A semi-hard magnetic element comprised of an amorphous soft iron-metalloid material containing at least 50 atomic percent iron and at least a part of the bulk of which has been crystallized to give the overall element semi-hard magnetic properties.

A marker assembly adapted for use with an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system, and particularly for use with books to be monitored by an EAS system, includes a flat elongated, marker strip of low coercive force, high permeability ferromagnetic material, adhesive layers carried on both the front and rear surfaces of the marker strip and a release liner which extends along the rear surface ...

A wafer-scale semiconductor memory device includes a wafer (1), and a plurality of memory chips (2) formed on the wafer. The memory chips contain a memory chip which includes a storage circuit (11, 21), and a switching transistor (QA) which selectively connects the storage circuit to a power supply line (Vcc) in response to a control signal (G, G1). The memory chip also includes a control logic ci...

A IC wiring connecting method for interconnecting conductive lines of the same wiring plane of an IC chip for correcting the wiring, for interconnecting conductive lines of different wiring lanes of a multilayer IC chip at the same position, or for connecting a conductive line of a lower wiring plane of a multilayer IC chip to a conductive line formed at a separate position on the same multilayer ...

Under normal conditions a load 3 is energised from a main power supply 5 and a battery 1 is disconnected both from the load 3 and from a charger 7, the battery 1 being charged in response to its open circuit voltage falling to a minimum limit value (V1, Fig 3). Charging is also initiated after a mains interruption, and if the battery internal impedance increase to a predetermined level during disc...

Phospholipid derivatives containing higher elements of the fifth main group (P, As, Sb, Bi), processes for their preparation and antineoplastic and antimicrobial medicaments which can be prepared from the phospholipid derivatives are described.

The present invention is directed to a novel dipeptidylaminopeptidase isolated from the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discodeum. The novel DAP enzyme, dDAP, displays an activity which is somewhat similar to both DAP-I and DAP-III but is highly distinctive from these enzymes in physical and other enzymatic characteristics. The invention is also directed to methods for using the dDAP enzyme to ...

Phospholipid derivatives containing higher elements of the Vth main group (P, As, Sb, Bi), their method of preparation and antineoplastic and antimicrobially active medicaments that can be prepared from the phospholipid derivatives are described. The derivatives have the general formula: Formula I wherein R5 is a C10-24 alkyl radical with up to three double and/or triple bonds; A is a single...

For producing extrudates, such as profiles or granules, pulverulent or small-particulate ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene is processed on single-screw extruders. By using a screw with specific geometry, the thermal degradation of the polymer to form low molecular weight products is avoided. Furthermore, profiles are obtained which have a flawless surface, are free of voids and pores and hav...

The drum napping machine has adjustable rods as heating rods arranged radially, in relation to the drum circumference. The rods have a heating tube mantle with an enclosed electrical heating. The rods operate under temp. control. The heating rods are fitted so that there is at least one at the drum circumference, and a max. of one rod between each pair of napping rollers. ADVANTAGE - The appts. gi...

A protective screen for a visual display unit (11) has a plate (13) which prevents viewing by persons other than those directly in front of the visual display unit. The plate (13) is fixed in a frame (12) to be positioned in front of the visual display unit (11) by means of tabs of adhesive velcro (27) having a first part (28) which can be fixed to the frame (12) and the second part (29) which can...
