (également en poudre), en enduisant la structure de source (22) antérieurement borée avec ce mélange et en chauffant l'alliage contacté de source additionné de bore et la structure de source (22) jusqu'à une température au moins égale à la température de l'état solide de l'alliage de source, et à ce moment la structure de source (22) est mouillée. Une fois mouillée, on peut établir un écoulement d'alliage de source vers la pointe émettrice (22) de la structure de source, pendant le fonctionnement de la source d'ions. Il est possible d'omettre le borage préalable dans le cas de quelques structures de source en carbure de bore.

Abstract: Two 32,000-dalton proteins with inhibin activity were isolated from porcine follicular fluid using heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography, followed by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and then four steps of reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Each isolated molecular is composed of two chains having molecular weights of about 18,000 and about 14,000 daltons, respectively, which are bound together by disulfide bonding. Microsequencing revealed the NH2-terminal portion of the 18K chain of both to be Ser-Thr-Ala-Pro-Leu-Pro-Trp-Pro-Trp-Ser-Pro-Ala-Ala-Leu-Arg-Leu-Leu-Gl n-Arg-Pro-Pro-Glu-Glu-Pro-Ala-Val, of one of the 14K chains to be Gly-Leu-Glu-Cys-Asp-Gly-Arg-Thr-Asn-Leu-Cys-Cys-Arg-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Il e-Asp-Phe-Arg-Leu-Ile-Gly-Trp, and of the other 14K chain to be Gly-Leu-Glu-Cys-Asp-Gly-Lys-Val-Asn-Ile-Cys-Cys-Lys-Lys-Gln-Phe-Phe-Va l-Ser-Phe-Lys-Asp-Ile-Gly-Trp-Asn-Asp-Trp-Ile-Ile-Ala-Pro. Both proteins have now been completely characterized, each having a first chain 134 residues long linked by disulfide bonding to a second chain 116 or 115 residues long. The first chain is believed to be glycosylated, which accounts for the disparity between the number of residues and the apparent molecular weight of 18K. These 32K proteins specifically inhibit basal secretion of FSH, but not of LH, in a rat anterior pituitary monolayer culture system. The half-maximal effective does of one is 450 pg/ml and of the other is 900 pg/ml.

The cover (26) may have a close fit to the containment vessel, sufficient to restrict exchange of gases etc. between the external atmosphere and the containment vessel, or more positive sealing arrangements may be provided - e.g. labyrinth, flexible or liquid seals - to prevent flows between the vessel and the environment. Additionally or alternatively, positive venting of the containment vessel by withdrawl of its atmosphere may ensure that all leakages are into the vessel.

Abstract: A non-invasive ultrasonic volume blood measurement system includes a transducer probe assembly (10) having an inner and a concentric outer element (14, 16). Both are used to insonify a lumen area and to generate received signals representative of wide and narrow beams. The signals are processed simultaneously to produce respective Doppler power spectrums. Phase quadrature signals are generated for determining flow direction, and an AGC circuit (94) provides output signals controlling the amplitude of both spectrums for accurate computation of beam power ratio. A mean frequency estimator circuit (100) determines flow velocity at the lumen area, and a recording thereof is observed by the operator to ensure correct placement of the probe assembly (10) for insonifying a desired lumen area. Thereafter, a processing/controlling unit (22) determines volume blood flow by multiplying the determined flow velocity by the ratio of the obtained powers in the wide and narrow beams.

Title: Mounting of a force transducer in a measuring platform
IPC: G01G19/44
Filed: 1988-05-18
Granted: 1993-01-13
Abstract: A force transducer with an electromechanical transducer element for fitting in force plates (i.e. measuring platforms) includes adjacent a first axial end a radial mounting flange with a greater outside diameter than that adjacent the second axial end. This make it possible, after connecting the signal lines, to insert the transducer in a mounting hole of the base plate of the force plate and then fix it by welding, brazing, soldering or cementing. The transducer with its signal lines thus becomes an integral part of the base plate and is sealed completely against outside influences. The recesses of the base plate may be filled with a curable resin, providing further portection against mechanical shocks and corrosion influences while at the same time enhancing the rigidity of the force plate.

Abstract: A method is proposed of injection moulding hollow formed parts from thermoplastic resins in which first of all an amount of the molten resin sufficient for forming the part is forced into the injection mould. Then, a flowable medium, in particular gas, is forced into the injection mould and/or the thermoplastic resin at a pressure which distributes the resin compound evenly over the surface of the mould cavity, forming a hollow article. Thereafter, the hollow article is cooled in the injection mould whilst kept under the pressure of the medium. Finally, the hollow article is relieved of the pressure of the medium and then the formed part is released and removed from the injection mould. What is essential here is that the pressure of the medium within the injection mould, or on the resin compound distributed over the surface of the mould cavity, is varied at least for a time during its cooling, to be precise by closed-loop and/or open-loop control according to a pressure profile specified for the respective formed part and/or resin material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating non-ferrous metal drosses in order to recover the free metal contained therein. The dross is heated by a plasma torch (40) in a rotary furnace (10), preferably to a temperature above 800 DEG C. The plasma heating and rotary motion make it possible to recover metal from the dross without employing the conventional salt bath. This means that the gases exiting the furnace can be treated more easily to remove pollutants and the solid residues can be discarded without risk of causing environmental pollution. By controlling the speed of rotation of the furnace (10), large dross lumps can be accommodated and so the conventional grinding and screening procedure of the dross can advantageously be eliminated.

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical recording member, its production and an optical recording card produced by utilizing them, wherein a blackened silver particle-containing layer is disposed on a substrate and a pigment layer absorbing a near infrared ray is disposed on the silver particle-containing layer. In the optical recording member having such a structure, when a laser beam having an optical energy density above a threshold value of a predetermined optical energy density as a boundary is applied, the optical recording member consisting of the silver particle-containing layer and the pigment layer deforms in a projection shape so that this deformed portion can be utilized as an optical recording pit. In the optical recording member of this invention, the recording pit thus formed is detected by the existence of reflection of a read beam and an optical recording data is read out. However, even when the optical pit is repeatedly radiated many times with a read beam consisting of a laser beam having an energy density below the threshold value, the optical recording pit does not deform so that the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the signal does not drop with time.
