Patent EP-0260640-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OGINO HIDEKAZU
IPC: C11D1/74
Filed: 1987-09-14
Abstract: A water-soluble viscosity increasing agent consisting essentially of: (i) an ester of a 40 to 400 moles ethylene oxide adduct of polyhydric alcohol and a C 8-36  branched fatty acid, (ii) an ester of polyethylene glycol having average molecular weight of 2,000 to 20,000 and a C 8-36  branched fatty acid, and (iii) a 40 to 400 mole ethylene oxide adduct of an ester of a polyhydric alcohol and a C 8-36  branched fatty acid. The viscosity increasing agent can increase the viscosity of solutions of various surface active agents, while maintaining their stability and solubility in the solutions. When it is formulated to a detergent suitable for washing textiles, tablewares, human skins, hairs and the like, it can provide a detergent composition with a proper viscosity as well as a good detergency.

Abstract: Information including pictures, sounds, and characters is inputted. A form of the inputted information is converted into a prescribed format in accordance with properties of the information, and thus converted information is derived. A first storage means holds the inputted information and/or the converted information. The information held in the first storage means is edited, and thus edited information is derived. A reproduction sequence is generated. A second storage means holds the edited information. The information held in the first storage means and/or the second storage means is reproduced in the reproduction sequence to allow a check on the information and the reproduction sequence. The information held in the first storage means or the second storage means is outputted for manufacturing a recording medium.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing resource allocations is disclosed which utilizes the Karmarkar algorithm to proceed in the interior of the solution space polytope. At least one allocation variable is assumed to be unconstrained in value. Each successive approximation of the solution point, and the polytope, are normalized such that the solution point is at the center of the normalized polytope using a diagonal matrix of the current solution point. The objective function is then projected into the normalized space and the next step is taken in the interior of the polytope, in the direction of steepest-descent of the objective function gradient and of such a magnitude as to remain within the interior of the polytope. The process is repeated until the optimum solution is closely approximated. 
     The resulting algorithm steps are advantageously applied to the phase one problem of obtaining a starting point, and to the dual problem, where the free variable assumption produces unexpected computational advantages.

Abstract: A packaging carton (e.g. for cans (31) of drink) com­prises a reinforcing tape (18) incorporated in the board material from which the carton is formed which tape rein­forces a carrying handle (20) defined by two parallel cuts formed in an end wall of the carton. Access to the contents of the carton are obtained by defining access flaps (23, 24) delimited by lines of weakness (22a, 22b) which extend up to the cuts defining the carrying handle. By locating the handle (20) in the median plane between two rows of cans, free passage of cans from the opening provided by an access flap is prevented by the handle, thus ensuring one-by-one dispensing of the cans from the carton.

Abstract: An injection device which is devised to be safer in use than many prior such devices comprises a generally cylindrical barrel section (4, 42) which is substantially closed at its first end but has an aperture (6, 43) in that end to allow an injection needle (9, 41) to pass through it, a needle support member (10, 40, 60) to slide within the barrel section and shaped to receive one end of a liquid container such as an ampoule (12, 52, 61) of anaesthetic, and a plunger (7, 45, 62) mounted at the other end of the barrel section for axial movement in said section. The plunger is adapted both to express liquid from the liquid container when the plunger is advanced within the barrel and also to interconnect with either the needle support member of the liquid container, whereby withdrawal of the plunger withdraws both the liquid container and also the needle and its support member into the barrel section for disposal.

Abstract: The device for locating the epidural space being proposed is based on the depression existing at that space. It consists of a circuit and a canula (1) with its correspond­ing needle. 
     Once the circuit is connected, a puncture is carried out with the canula (1) up to the surroundings of the yellow li­gament, being fixed at this position by means of a fixation ele­ment (5) which is displaced up to the patient's back. The needle (3) is inserted into the canula (1) and it continues punching until reaching the epidural space, what happens when the circuit is triggered due to the existing depression, a/some alarm/s and an electromagnet (16) being thereby activated, the latter attract­ing the needle (3) and inserting it into a sleeve (2). With the si­multaneous displacement of the latter (2) and of the needle (3), one reaches the centre of the epidural space, situated 2 mm away from the circuit triggering position, this being the ma­ximum sleeve displacement distance.

Even number terms and odd number terms of the error location polynomial are separated and predetermined values are put into each x of the separated even number terms and a (α -m ) and σ' (ω -m ) are produced simultaneously erasure correction is made by regarding points as corrected when a condition of  
deg σ* (x) > deg ω*(x) is established based on ω*(x) = σ*(x) •S (x), which is obtained by a multiplication of an error location polynomial σ*(x) and the syndrome polynomial S(x), where σ*(x) is the error location polynomial formed by values corresponding to error locations indicated by the pointers.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, such as a silicon MOS FET, having diffusion regions with a reduced depth and high dopant concentration, is disclosed. Beneath the surface of the relevant semi­conductor substrate, an amorphous layer is formed cor­responding to the diffusion regions in advance, following which a doped polysilicon layer is formed. Thereafter, the polysilicon layer is doped employing a dopant ion implantation such that the peak point of the dopant concentration distribution is located substan­tially near the interface between the silicon substrate and the polysilicon layer. Subsequently, the substrate is subject to a rapid thermal annealing for diffusing the dopant from the doped polysilicon layer, recrystal­lizing the amorphous layer portion, and activating the dopant contained in the recrystallized layer portion to be the diffusion regions. A silicide layer is used in the place of the polysilicon layer to have a high elec­trical conductance.
