Abstract: The invention relates to a roll-bonded titanium sheet ( 6 ), a shaped component manufactured therefrom ( 10 ) and a method for manufacturing the titanium sheet ( 6 ) and the shaped component ( 10 ). In order to achieve a high-temperature-resistant shaped component ( 10 ), a titanium sheet ( 2 ) is roll-bonded at least on one side with aluminium foil ( 4 ) whose thickness (d) is small compared with the thickness (D) of the titanium sheet ( 2 ). As a result of heat treatment of the roll-bonded titanium sheet ( 6 ), the aluminium and titanium from the adjoining region are converted to an aluminium-titanium alloy. The outer titanium-aluminium-alloy layer of the titanium sheet ( 6 ) thus formed is converted by contact with oxygen into a titanium-aluminium-mixed oxide layer which gives the titanium sheet ( 6 ) good corrosion protection. The forming of the shaped component ( 10 ) preferably takes place before the heat treatment for alloy formation because the roll-bonded titanium sheet ( 6 ) is then still slightly deformable.

Abstract: A method of performing a magnetic resonance analysis of a biological object that includes placing the object in a main magnetic field (that has a static field direction) and in a radio frequency field; rotating the object at a frequency of less than about 100 Hz around an axis positioned at an angle of about 54°44' relative to the main magnetic static field direction; pulsing the radio frequency to provide a sequence that includes a phase-corrected magic angle turning pulse segment; and collecting data generated by the pulsed radio frequency. The object may be reoriented about the magic angle axis between three predetermined positions that are related to each other by 120°. The main magnetic field may be rotated mechanically or electronically. Methods for magnetic resonance imaging of the object are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, whereby a gate layer stack consisting of at least two layers (3 and 5) is initially structured anisotropically and the bottom layer (3) is then etched, wherein an isotropic, preferably a selective etching step causes lateral underetching, i.e. removal of the bottom layer (3) to a predetermined channel length. A T-Gate transistor with very short channel length can be accurately, easily and economically produced with the aid of the inventive method. The electrical switching properties of said transistor are better than those of other T-gate transistors formed with conventional methods.

Abstract: A concrete cutting machine for remoting the upper layer of a concrete layer and free the outmost layer of reinforcement bars in the concrete, comprises a vehicle (11) with a transverse feed beam (22) that carries a carrier with two water jet nozzles (31, 32) mounted together on an elongated holder (30). The holder (30) is swingable about an axis transverse to the feed beam so as to provide for an angle of attack of the jets in both carrier moving directions when the carrier is reciprocated along the feed beam in concrete cutting sweeps. The holder (30) is also oscillated transverse to the feed beam. The angle between the jets is between (10 and 50) degrees as seen in the plane of oscillations and this provides for a freeing of the reinforcing rods whatever directions they have.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling the production of oil or gas from a formation ( 1 ) comprising that a first and second drilled production well ( 105, 110 ) are formed next to each other that extend essentially horizontally, that, at the drilled production wells, a further drilled well ( 115 ) is formed that extends between the first and the second drilled production well ( 105, 110 ), that the production of oil or gas is initiated, and that, while oil or gas is being produced, a liquid is conveyed to said further drilled well ( 115 ) and out into the formation ( 1 ) for a first period of time T<SUB>1</SUB>. The invention is characterised in that the pore pressure of the formation is influenced during the period T<SUB>1 </SUB>with the object of subsequently controlling the formation of fractures along a drilled well, typically across large distances in the reservoir. Such influence is accomplished partly by production in adjacent wells, partly by injection at low rate without fracturing in the well in which the fracture is to originate. Injection at low rate presupposes that an at least approximated determination is performed of the maximally allowable injection rate I<SUB>max </SUB>for the period T<SUB>1 </SUB>in order to avoid fracturing ruptures in said further drilled well ( 115 ) when liquid is supplied by the injection rate I for the liquid supplied to the further drilled well being kept below said maximally allowable injection rate I<SUB>max </SUB>for said first period of time T<SUB>1 </SUB>when the relation sigma'<SUB>hole,min</SUB><=sigma'<SUB>h </SUB>has been complied with.
