Abstract: The sensor provides a termination for the guide along which the signal is propagated, which termination is capable of completely absorbing the incident energy and converting it into heat. The termination is in thermal contact with a monocrystal or with a layer of crystals, for example of ruby (oxide of aluminium), which is capable of being illuminated by one or more sources of light with a predetermined and sinusoidally modulated wavelength, in order to emit fluorescent radiation at a second wavelength, the phase displacement of which with regard to the modulating phase is a function of the temperature of the termination, and thus a function of the incident energy. For radio-frequency and microwave measurements, the termination terminates the coaxial cable or the wave-guide with the characteristic impedance and comprises a layer of metal deposited on the monocrystal or on the layer of ruby crystals. In the case of measurements of optical power, the termination is constituted by a black body which the input optical fiber abuts, the black body being in a thermal exchange relationship with the monocrystal or with the layer of ruby crystals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are in communication with a filler material (2) or a preform, at least at some point during the process, which permits molten matrix metal (3) to spontaneously infiltrate the filler material (2) or preform. Such spontaneous infiltration occurs without the requirement for the application of any pressure or vacuum.

Abstract: Un générateur de vibrations permet d'éviter des résonances de la charpente de support sur toute la plage de fréquences de fonctionnement et d'appliquer la course de la table dans sa totalité, selon le diagramme de fonctionnement. Le générateur de vibrations se compose de l'aimant (1) qui comprend la table de travail (2) et la charpente de support (3) sur laquelle est monté l'aimant (1). L'aimant (1) est monté dans la coulisse de la charpente de support (3) au moyen d'un système de ressorts accordé bas composé d'une pièce intermédiaire (4), de ressorts (5), d'un pivot (6) et d'une flasque (7). Ce système de ressort présente sa fréquence de résonance propre dans le domaine inférieur des fréquences de fonctionnement. Afin d'éviter cette fréquence de résonance, un système supplémentaire de ressorts accordé haut peut être branché et débranché au-dessus du premier. A cet effet, la pièce intermédiaire présente des alésages (8) diamétralement opposés de réception de pistons de blocage (9). Ces alésages (8) sont remplis d'huile et sont reliés à un conduit (10) dans lequel est agencée une soupape à siège (12). Lorsque la soupape (12) ferme le conduit (10), les chambres à huile transmettent les forces de réaction de l'aimant (1) directement à la charpente de support.

From a water-insol. chitosan and a gel-form chitosan a fine particulate blacking material and a gel-form blacking material are produced, respectively, when a water-soluble chitosan or a chitosan oligosaccharide, D-glucosamine, or an inorganic or organic salt of these is used, a liq. blacking material is obtd. The colouring treatment is carried out in the presence of water-soluble Na salts, K salts, Mg salts, Ca slats, Ba salts, Zr salts, Fe salts, Ni salts, Al salts or silicates. The fine particulate blacking material is produced by contacting the gel-form blacking material with an alkaline aq. soln. or by pulverising a thin black film formed from the gel-form blacking material. A fine particulate blacking material is produced by dyeing a natural or synthetic polymer material with the gel-form or the liq. blacking material in the presence of the water-soluble salts. The black iron oxide can be dyed by fixing the gel-form or liq. blacking material on its surface in the presence of the water-soluble salts.

Abstract: In a method for controlling the driving speed of draw plates in a multi-stage straight-lined wire drawing machine operating without slip, in which each drawing die is assigned one draw plate and each draw plate is driven by means of a speed-regulated or speed-controlled drive, the adaptation of the speeds of the individual drawing-die drives to the process-related parameters (wire diameter or reduction in wire cross-section) in the starting phase of the wire drawing machine is performed in a setpoint cascade via a feeler-roll position control which automatically matches the setpoint cascade, matching being proportional to the speed ratios of the draw-plate drives and independent of the absolute speeds or setpoints, and the feeler rolls (4) are transferred slowly into an end position for the continuous transition to direct straight-lined drawing by a control command to the feeler-roll position control, and the further control of the driving speed is assumed by the known back tension regulation or control method in straight-lined drawing mode and the feeler rolls (4) are guided out of the region of the wire. <IMAGE>
