Abstract: A device for multimeasurement of vertical position variation of one or a number of predetermined points of an industrial or scientific construction of installation comprises means for measuring pressure which appears at the locations of these points and the variation of which is directly related to a variation in level of said points.

Abstract: An MOS transistor comprises a projection formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating film having an upper portion located on the upper surface of the projection and a pair of side portions extending from the upper portion and located on the side surfaces of the projection, source and drain regions located in the projection to sandwich the gate insulating film and to be exposed on the upper surface of the projection, and a gate electrode, having first and second portions respectively formed on the upper and side portions of the gate insulating film, for generating a depletion layer extending deeper into the projection than would a depletion layer generated by only the first portion, in the portion of the projection facing the first portion.

Abstract: A solid image pickup apparatus comprises a plurality of photo sensing elements, arranged on a semiconductor substrate two-dimensionally and spaced mutually by specified distances, for outputting electric charges on receiving light, a semiconductor channel formed among the photo sensing elements and transferring electric charges output from the photo sensing elements. The semiconductor channel comprises cross-shaped channel members, each channel member being located inside four photo sensing elements. A plurality of vertical transfer electrodes, are provided on the channel members, for giving electric potential to the channel members and having electric charges transferred to the channel members of the next stages. Each of the channel members comprises a wide-width part and a narrow-width part located between the wide-width part and the channel member of the next stage. The narrow-width part is formed by an ion-implanting method to have a higher impurity concentration than that of the wide-width part.

Abstract: The invention concerns an X-ray stand permitting isocentric movements and intended particularly for radio diagnosis. Stand includes a base supporting a binding clip having a first and second arm supporting respectively an X-ray source and receiver. According to a feature of the invention, binding clip includes a foot by which it is supported by the base by means of devices to move foot in a circular movement centered on an isocenter point.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising a fluorine-containing copolymer containing at least 10% by weight of fluorine based on fluoroolefin units, being soluble in a solvent and having curable reactive sites, and a polyfunctional organic silicon compound having at least one isocyanate group directly bonded to a silicon atom.

Abstract: Stable biologically active thromboxane A.sub.2 analogues having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is OR.sup.3, where R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or a pharmaceutically acceptable cation or lower alkyl group; orR.sup.1 is NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 where R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are the same or different substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl group; andR.sup.2 is hydrogen or an -OH group.The thromboxane analogues are potent thrombotic agents, useful in cardiovascular treatment.

Abstract: Shaped articles of polyvinyl chloride resins containing low-molecular plasticizers are irradiated with ultraviolet light of a wavelength in the vacuum ultraviolet region to cause the shaped articles to form therein a cross linked layer capable of preventing otherwise possible exudation of plasticizers to their surface.
