Title: POLISHING COMPOUND, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF AND POLISHING METHOD
Inventor: TAKEMIYA SATOSHI
IPC: B24B37/00
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: A heterocyclic benzene compound such as
benzotriazole, is dissolved in at least one substance
selected from the group consisting of a primary alcohol
having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a glycol having from 2
to 4 carbon atoms, an ether represented by the Formula 2
(wherein m is an integer of from 1 to 4), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone,
N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide,
γ-butyrolactone and propylene carbonate, and an aqueous
dispersion of fine oxide particles which constitute
abrasive grains is mixed therewith, whereby a polishing
compound is obtained. By use of this polishing compound
in polishing a substrate provided with an insulating film
2 on which a wiring metal film 4 and a barrier film 3 are
formed, the formation of an embedded wiring 5 is made
possible with low dishing, low erosion and low scratching
at a high removal rate.

Title: Tissus thermochromiques files par fusion
Inventor: CARLYLE THOMAS
IPC: D04H1/42
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'obtenir une répartition uniforme d'un pigment thermochromique réversible dans un tissu non tissé filé par fusion. Ce procédé consiste à incorporer le pigment thermochromique réversible dans le polymère fondu au moment de la formation des fibres ou des filaments. On a observé que l'incorporation de ce pigment dans le polymère fondu améliore l'uniformité thermochromique ainsi que la durabilité du tissu. En outre, ce tissu thermochromique réversible est traité en une seule étape de formation, le procédé de l'invention étant donc plus efficace que les procédés antérieurs.

Abstract: A store apparatus determines a number of points
given to a customer who has purchased commodity from a
customer apparatus via the Internet, in which the number
of points are determined based on a number indicated by a
roulette. This makes possible to keep purchase
willingness of the customer and to direct the purchase
willingness of the customer to all commodities. In
addition, since the customer may be able to acquire
higher point than the point given usually depending on a
result of the roulette, it is possible to rouse the
purchase of the customer, and as an additional plus, the
customer is capable of shopping with more fun.

Abstract: An improved incandescent holder assembly is disclosed. The assembly is characterised by a novel biasing means with two downwardly extending arms, which are located around the pinch portion of the bulb. The biasing means has an outwardly extending end portion, which when depressed, causes the two arms to open outwards, away from said pinch portion so that the biasing means does not foul against the pinch portion, nor does the pinch portion obstruct the spring action of said biasing means. The radially inward force developed as result of the opening of the downwardly extending arms is approximately 75 % higher as compared to the prior art assemblies making the lamp assembly of the present invention more rigid and strong.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de libération rapide et une tête destinée à un respirateur. Ce mécanisme de libération rapide utilise un verrou à came fixé de façon pivotante à une fourche afin de commander la tension dans une bride de tension supérieure. En position verrouillée la bride de tension supérieure traverse la fourche de façon à supporter et à étanchéifier le masque de respirateur contre le visage de l'utilisateur. En position déverrouillée les brides de tension supérieures supportent le masque de manière lâche en dessous du menton de l'utilisateur en position d'attente. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un guide est prévu sur la fourche de façon à faire en sorte que le masque puissent être mis en place et dégagé de manière uniforme avec un minimum d'effort ( par exemple une mise en place et un dégagement possible avec une seule main). Une ouverture peut aussi être pratiquée dans le masque frontal et éventuellement dans la fourche, et un filtre peut être placé dans cette ouverture de façon à offrir le filtrage souhaité des gaz inhalés.

Abstract: A traction control apparatus for a vehicle sets an allowable slip ratio (Ss)
to a constant value Shigh that is rather great (410), when the shift position of a
sub-transmission is in the high-speed mode "H4", or the shift position of the sub-transmission is in the low-speed mode
"L4" and the difference (ΔVw) between the maximum value and the minimum value
among wheel speeds of each driving wheel is less than a wheel speed
difference threshold value (Vref). On the other hand, when the shift position of
the sub-transmission is in "L4" and the difference (ΔVw) is not less than the wheel
speed difference threshold value (Vref), the traction control apparatus for the
vehicle of the present invention sets the allowable slip ratio (Ss) to a constant
value (Slow) that is smaller than the above-mentioned constant value (425). In case
where the slip ratio of each driving wheel exceeds the allowable slip ratio
set as described above, predetermined braking force is exerted on each
driving wheel so as to place the slip ratio of each driving wheel within the
allowable slip ratio.
