Inventor: HEINZE JUERGEN PROF DR
IPC: C08G61/10
Filed: 1990-09-05
Abstract: When known intrinsically electroconductive polymers are used as the electrode material in reversible charge stores, disadvantages such as low cycle stability and a low charge capacity are common. These disadvantages can be overcome by using poly(4,4'-dialkoxy-2,2'-bithiophenes), which have significantly better stability and capacity properties.

Abstract: In order to be able to determine, in a known method for recognition of a succession of words in a speech signal, not only the succession of words with the greatest similarity, but also a specific number of further successions of words with decreasing similarity, a specific structure is indicated for the storage spaces in the memory with the backtracking addresses, as is a measure for generating the information for these storage spaces. The computing effort additionally required for determining these further successions of words is low in comparison with the normal computing effort of the recognition method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Fine featured devices are produced by a series of fabrication steps including exposing selective surface regions to irradiation, e.g. to an ion beam, generally to result in removal of masking material within irradiated regions. In most instances, subsequent etching is under conditions such that bared material is preferentially removed. Etch-removal and irradiation are such that overgrown material is of device quality at least in etched regions. The inventive process is of particular value in the fabrication of integrated circuits, e.g. circuits performing electronic and/or optical functions. The inventive process is expediently used in the fabrication of structures having minimum feature size of 1 micrometer and smaller. Patterning is dependent upon masking material of a maximum thickness of 100Å.

Abstract: The invention relates to flat steel concrete anchors for precast concrete parts, which customarily comprise a connecting region, lying close to the surface of the precast concrete part and having an opening for a hoist, and an anchoring region, lying deeper in the precast concrete part and possessing, at at least one point, portions which project from the plane of the flat steel and through which saddle-mounting faces directed substantially transversely with respect to the loading direction are formed for the concrete. These projecting portions are formed by hook-shaped bends which are at the same time intended to grip round reinforcement bars or secondary reinforcement bars. As a result of this shape, the flat steel concrete anchors are dependent, with respect to their position, on the direction of the secondary reinforcement bar, which can lead to problems in particular with very narrow concrete parts. The flat steel concrete anchor is to be provided in the anchoring region of the flat steel with an opening (5), beside which run lateral webs (6, 7) which are arched in opposite directions out of the plane of the flat steel by deformation. As a result of this shape, the opening is to have, in addition to the opening cross-section existing orthogonally to the flat steel plane, also an opening cross-section parallel to the flat steel plane.

Abstract: A modulus counter (13B) counts first clock pulses (PCK1) to modulus M and ouputs the count value (Cm) as an m-bit reference signal (S R ), M being an integer.
