Inventor: DRABAREK PAWEL
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 1998-05-26
Abstract: An interferometric device for surface shape measurement of a test object (7) comprises a short-coherence source (1) producing a radiation beam which is divided (at ST1) into a first subbeam (3) directed to the surface (7.1,7.2) and a second subbeam reflected by a device (8,9,10) which periodically changes its path length: means (ST1) for combining the subbeam returning from the surface with the reflected second subbeam; and a detector (11) for the interference maximum. Poorly accessible points are measured by dividing (16) the first subbeam into reference (19) and measurement subbeams (18,20) guided respectively to a reference mirror (13) and measurement points (7.1, 7.2). The interference maxima of all the subbeams can be detected separately since the reference beam (19) and measurement subbeam (20) reach one detector (11.1) at a different times, and the other measurement subbeam (20) is directed to a different detector (11.2) eg by using polarising beamsplitters (16, ST1).

Patent GB-2343327-A (GB)
Title: Conference call with interacting call appearances
Inventor: AHUJA SUDHIR RAMAN
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 1999-10-05
Abstract: Interacting call appearances are realized by enabling voice input/output to be simultaneously available on any combination of call appearances at a given time on a given terminal. Consequently, a user may, for example, listen to the voice output of one or more call appearances that are active at the terminal at a given time. Additionally, the user may direct voice input to one or more call appearances that are active at the terminal at a given time. Thus, the user, at any given time, may listen or speak to one or more parties on unrelated calls. Additionally, a user can employ more than one voice input/output device at his/her terminal. Specifically, the ability to simultaneously use more than one call appearance at a terminal at a given time is realized by separating call control from media routing and input/output control. Thus, the appearance of a call at a terminal is separated from the voice input/output that is required for the call. To this end, a user terminal or resources available to it must have the capability of mixing multiple channels of audio, as well as, the capability of multiplexing/demultiplexing voice inputs and outputs into and from line appearances.

Title: Stabilisation of an unnecessary thin film formed on the furnace walls during chemical vapour deposition process
Inventor: ICHIKAWA MASASHI
IPC: C23C16/44
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: In a reactor furnace a plurality of silicon nitride film-forming processes are performed to produce a desired thin film. The temperature of the furnace is changed from the film-forming temperature to another one lower than the film-forming temperature before an unnecessary-silicon-nitride film cracks in the reactor furnace. The unnecessary-silicon-nitride film is intentionally subjected to stress and is cracked so as to relieve it from stress. After that, the thus-cracked film is covered with another silicon nitride film serving as a repair film, to prevent the unnecessary thin film from producing contaminant particles in forming the desired thin film.

Title: Method of making shaped ceramic composites
IPC: C04B35/10
Filed: 1987-12-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic composite by the oxidation of a parent metal (10) to form a polycrystalline ceramic material consisting essentially of the oxidation reaction product of the parent metal (10) with an oxidant, including a vapor-phase oxidant, and, optionally, one or more metallic constituents. A permeable filler material, such as a preform (14), with at least one surface bearing a permeble stratum (18), is contacted with a body of molten parent metal (10) heated to a temperature above its melting point but below the melting point of the oxidation reaction product. At least a portion of the oxidation reaction product is maintained in contact with and between the molten metal (10) and oxidant to transport the molten metal through the oxidation reaction product toward the permeable stratum (18) and into contact with the oxidant so that the oxidation reaction product continues to form at the interface between the oxidant and previously formed oxidation reaction product that has infiltrated the filler material. The reaction is continued to infiltrate at least a portion of the stratum (18) with the oxidation reaction product and to produce an intermediate ceramic body having an adjacent ceramic composite overlaid with a ceramic stratum. The ceramic stratum is removed from the underlying ceramic composite to produce a self-supporting ceramic composite having the surface established by the permeable stratum (18).
