Abstract: An endless sliding guide apparatus including a track
rail, a sliding table having an endless track comprising a
load rolling path, a no-load rolling path and a change
direction path and rolling bodies wherein at least one of
the no-load rolling path, the inner peripheral portion of
the change direction path and a rolling body retaining
section of the load rolling path is formed by synthetic resin
rolling body guide members formed by insert molding using
a bearing race as a core. The rolling body guide members are
molded by a synthetic resin composition satisfying the
relational expression of  (a × b) ÷ c ≧ 700 Mpa  with
respect to the tensile strength a (MPa), tensile elongation
b (%) and shrinkage c (%). The endless sliding guide
apparatus of the present invention has the advantages that
since the endless track of the sliding table is accurately
formed, the rolling of the rolling bodies along the endless
track is quite smooth, the noise level is minimized and not
only the manufacture of the sliding table can be automated
but also the problem of "corner cracks" in the synthetic
resin rolling body guide members can be eliminated thereby
extending the working life of the apparatus.

Abstract: In a virtual ground type semiconductor storage device, all
of memory cells connected to one word line in blocks of
eight memory cells are read in four sense operations. In
each read operation, three consecutive main bit lines (BL)
are discharged by a discharge signal (dis) and two memory
cells (MC) which are each connected to both a discharged
main bit line and a charged main bit line are used as read
memory cells, whereby the influence of a leak current from
both the adjacent memory cells on the read memory cells is
suppressed to the minimum. Among adjust cells (AC)
activated by an adjust signal (awl), ones (AC) connected to
only the charged main bit lines are designed as programmed
cells (P) to reduce a variation in leak current to a sense
main bit line due to data retained in the memory cells (MC)
connected to only the charged main bit lines.

Abstract: An improved optical photolithography system and method provides predetermined
light patterns generated by a direct write system without the use of photomasks. The Direct
Write System provides predetermined light patterns projected on a surface of a substrate (e.g.,
a wafer) by using a computer controlled spatial light modulator. Image patterns are stored in
a computer and through electronic control of pixels in the spatial light modulator, directly
illuminates the wafer to define a portion of the polymer array, rather than being defined by a
pattern on a photomask. For example, in the Direct Write System using a micro-mirror array
as the spatial light modulator, the angle of each pixel of micro-mirror array is computer
controlled to reflect or not reflect an optical beam of suitable intensity to thereby image
(printing) individual features on the substrate at each photolithographic step without using a
photomask. The Direct Write System including a spatial light modulator is particularly
useful for deprotecting features for polymer array synthesis (e.g. synthesis of DNA arrays).

Abstract: A call selection process in a call center is controlled so as to ensure the achievement
of target values for one or more interval-based performance metrics. In an illustrative
embodiment, a memory in the call center is used to store information regarding contractual
target values of one or more interval-based performance metrics such as, for example, an
average speed of answering metric, or a percent in service level metric. The call selection
process is then adjusted within a given performance interval based at least in part on a
comparison of a value of the metric actually achieved during the interval to the
corresponding stored target value. For example, a service objective of the call selection
process may be adjusted at one or more designated points in the interval if the value of the
metric actually achieved to a given one of the points will not allow achievement of the target
value within the interval.

Abstract: A cannula (1) for movement along determined trajectory, consisting of numerous longitudinal bands (2), connected with cross links, which allow their sliding in respect to each other. The movement of the cannula (1) is effected by abrupt strokes longitudinally upon one separate band, whereat it slides at a definite distance in respect to its neighbouring bands, whereas the remaining bands remain linked and static in respect to each other, followed by the same strokes, consecutively upon each of the remaining bands and repeated repetition of the cycle until the movement at the desired distance is achieved. The immobility of the numerous bands with the exception of one, ensures the mechanical memory of the cannula for its location in the different sections of space and its movement along a determined trajectory.
