Abstract: A locking member (20) for use with a worm-drive hose clip having a strap (15) of encircling an article to be clamped is arranged for slidable mounting on the main part (15) of the strap. When so mounted, the free end (17) of the strap may be entered into the locking member (20) which has a retaining portion (27) adapted to lie against the inwardly directed face of the strap so as to be clamped between the strap (15) and an article (28), on tightening of the clip around the article. The locking member (20) also has a catch member (23) which engages one of the worm-drive abutments (18) on the free end (17) of the strap so that once the clip is tightened, the catch member (23) resists withdrawal of the free end (17) from the locking member (20).

Abstract: There is a two-alloy method in the production methods of sintered alloy, in which the R2Fe14B phase is the main magnetic phase. In this method, the main phase alloy having lower R content than R2Fe14B phase and the boundary phase having rich R content for feeding the liquid phase in the sintering are mixed and used as the raw material. The conventional main-phase alloy has a structure which contains, in addition to the R2Fe14B phase, a large amount of lamellar R-rich phase which is easily oxidizable, and also a detrimental  alpha phase. The main-phase alloy provided by the present invention contains a lamellar  alpha  phase, while the dendritic  alpha  phase and lamellar R-rich phase are decreased. The oxidation resistance is therefore improved, and hence the properties of a magnet are enhanced. In addition, when the sintered magnet is produced by the two-alloy method by means of mixing the main-phase alloy and the boundary phase alloy according to the present invention, the abnormal growth of crystal grains can be suppressed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the fast and efficient filling of voids of both simple and complex shape which can be carried out at room temperature. In particular, the present invention consists of the use of free flowing thermally expanding and curing powders which are poured into the voids and then heated causing the powder to expand, coalesce and cure and thus filling or partially filling the void space as required. The process according to the present invention is particularly suitable for filling the spaces in, around and between honeycomb or pre-formed foam cores as required to produce a filled or partially filled honeycomb or foam core or any other material used in sandwich panel construction. This process is also a simple and efficient method for filling moulds suitable for use in cellular artefact production. The filled or partially filled mould or honeycomb core can then be cured to produce bonded sandwich panels or moulded cellular artefacts. In sandwich panel construction the core material can be bounded by one or more surface skins and the cured bonded panel can be cut to provide a panel having pre-sealed edges.

Abstract: A single electron on hole field effect transistor fabricated from a narrow band gap semiconductor. The transistor is such that the valence and conduction bands have sufficiently similar energy levels such that a top region of the valence band at one point (37), e.g. under a gate electrode (34), within the current path of the transistor can be forced to be higher than the bottom region of the conduction band at another point within the transistor, allowing Zener tunnelling to occur. The transistor is fabricated from semiconductors with band gaps narrow enough to allow this to occur, for instance InSb and InAISb, CdTe and CdxHg1-xTe.
