Abstract: A steering column assembly for arranging in an area of a steering column in a motor vehicle comprises a locating device, a centrally arranged support board, and at least one steering column switch. The locating device comprises a receptacle for the support board and at least one laterally-aligned receptacle for the steering column switch. The support board establishes electrical connection between the connections of the steering column switch and the vehicle's control devices allocated to the steering column switch. The control devices allocated to the steering column switch are at least in part arranged on the support board. The ease of servicing such a known steering column assembly is decisively improved in that the receptacle for the support board is radially aligned and the support board can be connected to the locating device from a radial direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a printed circuit board provided with at least one component having one or more leads which are secured to contact faces of the printed circuit board. In accordance with the invention, the leads of the component are secured to the printed circuit board via wire clamps soldered onto the surface of the contact faces. The formation of through-holes in the printed circuit board is rendered superfluous by said wire clamps. For the leaded components use can be made of resistors and capacitors, but also of a single electroconductive wire. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing the invented printed circuit board.

Abstract: In the transformation of rice, there have been
employed nptII as a selective marker gene (drug resistance
gene) and kanamycin, G418, etc. as selection drugs.
However, only low transformation efficiency can be
established thereby. It his therefore been required to
establish a rice transformation system with the use of a
novel combination to achieve high efficiency. According to
the present invention, it is possible to transform rice with
remarkably high efficiency by using paromomycin as a novel
selection drug.

Abstract: Light metal/CFRP-made structural members which are characterized in that they are
structural materials in which a CFRP material is stuck to the surface of a light metal
material via an adhesive agent layer of thickness at least 10 µm and up to 500 µm,
and the volume resistivity of the adhesive agent layer between said metal material
and said CFRP material is at least 1 x 10 13  Ω·cm and, furthermore, the adhesive
strength at room temperature is at least 15 MPa. 
     In accordance with the present invention, since conventional light metal/CFRP
structural materials can be made lighter and, furthermore, since the resistance to
galvanic corrosion is outstanding and it is possible to markedly enhance the strength
and the impact energy absorption performance, the development of applications and
large-scale expansion into new fields becomes possible. Weight reduction and
enhancing the durability and reliability of structures also makes a considerable
contribution in terms of environmental protection.

Abstract: Des acides arylcarboxyliques, en particulier des acides arylcarboxyliques polycycliques, sont séparés de composants catalytiques résiduels au moyen d'un procédé de séparation de phases. On évite ainsi d'utiliser la distillation à pression réduite avec ses coûts d'investissement et de fonctionnement élevés qui l'accompagnent. Ce procédé de séparation de phases fournit également un résidu catalytique organosoluble actif, pouvant être réutilisé par recyclage, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à une régénération catalytique. Ainsi, une aryloléfine est amenée à réagir avec du monoxyde de carbone et de l'eau en présence d'un catalyseur au palladium et d'un ligand à l'organophosphine, pour former une masse de réaction comprenant: (a) de l'acide arylcarboxylique, et (b) des espèces catalytiques résiduelles. Cette masse de réaction est traitée avec une base inorganique aqueuse pour former: (i) une phase aqueuse contenant un sel hydrosoluble dissous de l'acide arylcarboxylique, et (ii) une phase organique contenant des espèces catalytiques résiduelles dissoutes. Ces phases sont séparées, et au moins une partie de la phase séparée (ii) est recyclée pour servir à réaliser d'autres réactions. Souvent, en plus des phases (i) et (ii), une phase solide contenant une partie des valeurs catalytiques au palladium est présente, et ces particules solides sont de préférence récupérées (par exemple par filtrage) et, si elles n'ont pas une activité catalytique suffisante pour être recyclées, au moins une partie est convertie en un composant catalytique au palladium actif pouvant servir dans des réactions ultérieures. Cette séparation de phases permet ainsi de séparer des résidus catalytiques sous forme de solution organique et sous forme de particules solides, tout en isolant simultanément le produit désiré sous forme de solution d'eau.

Abstract: Maintaining dynamic categories for speech rules in a speech recognition system which has a plurality of speech rules each comprising a language model and action. Each speech rule indicates whether the language model includes a flag identifying whether the words in the language model is dynamic according to changing data in the speech recognition system. At periodic intervals, such as system initialization or application program launch time, for each flag in each speech rule which indicates that words in the language model are dynamic, the words of each of the language model(s) are updated depending upon the state of the system. Concurrent with the determination of acoustic features during speech recognition, a current language model can be created based upon the language models from these speech rules. Also, speech rules are partitioned according to the context in which they are active. When speech is detected, concurrent with acoustic feature extraction, the current state of the computer system is used to determine which rules are active and how they are to be combined in order to generate a language model for word recognition. Also, partitioning speech recognition rules for generation of a current language model and interpretation in a speech recognition system is described. Rapid and efficient generation of a language model upon the detection of a current context at a second interval (e.g. upon the detection of speech in one embodiment) then may be performed.
