Patent EP-0285311-A3 (EP)
Title: Integrated circuits with component placement by rectilinear partitioning
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1988-03-23
Abstract: An integrated circuit, and a method for laying out and creating the 
integrated circuit, which contains large circuit blocks placed at any desired 
location on a chip, with the rest of the circuitry placed in the remaining non-­
rectangular area on the chip. The layout takes account of connections from within 
the circuit area to connection points external to the area. The procedure for the 
automatic layout proceeds in two steps. The first step is global partitioning and 
placement, and the second is detailed placement. The global partitioning performs 
the logical partitioning of the cells into clusters to be placed among and between 
the macro cells and the external terminals, with each cluster being eventually 
laid-out in a rectangular area. The second step involves the detailed placement of 
cells within the rectangular areas. Partitioning is accomplished by an iterative 
process, where at each iterative step the non-rectangular area is divided into two 
parts of approximately equal size. The circuitry to be placed in each of the 
divided areas is then partitioned in proportion to the size of the areas in 
accordance with known techniques, coupled with a novel terminal reassignment 
procedure.

Title: Hair styling agents and compositions containing the same
IPC: A61K8/34
Filed: 1988-12-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to styling agents comprising adhesive copolymers along with a volatile diluent useful in products such as shampoos and conditioners which provide hair styling hold. The monomer components in these copolymers are randomly distributed in the copolymer chain, preferably to form a substantially linear chain. Preferably, at least one of the monomer components is selected from vinyl pyridine, acrylate amides and methacrylate amides and one of the other monomer components is selected from butadiene, isoprene, isobutene, acrylate esters, methacrylate esters, vinyl alkyl ethers, alkyl-substituted butadienes, and chloroprene. These copolymers also have a single glass transition temperature within the temperature range of from about 0 DEG C to about 150 DEG C. The volatile diluents useful in these styling agents can be hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, amines, alkyl alcohols, or volatile silicon derivatives.

Title: Process for preparing moulded objects
IPC: C08L27/06
Filed: 1989-03-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of moulded articles which have an unfoamed vinyl chloride homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer or graft polymer layer (compact layer) produced by slush moulding over a layer having at least one foam structure. To produce the unfoamed layer, a plasticiser-containing vinyl chloride polymer is first introduced into a mould in the slush-moulding process, and gelled or sintered by heating. After the compact layer has formed, any excess of ungelled or unsintered powder, plastisol or paste is removed from the mould. According to the invention, sintering or gelling of the compact layer is followed by application by slush moulding of a plasticiser-containing vinyl chloride homopolymer, copolymer, terpolymer or graft polymer which contains at least one water-free chemical blowing agent, this barrier layer being formed using a mixture of 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride polymer, certain parts by weight of at least one plasticiser (monomer plasticiser and/or polymer plasticiser), at least one stabiliser and/or kicker for the blowing agent (including antioxidants), at least one water-free chemical blowing agent or blowing agent mixture and at least one filler or filler mixture and/or additive.

Title: An inlet for a high volume particle sampler
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 1989-07-20
Abstract: A sampling inlet (150,163) for sampling 
aerosols in atmospheric air comprises an inlet housing 
(163) that has an air flow and an inertial particle 
classification impactor (182,183,184,185,197) in a 
series flow path from an inlet opening (155) in the 
sampler to a filter (203) which collects the material. 
The sampler is a classification device of the virtual 
impactor type, utilizing at least one nozzle (182) 
that receives the flow carrying the aerosols, and a 
receiver tube that is aligned with the nozzle (182) 
and spaced therefrom, with a major portion of flow 
being diverted from the space between the nozzle (182) 
and the receiver tube (185). The heavier particles 
are carried by inertia into the receiver tube (185) 
and then are carried off by minor flow of fluid that 
passes through the receiver tube (185).

IPC: C01B21/064
Filed: 1989-07-27
Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing fibres 
composed of or coated with carbides or nitrides. The 
process involves forming a first reaction zone (23) contain­
ing microfine particles of an oxide (or oxide precursor) of 
silicon or a suitable metal (e.g. boron) uniformly mixed 
with carbon (or a carbon precursor); forming a second 
reaction zone (24) comprising a layer having a thickness of 
1 cm or less of a porous mass having a density of 1 g/cc or 
less formed of short or continuous fibres made of or coated 
with carbon (or carbon precursor); heating the first 
reaction zone (23) in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to generate 
a gaseous sub-oxide of the silicon or metal; simultaneously 
heating the second reaction zone (24) so that the gaseous 
sub-oxide diffuses into it and reacts with the carbon to 
form carbide or nitride on the fibres; and separating the 
resulting fibres from any carbide or nitride whiskers that 
may have formed in the second reaction zone. Short or 
continuous fibres (e.g. in the form of a fabric or paper-­
like sheets) consisting of or coated with carbides or 
nitrides can be formed in this way.

long-sized inclined pit which is inclined at an angle in 
the range of 6° to 80° to a recording track. A driving 
system for driving the optical recording element for 
recording information in the non-continuous recording area 
or erasing information stored therein with a light beam the 
output of which is varied as required and checking whether 
said recording or erasing has been correctly performed, 
within a very short time in which the light beam passes 
through the non-continuous recording area. By using the 
optical recording element in combination with its driving 
system, the processing speed can be greatly improved and 
the irradiating position of the light beam at every 
recording unit can be correctly controlled.
Patent EP-0370991-A3 (EP)
IPC: B29C51/08
Filed: 1989-11-23
Abstract: A thermoformable mat, e.g., a mat of resinated 
fiberglass, is compressed and shaped into a contoured 
object, e.g., a shell for an automobile headliner, by this 
process. The mat is compressed between two dies that have 
been preheated. At least one of the dies is perforated. 
Superheated steam (e.g., at 80 psig and 600° F.) is ejected 
from the perforations into the mat, thereby quickly raising 
the mat temperature to its thermoforming point. After the 
mat is set into the contoured shape, the dies are reopened 
and the formed mat is removed. If the mat that is used 
contains a thermoplastic adhesive, the mat is cooled to 
below the adhesive's melt print before the dies are opened. 
This can be done by applying a vacuum to the perforated die 
and pulling ambient air through the mat.

to form a pair of near-field images which are spatially 
shifted with respect to each other by one-half cycle of 
the sine wave, whereby a substantially smooth, uniform 
image of the laser array is formed.

Title: Drive for a stacking table of a pile lifting device for a sheet-fed painting press and method for controlling this drive.
Inventor: MEYER HELMUT
IPC: H02P6/08
Filed: 1993-08-24
Abstract: Whereas, for reasons of efficiency, high operating rates are necessary for charging and discharging the stacking table 2, the stacking table 2, for example, on the feeder is readjusted via the lifting device, intermittently, such that the topmost sheet can always be freely received by the suction head and conveyed into the machine. The invention is based on the object of proposing a drive and a process for controlling said drive which optimises the readjustment of the stack during the printing process. This object is achieved in that a brushless DC motor 4 is designed as a stepping motor with external commutation. This means that the control electronics 8 activate the phase windings 9 such that the brushless DC motor 4 is driven successively into the sequentially correct static rotor positions. <IMAGE>
