IPC: H01L21/687
Filed: 1998-02-03
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a robot that can transfer a workpiece, such as a
silicon wafer, at increased speeds and accelerations/decelerations. A robot wrist
(100) mechanically clamps a workpiece (35) to a workpiece handling member
(86) of an extendable robot arm. The wafer clamp selectively applies sufficient
force to center the workpiece and prevent slippage and damage to the workpiece
during rapid rotation and radial movement of the handling member. In one
embodiment, a clamp for securing silicon wafers uses two independent clamp
fingers (102, 104) to position and hold the wafer with minimal particle
generation and wafer damage. The clamp is designed so that wafers are
normally clamped except during full extension of the wafer handling member to
deliver or pickup a wafer.

Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of Orthopedic Surgery,
Traumatology and Distraction Osteogenesis and consists of a telescopic
unit used in an external fixation system, as well as of an external
fixation system with telescopic units and has a wide range of
applications in all therapeutic surgical practices which today use
systems of external fixation. 
     The telescopic mechanism carried by each unit of the system, in
combination with the way the telescopic units are attached to the rod of
the system, allow for each held pin the choice of five degrees of free
spatial movement and, indeed, separately and independently of the rest
of the held pins. 
     Furthermore, it offers a wide range of choices to the user, with
regard to the number of the telescopic units and the combination of the
components he will choose to place on the rod, in order to achieve the
best, in his opinion, stabilisation of the bone to be restored, while,
for the same reason, he may incorporate in the system a second rod with
the same wide range of choice, number of telescopic units and
combination of components he will choose to place, which he will attach
to the first rod.

Title: Amelioration de la digestibilite des proteines alimentaires par reduction par la thioredoxine
Inventor: BUCHANAN BOB B
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: La thiorédoxine, une petite protéine dithiol, est un réducteur spécifique des principales protéines alimentaires, des protéines allergéniques et notamment des protéines allergéniques présentes dans les aliments de grande consommation d'origine animale et végétale. Toutes les protéines ciblées contiennent des ponts disulfures (S-S) qui sont réduits au niveau sulfhydryle (SH) par la thiorédoxine. Les protéines ont une activité allergénique et sont moins digestibles à l'état oxydé (S-S). Quand elles sont réduites (état SH), elles perdent leur allergénicité et/ou deviennent plus digestibles. La thiorédoxine provoque cette réduction quand elle est activée (réduite) soit par le NADPH via la NADP-thiorédoxine réductase (conditions physiologiques), soit par le dithiothreitol, un réducteur chimique. Les tests cutanés et les essais d'alimentation effectués avec des chiens sensibilisés ont montré que le traitement des aliments par la thiorédoxine réduite, avant l'ingestion, élimine ou diminue leur allergénicité. Des études ont montré que la digestion des aliments et des protéines alimentaires est améliorée par la pepsine et la trypsine après réduction par la thiorédoxine.
