Inventor: FRITZ JAMES E
IPC: C06C5/04
Filed: 1996-09-24
Abstract: A connector block (10) includes a clip member (30) which cooperates with the signal transmission end (12a) of body member (12) to define therebetween an arcuate line-retaining slot (32) within which one or more signal transmission lines (40) are received in explosive signal communication with the output end (16a) of a detonator (16). Clip member (30) is of decreasing thickness as sensed moving from the proximal end (30b) thereof towards at least its mid-point and is preferably of undiminished width from the proximal end (30b) thereof to the open end (32b) of the line-retaining slot (32). These features and the configuration of the entryway (34) cooperate to facilitate lateral insertion of signal transmission lines (40) into the line-retaining slot (32) and their retention therein over a broad temperature range of use, and provide excellent shrapnel shielding.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé d'ajustement de la luminance IMHI des pixels d'une image à haute résolution qui consiste à former une image à basse résolution de l'original en regroupant les pixels en superpixels par exemple par blocs 8x8. On calcule une valeur de correction de luminance à basse résolution pour chaque superpixel en comparant la luminance du superpixel à la fois à un seuil de noirceur préétabli TD et à un seuil de brillance préétabli TB. On modifie la valeur de correction de la luminance à basse résolution δLO de façon à produire pour chaque superpixel une valeur δ'LO en formant des îlots de superpixels et en lissant la valeur δLO entre les superpixels se trouvant à l'intérieur de chaque îlot. Enfin, on calcule une valeur de correction de luminance à haute résolution δHI pour chaque pixel de l'original à haute résolution en comparant la luminance IMHI de chaque pixel à la fois à TD et à TB, en prenant en compte le fait que δHI est généré par l'intermédiaire d'une série de calculs mathématiques en fonction à la fois de la luminance du pixel IMHI et de la valeur de correction de luminance à basse résolution δLO. On ajuste ainsi chaque pixel de l'image originale de la valeur de correction de luminance à haute résolution correspondante δHI et l'on produit une image à luminance ajustée.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne des compositions d'encre aqueuses améliorées à base de pigment, destinées à être utilisées dans des jets d'encre, ainsi que des procédés permettant d'améliorer et/ou de réguler la densité optique et la netteté d'impression des encres à base de pigment et de celles à base de colorant. La composition d'encre améliorée comprend une classe de composés d'ammonium quaternaire organique qui améliorent la densité optique et la netteté d'impression des encres. D'autres améliorations comprennent l'utilisation d'un oxyde de polyalkylène qui permet d'adapter l'impédance de l'encre à la vitesse de formation de gouttelettes afin d'obtenir des vitesses de formation de gouttelettes pouvant aller jusqu'à 8000 par seconde. Ces vitesses élevées de formation de gouttelettes permettent d'atteindre des vitesses d'écriture plus rapides et une meilleure résolution de l'imprimante. Une autre amélioration de la composition d'encre pour jet d'encre concerne l'adjonction d'urée, de dérivés d'urée et de composés thiol. Ces composés empêchent l'accumulation d'encre sèche au niveau du jet d'encre et par conséquent l'obstruction et l'engorgement dudit jet d'encre.

Abstract: A method for micromolding ceramic articles and structures having
spatial features as small as 0.1 µm and having a depth ranging from 2.0 µm to
100 µm. A master mold of the article or structure to be molded is first fabricated
using a silicon wafer and dry etching technology. A negative master mold (46) is then
produced by placing the silicon master mold device in a surrounding mold form (40) and
filling the surrounding mold form with a silicone or silicone rubber, preferably an
RTV™ (a room temperature-vulcanizing silicone rubber compound). Such
material replicates each of the micro features of the master mold (46) in great detail to a
resolution on the order of 0.1 µm. The negative master mold is then used in a die (49)
to mold the desired individual elements or structures from a ceramic powder which
is capable of replicating each of the micro features of the negative master mold (46) to
the desired resolution. Depending on the resolution required in a particular
micromolded element, it may be necessary to use ceramic nano-particles in the
micromolding process. For resolution of spatial features having dimensions as
small as 0.1 µm and a depth of 2.0 µm, ceramic nano-particles ranging in size from
0.01 µm to 0.02 µm can be used to micromold these features. If an integral
structure is to be created from multiple micromolded ceramic elements, the
elements are first assembled prior to sintering. Sintering results in an integration of
the assembled elements to form a contiguous structure. A single element, or
alternatively, multiple elements can be molded simultaneously from the same mold
cavity preferably using a dry pressing process or, in the alternative, a cold isostatic
pressing process. In order to simultaneously mold multiple elements, it is
necessary to produce an integral master mold device configured to yield a negative
master which produces a sheet of integrally formed elements. The sheet of
integrally formed elements can then be cut into individual elements.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an arithmetic circuit composed of a small number of parts, which can perform high-speed arithmetic operations for calculating a square-root of a sum of squares of two numbers. An arithmetic circuit according to the present invention provides absolute values of two inputs S in1  and S in2  are determined by absolute value calculators (1 and 2) respectively and are compared with each other by an absolute value comparator (3). According to the comparison result, a multiplexer (4) selects the smaller of the two absolute values and a multiplexer (5) selects the larger of the two absolute values. The smaller absolute value is shifted by a 2-bit right shifter (6) and by a 3-bit right shifter (7) respectively and the obtained results are added together by a (N-2)-bit adder (8). The sum of the shifted values is then added by a N-bit adder (9) to the larger absolute value. A square-root of the square-sum of two inputs S in1  and S in2  is thus approximately determined.

Abstract: The core of the disclosed novel quantum cascade (QC) laser comprises a multiplicity of nominally identical repeat units (11), with a given repeat unit comprising a superlattice active region (12) and a carrier injector region (13). Associated with the superlattice active region is an upper and a lower energy miniband (171 and 161, respectively), with the lasing transition being the transition from the lower edge of the upper miniband to the upper edge of the lower miniband. The injector facilitates carrier transport from the lower miniband to the upper miniband of the adjacent downstream repeat unit. QC lasers according to this invention can be designed to emit in the infrared, e.g., in the wavelength region 3-15 µm, and can have high power.
