IPC: G01G23/01
Filed: 1989-11-14
Abstract: Weighing apparatus including variable capacitance 
load sensing means 20, a capacitance detection circuit 
22, an analog to digital convertor 25 and microcomputer 
control means 28 is automatically verified for accurate 
operation. The capacitance detection circuit 22 is 
provided with a computer controlled verification switch 
94 by which the value of a parameter, such as resistance 
in an attenuation circuit, can be changed. Automatic 
verification of correct operation is obtained by 
periodically, with no weight on the scale, obtaining a 
first weight reading, operating the verification switch 
94 to change the parameter and obtaining a second weight 
reading. The difference between the two readings is a 
verification value and is compared to a stored 
verification value obtained in the same manner during 
calibration and stored for later use. If the difference 
between the obtained and stored verification values 
exceeds an allowable limit, the scale may be disabled 
from further weighing.

Title: Inertia weld notch control through the use of differential wall thicknesses
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 1989-12-14
Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling the 
magnitude and location of the weld notch (10) which results 
from inertia welding of certain materials, such as 
superalloys. By controlling the size and geometry of 
the articles being joined a curved weld zone will 
result and the material expelled from the weld zone 
which produces the weld notch will be directed in a 
fashion which moves the weld notch outside of the 
original diameter of the articles being joined. The 
resultant welded article consisting of a larger 
portion and a smaller portion can be machined to the 
size of the smaller portion without any residual weld 
notch.

Title: Process for preparing polycrystalline cubic boron nitride and resulting product
IPC: C04B35/583
Filed: 1990-05-23
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an high pressure/high temperature 
process for making polycrystalline cubic boron nitride particles and 
compacts from graphite boron nitride in the substantial absence of bulk 
catalytically-active material. The inventive process modulates the HP/HT 
conditions of the process and comprises incorporating into said GBN, 
non-BN atoms or clusters thereof in an amount for at least lowering the 
pressure required for making said polycrystalline CBN in the absence of 
said atoms or clusters thereof. The presence of non-BN atoms/clusters or 
foreign atoms can be termed "doping" and should be contrasted to the 
formation of a "composite". Doping of GBN with foreign atoms in 
accordance with the present invention involves the atomic level 
dispersion of foreign atoms independent of concentration. Thus, for 
present purposes, it is the size of foreign atoms and their distribution 
that determines whether a doped GBN material for processing in accordance 
with the present invention has been made or whether a conventional 
composite has been made. A composite, it will be appreciated, refers to 
the bulk addition of foreign material to GBN. In this regard, it should 
be understood that the same percentage of foreign atoms may be defined 
as suitable for producing a "composite" conventionally, but that this 
definition refers to macroscopic (particle size) mixtures; whereas, the 
same percentage may be termed a "doped" mixture for present purposes if 
the foreign atoms are present in an atomic level dispersion of atoms or 
clusters thereof. The resulting CBN product forms yet another aspect of 
the present invention.

Title: Reduction or elimination of film defects due to hydrogen evolution during cathodic electrodeposition
IPC: C09D5/44
Filed: 1991-08-06
Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for eliminating or reducing pinhole defects in cataphoretically deposited films without interfering with the electrolysis of water needed for electrodeposition. The method comprises decreasing the evolution of hydrogen gas at the cathode by adding, to the electrodepositable composition, a compound which is reduced by the hydrogen produced at the cathode during the electrodeposition. The hydrogen reacts with this non-gaseous compound rather than becoming hydrogen gas and forming bubbles which lead to pinhole defects.
