Abstract: La pré-amorphisation d'une couche superficielle de silicium cristallin sur une infime épaisseur (p.ex., inférieure à 100 nm) apporte une solution aux problèmes de fabrication au moyen (1) d'une haute conduction thermique dans le silicium cristallin et (2) d'effets d'ombrage et de télescopage des diffractions par une porte déjà fabriquée d'un transistor à effet de champ sur rayonnement laser incident. Dans le passé, ces problèmes ont empêché d'utiliser efficacement le dopage laser par immersion de gaz de projection, de la technique antérieure, dans la fabrication de circuits intégrés comprenant des transistors à effet de champ MOS utilisant une technologie de jonction au 100 nm, voire encore moins.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultra-high purity gas generator system, such as a hydrogen gas generator system and method, which employs a direct current source to supply proportional electrical current to a cathode in an electrolyte cell. The system comprises a metal cathode gas generator for hydrogen gas and a DC current for the metal cathode, wherein the output DC line current is continuously modified by a control circuit, which modifies the pulse width into the DC source, based on the variation in hydrogen gas pressure or flow from the cell. In the system and method, direct current is supplied to the palladium or palladium alloy cathode of an electrolytic cell, and the direct current is controlled or switched by monitoring the gas flow or pressure in the cell by a pressure or flow transducer, providing the output voltage to a control circuit. The control circuit modulates the width of the pulses of a high frequency inverter and its modified and filtered output is supplied to the cell as a proportional, continuous straight line current source.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for eliminating interference in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) radio receiver In the method, coded signals that are transmitted on subcarriers are received, reliability information generated for the signals being used in their soft decoding In accordance with the invention, the signal-to-interference ration of the subcarrier is used as the reliability information, the signal-to-interference ratio being defined by dividing the amplitude of the received signal by the interference amplitude. The interference amplitude is generated by calculating the deviation of the amplitudes of a set of selected signals from the average amplitude level of the set of signals. The average amplitude level of the set of signals is the mean value, median or some other statistical quantity indicative of the average level of the amplitudes of the set of signals. The deviation from the average amplitude level of the set of signals is the standard deviation, variance or some other statistical deviation-indicating quality of the set of signals. The amplitudes of the set of signals are selected from successive symbols in the time domain and/or from adjacent subcarriers in the frequency domain. The invention also relates to an OFDM radio receiver using the method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for regulating the compressing of metal tubing (20) having inner-lying beam wave guides (8) by means of a roll straightening passage (10a, 10b) comprising a feeding device (36, 36') of the rollers (12-16) with regard to the angle of wrap (A1, A2). The metal tubing (20) is unwound by a feed roller (11) in front of the roll straightening passage delivery roller (11') after said roll straightening passage (10a, 10b). According to the invention, a measuring device (34) for determining the velocity (v1, v2) of the metal tubing (20) is arranged in front of and behind each roll straightening passage (10a, 10b). The measuring device (30) can determine the difference in velocity in front of and behind the roll straightening passage and the feeding device (36, 36') can be adjusted independently of the difference in velocity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glue gun (10) for selectively supply molten adhesive. The glue gun comprises a housing (12), an actuator (16) movable between actuated and non-actuated positions, and a nozzle (18) configured to allow molten adhesive to flow therethrough. The housing includes an adhesive receiving chamber (27) fluidly communicating with the nozzle. The chamber (27) has an opening at one end thereof for allowing a supply of solidified adhesive to be inserted into said chamber. A heating element is associated with the chamber. The heating element (80) is operable to apply heat to the lead end portion of the solidified adhesive supply sufficient to melt the lead end portion when an electric signal is applied to the heating element. A heating element controller operates to allow the electric signal to flow to the heating element for a period of time after the actuator has been moved to its non-actuated position and to thereafter prevent the electric signal from flowing through the heating element at the end of the time period. The present invention also relates to a timing circuit for controlling the amount of time during which an electric signal is supplied to an operative element.

Abstract: A double-ended dual mechanism retractable blade utility knife (10). The knife (10) includes two separately actuable mechanisms (382, 386) which allow extension and retraction of one or both blades (28, 34) independently of one another. The cutting surfaces (30, 31) of the respective blades (28, 34) are oriented towards opposite sides of the knife (10), thereby facilitating rotation of the knife (10) within the user's hand in order to change which blade (28, 34) is currently being used. The independent nature of the dual mechanisms allows both of the blades (28, 34) to be held in the extended position. A storage area (72) is further provided behind each of the mechanisms for the storage of spare blades (29).

Abstract: Animals are produced following injection of adult somatic cell nuclei into enucleated oocytes. The invention provides a method for cloning an animal by directly inserting at least a portion of the adult somatic nucleus (including the minimum chromosomal material able to support development) into a recipient enucleated oocyte. Preferably, the nucleus is inserted by microinjection and, more preferably, by piezo electrically-actuated microinjection. The oocyte is activated prior to, during, or up to about 6 hours after insertion of the nucleus, by electroactivation or exposure to a chemical activating agent, such as Sr2+. The activated renucleated oocyte is allowed to develop into an embryo and is transplanted to a host surrogate mother to develop into a live offspring.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of measuring oxidative response of cells without recourse to preparation of cell culture. The process involves:1) preparing suspensions of cells from a living host in isotonic solutions,2) preparing samples of test materials in isotonic solution containing tagged choline,3) adding the cells suspension prepared in step 1 to the samples prepared in step 2,4) incubating the product of step 3 with shaking for 2-90 minutes,5) extracting and drying the lipid phase from the product of step 4, and6) subjecting the product of step 5 to a scintillation counter to measure choline which has been incorporated into phosphatidylcholine (PC). An increase in incorporation of choline into PC in the short term indicates oxidative stress or free radical induced damage. Because the method of the invention using the cell isolates does not require the expense of cell culture with concomitant expense and possibility of cell change, it is particularly useful for clinical evaluation. Furthermore, the ability to use erythrocytes for study of cellular response to oxidative stress makes it possible to test individual responses of patient using part of the blood sample drawn routinely for laboratory use.
