Abstract: The heat exchanger, and especially a steam-heated and powered rotating roller, has a rising pipe (14) of a siphon (12) for the condensation immersed in a collection groove (13) at the inner mantle of the hollow roller (2) and/or in the zone of the flange journal. The siphon (12) has a steam feed injector (16) at part of the height of its rising pipe (14). Preferred Features: The injector (16) is supplied with fresh steam taken from the center of the inner zone of the hollow roller (2). The fresh steam fed through the flange journal (4) is passed into the interior of the hollow roller (2) at the opposite side to the collection groove (13). The injector (16) has an adjustment to set its flow cross section and/or injection pressure as a control which acts on the slip steam pressure and/or flow. The slip steam, fed into the rising pipe (14) by the injector (16), gives a forced mixing action on the condensation rising in the pipe (14) to reduce the specific gravity of the resulting condensation/steam mixture so that, with a 10% steam content, the reducing slip steam content achieves minimum advance pressure levels.   The effective cross-section of the injector (16) and the rising pipe (14) are matched so that, in operation the pressure difference on condensation extraction gives a set slip steam addition for the economic working target, through the effective cross section ratio.

Inventor: GOOSEY MARTIN T
IPC: C23C18/16
Filed: 1998-10-16
Abstract: The invention includes processes for combined polymer surface treatment and metal
deposition. Processes of the invention include forming an aqueous solution containing a metal
activator, such as an oxidized species of silver, cobalt, ruthenium, cerium, iron, manganese,
nickel, rhodium, or vanadium. The activator ccan be suitably oxidized to a higher oxidation
state electrochemically. Exposing a part to be plated (such as an organic resin, e.g. a printed
circuit board substrate) to the solution enables reactive hydroxyl species (e.g. hydroxyl
radicals) to be generated and to texture the polymer surface. Such texturing facilitates good
plated metal adhesion. As part of this contacting process sufficient time is allowed for both
surface texturing to take place and for the oxidized metal activator to adsorb onto said part.
The part is then contacted with a reducing agent capable of reducing the metal activator to a
lower ionic form, or a lower oxidation state. That reduction can result in the formation of
metallic catalytic material over the surface of the part. The reduced metal activator can then
function to catalyze the electroless deposition of metal such as copper from solution by
contacting the part with the plating solution.

Abstract: The system uses detection of laser pulses in order to effect laser distance measurement. The laser pulse being detected is a pulse of weak amplitude and of very short duration. The spatial and temporal functions of the detection are divided between two detectors. The first detector is a rapid auxiliary detector whose speed of response enables identification of the precise instant at which the pulse arrives. The second detector is a matrix of detection cells whose integration time at the cellular detection level is very short (of the order of several microseconds). The blind periods corresponding to the return to zero of the detection cells are masked by the use of a double level of buffer memory (12,29) which are decoupled. The system is based on a hybrid conception, not using silicon CCD detection cells.
