Patent EP-0197129-A4 (EP)
Title: Thread rolling and improved fastener
IPC: B21H3/06
Filed: 1985-10-07
Abstract: A fastener having a shank with a relatively abrupt transition (34) from an unthreaded portion (33) to a full thread dimension (35), the thread runout (36) occupying no more than one pitch length of the thread in the axial dimension, and circumferentially extending no more than about one-fourth of the circumference of the thread at its pitch diameter. The counter-bore of the nut (42) is reduced in length in light of the short transition section of the shank. The threads are rolled on the shank by opposed dies (55) having ridges (56) complementary to the thread to be produced which run out at one edge of the die with spaced, generally symmetrical end walls (60) which are relatively short axially of the ridges so that the full thread dimension is achieved abruptly.

Title: Regulating retroviral replication, infection, and pathogenesis
IPC: A61K31/40
Filed: 1986-11-26
Abstract: Glucosidase I inhibitors as therapeutic agents for combatting nondefective retroviral pathogens, including the aetiological agents of AIDS and feline leukemia. Administration of a processing glucosidase I inhibitor, preferably castanospermine, interrupts the replication of the retrovirus in infected cells, alleviates pathogenic effects associated with the presentation of vital env glycoproteins on infected cells, and may furthermore prevent infection of target cells by interrupting expression of endogenous receptors recognized by the virion.
Patent EP-0315655-A4 (EP)
Title: Coplanar die to substrate bond method
IPC: B32B9/00
Filed: 1988-03-28
Abstract: A coplanar die to substrate bond method wherein a plurality of die (14) are aligned on a silicon wafer substrate (10) in a predetermined relationship and a slurry of glass (24) is applied to bond them together. This occurs while either on a flat (20) or a grooved plate (22). When the silicon wafer substrate (10) and the plurality of die (14) are ready for firing, they are placed on a grooved plate (22) so that grooves (26) are below the glass (24) thereby decreasing the capillary force which commonly causes overflow. With reduced overflow, the bonding can be done at a higher temperature to reduce underflow. Because there is no underflow or overflow using this process, a greater degree of coplanarity is achieved thereby making future processing steps, such as the processing of interconnect lines, much easier to perform.

Title: Control method for synchronous motor.
Inventor: MATSUBARA SHUNSUKE
IPC: H02P27/06
Filed: 1993-05-24
Abstract: This method is capable of executing an optimal phase lead control in accelerating and decelerating a synchronous motor. If a value P produced by multiplying a motor speed and a torque command is positive or zero, the proportional constant of a linear expression for calculating the phase lead compensating amount  delta  is given as k. If the above-mentioned value P is negative, the proportional constant is given as k'. These are set at (k' < k) (S1, S2 and S3). Then, by the use of the proportional constant k or k' thus defined, the phase lead compensating amount  delta  is obtained (S4). The compensating amount  delta  thus obtained is added to the rotor phase THETA  to advance the phase of each current command (S5). On the basis of the current command thus obtained, the current loop is controlled for the motor control.
