Abstract: A method for heating a valve configuration of a steam turbine, includes the steps of directing steam to a closed valve of the valve configuration, condensing the steam in the valve, and discharging the condensate. The temperature is kept at the saturated-steam temperature corresponding to the respective steam pressure. The method is in particular suited for keeping a bypass-valve configuration hot. The bypass-valve configuration is intended for bypassing the steam turbine on the steam side. For this purpose, a steam line is connected to the valve configuration. The steam line has an inclined line section with a rising slope or a falling slope directly upstream of the valve configuration. A valve configuration for a steam turbine is also provided.

Abstract: A lean burn auto-ignition internal combustion engine which has a combustion volume which includes two parts one entering into the other, the volume of the second part being variable by control means (34) which takes into account the various operating parameters of the engine to ensure that auto-ignition takes place at a time which ensures maximum benefit from the ignited fuel charge. In a piston engine there is a secondary cylinder (30) and piston (31) entering into the main cylinder (10), the piston in the secondary cylinder being continuously movable to vary the compression ration of the combustion volume defined by the two pistons (11, 31) so that ignition takes place at a position of the movement of the main piston to ensure maximum utilization of the power generated by the ignited charge.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de dépôt à nucléation contrôlée, de couches ferroélectriques minces, par dépôt chimique en phase vapeur dans une nouvelle séquence de traitement. Ledit procédé permet de produire une densité supérieure de site de nucléation de bismuth, soit au moyen d'un élément substrat ayant été traité de sorte qu'une surface rugueuse modulable et reproductible soit obtenue, sur laquelle des films de SBT présentant d'excellentes propriétés peuvent être produits, soit au moyen d'une surface substrat modifiée chimiquement dont les propriétés chimique de surface sont modifiées. Les techniques classiques utilisées pour l'obtention de surfaces rugueuses consistent en l'attaque par ions réactifs, la gravure par ions inertes et le polissage mécanico-chimique, chacune pouvant être utilisée pour la délinéation d'électrodes de sole à motifs. Les propriétés chimiques du substrat peuvent être modifiées par dépôt d'alliage, dépôt de couches de germes qui sont ensuite partiellement ou intégralement diffusées et par implantation ionique avec ou sans traitement thermique et par modification de la chimie de la surface par une pré-exposition à des agents chimiques avant le dépôt. Les couches minces ferroélectriques d'oxyde résultantes peuvent être utilisées dans des condensateurs, des dispositifs à mémoire et similaire.

Abstract: A microwave applicator for applying electromagnetic radiation at microwave frequency includes a coaxial input for a microwave signal input and a waveguide for receiving and propagating the microwave signal input. Dielectric material is positioned within the waveguide and extends beyond the waveguide to form an antenna for radiating microwave energy. The coaxial input has direct in-line transition to the dielectric-filled waveguide. Preferably, this direct in-line transition is achieved by the central conductor of the coaxial input extending axially centrally into the waveguide so as to excite microwaves in the waveguide. A lateral conductor extends radially from the central conductor to assist the launch of the microwaves into the waveguide. Preferably, the applicator includes a temperature sensor which is directly connected to the coaxial input.

Abstract: So-called navigation links or navigation references are required in the area of optical three dimensional coordinate measuring techniques in order to be able to compile measured data of expanded objects from individual partial measurements in a mosaic-like manner. Conventional navigation links employ adhesive marks which require investment of time to fixing them onto and then remove them from the object to be measured, or employ structures which are difficult to transport. These disadvantages should be minimized. This is achieved by using a device as a navigation link essentially comprised of a grid-like component on which a plurality of measuring marks and a plurality of connecting elements each having a fastening device are attached.

Abstract: The invention herein relates to a method and apparatus for forming (or cold-forming) an embossed blister from a laminated film wherein an indicia is formed on the base of the blister. In particular, the invention involves a single pass process of combining the formation of a blister and the formation of an indicia (embossing) on the blister, wherein the blister-forming pin contains a face with an indicia and is adapted to controllably stretch the laminated film during blister formation to minimize stretching of the film at the base of the blister. The invention is particularly useful in manufacturing processes which involve the formation of blisters having laminated films which contain a metal foil and polymer layer, wherein improved control in the stretching of the laminate during blister formation is desirable.
