Inventor: MIYASHITA SATOSHI
IPC: B01D63/04
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: There is here disclosed a water treatment apparatus
in which a membrane separation device is disposed above a
gas diffuser device arranged in a treating tank, wherein
diameters of gas discharge holes formed in the gas diffuser
device are within a range of 1 to 10 mm, and a relational
expression of  20<X/Y<300  is satisfied wherein X is a
sectional area (cm 2 ) of the membrane separation device in a
horizontal direction, and Y is the number of the gas
discharge holes of the gas diffuser device. According to
this water treatment apparatus, the clogging of the pores in
the surface of a separation membrane with a suspended
substance can be inhibited, so that a stable filtration is
possible for a long period of time.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une bibliothèque chimique de combinaisons de composés apparentés par leur structure à la classe moénomycine des antibiotiques. Cette bibliothèque présente la formule (I), où D est un mono- ou disaccharide donneur, A est un monosaccharide accepteur, et P-R est un groupe mimétique de lipophosphoglycérate. Les éléments de la bibliothèque présentent une liaison glycosidique entre le carbone anomère de D et le carbone C2 de A, et la fraction D-A est à son tour liée par covalence par le carbone anomère de A au groupe P-R. Les éléments de la bibliothèque présentent leur plus grande diversité structurelle en termes de substitution au niveau de la position C3 du résidu A, des substitutions au niveau de la position C2 du résidu D, et différents groupes P-R utilisés pour assembler les composés. Les éléments de la bibliothèque sont, de préférence, synthétisés par des techniques en phase solide consistant à coupler, par étape, des unités correspondantes à un support, à fonctionnaliser des saccharides A et/ou D avant ou après les avoir immobilisés sur le support, et à scinder les composés assemblés du support. Les fonctionnalités préférées fixées aux résidus de sucre sont des amides, des carbamates, des urées, des sulfonamides, des amines substituées, des esters, des carbonates et des sulfates. Des groupes P-R donnés à titre d'exemple sont dérivés de l'homosérine, de l'acide glycérique, des salicylates et de l'acide mandélique. Les éléments de la bibliothèque peuvent être analysés afin de détecter l'activité anti-microbienne en les plaçant au contact d'une culture de microbes et en contrôlant le taux de croissance des microbes.

Abstract: For determining characteristics of components of a communication channel, for example of a transponder in a communication satellite, a clean carrier signal f(t) is modulated with a pseudo noise signal PN(t) and transmitted through the communication channel at a level below the level of a payload signal which is transmitted via the communication channel simultaneously. The received signal s'(t) is correlated with same pseudo noise signal PN(t) to obtain a recovered carrier signal f'(t). Both the clean carrier signal f(t) and the recovered carrier signal f'(t) can be used to determine the desired characteristics. Since the PN modulated clean carrier signal s(t) is transmitted at a low level, it is possible to perform measurements without switching off the payload signal.

Abstract: A variator of the toroidal race rolling friction type has two toroidal cavities (20, 21)
each defined by a central disc (13, 14) and an end disc (11, 12, 36). Variable angle
rollers (22, 23) run in the cavities and transmit power between the central and end
discs. Normally drive is taken from the central discs (13, 14) which are formed as a
single assembly (15), mounted on the variator shaft (10, 30) so as to be free running
on two axially spaced bearings (16). The end discs (11, 12, 36) are mounted so as to
be rotationally fast with respect to the shaft (10,30). At least one, and preferably both
the end discs are capable of rocking to a limited extent out of co-axial relationship
with the shaft (10,30). One of the end discs (11, 36) must be capable of receiving an
axial load, since the discs and rollers are compressed together axially. The axial load
is taken by an annular member (27, 33) fixed to the shaft, co-operating part-aspherical
faces being provided on the member (27, 33) and the end discs (11, 36) to
accommodate rocking of the disc (11, 36). Drive is transmitted between the disc (11,
36) and shaft (10, 30) by means of splines (26) or a thin, flexible disc (35).

Title: Non volatile memory with detection of short circuits between word lines
Inventor: MICHELONI RINO
IPC: G11C29/12
Filed: 1999-09-10
Abstract: The non volatile memory device integrates, in one and the same
chip (100), the array (2) of memory cells, a voltage regulator
(REG) which supplies a regulated operating voltage (Vr) to a
selected word line (LWL1), and a short circuit detecting
circuit (10). The short circuit detecting circuit detects the
output voltage (IM1) of the voltage regulator (REG), which is
correlated to the current (Iw) for biasing the cells (3) of
the word line selected (LWL1). Once settled to the steady
state condition, the output current (IM1) assumes one first
value (IM1') in the absence of short circuits, and one second
value (IM1") in the presence of a short circuit between the
word line selected (LWL1) and one or more adjacent word lines
(LWL0, LWL2, ..., LWLn). The short circuit detecting circuit
(10) compares the output current (IM1) of the voltage
regulator (REG) with a reference value (Iref) and generates at
output a short circuit digital signal (Vo) which indicates the
presence or otherwise of a short circuit.

using a readily available optically active compound as a
starting material by a reaction using a transition metal or
the Mitsunobu reaction, or a combination thereof, followed

reagent. 
     The process can exclude the needs of complicated
optical resolution steps as well as enzyme reactions that
requires a large amount of solvent and long reaction time
besides repeatability is hardly obtained, providing a very
useful production process that can apply for not only
laboratory preparation but also for industrial scale
productions.
