Abstract: Provided is a method of facilitating the manufacture of single
crystal substrates of silicon carbide and the like even with a large surface
area by employing a method of dividing a crystal layer or substrate of
silicon carbide or the like into plate-shape. The first method comprises
the steps of forming a fracture layer over all or at least a portion of one of
the principal surfaces of a first substrate; forming a second single crystal
layer over the fracture layer on the first substrate to a thickness
affording adequate self-sustaining strength; and cutting at the fracture
layer formed on the first substrate to separate the second single crystal
layer from the first substrate and obtain a single crystal substrate. The
second method comprises the steps of forming an ion implantation layer
by implanting ions into all or at least a portion of the surface of one of
the principal surfaces of a first substrate; forming a second single
crystal layer on the ion-implanted principal surface to a thickness
affording adequate self-sustaining strength, heating the composite
substrate obtained to form a void layer by forming voids in the ion
implantation layer formed on said first substrate; and cutting said first
substrate at said void layer to separate the second single crystal layer
from the first substrate and obtain a single crystal substrate. The third
method comprises the steps of forming by anodization a porous layer on
all or at least a portion of one of the principal surfaces of a first
substrate; forming a second single crystal layer on said porous layer of

Abstract: An automatic transmission inputs the motive power via a lock-up
clutch, and when shifting from a first shift speed to a second
shift speed, the shifting from the first shift speed to the second
shift speed is performed by continuously performing the shift
control of a previous phase in which a first engagement element is
disengaged and a third engagement element is engaged, and the
shift control of a subsequent phase in which a second engagement
element is disengaged and a fourth engagement element is engaged.
When shifting from the first shift speed to the second shift speed
during lock up, a lock-up control unit 51 prevents reengagement of
a lock-up clutch 21, which has been disengaged at the start of the
shifting, at the completion of the shifting of the previous phase.
Thereby, lock-up reengagement during shifting is eliminated and
the occurrence of phased shock is prevented.

Abstract: The present invention provides a printing process and a printed product in
which a coating is combined with an additive that lowers the surface tension of the
dried coating. The coating pattern is printed on a substrate, and is cured using
electron beam ("EB") processing. An ink is printed on top of the dried coating
pattern. The ink flows away from the coating due to the difference in surface
tension, forming a pattern of raised ink between the pattern and the coating.

Abstract: A system for drying chemical reagents on material, particularly for producing
product used in making reagent test strips is described. By drying selected chemicals on
substrate drawn past a radiant energy source (preferably an IR source), rapid drying may be
achieved while obtaining high-quality product. Airflow sufficient to break or disturb a vapor
boundary layer above drying solution may be provided to increase drying speeds. Any
airflow provided should not disturb the surface of the solution. Still, air-impingement drying
techniques may be employed in the system to finish drying reagent material once it is
sufficiently dry to be stable in shape. The substrate upon which chemicals are dried may
include a reflective coating to facilitate its use with high levels of radiant energy. A metallic
or metalized substrate is advantageously used in producing electrochemical test strips. Such
test strips may be used in conjunction with various kits and be conveniently read using
known hand-held meters.

Abstract: Steam turbine speed-control systems often incorporate pilot valves for the
purpose of controlling the position of hydraulic actuators for steam valves. However,
the operational efficiency of these pilot valves can suffer from imperfections due to
manufacturing defects, wear, and the like, thereby impairing the control system's
overall performance. For these reasons, this disclosure relates to a method for
overcoming a faulty pilot valve by incorporating a control system (including
additional controllers) dedicated to the pilot valve. In this type setup, not only can the
position of the pilot valve be a control variable, but the velocity of actuation of this
valve can also be used as another control variable. Therefore, the results of separate
controllers, using these two control variables, can be combined to improve the
dynamic response of the steam turbine speed-control system.

Abstract: A procedure for obtaining curd (bovine rennin) by the
expression, not of the sequencing of its natural gene, but
of an artificial gene, synthetic and optimised following
certain rules of use of triplets in DNA, is described.
Preferably, this expression is made with filamentous fungi,
especially with GRAS status, and particularly Aspergillus
niger, awamori variant. The synthesis of optimised genes
for filamentous fungi, carried out here for the first time
for chymosin, allows us to obtain high levels of
expression, which means that the procedure is useful for
the industrial production of this valuable protein.
Chymosin is obtained extra-cellularly, using a plasmid with
a fungal secretion signal, thus allowing for its
purification by the supernatants from the growth of this
fungus, for use in the food industry.

Abstract: A method and package for controlled metered dispensing of a fluid product contained in the package having a metered dispensing system, each time the package is opened or uncapped are disclosed. By the present method and package, the maximum amount of product that can be dispensed is limited to a single metered dose after each uncapping of the package. Specifically, the metered dispensing system is configured to allow dispensing of only a single metered dose of a liquid, viscous liquid, gel, paste, or semi-solid product contained in the package and to prevent further dispensing of additional doses of product until at least one specific and deliberate step is taken that re-activates or re-engages the dispensing system. Such deliberate step is preferably one that occurs through natural use of the package, such as re-capping the open package after one single dose has been dispensed. Only after the open package has been re-capped can the next dose of product be available for dispensing. Thus, the system provides child resistance by preventing a child or other person who does not have the mental capacity to comprehend the threat of serious injury from contact with or improper use of the product, from gaining access to more than a single dose of the product each time the package is uncapped.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of depositing a layer of metal and to a method of regenerating a solution containing metal ions in a high oxidation state. To regenerate tin ions consumed from a tin plating solution by metal deposition, it has been known in the art to carry the plating solution over metallic tin to cause tin (II) ions to form. However, the amount of tin contained in thus regenerated baths slowly and continuously increases. The solution to this problem is to utilize an electrolytic regeneration cell that is provided with at least one auxiliary cathode and with at least one auxiliary anode. Tin serving for regeneration is electrolytically deposited from the solution onto the at least one auxiliary cathode in the electrolytic regeneration cell. The solution is carried over the tin serving for regeneration in order to reduce formed tin (IV) ions to tin (II) ions.
