Patent EP-0806620-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUNBAR NEIL WILLIAM
IPC: F28D15/04
Filed: 1997-04-15
Abstract: In a capillary evaporator for use in a capillary pumped loop, in which capillary action in a porous wick 7 causes cold liquid to be drawn across the wick and vaporised by a heat input structure 6 and in particular fin 8 of that structure so that the vapour passes around a loop and rejects heat at a condenser in order to cool equipment in the vicinity of the evaporator, the vapour generated in the wick 7 from the liquid/vapour interface (meniscus) 11 is subject to a lower pressure drop than hitherto by virtue of spacer 14 of greater permeability and thermal conductivity than the wick 7 without the necessity for the meniscus 11 to recede from the fin 8 which would cause an undesirable temperature drop of the meniscus, thereby improving the capacity of the evaporator to pump liquid/vapour around the loop and thus transport heat.

Abstract: A method is provided of enhancing the aluminum interconnect properties in very fine metalization patterns interconnecting integrated circuits, to improve the texture and electromigration resistance of aluminum in thin films. Enhanced performance can be obtained by forming a smooth oxide layer in situ, or by surface conditioning a previously formed oxide layer in an appropriate manner to provide the requisite surface smoothness. The aluminum microstructure is then refined by hot deposition or ex-situ heat treatment.

Abstract: A single pass color printer (10) employs a band
drive (60) to move media sheets (12) through plural
developer stations (28,30,32,34). The band drive (60)
also provides motive power to drive, in common (via
frictional engagement with their respective
peripheries), all of the organic photoconductor (OPC)
rollers (36) that are present in the plural developer
stations (28,30,32,34) that are arrayed along the media
movement path. The use of the common band drive (60)
assures that the surface speeds of the OPC drums (36)
and media sheets (12) are synchronized at their
respective points of contact, thus eliminating much of
the station to station variations due to differences in
diameters and runout of the plural OPC rollers (36).

Abstract: A method of reducing trash recirculation into the fiber formation stream
of an open-end spinning machine yarn formation station of an open-end
spinning machine (1) of the type having a movable trash belt (18) which collects
trash removed from sliver during yarn formation, said spinning machine (1)
having a predetermined, relatively high, conventional trash belt speed,
comprising the steps of moving the trash belt (18) at a low speed determined by
the type of trash contained in the fiber, the type of yarn being spun and the
type of fabric to be formed from the yarn, but in no event more than 50 percent
of the conventional trash belt speed. The low speed of the trash belt (18) is
between 15 and 40 percent of conventional trash belt speed, with the low speed
increasing as the proportion of heavy to light trash in the trash mixture
increases. The low speed of the trash belt (18) is varied a further plus or minus
10 percent of the conventional trash belt speed, the low speed being increased
up to 10 percent for heavy yarn containing heavy trash and the low speed being
decreased up to 10 percent for fine yarns containing light trash with
proportional variation in the percentage of increase of decrease proportional to
the range of yarn size. The low speed of the trash belt (18) is altered when
needed to accommodate changes in trash mixture content, yarn size and yarn
trash content being processed on the machine. The trash is cleaned from the
trash belt (18) as the trash belt (18) moves at the low trash belt speed.

Ce dernier possède des branches supérieure et inférieure, les broches étant fixées sur un côté de chaque branche de sorte que les cellules de charge sont aisément accessibles d'un côté du chariot. Les branches supérieure et inférieure du chariot se fixent sélectivement à une pièce de guidage venant en prise par coulissement avec un élément de forme complémentaire assujetti sur le bâti de la machine pour permettre la fixation du chariot sur ce bâti, les cellules de charge étant disposées sur l'un ou l'autre côté des branches du chariot, permettant ainsi l'accès aux cellules de charge quelle que soit l'implantation de la machine. L'ensemble roue porteuse comporte un moteur et une boîte de vitesses intégrés avec et entraînant directement une vis à billes reliée au chariot pour rapprocher et éloigner la roue porteuse du pneumatique contrôlé.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'administration d'une composition à une zone cible de tissu, l'exposition d'un tissu non ciblé à cette composition étant réduite. L'appareil comprend au moins un axe de type aiguille inséré dans un passage du tissu non ciblé de façon à administrer la composition au tissu cible par une ouverture de l'axe. Le passage peut être une lumière naturelle telle qu'une lumière de vaisseau ou un passage créé chirurgicalement par un instrument de diagnostic ou par l'axe de type aiguille dudit appareil. Un mécanisme de type soupape ferme l'ouverture de l'axe de façon à empêcher une administration prématurée de la composition lors de l'insertion de cet axe, ou la perte de composition lors du retrait de cet axe. Le mécanisme de type soupape empêche également une administration excessive au tissu cible. Une barrière annulaire est montée sur une partie externe de l'axe, près de l'ouverture. Lorsque l'ouverture de l'axe est convenablement positionnée dans le tissu cible, la barrière se dilate radialement de façon à empêcher l'écoulement à partir de ce tissu, le long du passage à travers lequel l'axe est inséré, de quantités de composition destinées à être administrées au tissu cible.
