Abstract: A description is given of a furnace (1) for Rapid Thermal Processing of a wafer (7), in which furnace the wafer (7) is heated by lamps (9), and the heat radiation is reflected by an optical switching device (15, 17) which is in the reflecting state during the heating stage. During the cooling stage of the wafer (7), the heat is absorbed by the switching device (15, 17), which is in the heat-absorbing state. The switching device comprises a switching film of a trivalent metal, such as gadolinium, which is capable of forming hybrides by an exchange of hydrogen. Dependent on the hydrogen concentration of the hybrides, the film reflects or absorbs heat. The hydrogen content in the switching film can be changed by varying the partial pressure of hydrogen, or, preferably, by varying the potential of the switching film forming part of a stack of layers in an electrochemical cell.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des compositions de particules qui comprennent certains halogénures métalliques combinés à un agent de renfort. L'addition de cet agent de renfort à une particule d'halogénure métallique permet d'accroître la résistance de cette dernière, et de réduire ainsi la cassure lors d'impacts ou pendant la manutention. Lorsque ces particules sont utilisées en qualité de matière de remplissage à base d'halogénure métallique vaporisable dans des lampes à décharge, leur résistance s'accroît sans pour autant modifier les caractéristiques spectrales et électriques de la lampe. Cette invention concerne également des procédés de production de ces particules, ainsi qu'un tube à arc contenant lesdites particules.

Abstract: An electrically powered vehicle transportation system utilizes a guideway with parallel enclosed rails. Each enclosed rail has an electrical bus bar for supplying power to vehicles on the guideway. The guideway will accommodate dual-mode vehicles that are capable of usage on conventional streets as well as on the guideway. The guideway also accommodates conventional vehicles and ferries that operate only on the guideway. The enclosed rails have a downward facing slot on an inner wall. The vehicle axles are offset, with a portion extending through each slot. The dual-mode vehicle has a body with axles that are extensible. The axles move from a retracted position, with the wheels recessed within the wheel wells, to an extended position. In the extended position, the wheels locate within the enclosed rails. Conventional vehicles and freight are carried on ferries that move along the guideways.

Abstract: For the operation of a short cycle or cladding press, where the carrier boards are laminated on both sides with layers of setting synthetic resin or resin film, the insertion and presentation of the transport system with the clamp and suction units to clamp the material in the press zone and holding it in the press zone are simultaneous. They occur together, after the press zone is opened, by a lateral and horizontal insertion at both sides to the longitudinal center axis (I-I) from holding axes ((III-III) into loading/unloading axes (II-II). The clamp and suction units are moved with the transport system sufficiently far into the press zone, differently according to the material width, or the loading/unloading axes (II-II) are at variable gaps from the longitudinal center axis (I-I). The inwards and outwards movements of the transport system, with the clamp and suction units, are simultaneous after the material has been clamped or held in or out of the press zone, with a common drive on the loading/unloading axes (II-II). The laying of the material on the lower press/heated plate and the laying of the board in the unloading zone are simultaneous, through release of the clamp and suction units and a horizontal lateral movement of the transport system with the clamp and suction units out of the press or unloading zone or from the loading/unloading axes (II-II) into the preparation axes (III-III). The transport system, with the clamp and suction units, are moved together back on the preparation axes (III-III) for a new press cycle. Independent claims are also included for a device for carrying out the method. The device comprises a common transport trolley (8,9) for loading and unloading two carrier beams (11) with their clamp and suction units (12,13), and two guide rails (10) for the beams (11). The trolleys (8,9) ride on the rails (10) to bring the beams (11) with their clamp and suction units (12,13) from the loading zone into the press zone at both sides of the press/heating plates (5,6) and out of the zone to the unloading zone. The movements are powered by an electromotor through a drive beam with a longitudinal movement. The lateral movements are on cross rails (19) to roll at the drive beam through the drives (18). The lengths of the movements are adjusted according to the width of the material being pressed.

Abstract: A fuzzy logic control arrangement (26) is provided for an impedance match network
of the type that is typically employed between a source (12) of RF power at a given
impedance, e.g., 50 ohms, and a non-linear load (20) whose impedance can vary in magnitude
and phase, e.g., an RF plasma. The fuzzy logic controller (26) fuzzifies the phase and the
magnitude error signals (ΔΦ, ΔZ). The error signals are applied to a fuzzy logic inference
function (29) based on a number of fuzzy sets (30, 32, 34). The values of the error signals
(ΔΦ, ΔZ) enjoy some degree of membership in one or more fuzzy sets. Fuzzy logic rules are
applied to the phase and magnitude error signals. In a defuzzification stage (37), drive signal
values are obtained for moving the tuning elements of the variable impedances. The drive
signal values are weighted according to respective fuzzy inference functions for which the
error signals enjoy membership. Then the weighted drive signal values are combined to
produce output drive signals (CS1, CS2, CS3).
