IPC: G11B5/48

Abstract: A variable width flat tape head for
bi-directional contact recording and method for making
the same has significant advantages over both
traditional contoured tape heads and single width flat
heads for contact recording applications. The
variable width head and process disclosed herein
allows for greater ease of manufacturing, efficient
layout of the devices on thin film wafers and provides
a significant cost reduction in the production of the
head compared to traditionally contoured tape heads.
In addition, the present invention reduces unnecessary
surface area where the tape contacts the head, thus
reducing tape wear and damage that is present in
single width flat heads (where the tape is in contact
uniformly across the tape width), thereby providing a
concomitant improvement in tape wear and life. In
addition, the head of the present invention is simpler
and less costly to manufacture than comparable devices
with distinct advantages to the magnetoresistive
("MR") read element stripe height control process,
device alignment and assembly processes particularly
with respect to traditionally contoured tape heads,
which require more complex and expensive manufacturing
operations to form the tape head profile.

Abstract: When a guide groove (11) for a lens is formed in a
single crystal silicon substrate (10), a rectangular
parallelepiped opening is formed having a width smaller than
a desired width of the guide groove and is then processed by
wet etching using a KOH solution. Two {111} planes are
exposed on at least one end surface of the guide groove in an
optical axis direction, and the planes described above are
inclined toward the substrate side from the upper and the
lower sides. Since a protrusion portion protruding to the
guide groove side is not provided at the bottom part of the
end surface, a light-emitting diode and a lens can be
disposed close to each other, thereby forming an optical
coupling device having high optical coupling efficiency
obtained between elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to recovery of ammonia
from ammonia-containing material flows in a chemical
pulp mill for decreasing nitrogen oxide emissions of the
mill. When practicing this method, the ammonia-containing
material flow originating from steam stripping of
condensates is adjusted by means of alkali to a value of

ammonia from the material flow. The recovered ammonia
is used as a chemical in a combustion device in the
chemical pulp mill in a way known per se to reduce
detrimental nitrogen oxide emissions of the mill.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des cellules des îlots pancréatiques en mitose. Ces cellules sont obtenues par une méthode consistant à isoler une population de cellules qui comprend de préférence des cellules précurseur des îlots pancréatiques qui expriment un ou plusieurs marqueurs associés à une cellule précurseur des îlots pancréatiques. Ces cellules précurseur comprennent un ou plusieurs agents de différentiation pancréatique permettant d'obtenir une population de cellules comportant une proportion de cellules ayant des caractéristiques phénotypiques de cellules β des îlots pancréatiques fonctionnelles. Si besoin, les cellules précurseur sont prétraitées en leur administrant un ou plusieurs agents d'expansion afin d'augmenter le nombre de cellules dans la population avant la différentiation. La composition d'agent de différentiation pancréatique comprend un ligand récepteur CCK/gastrine, p. ex., une gastrine, en quantité suffisante pour effectuer une différentiation des cellules précurseur des îlots pancréatiques pour faire mûrir les cellules qui sécrètent de l'insuline. La composition d'agents d'expansion de cellules comprend un ou plusieurs ligands récepteurs du facteur de croissance épidermique (EGF) en quantité suffisante pour stimuler la prolifération des cellules précurseur. Ces méthodes de traitement consistent à greffer soit les cellules précurseur non différenciées et à libérer des agents de différenciation pancréatique seuls ou en combinaison avec l'agent d'expansion cellulaire in situ, soit à greffer les cellules β des îlots pancréatiques chez le patient. Ces cellules β des îlots pancréatiques peuvent être utilisées dans le criblage de médicaments et dans la reconstitution de la fonction pancréatique dans le contexte de traitement clinique.
