Abstract: The invention concerns a dispenser consisting of a housing (1) comprising a slot (13A), for delivering a flat object (41), a cover (2) sliding on said housing open top surface and spring means (3) pressing a stack (4) of flat objects against the cover. When the cover (2) slides it drives the object arranged at the top of the stack (4) so as to dispense it through the outlet slot (13A) arranged on the housing front face (13). The housing is provided with a support tab (11) thereby enabling the housing to be easily loaded and preventing a premature delivery of an object through the housing rear. The spring means (3) comprise a supporting plate (30) preventing the stack of objects (4) from being warped. The dispenser is designed in such a way that the flat objects are not bent during storage or delivery.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de production d'articles symétriques en rotation qui sont faits d'une tôle métallique et qui possèdent une forme à courbure double ainsi qu'une épaisseur variable, notamment des tuyères de fusée. Un certain nombre d'ébauches consistant en des pièces planes faites de tôle métallique sont découpées selon une forme partiellement circulaire et de type anneau. Ces ébauches-pièces sont ensuite pliées selon une courbure voulue puis soudées les unes aux autres de manière à former une ébauche de l'article qui sera soumise à un usinage final. D'après cette invention, les ébauches-pièces sont formées en soudant les uns aux autres un certain nombre de morceaux de tôle métallique de type bande, lesquels morceaux possèdent des épaisseurs différentes le long de leurs bords droits lorsqu'ils sont disposés à plat et côte-à-côte. On obtient ainsi une plaque de tôle métallique dont la largeur correspond à la longueur totale de l'article, l'épaisseur du matériau dont sont faits les morceaux diminuant graduellement d'un côté à l'autre de ladite plaque. Cette plaque de tôle métallique est ensuite découpée selon la forme d'une ébauche-pièce de la tuyère qui possède une forme partiellement circulaire et de type anneau. L'ébauche-pièce de la tuyère est pliée, puis les ébauches-pièces sont soudées les unes aux autres le long de leurs côtés adjacents droits et non parallèles de manière à former l'ébauche finale de l'article qui sera finalement soumise à un usinage de finition si nécessaire.

Title: Thin film formation process
Inventor: IWANE MASAAKI
IPC: H01L21/20
Filed: 1998-03-24
Granted: 2004-09-01
Abstract: A process for thin film formation is provided which comprises a step of separation of a substrate constituted of a nonporous Si layer, a porous Si layer formed thereon, and a less porous Si layer formed further thereon into the nonporous Si layer and the less porous Si layer at the porous Si layer, wherein the separation is caused by projecting a laser beam through the side face of the substrate. From the separated substrate, an SOI substrate is prepared, and the non porous Si layer is recycled to the SOI substrate production process. This SOI substrate production process saves the consumption of the material and lowers the production cost. The substrates are separated definitely. A process for producing a photoelectric transducing apparatus such as solar cells with material saving and low cost is also provided in which the porous layer is separated definitely without strong adhesion between the substrate and a jig. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The utilization of di-glycerol-phosphate as a stabiliser of enzymes and other cell components or cells, namely against heat, freezing, desiccation, lyophilization or repeated usage, is disclosed. Examples with rubredoxin, lactate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase show that this compound is a better protecting agent than glycerol. This solute is produced by organic chemical synthesis readily and efficiently in three steps from commercially available glycerol in its racemic forms. The optically pure forms can be synthesised in four steps from commercially available D-mannitol. Di-glycerol-phosphate is obtained in a highly pure state without the necessity of complicated and tedious purification procedures.

Abstract: An array processor includes processing elements arranged in clusters which are, in turn, combined in a rectangular array. Each cluster is formed of processing elements which preferably communicate with the processing elements of at least two other clusters. Additionally each inter-cluster communication path is mutually exclusive, that is, each path carries either north and west, south and east, north and east, or south and west communications. Due to the mutual exclusivity of the data paths, communications between the processing elements of each cluster may be combined in a single inter-cluster path. That is, communications from a cluster which communicates to the north and east with another cluster may be combined in one path, thus eliminating half the wiring required for the path. Additionally, the length of the longest communication path is not directly determined by the overall dimension of the array, as it is in conventional torus arrays. Rather, the longest communications path is limited only by the inter-cluster spacing. In one implementation, transpose elements of an N x N torus are combined in clusters and communicate with one another through intra-cluster communications paths. Since transpose elements have direct connections to one another, transpose operation latency is eliminated in this approach. Additionally, each PE may have a single transmit port and a single receive port. As a result, the individual PEs are decoupled from the topology of the array.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for operating an electrochemical fuel cell with periodic momentary fuel starvation at the anode. It is believed that such momentary periodic fuel starvation conditions cause the anode potential to increase, resulting in the oxidation and removal of electrocatalyst poisons from the anode electrocatalyst and improved fuel cell performance. In a preferred method, while successive localized portions of the fuel cell anode are momentarily periodically fuel starved, the remainder of the fuel cell anode remains electrochemically active and saturated with fuel such that the fuel cell is continually available to generate power.

Abstract: A falling film of water is applied around the periphery of a fluid bed olefin polymerization reactor to cool the wall and reduce the temperature in the fluid bed near the inside surface of the wall. Cooling has the effect of reducing static in the reactor, which in turn ameliorates a sheeting problem and can enhance production by facilitating control of the relation of the reactor temperature and the dew point of recycled gas. The process may be used concurrently with a gas cooling and condensing recycle system wherein at least some of the condensed recycle gas is injected in the vicinity of the internal wall surface. <IMAGE>
