Patent EP-0492723-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VAN AMSTEL WILLEM DIRK
IPC: G01C3/06
Filed: 1991-12-18
Abstract: An optical height measuring device in accordance with the triangulation principle comprises a first imaging system (20) with which a radiation spot (11) on a surface (10) to be measured is imaged on a screen (30). The radiation spot (11) is formed by causing a beam (2) to be incident on the surface (10). The screen (30) is imaged on a position-sensitive radiation detection system (50) by means of a second imaging system (40). The screen (30) is formed in such a way that radiation coming from the surface (10) and grazing the screen (30) leaves this screen in a substantially perpendicular direction towards the detection system (50). It is thereby achieved that a high correlation of the position of the image (51) on the detection system (50) with respect to the height (ΔZ) of the surface (10) is combined with a substantially perpendicular incidence of radiation on and hence little reflection from the surface of the radiation detection system (50).

Abstract: A pollutant containing engine exhaust stream is treated upon cold startup by first flowing the engine exhaust stream, which is relatively cool, over an adsorbent zone [5] which comprises an adsorbent bed, i.e., a molecular sieve bed, capable of preferentially adsorbing pollutants such as hydrocarbons. This provides a first exhaust stream which is flowed over a primary catalyst [7] which converts the pollutants to innocuous compounds and then discharging the resultant treated exhaust stream to the atmosphere. When the adsorbent bed reaches a temperature of 150 to 200⁰C, the entire engine exhaust stream is completely diverted over the primary catalyst [7]. When the inlet temperature to the primary catalyst [7] has reached 350 to 400°C, a minor portion of the engine exhaust stream is diverted over the adsorbent bed to desorb the pollutants adsorbed on the bed and carry them over the primary catalyst where they are converted to innocuous components. After a certain amount of time, the entire engine exhaust stream is again diverted over the primary catalyst [7], thereby isolating the adsorbent bed to minimize deterioration. The adsorbent zone [5] may also have a secondary catalyst bed arranged immediately after it.

Abstract: These superconducting circuit elements, namely SNS heterostructures, such as, e.g. Josephson junctions and field-effect transistors, have a sandwich structure consisting of at least one layer (8) of high-T c  superconductor material arranged adjacent to a metallic substrate (9), possibly with an insulating layer (10) in between, the substrate (9), the superconductor (8) and -if present- the insulator (10) all consisting of materials having at least approximately matching molecular structures and lattice constants. Electrical contacts, such as source, drain and gate electrodes (11, 12, 13) are attached to the superconductor layer (8) and to the substrate (9), respectively. The electrically conductive substrate (9) consists of a metallic oxide such as strontium ruthenate Sr₂RuO₄, whereas the superconductor layer (8) is of the copper oxide type and may be YBa₂Cu₃O 7-δ  , for example. The insulator layer (10) may consist of SrTiO₃. 
     The manufacture of these devices starts with the preparation of the substrate material from a 2:1,1 molar ratio of SrCO₃ to RuO₂ and involves a floating zone melting process yielding single crystals of the strontium ruthenate Sr₂RuO₄ material onto whose (001) surface the superconductor layer (8) as well as the barrier layer (10) can be epitaxially deposited.

Abstract: L'addition de quantités relativement petites d'une cellulose bactérienne à des fluides de fracture hydraulique améliore leurs propriétés rhéologiques pour la cassure hydraulique de formations géologiques. Une suspension d'étançonnement est considérablement améliorée et les pertes de friction dans les cuvelages des puits sont réduites de manière significative, ce qui se traduit par des besoins en énergie de pompage moindres. Des modèles informatiques indiquent si les fractures de la formation se propageront sur des distances plus grandes que la partie étançonnée de la fracture. Normalement, uniquement environ 0,60 à 1,8 g de cellulose bactérienne par litre de fluide de fracture est nécessaire. Une cellulose bactérienne préférée est produite dans des cuves de fermentation avec agitateur en utilisant des souches résistantes à la mutation d'une bactérie provenant du genre Acetobacter.

Abstract: An optical pickup head for operating on an information recording medium includes a light source for emitting a light beam. A transparent base plate has opposite surfaces formed with a semitransparent film and a hologram respectively. The semitransparent film is exposed to the light beam emitted from the light source, and reflects a portion of the light beam emitted from the light source. The portion of the light beam which is reflected by the semitransparent film forms a forward light beam. A condenser optical system serves to focus the forward light beam on the information recording medium. The forward light beam is reflected at the information recording medium, and forms a backward light beam. The backward light beam successively passes through the condenser optical system, the semitransparent film, and the transparent base plate, and then reaches the hologram. The hologram generates a backward +1-order diffraction light beam from the backward light beam. A plurality of photodetectors serve to receive the +1-order diffraction light beam and to convert the received +1-order diffraction light beam into corresponding electric signals respectively.
