Abstract: Carbon molecular sieves, useful in the separation of air into oxygen and nitrogen, are improved through modification of the micropores of the sieve by contact with the pyrolysis products of a carbon-containing compound in the gaseous state diluted with helium, with or without nitrogen as a part of the diluting gas. Volatile organic compounds, such as trimethylcyclohexane, are used with the diluent gas to narrow the micropore openings of a carbon molecular sieve and increase its kinetic selectivity for oxygen adsorption. Carbon dioxide and helium or argon in the diluent gas are used to open pores available to contacting gases.

Abstract: A reinsertable sealing closure (10) for sealing the open ends of vessels (11), such as sample collection tubes, for example, vacuum blood collection vials, comprises a two component molded stopper, having a sealing portion (14) of sealing grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), for sealing the mouth of the container, and a second portion (12) thermally bonded thereto, providing a seal support structure connecting with an exterior skirt. The closure is injection molded by way of a two-shot process, enabling the selective use of a reduced quantity of sealing grade TPE for the sealing component, secured in bonded relation with lower cost polyolefin interior and exterior support elements. The closure provides long term sealing integrity, while permitting access to the tube contents by way of a hollow needle or cannula inserted axially through a needle acceptance zone of the closure. A drop-containment reservoir surrounding the needle acceptance zone, on the crow of the closure, can receive and contain any stray drops of the tube contents, which may occur upon withdrawal of the needle from the closure, which provision is highly desireable in the case of blood samples, which may be AIDS contaminated. The closure may be incinerated without the generation of toxic products.

Abstract: A computer system for speech recognition is described which, using a microphone, an acoustic transducer and a processor, converts speech text into digitized phonemes. By means of training texts, the phonemes and the words to be recognized by the computer system are stored in a memory means. In conjunction with a text subsequently dictated by the speaker, the uttered and the stored phonemes are compared. Using statistical methods and models, the computer system detects those phonemes and, based thereon, the speaker's utterance. There are natural phonemes, meaning actual utterances, and artificial phonemes which are artificially generated by the computer system in the training phase. Thus, an artificial phoneme is provided which is associated with pauses occurring between the components of a compound word. By detecting this interval, the word can be split into its components which are separately processed. Also provided are artificial phonemes resembling at least two natural phonemes. This allows combining different phoneme sequences of one and the same word to a single phoneme sequence. By using artificial phonemes, the memory space required is reduced. At the same time, the compare steps for the uttered and stored phonemes are reduced, which increases the processing speed of the computer sytem.

Abstract: On-column enrichment is provided for a sample (105) having both polar and nonpolar analytes by mixing (302) the sample with surfactant in a polar solvent. The surfactant causes the nonpolar analytes to be incorporated in micelles that dissolve in the polar solvent. The concentration of surfactant is maintained at a level sufficient to maintain the micelles as the mixture is introduced (303) onto the head (204) of a chromatographic column (110). Once sample introduction is completed, the mixture is diluted (304) so that the surfactant concentration drops below that required to maintain the micelles, which thus break up. The analytes are then separated (305) using reverse-phase gradient elution.

Abstract: Two substrates 11, 13 are mounted on opposite sides of a structural frame 12. On the exterior side of each substrate are mounted one or more discrete clusters of chips 22. The frame includes interior passages through which cooling fluid is conducted. The frame also includes an array of cross-over cell cavities 16, each being aligned with a corresponding cross-over cell pad array on the adjacent substrate. Slugs of elastomeric one-directional conductive material are placed in each cavity. The slugs nominally are substantially the same volume as the cavity; but until compressed fit only loosely in the cavity. The two substrates are mated, which compresses the elastomeric material a predetermined amount. The slugs expand to fill and firmly lodge in their cavities, and make vertical electrical connection to the pad arrays. The result is an assembly of two (or more) multi-chip module boards with internal cross-over cells which are sealed from contaminant and stabilized in their electrical conductivity by the close control over compressive forces and internal temperatures made possible by the invention.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hard sintered cutting tool, the tool life of which can be further increased. In this hard sintered body cutting tool, a rake face of an edge portion is formed by a major surface of a first sintered body layer containing at least 80 percent by volume and less than 98 percent by volume of diamond, while a flank of the edge portion is formed by a second sintered body layer containing at least 30 percent by volume and less than 75 percent by volume of cubic boron nitride (CBN). The first sintered body layer is formed to have a thickness of at least 0.02 mm and less than 0.1 mm, and to be in a thickness ratio of at least 1:5 to the second sintered body layer. Thus, chipping resistance of the rake face is improved by the first sintered body layer, while wear resistance of the flank is improved by the second sintered body layer. As the result, it is possible to suppress progress of local wear and chipping, whereby the life of the cutting tool is increased as compared with the prior art.
