Inventor: TINTI ROBERT NMI
IPC: G02B7/00
Filed: 1998-01-16
Abstract: There is provided an improved mounting platform for
supporting an optical system required to be precisely aligned.
Alignment is required to focus a high-power laser beam on a target
in a temperature variable environment that introduces thermal
stresses affecting alignment. The platform  30  is a honeycomb
structure comprising a core  50  sandwiched between a top plate  52 
and bottom plate  54 . A high-power laser optical system  12  is
mounted on the top plate  52  of the platform  30 . The metal
enclosure  32  having top and bottom walls  34  and  36  and side walls
 38 ,  40 ,  42  and  44  respectively encloses the platform  30 . The
platform  30  is secured to a base table  60  by means of one or more
anchor assemblies  62 . They are affixed to the bottom plate  54 .
The anchor assemblies include resilient flexure rings  70  that are
received in apertures  64  cut in the bottom wall  36  of the
enclosure  32 . This permits movement of the enclosure due to
portions of it undergoing expansion or contraction as a result of
the scattering of laser energy inside the enclosure. The anchors
isolate top plate  52  against movement of the enclosure. The
inside walls of the enclosure are treated to preferentially absorb
the radiant energy and the platform  30  is constructed of highly
reflective materials to reduce absorption of the radiation.

Abstract: An on-machine-seamable multi-axial press fabric
for the press section of a paper machine is made from
a base fabric layer assembled by spirally winding a
fabric strip in a plurality of contiguous turns, each
of which abuts against and is attached to those
adjacent thereto. The resulting endless base fabric
layer is flattened to produce first and second fabric
plies joined to one another at folds at their
widthwise edges. Crosswise yarns are removed from
each turn of the fabric strip at the folds at the
widthwise edges to produce seaming loops. The first
and second fabric plies are laminated to one another
by needling staple fiber batt material therethrough.
The press fabric is joined into endless form during
installation on a paper machine by directing a pintle
through the passage formed by the interdigitation of
the seaming loops at the two widthwise edges.

Abstract: In a process suitable to give a direct protection against the
corrosion of metallic pieces, a nitrogen diffusion area is
realised on the outer layer with a maximum depth of 0.1 mm, and
with a nitrogen weight % lower than 2-4%, depending on the
steel to he treated. The nitrogen is diffused into the piece
and fills the imperfections and the empty areas of the crystal
lattice. The temperature at which this first phase takes place
goes from 480 to 525°C depending from the steel type and the
maximum duration is of 10 hours. Then, both the temperature
values and the gas mixture, by introducing an oxidising
atmosphere, are changed and the nitrogen diffusion is fully
stopped by the oxygen action of the oxidising atmosphere
against the iron atoms of the surface. Layers of Fe 3 O 4  at 95-99%
content are obtained, practically FeO/Fe 2 O 3  oxides free, which
are formed at temperatures comprised between 505 and 545°C and
which are comprised between 2 and 4 µm and containing an oxygen
weight % between 25% and 30%. A strong barrier and insulation
effect is thereby obtained directly within the steel.
