Title: An investment casting technique for the formation of metal matrix composite bodies and products produced thereby
Inventor: BURKE JOHN THOMAS
IPC: C22C21/00
Filed: 1989-11-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming metal matrix composite bodies and the novel products produced therefrom. A negative shape or cavity, which is complementary to the desired metal matrix composite body to be produced, is first formed. The formed cavity is thereafter filled with a permeable mass of filler material (7). Molten matrix metal (8) is then induced to spontaneously infiltrate the filled cavity. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are also in communication with the filler material (7), at least at some point during the process, which permits the matrix metal (8) when made molten, to spontaneously infiltrate the permeable mass of filler material (7), which at some point during the processing, may become self-supporting. In a preferred embodiment, cavities can be produced by a process which is similar to the so-called lost-wax process.

Title: Telecommunication systems, as well as a base station, a repeater station and methods.
Inventor: HEKMAT RAMIN
IPC: H04W16/12
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: Prior art telecommunication systems, having per cell a base station and a few repeaters, are inefficiently composed. By making use of a new cell structure, in which a cell consists of three hexagonal and equilateral sub-cells possessing one common point at the place where the base station is situated, having per sub-cell a repeater centrally situated in the sub-cell, a telecommunication system is obtained which is very efficiently composed as far as distribution in space is concerned, and by dividing a sub-cell into three equal sectors and providing it with an extra repeater, a telecommunication system is obtained which is very efficiently composed as far as time division is concerned, on account of the fact that loss of usable time slots, present due to application of a first repeater, is compensated for by application of a second repeater, in which the loss of usable time slots, present due to application of the second repeater, is compensated for by application of the first repeater. Both repeaters are in this case, for example, so-called alternating slot repeaters.
