Patent EP-0399733-A3 (EP)
Title: Apparatus and method for measuring a prescribed volume of liquid
IPC: G01F11/28
Filed: 1990-05-18
Abstract: An improvement in apparatus and method for 
measuring a prescribed volume of liquid by flowing the 
liquid into a reservoir RR and sensing the level LL of 
the liquid in the reservoir RR to determine when a 
known volume is reached places that level LL within a 
portion of the reservoir having a much-reduced cross-­
sectional area aa compared to the cross-sectional area 
AA of the remainder of the reservoir such that any 
inaccuracy in the sensing of the level LL to determine 
when the known volume is reached results in only a 
minimal deviation in the measured volume of liquid from 
the prescribed volume of liquid.

Patent EP-0414524-A3 (EP)
Title: Multiple zone audio system
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 1990-08-22
Abstract: An audio system may be monitored and controlled from one of many remote locations. The audio sources are located at a central location, however, the signals monitored at a remote location may originate from the same or a different source as the signal being monitored at the central location or any other location. The sources are selected and routed to speakers by at least two independent selectors, and the volume is controlled by associated volume controllers, either in the speakers or at the central location. Control of the system is simplified through the use of one or more radio frequency remote controls. Commands issued to the system from a remote control are verified by a verification signal added to the output signal on the appropriate output channels. To alleviate confusion, remote controls retain exclusive control over the source and output they most recently controlled. General function keys on the remote controls are used to control specific functions of the currently selected source, but may map to functions in more than one source.

Patent EP-0460414-A3 (EP)
Title: Culture and detection method for sterile-filterable autonomously replicating biological particles
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 1991-05-06
Abstract: Novel autonomously replicating biological particles resembling bacteria and having most surprising properties were discovered from cell culture sera and other biological samples alleged to be sterile according to the current testing methods. These slowly growing agents named Nanobacteria are smaller than any known cell-walled bacteria. They pass through sterile filters, even with pore sizes smaller than their diameter. They cannot be cultured on any standard microbiological media. With the isolation and detection methods provided here they are commonly detectable in animal or human serum. This patent holds for methods of their culture, detection, purification, and elimination and described the necessary reagents for that. Autonomously replicating particles can be cultured in RPMI 1640, or in DMEM, or in other cell culture media. Optimal growth can be obtained by supplementing the culture medium with 10-20% sterile fetal bovine serum. Addition of small amounts of D,L or L selenomethionine together with nucleotide precursors may improve growth. Culture is started by addition of the test sample to the medium in a cell culture vial which is thereafter incubated under standard mammalian cell culture conditions for at least 15 days. Biological samples are preferably sterile-filtered before culture through 0.22 micron filters. The growth of Nanobacteria, if present, can be seen using microscopy at high magnification. The organisms can be made more visible by DNA staining and immunostaining done either separately or simultaneously to a fixed preparation. Nanobacteria can be cultured without mammalian cells, but co-culture together with an adherent cell line like 3T6 is useful because 3T6 cells can take Nanobacteria inside the cells. This aids the staining of the preparations. Intracellular agents are not lost during fixation and staining. Nanobacterial antigens can be prepared by specific culture, harvest, purification and solubilization methods. Immunization of rabbits with the solubilized antigen (treatment with proteinase K and with 1 N HCI) produces highly specific antibodies to Nanobacteria. Gamma-irradiation of culture serum at 2.5-4.0 megarads, preferably in addition with treatment using solid-phase bound antibodies enables preparation of Nanobacteria-free serum. Use of this serum creates sterile culture medium for the culture and detection of Nanobacteria. Double staining combining Hoechst No. 33258 stain and immunofluorescence specifically distinguishes Nanobacteria from other cell culture contaminants.

Filed: 1993-11-19
Abstract: A system for interconnecting widely separated local
area networks (LANs) (11,12) by means of a wide area network (WAN) (10)
utilizes network level facilities to establish a connection
through the wide area network and to create
connection table entries at the WAN access point (13,14) which
allow subsequent data frames to be transmitted through the
wide area network without such network level operations.
More particularly, the various LANs are combined into
search groups, represented by address prefixes, to which
LAN-initiated connection requests can be broadcast and
which can respond so as to establish the data path
connections. This system has the connection flexibility
of a prior art router and, at the same time, the low
overhead of a prior art bridge.

Patent EP-0752649-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DE VANTER MICHAEL L
IPC: G06F9/06
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: A user-friendly editor for structurally represented computer programs is
disclosed. The present editor combines advantages of text editors and
structure editors by transforming, as the user types, the event stream
stream entered by the user into a token stream, where the tokens of the
token stream constitute the words of the program being entered. Each of
the tokens is classified by the editor as one of group of extended lexemes
defined by the language in which the program being edited is written.
These extended lexemes are defined similar to lexemes that might be used
in a batch lexer, but are more numerous as the present editor must
account for the incomplete and ill-formed lexemes that arise as the user
types the program. Based on information in the token stream, the editor
prettyprints the program as the user types. The editor also allows the
user to edit the program from the prettyprinted display as if the program
were internally represented as text. The present editor also allows the
user to periodically request a syntactical analysis of the program, wherein
the structure of the program is represented in a syntax tree that
references the token stream.

Abstract: Bei Anwendung bekannter CVD-Verfahren zur Belegung der
Oberfläche eines mit einem Gateoxid versehenen SiC-Substrats
mit dem als Gatematerial dienenden Silizium, entstehen im Bereich
der Grenzfläche Oxid/SiC ortsfeste positive Ladungen,
deren extrem hohe effektive Dichte (Q tot  > 10 12  cm -2 ) die elektrischen
Eigenschaften des fertigen Bauelements nachteilig
beeinflußt. 
     Die Erfindung löst dieses Problem durch eine Modifikation
der Abscheidbedingungen für das als Gatematerial dienende Silizium.
So wird das Silizium bei einer Temperatur T < 580°C
aus der Gasphase abgeschieden und dadurch amorph aufgebracht.
Während der sich anschließenden Dotierung (Eindiffundieren
von Phosphor bei T > 800°C) geht das amorphe Silizium
in den polykristallinen Zustand über. Da die kristallinen Bereiche
in der Siliziumschicht vergleichsweise unbehindert und
frei von mechanischen Spannungen wachsen können, liegt die
effektive Dichte der im Gateoxid entstehenden negativen
Grenzflächenladungen bei Werten Q tot  < 10 11  cm -2 . 
     Das Verfahren kommt insbesondere bei der Herstellung von
MOSFETs, MOS-Kondensatoren usw. zur Anwendung.
