Abstract: An oxygen sensor is disposed downstream from a
catalyst for purifying exhaust gas from an internal
combustion engine and which can suppress an influence
of unburnt hydrocarbon on an output voltage. After
forming a platinum thin film on the outer periphery of
a zirconia ceramic body, only a detection electrode of
the ceramic body is dipped in a silver nitrate aqueous
solution of 0.1 mol/l, and the silver nitrate is
pyrolyzed through a heat treatment. Subsequently, a
platinum reference electrode is formed on the inner
periphery of the ceramic body. To protect the silver-doped
detection electrode, a protective layer is
formed on the surface of the detection electrode. By
the exposure to combustion gas and through aging, a
detection element is formed, and set into a metal case
together with a cylindrical heater, to complete an
oxygen sensor to be disposed downstream from a CNG
engine catalyst.

Abstract: The method involves adjusting and keeping a distance between the surface of a print carrier (14) to be imprinted, which borders on a print support (10), and a print head (24) movable in parallel to it. The print head is connected with a switch (26) which contacts the print support or the print carrier. Changes in the distance between the print carrier surface and the print support are determined during an idle pass of the print head over the inserted print carrier, according to their position within the path of the print head and to their size. The velocity of the print head is controlled during a printing pass in dependence on the position and size of the determined distance changes, in such way, that a maximum velocity is reached without distortion of the printed image.

Abstract: A thermal barrier coating system and a
method for forming the coating system on an article
designed for use in a hostile thermal environment,
such as superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor
components of a gas turbine engine. The coating
system (20) includes a carburized zone (28) at the
surface (22) of a component on which a thermal barrier
coating system is to be formed. An aluminum-rich bond
coat (24) is then formed on the carburized surface
(28), followed by oxidation of the bond coat to form
an aluminum oxide layer. A thermal insulating ceramic
layer (26) is then formed on the oxide layer, so as to
be chemically bonded thereto. According to the
invention, appropriately carburizing the surface of a
component serves to form carbides that tie up
refractory metals present in the underlying superalloy
substrate of the component, and thereby prevents the
detrimental effects of these metals on the bond coat-oxide
layer interface. The benefit of the carburized
zone is particularly notable where the component is a
superalloy containing relatively high levels of one or
more refractory metals, such as tantalum, tungsten,
molybdenum, rhenium, titanium, chromium, hafnium and
zirconium.

Abstract: Le procédé s'appliquant à la protéine générique (GP) est un système exécuté par ordinateur et consistant à déterminer la structure tridimensionnelle d'une protéine à partir de sa séquence d'acides aminés. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à réaliser une approche hiérarchique dans laquelle le nombre de structures candidates décroît à chaque étape. Le point de départ de l'analyse est l'utilisation d'un ensemble de structures compactes ne dépendant pas d'une séquence et qui représente une énumération exhaustive de toutes les topologies repliées possibles, qui ne s'entrecoupent pas, d'un polypeptide résiduel n. Du fait de l'importante réduction du nombre de conformations de candidats, des filtres de reconnaissance tels que le rayon de rotation, la répartition de restes hydrophobes et la satisfaction de contraintes de bisulfure peuvent être utilisés pour réduire ensuite le nombre de conformations de candidats. La complexité du problème de prédiction de la structure initiale ab initio peut être réduite à une complexité de l'ordre d'un essai de modélisation par homologie. L'étape finale d'affinage peut comporter des procédures de mécanique moléculaire à l'aide de paramètres de solvatation explicites sur des représentations d'atomes complets des structures candidates restantes.
