Title: Non-uniform diamond diaphragm
Inventor: HUANG JEN-HSUAN
IPC: H04R7/12
Filed: 2006-08-16
Abstract: A method for fabricating a diamond diaphragm is provided, wherein a non-homogeneous energy distribution, generated by a hot wire, plasma, or flame 20, for activating and dissociating gas is provided to pass above a mould 10. Due to different distances between the curved surface of the mould 10 and the non-homogeneous energy distribution different heating effects are produced on the surface of the mold 10. When the diamond material is coated and grows on the surface of the mold 10, the growth rate of the diamond material varies by location, thus, the diamond diaphragm has a non-homogeneous thickness and/or hardness. This changing thickness and/or hardness changes the vibration characteristic of the diamond diaphragm, so providing a wider response bandwidth (fig. 3). The diaphragm may be composed of several layers, each layer having different characteristics (fig. 4D).

Abstract: 542,469. Valve amplifying circuits. WHITE, E. L. C., and BULL, E. W. June 8, 1940, No. 10028. [Class 40 (v)] Selectivity is varied while the gain is maintained constant by an amplifier including a tuned circuit, by the provision of negative feedback to counteract the increased sensitivity due to positive feedback. The Figure shows an arrangement in which a variable resistance R2 in the cathode lead produces the feedback and by choice of the tapping b and series resistance R3 in conjunction with the effective shunt resistance R1 of the tuned circuit the gain may be held substantially constant. The Provisional Specification describes the use of a variable-mu valve in the circuit when the bias is varied and the resistance R2 is of fixed value.

IPC: E01D15/08
Filed: 1919-04-22
Abstract: 125,983. Heijst, H. van. April 19, 1918, [Convention date]. Bridges.-To prevent friction between a lifting span and its seats, the span is lifted off the seats before being turned. The span 1 is connected to a balance 7 by bars 8 which, in the construction shown in Fig. 1, are slotted to engage gudgeons 9 at the centre of gravity of the span. When the span is lifted, a pin 3 moves up in a groove 4 in a supporting block 5, and the span then turns up to the vertical position. In lowering, the span first turns until it is horizontal but above the seats, and is then dropped thereon. A jockey weight on the balance 7 is moved past the centre of rotation when the span is down, and the balance is caught by a hook 11 on the pier, thus ensuring freedom for the gudgeons 9 in the slots 10 under moving loads without oscillating the balance 7. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, a set of bars 8 is provided at each abutment; links 13 may connect the pier abutment to the adjacent gudgeons.
