Abstract: A welding torch which combines features of both laser and plasma-arc welding torches. A laser beam (114) is directed by an objective lens (112) so that it is co-linear with the central axis (41) of a plasma-arc torch. The laser beam (114) passes through a planar or conical cathode electrode (116) placed at the bottom orifice of the torch. A coaxial aperture (117) having a diameter less than that of the laser beam is drilled into the cathode (116) to allow the laser beam to pass through the cathode. A constricting nozzle (130) placed under the cathode (116), with the laser beam passing through the axis of the nozzle. As with standard plasma-arc torch, a gas is forced through a chamber having the cathode (116) and nozzle (130) at its bottom end. As the cathode (116) is heated by the laser radiation, the gas is ionized and a plasma-arc is formed. As the laser beam passes through the nozzle (130), it comes to a focus and interacts with the plasma-arc formed between the cathode and a workpiece. The resulting interactions between the plasma-arc and laser beam form a plasma-laser discharge which acts to additionally constrict the laser beam and plasma-arc and increase the energy density of the welding spot formed on the workpiece. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Ink of the present invention is used in an on-demand ink-jet printing system wherein droplets of ink are discharged through a nozzle by heating, and comprises (i) a colorant, (ii) a chelating agent which links with a metal ion to form a water-soluble complex and (iii) water or a mixture of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, wherein the chelating agent is contained in the amount enough to convert the metal ion in ink into the complex and the pH is from 6 to 10, thereby making it possible to prevent that an insoluble matter derived from the metal ion is adhered on a heating head to cause clogging of the orifice and printing failures.

Abstract: A laminated integrally woven on-machine-seamable papermaker's fabric includes two single-layer woven fabric plies sharing a common machine-direction (MD) yarn. The common MD yarn, which is the weft yarn on the loom during the weaving of the fabric by a modified endless weaving technique, forms seaming loops which join the plies to one another at the ends thereof. The fabric may be needled with a batt of staple fiber material. During the weaving of the press fabric, solvent-removable binder yarns join the two plies, which are accordingly integrally woven. When the weaving is completed, the solvent-removable binder yarns are removed through dissolution with an appropriate solvent, yielding the laminated structure. A batt of staple fiber material may be needled into and through the laminated structure. The papermaker's fabric may be used as a forming, press or dryer fabric, or as a base for a polymer-coated, paper industry process belt, such as a long nip press, sheet-transfer or calender belt.

Abstract: An apparatus for tracking the varying resonant frequency of an electrically resonant structure, characterized by: a variable frequency oscillator providing an excitation signal of a variable frequency encompassing the possible resonant frequency range of the resonant structure, a bidirectional RF transmission line connecting the variable frequency oscillator and the resonant structure, the transmission line incorporating a directional coupler which generates a directional coupler signal proportional to the reflected signal from the resonant structure, the directional coupler signal being conditioned by a processor to provide a feedback signal to the input of the variable frequency oscillator, such that the mean frequency of the excitation signal is caused to continuously track the varying resonant frequency resonant structure. Typically the tracking of the varying resonant frequency involves at least two functions, a first search function for initially searching the possible resonant frequency range of the resonant structure and, once resonance of the resonant structure is established, a second following function for following the variable resonant frequency as it varies as a function of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes and apparatus for the production of a virgin polymer substitute from cured scrap rubber, such as automobile tires, which does not involve the use of solvents or other chemicals and which substantially maintains the physical properties of the virgin material in the substitute. The process and apparatus may perform an initial analysis of the scrap material to be treated and determination of the process parameters for that particular material. Actual treatment of the material comprises grinding of the scrap rubber and preconditioning the ground material by subjecting it to warm dry air prior to subsequent treatment in a high temperature and pressure environment. The high temperature and pressure environment is created by means of a pressure vessel into which the preconditioned material is introduced, thereafter exposing the material to a variable high pressure and temperature environment which is controlled to optimize devulcanization of the material. Continuous agitation of the material during treatment serves to insure uniform heating and exposure of materials, thereby producing a substitute which can be used without substantial diminution in physical properties such as tensile and tear strength.
