Abstract: A method for densification of porous by CVI in which substrates are loaded into a loading zone of an oven and heated to a temperature at which a desired matrix material is formed from a precursor gas(es). A reative gas containing the precursor gas(es) is admitted into the end of the oven and heated upstream from the loading zone of the substrates. The reactive gas is also preheated prior to entering the oven so that, upon entering the oven, it is brought to an intermediate temperature between ambient temperature and the temperature to which the substrates are heated. In this manner, a very small temperature gradient is obtained throughout the loading zone.

Abstract: The invention concerns a novel method for preparing films based on crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide). Said method comprises steps which consist in: a) dissolving said ethylene oxide polymer or copolymer alone or mixed with a water-soluble polymer, in a solvent system consisting of water, an organic solvent or a mixture with proportionate water and organic solvent content, in the presence of an efficient amount of a photoinitiator or a crosslinking agent; b) either drying the resulting solution until the solvent system is evaporated when the latter consists exclusively of an organic solvent to thereby obtain a dry film or treating the resulting film, in conditions enabling absorption an amount of water ranging between 10 and 100 wt. % relative to the polymer weight; b2) either drying the resulting solution until the solvent system is evaporated when the latter consists of water or a water-organic solvent mixture to thereby obtain a film containing between 10 and 100 wt. % of water relative to the polymer weight; c) irradiating the resulting film with ultraviolet rays with wavelength ranging between 200 and 400 nm for a time interval sufficient to enable crosslinking. The invention is useful for producing biomaterials in particular for use in medicine and cosmetics.

Abstract: A security system is configured to use a variable length encoding of a security identifier for segments of protected content material. In this system, a distinction is made between a 'zero' information bit, and the 'absence' of the information bit in a shorter information item. A conventional N-bit information encoding is encoded as a variable bit encoding, wherein the information encoding ranges from N-k bits to N+k bits. By distinguishing 'zero' bits from 'absent' bits, this variable bit encoding allows for 2?N-k + 2N-(k-1)¿ ... + 2N ... + 2?N+(k-1) + 2N+k¿ possible unique information values. Preferably, the number of bits used for each encoding of a segment of a data set is a random value, further adding to the complexity of creating a dictionary mapping for protected content material.

Abstract: A wavelength converter has a periodic structure,
where a nonlinear optical
coefficient is spatially modulated at a fundamental
period Λ 0  and the phase of the period Λ 0  is modulated
nearly continuously at a period Λ ph  > Λ 0 . A
conversion efficiency is made maximum when a phase mismatch
amount Δβ equals 2π/Λ 0 ±2πi/Λ ph  (i=0, 1, ..., n, where n is
a positive integer), 2π/Λ 0 ±2π (2i+1)/Λ ph  (i=0, 1, ..., n),
or 2π/Λ 0 +2πi/Λ f  (i=m, m+1, ..., n, where m and n are positive
or negative integers satisfying |m|≠|n|), thereby providing
a wavelength converter and wavelength converting apparatus
that can be designed to be able to cope with a desired number
of pump wavelengths, prevent the reduction in the conversion
efficiency, and be configured easily using a practical size
of a nonlinear optical material.

Abstract: A method of lasing a filler wire (22) to weld a first workpiece (20) to a second workpiece (20) comprising first and second materials, respectively, includes positioning a tip (27) of the filler wire above an opening (29) defined by the workpieces. The tip extends over a width of the opening (29) and over a portion of each of the workpieces (20, 20). The filler wire (22) is preheated and melted by directing a laser beam (18) at the tip. The laser beam (18) is advanced along a length of the opening (29) with the tip (27) positioned under the laser beam (18) to form a high aspect ratio weld (37) between the workpieces (20, 20). The high aspect ratio weld (37) has an aspect ratio of at least about two. The energy and time required for the laser beam (18) to melt the filler wire (22) is reduced as the filler wire (22) is preheated.
