Title: Friction welding of a single crystal component to a second component with minimisation of in plane friction and forge forces
Inventor: BRAY SIMON EDWARD
IPC: B23K20/12
Filed: 2007-05-15
Abstract: A blade member (10) is oscillated in the direction of arrow A-A relative to a rim (12) of a disc (14). A forge force is applied radially and a weld is formed along line (16). The blade member (10) is formed from a face centred cubic (FCC) nickel based single crystal alloy, such as CMSX-4 of Cannon-Muskegon Corporation. The orientation of the single crystal blade member (10) is controlled to maximise the stress on the (111) slip plane. By maximising the stress on the (111) slip plane the in-plane friction forces and the forge force are minimised. Minimising the in-plane forces enables the single crystal blade member (10) to be successfully welded to the rim (12) of the disc (14).

Patent CA-2657988-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YANNI MAMDOUH
IPC: G01S19/23
Filed: 2009-03-11
Abstract: A system and method of providing a clock signal to a navigation satellite receiver (266) in a device (100) is disclosed. A clock signal generated by a voltage controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator (VCTCXO) (400) in a cellular engine (221) of the same device (100) is appropriated to clock a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) (490) programmed to generate an adjusted clock signal (491) suitable for use in receiving signals from navigation satellites and to heterodyne them down to baseband or an intermediate frequency for processing. Preferably, if the cellular engine (221) has an automatic frequency control (AFC) module (466) for adjusting the voltage control (464) input to the VCTCXO (400) to compensate for a change in the operating environment of the cellular engine (221), the AFC module (466) modifies the control word (501) in the NCO (490) to counteract such adjustment so that the adjusted clock signal (491) provided to the navigation satellite receiver is not unduly impacted. The use of the NCO (490) ensures that the adjusted clock signal (491) remains phase continuous throughout any such adjustments, so that positional lock of the navigation satellite receiver (266) should not be lost. The sharing of the VCTCXO (400) by the cellular engine (221) and the navigation satellite receiver (266) results in component cost and board space savings, economy in power consumption and reduced engineering effort in routing clock signals throughout the circuit board.

Patent CA-2660075-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for preparation of granular polysilicon
Inventor: YOON KYUNG KOO
IPC: C30B25/00
Filed: 2007-08-09
Abstract: A process for preparing granular polysilicon using a fluidized bed reactor is disclosed. The upper and lower spaces of the bed are defined as a reaction zone and a heating zone, respectively, with the height of the reaction gas outlet being selected as the reference height. The invention maximizes the reactor productivity by sufficiently providing the heat required and stably maintaining the reaction temperature in the reaction zone, without impairing the mechanical stability of the fluidized bed reactor. This is achieved through electrical resistance heating in the heating zone where an internal heater is installed in a space in between the reaction gas supplying means and the inner wall of the reactor tube, thereby heating the fluidizing gas and the silicon particles in the heating zone. The heat generated in the heating zone is transferred to the reaction zone by supplying the fluidizing gas at such a rate that the silicon particles can be intermixed between the reaction zone and the heating zone in a continuous, fluidized state.
