A radio frequency identification integrated circuit (RFID IC) chip is packaged and oriented within a plastic molded package so that the RF characteristics of the packaged RFID IC are improved. The RFID IC may be packaged and oriented with respect to the antenna circuit so that the RF characteristics of the transponder are improved and/or the size (length, width, area, etc.) of the substrate is red...

A non-intrusive system and method for tuning the speaker (50) is performed by applying a reference signal and a control signal to the input of the programmable speaker (50). A microphone (54) detects a sound corresponding to the input reference signal at the output (53) of the speaker and feeds it back to a tester (55) which analyzes the frequency response of the speaker (50) by comparing the inpu...

A porous composite product comprised of a network of fibers is produced by forming an unsintered preformed network of fibers and a gasifiable structure forming agent, followed by gasification of the structure forming agent prior to sintering of the fibers at appropriate junction points. The preferred structure forming agent is a cellulosic material.

The invention relates to the use of Ipriflavone (7-isopropoxyisoflavone) and combinations thereof with porous hydroxylapatite and/or tricalcium phosphate for the substitution of bone defects having pathologically developed or being artificially established, as well as to compositions containing these active ingredients and their preparation. In the combinations of the invention, the mass ratio A/B...

In an electronic circuit device, a thin film resistor is formed on a substrate and includes first regions including one kind of atom such as Cr and exhibiting an electric conductivity and a second region including a compound such as SiO2 composed of two kinds of atoms and exhibiting an insulating property. In the thin film resistor, the first regions are scattered in the second region and have an ...

In a water oxygenation assembly, the novelty is that: (a) a water jet and pump aggregate (1) are movable within the installation, instead of being fixed in situ; (b) the movable arrangement sets up an irregular flow pattern within the water; (c) the water and jet pump aggregate are moved by e.g. chains or cables (4).

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von ortho-alkylierten Benzoesäurederivaten der Formel I DOLLAR F1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß man ein Arylbromid der Formel II DOLLAR F2 mit sec.-Butyllithium und CO¶2¶ umsetzt.; The invention relates to a process for the preparation of ortho-alkylated benzoic acid derivatives of the formula Icharacterized in that an aryl bromide of the formul...

The use of a washing machine is based upon a programmed cycle with active periods and inactive periods. The rate at which operations take place are dependent upon local conditions such as water temperature. The control unit has a learning capability that allows the cycle to be adjusted based upon actual conditions.; Ausgehend von der Ermittlung einer tatsächlichen Programmlaufzeit unter Berücksich...

In a small-scale essentially aerobic water treatment process, water is fed in batches to the upper end of a nitrification zone within a vessel. The water charge is allowed to descend to the lower part of the nitrification zone, where it is subject to rising pulse aeration. The pulse aeration generates brief overflow of partially-treated water at the upper end of the nitrification zone, into a non-...

The mineral fibres (2) extend essentially at right angles to the material surface (3, 4) in areas (5, 6) where the binder has been removed, the fibre density in these regions being the same as in the rest of the material. These regions are present in both material surfaces. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for making the material, using press belts and/or rolls with elements...

A process for detecting, and monitoring, changes in the properties of a fluidized bed of particulate solids, especially a fluidized bed of particula te catalytic solids at elevated temperature wherein a low molecular weight hydrocarbon is converted, in the presence of steam and oxygen, to synthesis gas. Measurement is made of the magnitude of differential pressure fluctuations taken at different l...

The invention relates to .alpha.-halogenated acid esters of polyvalent, but at least trivalent, alcohols which can be used as atom transfer radical polymerization initiators. Using said initiators block copolymers having branched structures can be produced.

An environmentally friendly, commercially practicable process for the production of microcellular polymer foams from amorphous, semi-crystalline a nd crystalline polymers that comprises consolidating the polymer into a polymer shape, saturating the polymer shape with an inert gas at elevated temperatur e, above the Tg of the polymer, and under elevated pressure, releasing the pressure and cooling...

CO2 is used as foaming agent and a first and a second control agent are injected into the plastified mixture. The first agent is used to dissolve an d refrigerate the plastified mixture and consists of ethanol while the second agent is solely used to refrigerate the plastified mixture and consists of H2O2. A sufficient amount of ethanol is injected to achieve maximum CO2 dissolution in the plastif...

An improved method of bed temperature control is provided by the coordinated manipulation of the water flow rate in one or more heat exchangers and cycle gas flow rate to the reactor.
