Title: Oxidation resistant thrombomodulin analogs.
Inventor: GLASER CHARLES B
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 1991-04-09
Abstract: Novel soluble oxidation resistant thrombomodulin analogs are produced for various therapeutic and other uses, such as in thrombotic and vascular disease therapies. These analogs exhibit the characteristic therapeutic properties of native thrombomodulin, yet they are soluble and are not inactivated after they have been exposed to oxidants. Some of the analogs disclosed are multifunctional fusion proteins having both antithrombotic activity and some additional bioactivity.

Title: Dual deck video cassette recorder with copy prevention.
Inventor: DUNLAP R TERREN
IPC: G11B15/10
Filed: 1991-07-01
Abstract: A dual deck video cassette recorder, having first and second video decks in a common housing. Each deck has a plurality of heads and both of the decks can playback, and at least one of the decks can record. A switch arrangement is connected to both decks to provide for selective connections of video and audio signals between, and from the inputs to and outputs from, the two decks. A sensor detects the angular position of the heads of each deck to assure they are in phase prior to initiating recording. A mechanism corrects the angular position of the heads of at least one of the decks to assure the heads of each will be in the same angular phase prior to initiating recording. A circuit detects a copy protection signal on a tape in one deck during vertical blanking and the signal is located and timed so that it will not interfere with normal operation of the video signals, to produce a quality picture on a TV monitor or place information onto tape in one deck which provides a quality picture. A circuit is provided for ceasing, and preventing, any copying function being performed when the copy protection signal has been detected, and it also determines, after the copy protection signal has be detected, that the signals at both decks have been synchronized for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A plasma arc cutting torch (10), particularly one operating in the 0-200 ampere range, has a shield (38) mounted at its lower end adjacent a workpiece (26) to block splattered molten metal (26a) from reaching a nozzle (16) of the torch. The shield (38) is electrically insulated, preferably by mounting it on an insulating ring (22) that is itself secured on a cap (20) screwed onto the torch body (12). A secondary gas flow through the torch passes through the space between the nozzle (16) and the shield (38) to provide cooling. Bleed ports (44) in the shield allow an enhanced flow rate with the remaining flow being at a rate, in conjunction with the size of an exit orifice (42) in the shield, to stabilize the plasma arc (24). Canted ports (54) in the secondary gas flow path (48) produce a swirling of the gas flow which enhances the quality of the cut.

Abstract: In a sound reproduction system (3) for sound reproduction with spatial sound effect at a specific hearing location (10) in a room limited on all sides, in particular the passenger compartment (2) of a motor car (1), loudspeakers (11, 12, 21, 22) are disposed in this compartment in such a way that they generate a spatial sound. To ensure that this spatial sound effect is positioned at a specific hearing location (10), a specific delay time is provided as a basic setting on sound signal delay devices (13, 14, 23, 24) in the loudspeaker channels (17, 18, 27, 28). A considerable fluctuation range exists for the basic setting, within which a change in the spatial sound effect cannot be heard at the hearing location. In addition, this fluctuation range is exploited in order to set the delay times within the fluctuation range in such a way that a smoothing of the frequency response of the sound level at the hearing location is also achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor in an integrated circuit, such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and a capacitor and DRAM cell formed by such a method, is disclosed. A first capacitor plate is formed of silicon, for example polysilicon, followed by oxidation thereof to form a thin capacitor oxide layer thereover; alternatively, the thin capacitor oxide layer may be deposited. Nitrogen ions are then implanted through the oxide and into the silicon. A high temperature anneal is then performed in a nitrogen atmosphere, which causes the implanted nitrogen to accumulate near the interface between the silicon first plate and the oxide layer, forming a nitride-like region thereat. An optional sealing thermal reaction (oxidation or nitridation) may then be performed, to reduce the effects of pinholes or other defects in the composite film. The second plate may then be formed of polysilicon, metal, or a metal silicide, completing the capacitor.
