Abstract: Stack and trench memory cells are provided in a DRAM memory cell array. The stack and trench memory cells are arranged so as to form identical cell pairs each having a trench capacitor, a stack capacitor and a semiconductor fin, in which the active areas of two select transistors for addressing the trench and stack capacitors are formed. The semiconductor fins are arranged in succession in the longitudinal direction to form cell rows and in this arrangement are spaced apart from one another by in each case a trench capacitor. Respectively adjacent cell rows are separated from one another by trench isolator structures and are offset with respect to one another by half the length of a cell pair. The semiconductor fins are crossed by at least two active word lines, which are orthogonal with respect to the cell rows, for addressing the select transistors realized in the semiconductor fin.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing and processing polyester block copolymers, in particular, polyester side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers. According to the invention, the monomeric units of rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chain polymers are, preferably in the melt, polycondensated together with monofunctionalized and/or difunctionalized, cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydrides to form polymers having anhydride terminal and/or side groups. The formed polyester anhydrides are reacted with the hydroxyl groups and/or with the ester groups of meltable linear polyesters in order to form side-chain grafted, rigid side-chain and/or semi-rigid side-chained polymers and, together with meltable polyesters, they form molecularly reinforced blends.

Abstract: In a slide valve closure for the casting of a metal melt a slider plate and a stationary closure part are braced against each other by means of spring units or by other means. There is provided a casing framework attachable to a mould or the like, in which is fixed a detachable casing part on which the spring units are held and in which the stationary closure part and the slider plate can be accommodated. This allows safe operation and simple and rapid mounting and dismounting of the slide valve closure.

Abstract: The invention concerns a damping device for damping the kinetic energy of movable cabinet components, which has a first damping element with a first cylinder that has a first piston, which slides lengthwise in it, and at least one more (second) damping element with a second cylinder that has a second piston, which slides lengthwise in it. Both damping elements are located one behind the other in a serial arrangement and form an integral system. The invention is characterized by the fact that each of the two damping elements are each designed as pneumatic (air) dampers, and a compression chamber and an expansion chamber respectively contain variable volumes; whereby, the damping effects of the damping elements are affected by the guide canals, which control the air distribution and air flow within and between the compression chambers and/or expansion chambers.

Abstract: A device and a method for the control of a generator, for example a claw-pole generator, with which the rectifier bridge connected to the generator can be temporarily short-circuited, as a result of which power is temporarily stored in the stator inductors, which results in higher phase voltages. Suitable selection of the control frequency for a transistor, which makes the short-circuiting of the diode bridge possible, allows an output voltage of the generator to be set to the desired voltage level which is clearly higher than the conventional vehicle electrical system voltage. The diode bridge itself can be replaced by controllable switching elements (transistors) and a voltage adjustment is implemented using suitable controls.

Abstract: A device for opening and closing a movable furniture part, in particular a drawer, door or shutter includes two trigger and drive units which each have a trigger member controllable by the action of an external force and a drive member coupled to the trigger member for moving the furniture part and one or more locking members for locking the furniture part in the closed position and release of the furniture part as a function of the action of an external force on one or more trigger members. The two trigger and drive units are coupled to one another synchronously and substantially without play by a path- and force-transmitting means.

Abstract: A method for uphill/low pressure casting of a liquid melt in a device which has a casting furnace lying below a casting table, a mould with an underlying pouring-in opening and a slide valve closure forming a flow-through channel having a substantially straight longitudinal course during casting the liquid melt. The casting method constitutes casting the liquid melt in the pouring-in opening of the mould, shutting off the slide valve closure by displacing an overlying opening section and an underlying opening section of the flow-through channel directly after casting the liquid melt in the mould, which liquid melt is still in the pouring-in opening. The liquid melt is lowered below the mouth opening of the riser pipe and the mould is placed on the riser pipe so that a downward pressure is set between the slide valve closure and the mouth opening of the riser pipe which behaves elastically flexibly.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of specific substance P antagonists, in particular, 1-acylpiperidine substance P antagonists, especially N-benzoyl-2-benzyl-4-(azanapthoyl-amino)-piperidines, which are unsubsituted or mono- or poly-substituted by substituents selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, lower alkoyl, halogen, nitro and trifluoromethyl; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or for the treatment of fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia associated functional symptoms.

Abstract: Memory cells having a cell capacitor and a cell transistor, which are arranged in a vertical cell structure, are provided in the cell array of a DRAM. By means of a deep implantation or a shallow implantation with subsequent epitaxial growth of silicon, a buried source/drain layer is formed, from which lower source/drain regions of the cell transistors emerge. The upper edge of the buried source/drain layer can be aligned with respect to a lower edge of a gate electrode of the cell transistor, which consequently results in a reduction of a gate/drain capacitance and also a leakage current between the gate electrode and the lower source/drain region. A gate conductor layer structure is applied and there are formed, from the gate conductor layer structure, in a controlled transistor array, gate electrode structures of control transistors and, in the cell array, a body connection structure for the connection of body regions of the cell transistors.
