Abstract: A dual-supply line-interface circuit (100) uses a -48V power
supply (V BAT1 ) to drive long subscriber loops (120) and uses a -28V power
supply (V BAT2 ) to drive short subscriber loops. For intermediate-length
loops, a dual-slope current-feed profile is employed to limit the
line-circuit's power dissipation. The line-interface circuit operates in an
apparent constant-current mode, generating about 40mA of differential
line current using the low power supply, up to a threshold line voltage of
about 25V, which is equal to the low power supply voltage minus required
overhead. For longer loops, the line-interface circuit switches to a second
constant-current mode, generating about 22mA of differential current
using the high power supply, which maintains the loop current constant
until it drops to the 48V resistive-feed value.

Inventor: ANGST DAVID L
IPC: B23K31/02
Filed: 1999-11-09
Abstract: An improved method and solder composition for kinetically controlled part bonding.
The method involves applying at least a first chemical element layer of an intermetallic
compound to a first part and applying at least a second chemical element layer of the
intermetallic compound to a second part. The first and second parts are placed together so
that the chemical element layers contact each other. The parts are heated from a storage
temperature to a bonding temperature which is slightly above a first melting temperature
that melts the chemical element layer of one of the first and second parts into a liquid
mixture. The composition of liquid mixture varies with time during heating due to the
formation of the intermetallic compound therein by progressive incorporation of the other one of
the first and second chemical element layers into the mixture. The melting temperature of the
liquid mixture increases with time as the composition changes until the melting temperature of
the liquid mixture is about equal to the bonding temperature thereby soldifying the liquid mixture
into a bond. The parts are then held at a holding temperature which is higher than the
storage temperature to maintain diffusion of the other one of the first and second chemical
element layers into the bond. This forms a quantity of the intermetallic compound in the
bond which is sufficient to raise the melting temperature of the bond to a desired usage
temperature that is substantially above the first melting temperature. The intermetallic
compound is typically composed of a ternary solder composition.

Abstract: A novel endovascular approach useful in the treatment of aneurysms, particularly saccular aneurysms. The present endovascular prosthesis comprises a leaf portion capable of being urged against and blocking the opening of the aneurysm thereby leading to obliteration of the aneurysm. The leaf portion is attached to, and independently moveable with respect to, a body comprising at least one expandable portion. Thus, the body serves the general purpose of fixing the endovascular prosthesis in place at a target body passageway in the vicinity at which the aneurysm is located and the leaf portion serves the purpose of blocking the aneurysmal opening thereby leading to obliteration of the aneurysm. A method of delivering and implanting the endovascular prosthesis is also described.

Abstract: Provided is an aqueous cutting liquid, which suppresses
impacts on not only a local working environment but the global
environment, and in which high dispersibility of abrasive grains and
prevention of precipitate from being formed as a hard cake are
compatible. 
     Abrasive grains G are dispersed in an aqueous composition
comprising a dispersion medium M in which colloidal particles P of
silicic acid are dispersed in a stable manner, the dispersion medium M
being composed of a hydrophilic polyhydric alcohol compound such as
ethylene glycol or the like, a lipophilic polyhydric alcohol compound
such as propylene glycol or the like and water. The dispersion
medium is free of smell and noninflammable. Since abrasive grains
are not put into direct, close contact to each other in sedimentation
over time, precipitate is not formed as a hard cake and thereby
abrasive grains are again dispersed for second use. Since the aqueous
cutting liquid is of low viscosity in an intrinsic sense, increases in
viscosity by mixing of water or cutting chips into the cutting liquid are
mild and therefore, a long lifetime of the cutting liquid is secured.
Water cleaning of a work can be conducted. Since the dispersion
medium is a biodegradable organic compound with a low molecular
weight, a waste of the dispersion medium is treatable by activated
sludge.

Abstract: The ESPD charge of at least one atom in an atomic
group forming a functional group included in an
activating catalyst is in a range between -0.65 and -1.05
(electrons). Alternately, an activating catalyst
includes a cyclic quaternary ammonium group as the
functional group and the ESPD charge of a nitrogen atom
forming the ammonium group is in a range between +0.4 and
+1.3 (electrons). Consequently, the catalyst can
efficiently activate an active hydrogen included in a
compound using the atom showing the ESPD charge in the
above-specified range as an active site. In other words,
the catalyst can be suitably used as an activating
catalyst for various reactions involving the activation
of the active hydrogen. Also, by using the activating
catalyst, a reaction with excellent selectivity can be
conducted.

Abstract: According to the present invention, nitrosyl sulphuric acid is mixed with SO2-containing sulphuric acid, and the acid mixture is removed and transferred towards a stripping area. An SO2-containing gas is fed simultaneously into the stripping area, and a gaseous mixture containing SO2 as well as nitrogen oxides is removed from the upper portion of said stripping area. The SO2-containing sulphuric acid is removed from the lower portion of the stripping area and is mixed at least partially with the nitrosyl sulphuric acid. The gaseous mixture removed from the stripping area is fed at a temperature of between 20 and 100 DEG  C into a heating area where said gaseous mixture is heated to a temperature of about 700 to 1300 DEG  C, thus resulting in the decomposition of nitrogen oxides, mainly of N2O.
