The inspection system comprises a camera 404 for capturing real-time images of a PCB 408 mounted on an X-Y table 407. The images can be displayed on a computer screen, with the computer capable of controlling the X-Y position of the PCB and the focus or magnification of the camera. A defect is detected visually and recorded on the computer by pointing to its position on the screen 302, with the na...

Disclosed is a novel binder which comprises as a main ingredient pullulan and saccharide(s) wherein the weight ratio of said pullulan to saccharide(s) is in the range of 85:15 to 65:35, based on the weight of the dry solid. The binder has a relatively-low viscosity and exerts a satisfiable properties with only a relatively-small amount without a fear of causing an environmental pollution, and beca...

An improved process for forming a multilayer finish on a substrate by applying a layer of a waterborne basecoating composition to the substrate; at least partially drying the coating, applying a layer of a solvent based high solids clear coating to the basecoating and curing the coatings; the improvement that is used therewith is as follows: A. a waterborne basecoating composition that has a film...

PRINTED MICROWAVE SUSCEPTOR Paperboard packaging material for use in the manufacture of containers for browning and crisping food in a microwave oven is prepared on a printing press. The components of the packaging material include paperboard or an equivalent microwave transparent substrate, a susceptor layer prepared from a printable aqueous susceptor-ink composition, and an intermediate coating ...

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of alcohols or amines by reaction of esters, fatty acids or nitriles with hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure by means of a catalyst which, per hundred parts by weight of CuO, contains 40 to 130 parts by weight of ZnO, 2 to 50 parts by weight of Al2O3 and optionally 0.5 to 8 parts by weight of Mn, Mo, V, Zr and/or alkaline ea...

A disposable, absorbent pants-type diaper includes a front-part (1), a back-part (2), a crotch-part (3) between the front and back parts (1, 2), at least two side-closure parts (12, 13) which mutually join parts of the side-edges (4, 5) of respective front and back parts, so that the pants will present a waist opening (9) and two leg openings (10, 11). The diaper pants further include an elongated...

Feedback signals for use in controlling a variable gain amplifier portion of a radio receiver are obtained from existing automatic gain control signals comprising a part of a time domain equalizer section of a receiver such that bandpass filtering and feedback signal detecting circuitry, along with detector circuitry linearization apparatus required in prior art feedback schemes, can be eliminated...

A circuitry is disclosed for superimposing small, low energy (2) and large substantially higher energy (3) signals, in particular for trans- mitting speech signals with a remote supply direct signal for a receiving circuitry or with a high energy alternating Signal, for example a call al- ternating voltage for signalling. In Ihis circuitry is provided an opera- tion amplifier (I). One pole of the ...

This invention relates to a container for composting biodegradable waste, and particularly a container for composting organic matter. A typical container of the invention comprises side walls and a top portion to define an enclosure therewithin for receiving and retaining the waste, and features at least a part of the side walls and the top portion being removable so as to allow access to the encl...

With this method and arrangement for conserving electric power for driving a hydraulic elevator, it is possible to drive the elevator car in the ascending direction with virtually constant power output at any load. The maximum rated speed in the ascending direction is selected for a load which from experience occurs most frequently. The requisite drive variable is set in accordance with this selec...

SUMMARY: With this method and this device for the saving of electrical energy for the drive of an hydraulic lift, it is possible to drive the lift cage in the upward direction with practically constant power for any loading. The maximum nominal speed in upward direction is chosen for a loading which according to experience occurs most frequently. The required size of the drive is designed in accor...

The invention relates to a catalyst for decreasing nitrogen oxide in the lean exhaust gas of automobile engines. On a structurally reinforcing body, it contains a first catalytic coating of a high surface area aluminium oxide and/or cerium oxide impregnated with a mixture of iridium and platinum as catalytically active noble metal components. On the first layer is applied a second catalytic coatin...

SKATE WITH ALIGNED WHEELS A skate with aligned wheels including a support for an item of footwear from which a frame protrudes downward. A pivot for the facing end of a wheel supporting truck is associated transversely at at least one end of the frame. A spring members suitable to control the mutual oscillation of the frame and of the truck is interposed between the truck and the frame. The invent...

2102400 9318053 PCTABS00025 This invention provides a simplified method for converting pregnan-3,20-dione compounds to 3.alpha.-hydroxy,3.beta.-substituted-pregnanes. By selective use of reagents the unprotected dione is converted chemoselectively and diastereoselectively into a 3(R)-pregnan-3-spiro-2'oxirane-20-one intermediate. This intermediate can then be converted regioselectively by a second...

2102417 9318407 PCTABS00025 The present invention relates to the measurement of glycated hemoglobin by fluorescence quenching. The present invention uniquely involves performing two sequential fluorescent quenching measurements: one measurement of the fluorescent quenching due to total hemoglobin in the sample and a second measurement of the fluorescent quenching due to glycated hemoglobin present...
