Abstract: A method for producing metallic strips having a high-grade cube texture based on nickel, copper, aluminum, silver or alloys of these metals including austenitic iron-nickel alloys makes it possible to obtain, during a subsequent annealing process and with lower total degrees of forming, a recrystallization cube layer of a quality equal to that of one obtained using customary roll forming and produces a better quality cube texture with comparable total degrees of forming. To this end, a forming method is provided during which the materials are formed by cold drawing before their recrystallization annealing thereby rendering them high-grade. The tools used for this include: a) non-driven roll devices with an axially parallel flat pair of rolls or turk's head arrangements with two pairs of rolls or; b) fixed drawing jaws that are slanted toward one another. The strips produced according to the invention can be used, for example, as a coating support for producing strip-shaped high-temperature superconductors.

The inventive device comprises (A) at least one plate (P) which is disposed above one of the granular solid beds.  Moreover, the device comprises (B) numerous mixing channels (21) which are used to produce the polyphase mixture.  Each of said channels comprises at least one upper flow section (22) which is used for the passage of most of the gaseous phase and at least one lower flow section (23) which is used to communicate the mixture formed inside said mixing channels with a bed of granular solids.  The aforementioned channels are provided, along at least part of the height thereof, with one or more lateral sections (26) which enable the passage of the liquid phase inside the mixing channels and, optionally, a minor part of the gaseous phase.  Said device also comprises (C) an assembly of anti-splash nozzle-type distribution systems (28) which can each be associated with each mixing tube or shared by several or all of the mixing tubes.  Each distribution system has a controlled porosity and at least one part of the perimeter thereof is provided with flanges (100) which can also be porous (101).

Abstract: A CVT transmission has two pulleys 16,18 with V section grooves 22, which can vary the radius at which a belt 20 engages the grooves 22, to vary the drive ratio. Sensors 30,32,34 may provide details about engine, wheel or pulley speeds. A clutch 28 is automatically controlled to transmit a torque Mk directed from an engine 10, which is a predetermined amount in excess of the engine torque Mm. If engine torque Mm increases rapidly, clutch 28 will slip whilst the torque Mk transmitted by the clutch 28 catches up with Mm, thereby causing a damping effect of shocks in the drive line. The torque Mk is controlled by applying an appropriate thrust to the clutch plates, and will also depend on, eg, the frictional coefficient. A control system is used to compare values gained by the sensors 30,32,34 with ideal values, and the applied thrust is varied accordingly.

Abstract: Three trace electromechanical circuits and methods of using same are described. A circuit includes first and second electrically conductive elements with a nanotube ribbon (or other electromechanical elements) disposed therebetween. The nanotube ribbon is movable toward at least one of the first and second electrically conductive elements in response to electrical stimulus applied to at least one of the first and second electrically conductive elements and the nanotube ribbon. Such circuits may be formed into arrays of cells. The upper and lower electrically conductive traces may be aligned or unaligned vertically. An electrical stimulus may be applied to at least one of the first and second electrically conductive elements and the nanotube ribbon to move the nanotube ribbon toward at least one of the first and second electrically conductive elements. Electrical signals from at least one the first and second electrically conductive elements and the nanotube ribbon may be sensed to determine the electrical state of the cell. The states may be assigned in a variety of ways. For example, if the ribbon is moved toward the first electrically conductive element, the electrical state is a first state, if the ribbon is moved toward the second electrically conductive element, the electrical state is a second state, and if the ribbon is between the first and second electrically conductive elements, the electrical state is a third state. The first, second, and third states each corresponds to a different information encoding. Or, electrical stimulus may be applied to both the first and second electrically conductive elements so that the first and second electrically conductive elements both cause the movement of the nanotube ribbon. Or, the first and second electrically conductive elements are used in a fault tolerant manner.
