A method of making a metal composite part by compacting a metal powder composition in a die whose wall surfaces have been electrostatically coated with a lubricant, thereby eliminating or reducing a lubricant in the metal powder composition, resulting in a metal composite having greater density and strength. The method further includes providing an electrostatic charge to the metal powder composit...

The present invention provides an efficient streamlined pipeline for a counterflow pipeline processor with a renaming table. The counterflow pipeline includes an execution pipe having multiple instruction stages forming an instruction pipe, a plurality of result stages forming a result pipe, and a corresponding plurality of comparator/inserters. Each comparator/inserter couples an instruction stag...

A method of network multicasting using transport layer protocols, suitable for use in ATM networks, is disclosed. The protocols advantageously combine the acknowledgments of individual destinations along the underlying multicast tree to prevent acknowledgement implosion. The inventive method also prevents unnecessary retransmission by performing local multicasts. $$

A method for a program-package change in a multicomputer system (MRS) and a computer (PR1) for the multicomputer system (MRS) are disclosed. During the program-package change, the interruption of the processes being controlled by the multicomputer system (MRS) is to be kept as short as possible. In addition, for reasons of security, fallback on operation of the multicomputer system (MRS) with the ...

The interpretation of dynamic differential calorimetry ("DDSC") data is enhanced by parsing the data according to whether it is obtained while the sample is being heated, cooled, or re-heated. Each DDSC scan is split up into three separate components, depending upon whether the sample is undergoing heating, cooling or reheating. Each component can then be analyzed separately to investigate the sam...

A method for assembling integrated circuits or chips, made by a LOC (Lead-on-Chip) technique, having bonding pads in a substantially central position upon printed circuit boards, provided with through slots corresponding to the chip bonding pads, wherein the method comprises the following steps: applying adhesive to the bottom side of the printed circuit board at the sides of said slots; attaching...

Method for making a fabric, comprises a phase of weaving in which at least one portion of the warp threads are formed from a thermosensitive yarn, and a second phase of heat treatment able to stabilise and modify the dimensions of said thermosensitive yarn so as to produce reimbursements on the finished textile.

An optical apparatus is provided that includes a first frequency routing device having at least one input port and P output ports, where P routing device is also provided that has P input ports and at least one output port. P optical paths couple the input port of the first frequency routing device to the output port of the second frequency routing device.

Cation chromatography with solutions at pH less than 6.0 and low ionic strength can be utilized to purify human alpha -1 proteinase inhibitor ( alpha -1 PI) from biological fluids including plasma and plasma fractions. The cation chromatography takes advantage of the fact that active alpha -1 PI does not bind to the cation column under these conditions but other proteins, including denatured al...

The first network part (1) of the arrangement forms a network core which functions as common network resource and works unactivated by the second part (2) which is specific for different connected network types. The network core consists of three different plans, i.e. a service plan, a traffic control plan and a transport plan. The traffic control plan comprises a logical plan where, for example, ...
