Abstract: A method of heating a melt containing an oxidizable substance in which a fuel is burned with an oxidant by projecting fuel oxidant jets over the melt. The fuel and the oxidant jets have a fuel jet momentum and an oxidant jet momentum, respectively. The oxidant jet produces a top oxidation layer on the top surface of the melt and such top oxidation layer has a thickness. The oxidant jet momentum is adjusted to be below a threshold momentum at which the top oxidation layer is forces aside by the oxidant jet to expose fresh melt that potentially can be oxidized and can increase the thickness of the top oxidation layer. The fuel-jet momentum is adjusted so that it is greater than the oxidant jet momentum to draw the oxidant jet towards the fuel jet and thereby forms a desired combustible mixture in a mixing layer. Additionally, the oxidant and fuel jet momentums could be adjusted so that their total momentum (the sum of their individual momentums divided by the power output developed by the burner of the fuel) were less than about 60 newtons per megawatt.

Abstract: A studless pneumatic tire having excellent running performance of the tire on icy road surfaces. The tire has a plurality of block-shaped island portions (4) formed on a cylindrical tread (1) extending between a pair of sidewalls. The island portions (4) have laterally extending sipes (5) and are separated by a plurality of main grooves (2) extending in the circumferential direction as well as by many lug grooves (3). Each island portion (4) has a first sipe and a second sipe. The first sipe extends from a first lateral end facing a first main groove to traverse a first edge region of the island portion (4) in a substantially axial direction and branches into a plurality of branch segments, thereby forming a fork-like shape, at a first interface between the first edge region and the central region of the island portion (4). Each branch segment traverses the central region of the island portion and reaches a point near a second interface between an opposite second edge region and the central region of the island portion (4). The second sipe extends from a second lateral end of the island portion facing a second main groove so as to traverse the second edge region and extends into the central region of the island portion (4) in the axial direction. These first and second sipes divide the central region of the island portion into a larger number of island elements compared to the edge regions of the island portion (4).

Abstract: Process for butt welding two metal blanks(1,2) of which the first blank is of steel and the second blank is of a metal having a melting temperature lower by more than 400 DEG  C. than the melting temperature of the steel. The process includes positioning the two metal blanks (1,2) so that they contact each other in the region of their lateral faces to be butted together, maintaining the two metal blanks in contact, directing onto one of the principal faces of the metal blank (1) a high energy density bean (5) which passes through the first metal blank (1) and of which the focusing point is situated at a given distance from the joint plane (3) so as to generate in the region of the joint plane (3) a temperature equal to the melting temperature of the second metal blank (2) to within 10%, and displacing the high energy density beam (5). This process is applicable to the welding of two metal blanks of which one is of steel and the other is of aluminium or aluminium alloy for producing a motor vehicle part, in particular a body and structural part.

Abstract: The surface emission semiconductor laser is formed on a III-V substrate, e.g. of GaAs or InP, with a resonant cavity defined by mirrors (11,15) and containing an active layer (CA). There is also an electrical confinement layer. The formation of this electrical confinement layer includes three stages, the first being the growth of a localised aluminium alloy layer (4) above the active layer (CA) with the exception of an aperture region (8) above which one of the mirrors is formed (11). The second stage includes a resumption of the epitaxial growth of the doped substrate (9), and the third stage includes lateral oxidation of the localised aluminium alloy layer. This final stage may be preceded by a lateral etching process allowing the separation of the periphery (12) of the aluminium alloy layer (4).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'enrobage de bobines à haute tension à l'aide d'une résine thermoplastique isolante électriquement d'une épaisseur suffisante pour que la bobine soit isolée des autres surfaces électriques, et sensiblement exempte de vides. Ledit procédé consiste, partant d'un moule présentant une cavité, un orifice, un évent, une broche support rétractable portant un objet placé dans le moule, à placer la bobine à haute tension dans la cavité, à mettre la broche en contact avec la bobine pour la maintenir dans la cavité, à injecter dans le moule par l'orifice une résine thermoplastique isolante, à retirer la broche de la cavité pendant l'injection de la résine et avant qu'elle ne durcisse autour de la broche de manière à éviter la formation de vides dans la résine, à permettre à l'air de s'évacuer de la cavité alors que la résine progresse dans le moule, et à poursuivre l'injection de la résine jusqu'au remplissage total du moule. On obtient ainsi une couche électriquement isolante de résine thermoplastique, pratiquement exempte de vides et d'une épaisseur suffisante pour isoler la bobine des autres surfaces électriques.
