Patent EP-0994973-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A method and apparatus for nucleation and growth of diamond by hot-filament DC plasma deposition. The apparatus uses a resistively heated filament array for dissociating hydrogen in the reactant gas. For two sided diamond growth, configurations of substrate-hot filament-grid-hot filament-substrate or substrate-hot filament-hot filament-substrate configuration are used. For the latter configuration, two independent arrays of filaments serve as both hot filament and grid, and AC or DC plasma is maintained between the filament arrays. For this and the other electrode configurations, the grid electrode is positively biased with respect to the hot filaments to maintain a plasma. The plasma potential gradient across the grid and the hot-filament draws ions from the plasma towards the filaments. To further increase deposition rates, the filament array is biased negatively with respect to the substrate holder so that a DC plasma is also maintained between the substrate and filament array. During nucleation, the filament adjacent to the substrate holder is biased positively relative to the substrate so that more ions are accelerated towards the substrate, which in turn enhances the flow of growth precursors towards the substrate resulting in a high diamond nucleation density on the substrate without the need for scratching or diamond-seeding pretreatment. This nucleation method simplifies the growth process and provides a convenient and economical means for heteroepitaxial growth of diamond nuclei on single crystal substrates like Si (100).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the rotational speed of a motor vehicle wheel (4), which rotates about a rotational axis (2), by an acceleration sensor (10). The acceleration sensor (10) is mounted on the motor vehicle wheel (4) at a spacing (r) to the rotational axis (2) in such a manner that the force-sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor (10) is perpendicular to the rotational axis and is perpendicular to the centrifugal force which acts on the acceleration sensor (10) with a rotation of the motor vehicle wheel (4) about the rotational axis (2). The rotational speed of the motor vehicle wheel (4) is measured in that the rotational axis (2) is aligned horizontally so that a periodic measurement signal is generated in the acceleration sensor (10) by the gravitational force. The frequency of the measurement signal corresponds to the rotational speed of the motor vehicle wheel (4) about the rotational axis (2). The invention also relates to an air pressure control system in which the rotational speed of the motor vehicle wheel is measured.

Abstract: The invention is a method of coloring melt spun condensation polymers while avoiding hydrolytic degradation and maintaining the melt viscosity of the polymer. The method comprises adding a liquid dispersion of a colorant to the melt phase of a condensation polymer, and in-which the amount and type of the liquid in the dispersion will not substantially affect the melt viscosity of the condensation polymer; and thereafter spinning the colored melt phase condensation polymer into filament form. In another aspect the invention is a polyester filament comprising polyethylene terephthalate, a colorant, and a nonaqueous organic liquid that is soluble in melt phase polyester, and has a boiling point above 300° C., but that otherwise does not modify the polymer chain.

Abstract: The invention relates to catalyst compositions for olefin polymerization comprising metallocene complexes and novel cocatalysts belonging to the group of oligoalkylaluminates with sterically hindered alkyl groups, such as a triphenylmethyl group. These cocatalysts are produced by two alternative synthetic methods, either by reacting methylalumoxane with a sterically hindered carbinol such as triphenyl carbinol; or in two-step processes comprising first reacting trimethylaluminum with said carbinol and then reacting the products of the first step with water. Catalyst systems containing these cocatalysts and metallocene complexes are active in polymerization and copolymerization reactions of ethylene and alpha-olefins.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device which can be used in conjunction with a conventional analysis system for diagnosing the metabolic capacity of the respiratory tracts. The device enables specific quantities of suitable diagnostic agents to be added to the inspired air and after a certain time span, can be used to collect metabolites of the diagnostic agents present in the expired air and/or the diagnostic agent itself if still present. Conventional analysis systems are then used to identify the substances which have been expired and collected and determine the quantities present (e.g. using mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, GC-MS-MS, HPL-MS, isotope analysis). Conclusions can then be drawn as to the state of health of the respiratory tract organs. The invention also relates to diagnostic agents which can be used for determining the metabolic capacity of the respiratory tract epithelium, and which are used especially advantageously in conjunction with the inventive device, and to an analytical chemical method for determining the metabolic capacity of the bronchial epithelium.

Abstract: The invention relates a hydraulic machine, specifically a pump (2), with automatic control devices attached to its internal water conduits. Said devices register the presence of pressure and flow of the liquid, automatically providing for the activation of the machine when they register a certain pressure and/or flow, and its deactivation when they register a certain pressure and/or in the absence of flow. Such functions are carried out thanks to the data provided by a delivery indicator (5) and a pressure switch (6) attached to the internal water conduits (3) and connected to a control electronic circuit which regulates the machine functioning. The fluid circulates around the external surfaces of the electric tight motor, cooling it. This allows the pump to be very silent. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A slip control article including a backing layer (21, 52) having a first surface (24) with an array of at least 15,5 upstanding stems (26, 56) per square centimeter and a second surface (25). At least a portion of the upstanding stems is an elastomeric material and the stems have an aspect ratio of at least 1.25. The first surface has a static coefficient of friction when dry of at least 0.6 and a static coefficient of friction when wet within 20 % of the static coefficient of friction when dry. The first surface has a peel strength and a tensile strength of substantially zero when engaged with another slip control article. The first surface has a relatively high shear strength when engaged with another slip control article. The high shear forces are due primarily to the frictional properties of the elastomeric materials, not a mechanical interlock of the stems, such as on a mechanical fastener.
