Abstract: Production of a component, with one or more ceramic-metal composite material regions, involves pressure impregnating a porous sacrificial ceramic precursor body with metal and/or metal alloy (BMe) and heating the filled body to cause reaction between the filled metal (BMe) and the metal constituent (KMe) of the ceramic to form a composite body with a ceramic phase, comprising KMemBx, KMenCy and/or KMeoCN and BMepO3, and a metallic phase of an intermetallic compound of the metal constituent (KMe) of the ceramic and the filled metal (BMe). The novelty is that (a) the sacrificial body (1) is positioned in a pressure casting tool so that it fills the tool cavity except for a free interspace (2); (b) the sacrificial body (1) is filled with the filling metal (BMe) during pressure casting of the component; and (c) the cast component is heated to or above the reaction temperature in the region of the filled sacrificial body (1). Also claimed is a component which includes (i) a ceramic-metal composite material (1) having a ceramic phase, comprising Al2O3 and one or more of the reaction products TiBx, TiCy and TiCN, and a metallic phase comprising an intermetallic compound of Al and Ti; and (ii) pressure cast intermediate elements which are in direct, preferably monolithic contact with the composite material and which have a material composition different from that of the composite material.

Abstract: A conventional optical fiber not coated with a metal layer is
provided. A solder layer is filled into between a case, for an
optical module wherein an optical element is optically coupled with
the optical fiber within the case, and a cover conforming to the
shape of the case, thereby simply conducting hermetical sealing.
Thereafter, a resin, such as a silicone resin, is potted in the

Abstract: A gas turbine vane (17) having an inner shroud (26) that is cooled by a portion of the
cooling air directed to a cavity (45) between two adjacent rows of discs (55, 56). A
portion of the cooling air in the cavity flows through impingement plates (83, 84) and
impinges on the inner (98) surface of the inner shroud (26). Another portion of the
cooling air flows through a passage (88) in the leading edge (42) of the inner shroud
that has a pin fin (89) array for enhanced cooling. The impingement plates form
chambers that collect both the impingement air and the pin fin passage air and direct it
through holes (92) in the trailing edge (43) of the inner shroud for cooling of the
trailing edge. Longitudinal passages (93, 94) along the side of the inner shroud direct
the cooling air from the pin fin passage to the trailing edge (43).

Abstract: A pressure swing adsorber air prepurifier includes at least first and second adsorbers
and a controller for controlling air feed to the adsorbers. The invention is a "realtime"
method for controlling cycle times for each adsorber and includes the following steps.
During a determined time period, flow is measured to an adsorber that is coupled to an
air inlet. An actual totalized flow to the on-line adsorber is accumulated, based upon the
measured flow values. During this time, air feed conditions are monitored and
periodically, a maximum totalized flow to the adsorber is calculated, determined, at
least in part, based upon the monitored air feed conditions. Periodically, the actual
totalized flow value is compared to a current calculated maximum totalized flow value
and upon a predetermined relationship therebetween being reached, the on-line adsorber
is decoupled from the air inlet and another adsorber is coupled thereto.

Abstract: A package bearing includes two cones that fit over a spindle on a wheel hub, a double
cup that surrounds the cones and is configured to bolt against the suspension system of a
vehicle, and tapered rollers that are located between opposed raceways on the cup and the two
cones. The cup at each of its ends has an end bore. The end bore at the outboard end contains
a seal which establishes a dynamic fluid barrier with the outboard cone. The end bore at the
inboard end contains a flexible retainer that creates a closure between the cup and the inboard
cone. The end bore at the outboard end also receives an end cap which extends across the end
of the inboard cup and the end of the spindle to close the entire inboard end of the bearing.
The seal and retainer unitize the bearing for shipping and handling. The retainer further keeps
grease from migrating into the end cap during the operation of the bearing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une excavatrice portable possédant un tube et destiné à pointer un flux de gaz supersonique sur un objet enfoui. L'excavatrice comprend un élément amovible disposé à l'intérieur du tuyau pour pulser un gaz passant dans le tuyau, et une tuyère à gaz supersonique à la sortie du tuyau. Un gaz comprimé introduit dans le tuyau sort de la tuyère de manière pulsée à deux ou trois Hz. L'élément amovible comprend un piston qui empêche un gaz de s'écouler dans le tuyau grâce à la force de contrainte d'un ressort. Lorsque la force produite par la pression différentielle à travers le piston dépasse la force de contrainte, le piston se déplace et permet au gaz de s'écouler dans le tuyau jusqu'à ce que la force produite par la pression différentielle à travers le piston soit inférieure à la force de contrainte.
