Patent EP-0939969-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SUDRAUD PIERRE
IPC: H01J37/00

Abstract: A scanning electron microscope has means for generating a beam of electrons which is scanned over a specimen held within a holder in a chamber which contains a gaseous medium. A negative potential is applied to the holder so as to generate an electric field which accelerates secondary electrons, formed by the interaction or the primary beam with the specimen, in a direction away from the specimen surface and into a collision zone in the chamber. In that zone, the accelerated secondary electrons collide with gas molecules of the gaseous medium, thereby initiating a cascade of collisions which, in effect, amplifies the secondary electron signal. That signal (which may take the form of photons generated as a result of the collisions) is detected by detecting means, such as a photo-multiplier.

Abstract: Regenerative thermal oxidizer in which a gas such as contaminated air is first passed through a hot heat-exchange bed and into a communicating high temperature oxidation (combustion) chamber, and then through a relatively cool second heat exchange bed. The apparatus includes a number of internally insulated, ceramic filled heat recovery columns topped by an internally insulated combustion chamber. Process air is fed into the oxidizer through an inlet manifold containing a number of hydraulically or pneumatically operated flow control valves (such as poppet valves). The air is then directed into the heat exchange media which contains "stored" heat from the previous recovery cycle. The process air is heated to near oxidation temperatures. Oxidation is completed as the flow passes through the combustion chamber, where one or more burners are located. The gas is maintained at the operating temperature for an amount of time sufficient for completing destruction of the VOC's. From the combustion chamber, the gas flows vertically downward through another column containing heat exchange media, thereby storing heat in the media for use in a subsequent inlet cycle when the flow control valves reverse. The resulting clean air is directed via an outlet valve through an outlet manifold and released to atmosphere at a slightly higher temperature than inlet, or is recirculated back to the oxidizer inlet. An integrated VOC entrapment chamber entraps any VOC's that leak out during cycling, and recycles them back to the oxidizer inlet for further processing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de détermination de la vélocité d'un stylet conducteur (102) sur une tablette graphique (100). La génération d'impulsions successives dans des conducteurs successifs, disposés de manière régulière dans la tablette, permet de produire un signal électromagnétique dans un stylet conducteur situé à proximité de la tablette. Lorsque le stylet se trouve à proximité de la surface d'écriture de la tablette, le signal émis par le stylet présente un maximum local signalant l'emplacement dudit stylet. La distance séparant les bords des deux côtés de ce maximum local constitue une indication sur la vélocité du stylet.

Abstract: An article (especially a glass processing tool) production process involves subjecting a blank of ultra-fine grained oxide dispersion strengthened alloy (especially nickel base alloy) to partial hot forming by pressing, secondary recrystallisation heat treatment to achieve abnormal grain growth and further hot forming by pressing to produce the article. Preferably, prior to the process, (a) a series of identical alloy specimens is pressed at different temperatures and secondary recrystallised to determine an optimal abnormal grain growth temperature range for blank pressing; and (b) a further series of specimens is pressed in this optimal temperature range but with variable deformation profiles and secondary recrystallised to determine a critical local deformation rate region which inhibits abnormal grain growth, the blank deformation rate during the partial hot forming step being chosen outside this critical region. Also claimed is a method of manufacture, using the above process, of a mineral (especially glass) fibre producing centrifuge dish having a chamber and a peripheral flange, in which the chamber and optionally an intermediate inclined flange are produced by the partial hot forming step and, after recrystallisation heat treatment, the peripheral flange of desired inclination is produced by the further hot forming step.

Abstract: A drinking water dispenser according to the present invention functions to supply drinking water from a detachable water container. The drinking water dispenser includes a hot water tank, a chilled water tank, a supply pipe and a sterilization system. The hot water tank heats and stores the drinking water supplied from the water container. The supply pipe connects the water container with the hot water tank and the chilled water tank. The sterilization system sterilizes the tanks and the supply pipe by circulating hot water from the hot water tank among them. The dispenser is also sterilized because of its including a special 3 way connector between the detachable container and tanks which allows connector and container to be housed in a refrigerator, thus separating critical system components from warmer outside air and thus suppressing invasion and growth of microbes.
