Title: Support a bouteilles de vin pour bricoleurs
Inventor: THERRIEN MICHEL
IPC: A47B73/00
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: Dans les supports ou casiers servant à entreposer les bouteilles de vin, certains sont munis de côtés ou de fixations permettant d'entreposer une quantité de bouteilles dans un espace défini. Même si certains sont emboîtables ou sous forme d'armoire, il est impossible de rapprocher la distance et la profondeur entre les rangées de bouteilles; ce qui permettrait de les entreposer dans un espace plus restreint. Certaines bouteilles sont très petites, si on les compare à d'autres; ce qui pourrait permettre d'économiser beaucoup d'espace. Surtout pour ceux et celles qui font leur vin et qui ont plusieurs centaines de bouteilles à entreposer. De plus, constituer un espace de rangement de cette envergure peut coûter cher. Dans la présente invention, seulement la partie du support servant à retenir les bouteilles est manufacturée; ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de le fixer sur les côtés de son choix et de différentes manières afin d'utiliser un minimum d'espace entre les rangées et en minimiser la profondeur pour les bouteilles de très petit format. Ce support peut être utilisé pour fabriquer des casiers ou armoires à vin ou permettre de concevoir, de façon économique, un cellier capable d'entreposer plusieurs centaines de bouteilles.

Title: Chemical plating method, electrolytic cell and automotive oxygen sensor using it
Inventor: REIDMEYER MARY R
IPC: G01N27/407
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: An automotive lambda oxygen sensor (1) is formed by electroless plating of a thin, catalytically active, conductive electrode (39) uniformly on the outer surface of a zirconia thimble (31). The process includes forming a pristine zirconia solid electrolyte thimble (31) and drilling out a cylindrical cavity (37) in it. A porous outer surface (55) suitable for producing crystallization sites is formed by dipping the unfired thimble in a zirconia slurry containing spray-dried microspheres and firing the coated thimble to densify the thimble and the microspheres and to produce cavities (57) on the surface of the thimble. An inner platinum electrode (41) is formed by conventional conductive ink painting on the axial cavity of the sensor, and the sensor is again fired. The surface is activated by immersion in an acetone chloroplatinic acid bath to form multiple crystallization points, heat treated, then plated in an electroless platinum bath to a desired thickness. After plating, the sensor is heat treated and a conventional spinel glaze coat is flame sprayed over the sensor. The process produces sensors which consistently provide rapid response times and stable operation.

Title: In situ projection optic metrology method and apparatus
Inventor: KREUZER JUSTIN L
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 2000-06-08
Abstract: Wavefront information for an optical system is calculated based on the intensity of an image of a plurality of gratings (16) having different periods and orientations taken from at least two different planes a predetermined distance apart. The image of a plurality of gratings having different spatial frequencies or periods and orientations, the location of which are precisely known, are imaged in a nominal focal plane (28) of the optical system, and, preferably, in two additional planes (26, 30) displaced a predetermined distance from the nominal focal plane (28). The phase shift, if any, from a fundamental frequency of the image intensity, is determined based on the known location of the grating (16) and the grating image intensity (40, 48, 50). The grating image intensity is detected and measured in a first detection plane in a nominal focal plane (38) and in a second detection plane a predetermined distance from the nominal focal plane (36, 40). From these measurements wavefront information is calculated. By utilizing a plurality of different gratings, the wavefront at different spatial locations in the optical system may be mapped, providing information relating to image quality. The present invention provides wavefront information, which is directly related to image quality, relatively easily and without having to remove the optical system from the device, such as a photolithographic device used in semiconductor manufacturing. The present invention is particularly applicable to optical systems designed for UV illumination, which tends to degrade or modify optics over time. More consistent, better quality imaging is obtained with reduced down time.

Inventor: LEMKE DAVID W
IPC: B65G21/20
Filed: 2000-10-30
Abstract: In conveying material, the product being conveyed is normally carried on a moving belt. Skirting is installed along the edge of the conveyor installation to prevent the material from spilling over the edge of the belt. When conveying abrasive materials, the stationary skirting can experience severe wear as the moving material rubs against it.  Also, the gap between the moving belt and stationary skirting is kept to a minimum to prevent spillage and jamming of the product being conveyed. Should the gap close so that the belt comes in contact with the skirting, there is danger of damage to the belt -particularly if the skirting is made from a non-yielding material such as hard metal. In this invention, the metal skirting is manufactured with an elastomer protective edge to eliminate the possibility of damage to the belt should the gap close.
