Abstract: An ion implantation method includes scanning
reciprocatingly an ion beam in an X direction by an electric
field or magnetic field and mechanically driving
reciprocatingly a substrate in a Y direction orthogonal to the
X direction to implant ions over the entire surface of the
substrate. A dose distribution that is non-uniform within the
plane of the substrate is formed within the plane of the substrate
by changing at least one of a scanning speed of the ion beam
and a driving speed of the substrate within an area where the
ion beam is incident on the substrate.

Abstract: A vehicle-supervising electronic control unit (VS-ECU)
(61) measures driving torque, which is outputted from an
engine (11) to a drive shaft (15) through an automatic
transmission (13). The VS-ECU (61) measures road surface
transmission torque based on rotation speeds of driving wheels
(19RL, 19RR) of a vehicle, vehicle body speed and driving
wheel torque, which are measured in advance. The VS-ECU (61)
compares the driving torque with the road surface transmission
torque. If it is determined that the driving torque is
greater than the road surface transmission torque, the VS-ECU
(61) estimates an opening degree of an air bypass valve (79)
for controlling the driving torque so that a difference
between the driving torque and the road surface transmission
torque is decreased.

Abstract: A striking circuit of the pilot arc for plasma arc
torches (25), comprising a low power impulse generator
(27), suitable for striking the pilot arc between the
cathode (28) and auxiliary anode (29), which is positioned
inside the torch body (25) and kept separate from
the direct current generator (20), which feeds both the
pilot arc and the main arc, until the arc has been permanently
struck; the separation of the part of the circuit
in which the low power impulses are present is obtained
by using an insulated inductor (37), with a ferrite separation
nucleus between the feeder (21) and the torch body
(25), and a discharger (41), situated in series with the
impulse generator (27), associated with an oscillator and
an amplifier, so as to obtain, between the high voltage
outlet of the impulse generator (27) and the earth (31),
high voltage impulses, having a frequency of about 250
kHz. The electromagnetic emissions are thus reduced during
the functioning of the torch (25) and the whole system
is more compact, reliable and functional, with respect

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins
in a single step assay using a dry slide. The method for quantifying cholesterol in
high-density lipoprotein comprises a first step of adding a sample onto a multi-layered
dry slide wherein at least one of the layers contains phosphotungstic acid
and another contains a high-density lipoprotein selective surfactant. The
phosphotungstic acid precipitates non-high-density lipoproteins while the high-density
lipoprotein selective surfactant only solubilizes high-density lipoproteins
and does not solubilize non-HDL precipitated complexes. The cholesterol
esterase then reacts with the solubilized HDL cholesterol esters to form
cholesterol. Finally the cholesterol in the high-density lipoprotein is detected and
quantified.

material near the open end such that product can be inserted into each of the
individual bags through the die-cut formed in the base material. Once the product
is inserted into the bag (14), a heat seal (70) is formed across the bag (14) beneath the die-cut
opening. Once sealed, each of the individual bags is separated from the continuous
web along a series of perforations. The series of perforations extend from the die-cut
to the side edge of the continuous web (10) such that the width of the die-cut can be
