Abstract: Un fichier-disque comprend une bague d'expansion fixée à la paroi du moyeu (26) et qui est placée entre le disque inférieur (22) de la pile de disques et le flasque du moyeu. Une arête circulaire (52) concentrique au moyeu est formée sur la bague et vient en contact avec la face inférieure du disque. La bague est conçue pour que sa dilatation thermique soit sensiblement égale à celle du disque d'aluminium à la position de contact entre les deux. Une rondelle (51) interposée entre la bague et le flasque permet à la bague de se déplacer sans contrainte par rapport au flasque. Pendant le cycle thermique, la bague et le disque ont une cadence de mouvement identique au point de contact, la bague assurant le maintien de la concentricité du disque avec le moyeu dans toute la plage des températures de fonctionnement du fichier-disque.

Abstract: New processes are disclosed for depositing metal coatings on substrates of anodisable metals, such as aluminium and its alloys, the coatings being applied directly on to a porous anodised layer that has been produced on the surface of the substrate. Pore-filling metal is first electrolytically deposited in the pores, the metal depositing initially on the bottom walls and the lower parts of the side walls; usually until the pores are from about 3 % to about 30 % filled. Metal deposition is then continued using an electroless process until the pores are filled to the desired extent, usually until a support coating has been applied over the entire anodised layer. Other metal coatings can then be applied over the support layer, either by electrolytic or electroless methods. Electroless coatings of considerable thickness (as much as 75 micrometres) can successfully be applied. The new products of such processes comprise a substrate of anodisable metal, having on a surface an anodised layer of thickness of about 0.5 to about 50 micrometres; the pores of the anodised layer have pore-filling metal electrolytically deposited therein, and pore-filling metal electroless deposited on the electrolytically deposited metal. The electroless metal may constitute the final layer or other layers may be deposited over it to give the final product. The interposed electrolytically deposited metal provides improved adhesion to the anodised material as compared to direct electroless deposited metal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for growing diamond on a diamond substrate by chemical vapor deposition. The inventive method comprises alternatingly contacting at elevated temperature said diamond substrate with a gas having the formula CnXm and then with a gas having the formula ClZp. X and Z each form single bonds with carbon. X and Z also are reactable to form ZX or a derivative thereof. The Z-X bond is stronger than the C-X bond and also is stronger than the C-Z bond. In the formulas, n, m, l, and p are integers. If CnXm and ClZp do not react in the gas phase, then a gas mixture of them can be used to grow diamond instead of the alternating exposure of one and then the other.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for casting metal strip in which molten metal is introduced between a pair of parallel casting rollers (16) via a tundish (18) and metal delivery nozzle (19). Casting rollers (16) are cooled so that shells solidify on the moving roller surfaces and are brought together at the nip between them to produce a solidified strip product (20) at the roller outlet. The tundish (18), delivery nozzle (19) and a pair of side closure plates (56) to confine the pool of metal on the casting rollers are separately preheated to working temperature and then rapidly brought into an operative assembly and casting is started before detrimental uneven or localized cooling of the preheated components can develop. To this end the casting rollers are mounted on a carriage (13) movable between a first station (14) at which the preheated components are fitted and a second station (15) at which casting is carried out.

Abstract: Mutant forms of midivariant RNA are disclosed which are replicated efficiently by the enzyme Q beta  replicase in the presence of an agent(s) which is useful for the real time, quantitative detection of the accumulating RNA products. This agent(s) also suppresses the replication of non-mutant wild type midivariant RNA. The mutant MDV RNAs, when modified by the addition of specific probe sequences, retain their replication properties in the presence of the detection agent. This method allows the replication to be monitored using a real time mode thereby providing a reliable method for monitoring the kinetics of the reaction, and determining the initial level of amplified RNA.
