Abstract: The invention relates to a combined method consisting of a prescription for the mode of operation of a temperature-controlled vessel for chemical reactions and of a mathematical method with which the heat transmission coefficient, which varies during a chemical reaction, of the reactor wall is determined based on the heat balance of the reactor internal space, but without a knowledge of the instantaneous reaction speed, from the temperatures, measured during the chemical reaction, of reaction medium and heat exchanger medium. According to the invention, a periodic heat flow is fed to the reactor, so that the temperatures of reaction medium and heat exchanger medium are excited into oscillations as a consequence of the heat transmission through the heat exchange surface of the reactor. The individual terms of the heat balance of the reactor internal space are integrated over one oscillation period, weighted periodically, and the heat transmission coefficient is expressed as the ratio of the integrated terms.

Abstract: An electronic ballast can be connected between either a DC power supply or an AC power supply and a gas discharge lamp, such as a metal halide lamp and control the electrical power supplied thereto. An inverter receives a DC power and generates a periodic waveform at a controlled frequency. A resonant circuit is connected to the inverter and tuned to resonate at a predetermined frequency and generate an output voltage. A coupling capacitor is connected between the resonant circuit and the discharge lamp and supplies the output voltage of the resonant circuit thereto. A controller sets the frequency of operation of the inverter near the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. The controller is responsive to at least a predetermined set point control voltage and to the output voltage of the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit is tuned to increase the voltage from the inverter means to a level sufficient to cause the discharge lamp to enter a glow mode of operation. The coupling capacitor and resonant circuit have an appropriate impedance to maintain sufficient power flow to the discharge lamp to carry it through the glow mode of operation, into an arc mode of operation and to a steady-state mode of operation.

Abstract: The large-surface pressure piston (DK) of an inwardly opening injection valve is linked to the piezoactuator (P) and forms a hydraulic transformer together with the small surface reciprocating piston (HK) movably arranged in the pressure piston bore. Short strokes and strong forces of the actuator (P) are converted into long valve needle strokes in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of the actuator. The hydraulic chambers of the injection valve are arranged in such a way that pressure forces act on one side of the reciprocating piston (HK) at the same time as traction forces act on the other side of the reciprocating piston (HK). The hydraulic chambers are interconnected by a throttling channel system, so that a drift-like shift of the pressure piston (DK) or a drift-like elongation of the actuator (P) do not influence the position of the reciprocating piston (HK).

Abstract: A susceptor or other semiconductor wafer (35) processing and/or transfer support platform (65) includes a surface pattern having two or more regions of high and low elevation. The regions of high and low elevations can be rectangular/square dimpled patterns having tops coplanar with one another to support a semiconductor wafer (35) for processing. The high and low regions can also be a wave form appearing to emanate from a point, where each of the wave crests form an imaginary plane on which a wafer to be processed can rest. The combination of high and low regions increases the average spacing between the wafer and the susceptor and reduces or eliminates the capacitive coupling (or sticking force) between processing hardware and a substrate (wafer) created by electrical fields during processing. The dimpled patterns are created by machining and can be created by using chemical and electrochemical etching of the wafer handling surfaces of processing hardware pieces.

Abstract: According to a method and apparatus for manufacturing an optical cable covered with a metal pipe (1), an introducing tube is designed to have a double tube structure. An optical fiber (5) is introduced from an inner tube (61a), and a filler is introduced from an outer tube (61b). An inert gas is introduced from the inner tube as required. Even when the filler is charged at a high pressure, it will not leak from the loading port of the optical fiber, so that the yield of the filler is increased. An unnecessary tension resulting from the filler is not applied to the optical fiber, thereby decreasing variations in extra length control.
