Title: Method of manufacturing grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having excellent magnetic characteristics
Inventor: KOMATSUBARA MICHIRO
IPC: C21D11/00
Filed: 1996-02-12
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having excellent and stable magnetic characteristics which includes the steps of subjecting a silicon steel slab to hot rolling to form a hot-rolled sheet, cold rolling the hot-rolled sheet at least once with intermediate annealings between successive cold rollings to form a cold-rolled sheet, and thereafter primary recrystallization annealing the cold-rolled sheet to form a primary recrystallized sheet.  The primary recrystallized sheet is then final finish annealed, which includes a secondary recrystallization annealing and a purifying annealing during which the steel slab is coated with an annealing separator.  The coercive force of the primary recrystallized steel sheet is controlled to a predetermined range before the start of secondary recrystallization.

Filed: 1994-10-26
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé de transport d'un objet flexible allongé (1, 5) tel qu'une courroie, une chaîne, un fil métallique ou une bande. Lors de ce transport, la vitesse d'une partie de l'objet allongé (1, 5) est amenée à varier périodiquement, alors qu'une vitesse constante des parties amont et aval de l'objet (1, 5) est maintenue. Le procédé consiste à faire passer l'objet allongé (1, 5) devant des organes de transport (9, 11, 13, 15), tels que des cylindres rotatifs qui oscillent parallèlement à l'objet allongé (1, 5) dans le sens du transport et dans le sens opposé au transport. Lors de l'oscillation des organes de transport, trois sections de l'objet allongé sont maintenues parallèles les unes aux autres. Un mécanisme d'équilibrage du mouvemnt de translation et de rotation permet que les organes de transport (9, 11, 13, 15) soient entraînés à des vitesses élevées et à de faibles variations du couple.

Patent CA-2180540-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LUND MARLYS E
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 1995-01-20
Abstract: The present invention exploits the herein first reported, empirical observation that even though staphylococci produce the enzyme, .beta.-glucosidase, this genus of bacteria is not able to produce a metabolite that will enzymatically react with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranoside, a substrate commonly used to detect the presence of .beta.-glucosidase produced by other bacteria. In view of this unexpected observation, one embodiment of the present invention includes a selective medium containing inhibitors to enhance staphylococci growth as well as a first glucopyranoside substrate. such as 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranoside, and a second phosphatase substrate, such as 6-chloro-3-indolylphosphate or 5-bromo-6-chloro-3-indolylphosphate.  In this embodiment, staphylococci in a sample will produce metabolites that will react with the phosphate substrate in the medium to produce colonies having red to red-violet color while other bacteria in the sample will produce .beta.-glucosidase that will react with the glucopyranosidase substrate in the medium and produce colonies having a blue color.  In a particularly preferred embodiment of this invention, a thin film culture plate device, such as a PETRIFILM culture plate device, is prepared using a dry culture medium containing selected inhibitors, a first glucopyranoside substrate and a second phosphate substrate. When the thin film culture plate device is inoculated with a sample and then incubated for a sufficient period of time, staphylococci in the sample will produce colonies on the thin film device having a red color and other bacteria in the sample will produce colonies on the device having a blue color.

Abstract: Générateur rechargeable constitué d'une anode d'un métal alcalin, ou alliage alcalin ductile, d'au moins un électrolyte polymère conducteur des cations alcalins agissant comme séparateur ainsi que d'au moins une cathode, réversible aux cations du métal alcalin et de son collecteur de courant. L'anode comprend un feuillard métallique mince, de moins de 100 micromètres d'épaisseur, qui comporte en surface un film de passivation SEI, capable de limiter la réaction entre le métal et l'électrolyte polymère et d'échanger des ions lithium lors des cycles successifs de décharge et de charge. L'électrolyte polymère comprend un séparateur homogène, résistant aux déformations mécaniques, et capable de transmettre une pression sur l'anode et de résister à la poussée dendritique du métal de l'anode, en subissant un taux de déformation inférieur à 35% de son épaisseur. L'électrolyte polymère du séparateur et le cas échéant, lorsqu'on utilise une cathode composite, contient un seuil maximum d'espèces réactives au lithium cumulables à la surface de l'anode permettant de préserver la qualité des échanges ioniques à l'interface anode/électrolyte polymère et enfin, l'ensemble anode du métal alcalin, électrolyte séparateur, cathode et collecteur est maintenu sous une contrainte mécanique suffisante de façon à ce que le séparateur puisse confiner le feuillard de l'anode en place et préserver l'intégrité de l'interface lithium-électrolyte lors de cyclessuccessifs de dissolution/placage. L'avantage d'un tel système c'est qu'il est possible d'augmenter sensiblement le nombre de cycles obtenus durant la vie normale du générateur.
Patent CA-2191457-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for producing thin films
Inventor: FOSTER ROBERT F
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1994-12-23
Abstract: To deposit a film on a substrate (22) by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at temperatures sub-stantially lower than conventional thermal CVD temper-atures, a substrate is placed within a reaction chamber (12) and a first gas is excited upstream of the substrate to generate activated radicals of the first gas. A second gas is supplied proximate the substrate to mix with the activated radicals of the first gas and the mixture pro-duces a surface reaction at the substrate to deposit a film. Rotation of the substrate draws the gas mixture down to the substrate surface in a laminar flow (29) to reduce re-circulation and radical recombination.  Another method utilizes a gas-dispersing showerhead (298) that is biased with RF energy to form an electrode which generates ac-tivated radicals and ions in a concentrated plasma close to the substrate surface.

Title: Method and apparatus for adapting the language model's size in a speech recognition system
Inventor: BANDARA UPALI
IPC: G10L15/197
Filed: 1995-11-04
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for adapting, particularly reducing, the size of a language model, which comprises word n-grams, in a speech recognition system.  The invention provides a mechanism to discard those n-grams for which the acoustic part of the system requires less support from the language model to recognize correctly. The proposed method is suitable for identifying those trigrams in a language model for the purpose of discarding during the built-time of the system. Provided is also another automatic classification scheme for words which allows the compression of a language model, but under retention of accuracy. Moreover it allows an efficient usage of sparsely available text corpora because even singleton trigrams are used when they are helpful. No additional software tools are needed to be developed because the main tool, the fast match scoring, is a module readily available in the known recognizers themselves. Further improvement of the method is accomplished by classification of words according to the common text in which they occur as far as they distinguish from each other acoustically. The invention opens the possibility to make speech recognition available in low-cost personal computers (PC's), even in portable computers like Laptops.
