Abstract: L'invention concerne des films et articles de nanotubes ainsi que leurs procédés de fabrication. Un article conducteur comporte un ensemble de segments de nanotubes dans lequel lesdits segments sont en contact avec d'autres segments de nanotubes pour définir une pluralité de chemins conducteurs le long de l'article. Les segments de nanotubes peuvent être des nanotubes de carbone à paroi simple ou à plusieurs parois. Les divers segments, qui peuvent être de longueurs différentes, peuvent comporter des segments qui sont moins longs que l'article. Les articles ainsi formés peuvent être déposés sur des substrats, et peuvent former un réseau électrique de nanotubes à l'intérieur dudit article. Des articles conducteurs peuvent être fabriqués sur un substrat par formation sur ce dernier d'une structure de nanotubes, et par définition d'un motif dans la structure au sein de laquelle le motif correspond à l'article conducteur. On peut former la structure de nanotubes en développant sur le substrat ladite structure au moyen  d'un catalyseur, par exemple, qui est un catalyseur en phase gazeuse ou un catalyseur en phase gazeuse métallique. On peut former la structure de nanotubes en déposant sur le substrat une solution de nanotubes suspendus. La solution déposée peut être filée de façon à créer un revêtement par centrifugation de ladite solution. On peut également la déposer en immergeant le substrat dans la solution. La structure de nanotubes est formée par pulvérisation d'un aérosol présentant des nanotubes sur une surface du substrat.

Abstract: A method and arrangement are provided for guiding a drive chain in an area of a reversing chain wheel of a pedestrian conveyor system. The drive chain contains plate link elements, connecting elements connecting the plate link elements in leading and trailing coupling areas of the respective plate link elements, and guide rolls respectively located in the spaces between the coupling areas. The arrangement is such that the drive chain is guided into the chain wheel so that, as seen in the direction of movement, the connecting element in a leading coupling area of one plate link element is guided into an associated reception area of the chain wheel. The guiding roll of that plate link element is then brought into a corresponding cap-shaped indentation of the reversing wheel. The connecting element of the trailing coupling area of same plate link element is guided into an associated reception area of the reversing wheel after the guiding roll of that plate link element is supported by the cap-shaped indentation in an elastically cushioned manner. The guiding roll of a subsequent plate link element, as seen in the direction of movement, is supported on a guiding profile until the connecting element in the trailing coupling area of the preceding plate link element is introduced into the associated reception area.

Abstract: A recording apparatus can be prevented from becoming dirty, for example, due to incorrectly loading a recording medium. If a width of the recording medium that has been detected by the detection means is shorter than a width, in the direction that intersects the carrying direction of the recording medium, over which the recording information is to be recorded, then a portion of the recording information, of the entire recording information, corresponding to the width, or to less than the width, of the recording medium that has been detected by the detection means is recorded onto the recording medium by the recording head. A notice is made when the width of the recording medium that has been detected by the detection means is different from a width of the size of the recording medium that has been set with the setting means. The ON/OFF of an operation through which the detection means detects the width of the recording medium is settable. <IMAGE>
