Patent EP-0150945-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 1985-01-14
Abstract: A method and means for measuring and/or determining 
characteristics of a material by analyzing the characteristics of 
an energy beam incident upon and affected by the sample. 
Polarized radiant energy reflected and/or transmitted by the 
material sample is analyzed to infer optical properties such as 
index of refraction, and physical properties such as material 
thickness. The invention is not subject to the disadvantages of 
prior art measuring systems, in that absolute detected light 
values are not used, measurement of varying wavelengths of 
light are not necessary, surface defects contribute a balanced 
effect in the calculations so as to effectively cancel out, highly 
accurate angular measuring devices are not needed, precision 
nulling instruments are avoided, system parameter drift effects 
upon the measurement is avoided, inter alia. According to the 
invention, a method and means are provided for measuring an 
optical property of a thin material sample having a transmission 
efficiency of greater than zero for an impinging beam of radiant 
energy. A source beam of radiant energy at a given wavelength 
and of varying polarization direction is provided, and the polari­
zation-varying beam is directed onto an entry surface of the 
thin material sample at a predetermined angle with respect 
thereto. The beam leaving the sample is analyzed to determine 
the relative amplitudes of first and second polarized compo­
nents thereof. The optical property of the sample is determined 
from a mathematical model equating the optical property to a 
relationship between said wavelength of the source beam, the 
predetermined angle, and the results of detecting and analyz­
ing the beam exiting the sample.

Abstract: A Composite semipermeable membrane comprises:
  (a) a flexible film of microporous polytetrafluoroethylene or other hydrophobic material having a water vapour transmission rate in excess of 10,000 g/m<2> - 24 hours, preferably above 100,000 g/m<2> . 24 hours, and an advancing water contact angle exceeding 90 degrees, and
 (b) a continuous. crosslinked amorphous hydrophilic layer preferably of polyoxyethylene polythioether penetrated to an extent into the face of the hydrophobic layer. The hydrophilic layer provides a composite membrane having a water vapour transmission rate of the complete ensemble comparable to or even exceeding that of the hydrophobic material alone, and simultaneously offering two mechanisms of separation; that imposed by the microporous hydrophobic material and that imposed by the hydrophilic layer, and as such is capable of numerous separation operations. The crosslinkable and crosslinked hydrophilic polyoxyethylene polythioether materials are new chemical formulations.

Title: A method and apparatus for applying a weld bead to a thin section of a substrate and an article of manufacture
IPC: C23C4/12
Filed: 1987-02-18
Abstract: The welding method is used to lay down weld beads on metallic substrates with a thin section, e.g., of down to 0.030 inch. The process employs a plasma transferred arc which is generated at low current, e.g., between 0.5 amps and 60 amps, and with a very high superimposed frequency, e.g., 15 kHz. A low amount of heat is generated so that the thin section is not burned through. The welding powder is delivered into the arc and becomes metallurgically bonded to the substrate.

supply package (3) is varied. The present 
invention determines a jet duration and jet pressure in the groups of 
subnozzles (12) at an optimum condition
