Abstract: A magnetoresistive element includes a pair of ferromagnetic layers
(11, 13) and a non-magnetic layer (12) arranged between the ferromagnetic
layers. At least one of the ferromagnetic layers (11, 13) has a composition
expressed by (M x L y ) 100-z R z  at the interface with the non-magnetic layer (12).

group consisting of B, C, N, O, and P. Here, M is Fe a Co b Ni c , L is at least
one element selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Ir, and Rh, R is an
element that has a lower free energy to form a compound with the element
of the non-magnetic layer (12) that is at least one selected from the group
consisting of B, C, N, O, and P than does any other element included in the
composition as M or L, and a, b, c, x, y, and z satisfy a + b + c = 100, a ≥ 30, x
+ y = 100, 0 < y ≤ 35, and 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 20. This element can provide a high MR

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé d'immobilisation de micro-organismes (en particulier, levures ou bactéries), le respectif produit et son utilisation dans des opérations de fermentation ou de bioconversion. En particulier, cette invention concerne l'immobilisation de micro-organismes dans des sphères de polymères constituées par deux ou plusieurs couches, ces sphères étant susceptibles d'être déshydratées. Le problème technique est que dans les sphères traditionnelles seulement une partie de la population totale de micro-organismes est réellement en activité, il s'agit des micro-organismes se trouvant près de la périphérie des sphéres. Selon l'invention ce problème est résolu grâce à la création d'une réserve nutritive dans le centre de la sphère et au placement des micro-organismes dans une couche contiguë à celle-ci, l'ensemble étant suivi éventuellement par le recouvrement au moyen d'une couche stérile qui définit, dans ce cas, une sphère à trois couches.

Abstract: A system and method is provided which suppresses relative intensity noise in a fiber optic gyroscope, by taking advantage of the frequency response of erbium fiber. In operation, the gain provided by the erbium fiber is added to the gain of the other components in the feedback loop to provide for stable loop performance up to about 250 kHz. The frequency response of the erbium fiber of about 3 kHz also provides a 6db per octave roll-off, which when used in a negative feedback control loop for controlling the current flowing to the gyroscope light source. THis, in turn, allows for a relative intensity noise control loop with a bandwidth much greater than 3 kHz, which may be used in high performance gyroscope applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sound-insulating floor covering, in particular for motor vehicles, comprising a carpet layer ( 2 ) which on the underside comprises a base substrate ( 3 ), and a sub-layer ( 8, 9 ) which is bonded to the underside of the carpet layer by means of a hot-melt adhesive ( 5, 6 ) which is applied in multiple stages. In order to economically produce such a floor covering which is light in weight, has good sound-insulating qualities and adequate rigidity, it is proposed that directly to the base substrate of the carpet layer ( 2 ) a hot-melt adhesive ( 5 ) is applied which has an average mass flow rate of the melt ranging from 190 to 210 g/10 min and has a lower melting point than a hot-melt adhesive ( 6 ) which is applied in a subsequent stage and has an average mass flow rate of the melt ranging from 140 to 160 g/10 min. Furthermore, the second hot-melt adhesive ( 6 ) can preferably comprise hollow mineral microbodies ( 7 ). Moreover, a method for the production of such a floor covering is described.

Abstract: During the rinse cycle of a re-circulating dishwashing machine (132), water is simultaneously diverted into a dispenser (100) as water is delivered to the rinse arms (133) of the dishwashing machine (132). The cavity (118) of the dispenser (100) contains a solid detergent block (125) and is flooded with water during the rinse cycle. The water contacts the detergent (125) during the rinse cycle to create a use solution, and the use solution exits the dispenser (100) and flows into a wash water storage tank (135) of the dishwashing machine (132). During the wash cycle of the dishwashing machine (132), the wash water containing the use solution from the dispenser (100) is pumped into the wash arms (134). The wash water becomes diluted during the subsequent rinse cycle, however, the water diverted into the dispenser (100) during the rinse cycle replenishes the detergent (125) concentration in the wash water for use in the subsequent wash cycle.

Abstract: A rectangle of pizza dough is prepared, twice the area of the final product. Selected ingredients are added and the pizza is baked in a hearth and arch oven. The pizza is folded centrally on removal, bringing the two plane faces together and aligning the edges to form a main edge opposite the fold, and two end edges. The main edges and any ingredients appearing there, are coated by an edible strip, joining the edges.  One of the end edges is similarly sealed by an edible strip, the other left open. The production line includes a station preparing the dough, a unit extruding dough onto a moving conveyor belt through a size-defining opening. A further station covers the strip of dough with ingredients deposited to a calibrated thickness and width. The pizzas are passed through a continuous oven under controlled conditions of temperature and residence time. A longitudinal cutter produces strips; a transverse cutter completes separation into rectangles. A further unit folds the portions whilst still hot and flexible, and includes opposed guides. Following edge-sealing of the folded pizza, it is colored and cooked to form a homogenous rigid envelope. The products are frozen for distribution, eventual re-heating and consumption. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding production line.

Abstract: An improved selective hydrogenation process for removing acetylenic impurities such as vinyl acetylene, ethyl acetylene, propyl acetylene and acetylene in a steam cracked crude butadiene stream by selective hydrogenation is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the partial selective hydrogenation is carried out in a fixed bed with a copper based catalyst (12) to have the ratio of vinyl acetylene to ethyl acetylene in a range of from 0 to about 1 , preferably from about 0.01 to 0.6, in the product stream. In the second step, the selective hydrogenation of the remaining C4 acetylenic impurities is carried out to completion in the catalytic distillation mode using a palladium promoted copper catalyst (24, 26, 28, and 30), an improved palladium catalyst or a combination of these two. The product stream (14) from the first step partial hydrogenation is introduced to the catalytic distillation column (20) at a position within the catalytic reaction zone and hydrogen feed gas (18) is introduced below the catalyst bed to maximize the recovery of 1 ,3-butadiene. The feed positions (22a, 22b, and 22c) to the catalytic distillation column may vary along the catalyst loading zone depending on the feed composition from the first step selective hydrogenation reactor. Optionally, to prolong the catalyst service and cycle time, a solvent is added to the reactor with the hydrocarbon bed stream in the first step or the second step or both steps
