IPC: C07K14/43
Filed: 1986-10-28
Granted: 1992-09-02
Abstract: Disclosed are improved methods for orienting polypeptide molecules containing multiple disulfide bonds into their native conformation through (1) treating the polypeptide with (a) a denaturing agent and (b) a reducing agent capable of reductively dissociating cystine disulfide bonds; (2) concurrently reducing the concentration of the reducing agent while forming a stable intermediate by reacting a disulfide containing compound with the reduced cysteine moieties of the polypeptide and; (3) forming native cystine disulfide bonds in the presence of a mild oxidizing/reducing environment while dissociating the disulfide-group polypeptide moeities.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rear-entry ski boot with a closure and flexibility adjustment device which includes a shell (1) to which a rear quarter (2) and a front quarter (3), mutually closeable on each other, are pivotably coupled. The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that it includes closure elements for the mutual tightening of the quarters adapted to act, at the same time, as flexibility adjusters. The closure elements consist of a lever (4) supported by the rear quarter (2) and acting on a cable (6) which embraces the front quarter (3), with the interposition of a device for adjusting the useful length of the cable (6). The cable (6) is removably accommodatable in notches (21) provided transversely with respect to a slot (20) defined at the front top edge of the front quarter (3) and extending longitudinally on the front quarter (3).

Title: Manufacture of shaped articles from refractory powder
IPC: C04B40/00
Filed: 1987-12-29
Granted: 1992-01-02
Abstract: A method of making a shaped article comprises mixing a refractory powder with an aqueous acidic phosphate solution, subjecting the mixture thus formed to high shear to form a plastic mass, shaping the mass, and hardening the shaped mass at a temperature below the sintering temperature of the refractory powder. By this method articles of useful hot-strength can be obtained without having to employ the high temperatures required for sintering.

Title: Sewing needle with easy-threading filament loop
IPC: D05B85/00
Filed: 1987-02-13
Granted: 1992-08-12
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US87/00244 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 12, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 12, 1988 PCT Filed Feb. 3, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/06197 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 25, 1988.A sewing needle has a main body 10 and a closed loop 18 of a resilient filament material rigidly secured to the rear end of the main body and lying a single common plane with the lengthwise axis of the main body. In unstressed condition, the filament has an open diamond configuration allowing a sewing thread to be easily passed through it. As the needle is pulled through the fabric, the loop collapses under the forces imposes on its sides by the fabric and thereafter expands to reassume its unstressed configuration. The rigid securement of the loop to the main body of the needle ensures that the loop remains in a single common plane with the needle axis as it collapses upon passage through the fabric and as it expands to its unstressed configuration following such passage.

IPC: H04N5/05
Filed: 1987-04-13
Granted: 1993-09-29
Abstract: A circuit for generating vertical synchronizing pulses for use in a television receiver. A vertical synchronizing separator circuit (VS) is not constituted so as to directly integrate a series of pulses emitted from a composite synchronizing separator circuit, but is constituted so as to integrate microcurrents emitted in response to a such a series of pulses. Therefore, the capacitor (22) for integration needs only a small capacity and can be provided in an IC, thus contributing to reducing the number of IC pins. Further, the microcurrent can be adjusted depending upon a current that flows through an externally provided load (28).

Patent EP-0280089-B1 (EP)
IPC: C23C14/00
Filed: 1988-02-04
Granted: 1991-04-03
Abstract: A method for producing consecutive layers of titanium and titanium nitride on a substrate to produce a contact and barrier layer between, for example, aluminum and silicon surfaces or silicide surfaces utilizing cathode sputtering in a one chamber magnetron sputtering system. The titanium and titanium nitride layers each occur as a plurality of individual layers formed in a cyclical process with temperature treatments being carried out between the deposition of the individual layers. During the deposition of the titanium nitride layer, the nitrogen concentration in the reaction gas is adjusted higher than that stoichiometrically required for production of titanium nitride. The resulting combined layers provide low mechanical stressing, good thermal stability, low contact resistance and similar advantages. The method may be employed for the production of megabit-DRAM cells and logic circuits.

Title: Opening range-limiting detent for wings or windows, doors or the like
IPC: E05C17/04
Filed: 1988-10-01
Granted: 1991-03-27
Abstract: There is described a limiting detent 16 for the opening range of wings of windows, doors or the like, especially turn-and-tilt wings, interacting with the frame via a setting-out device. A setting-out arm 6a is mounted at one end merely pivotably, for example on the frame, whilst at its other end it engages via a sliding pin 14 pivotably displaceably into a long hole 13 of a sliding guide 11, for example on the wing. One end of the long hole 13 forms a detent 15 for the sliding pin 14, which limits the maximum opening range of the wing. To reduce the effective length of the long hole 13, the sliding guide 11 can be assigned a detent piece 17. This detent piece 17 is designed as a strip of flat material which can be slipped onto the outer surface of the sliding guide 11 and which engages, by means of at least two projections 18 and 19 projecting from its underside, in recesses 13 and 20 in the sliding guide 11 fixedly in terms of rotation and displacement and projects at least by means of a transverse edge 21 as a detent into the region of the long hole 13. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method of forming a solid article of predetermined shape from a liquid which can be cured by exposure to radiation, a surface (12, 32, 52, 76) upon which the article is to be formed is provided. A predetermined region (20) of the surface is exposed to a beam of radiation (16, 54, 74, 78, 80, 132, 134). Liquid (26, 62) is then supplied to an unexposed region (22) of the surface such that a solid barrier (28, 66, 82, 84), defining a surface of the solid article, is created at the interface (18, 56) of the liquid and the beam. The solid barrier is effective as a mould to contain the liquid which has been supplied but not yet cured until this liquid is cured. Such a method can be used to encapsulate a microelectronic device.

IPC: D05B27/02
Filed: 1989-06-15
Granted: 1992-05-13
Abstract: The device for the infeed of flaps of leather in a machine for sewing the same, consists of two feed plates moved in a cyclic phase, inside holes 11, 12 made in a plate 10, in order to effect the partial protrusion of the plates 13, 14 from the holes 11, 12 and their engagement with the corresponding surfaces of the flaps 1, 2, resting on the plate 10 and below stopping means 20, the infeed of the flaps 1, 2, the disengagement of the feed plates 13, 14 from the flaps 1, 2 and the return to the original position of the feed plates 13, 14. The first plate is integral with a supporting element 9 and the second plate 14 is linked to the element 9, with the possibility of sliding axially. The sewing of said flaps 1,2 along a curved trajectory is performed because of the progressive slowing down of the mobile plate 14 occurring during the infeed movement of the plates 13, 14 and as a consequence of a counteraction to the infeed of the flap 1, whereas the return to the original position of the plate 14, is the result of the reaction of elastic means 18, during the movement of the plates 13, 14 to their starting position.
