Patent EP-0851042-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KIMURA NOBORU
IPC: C23C14/24
Filed: 1997-12-26
Abstract: Disclosed is a crucible of pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN) for
molecular beam epitaxy for melting of the source material, with
which the troubles due to adhering of the molten source material
in the form of drops caused on the quality of the epitaxial layer can
be greatly decreased. Namely, the inner surface of the crucible is
free from pits or other irregularities responsible to the adhering of
the melt when the growth plane, which can be exposed by stripping
of the surface layer of 0.50 mm thickness by cleavage, has a
surface roughness Ra not exceeding 2.0 µm and Rmax not exceeding
18 µm. Such a PBN crucible can be prepared by the CVD method
to deposit PBN on the surface of a graphite core of which the
surface roughness Ra does not exceed 2 µm.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une lampe à réflecteur intégrée comprenant une enveloppe fermée hermétiquement entourant une enceinte à décharge de gaz haute pression. Une coque présente un bord qui reçoit l'enveloppe fermée hermétiquement et, à l'opposé, un fond portant un culot fileté. Un ballast servant à allumer et à faire fonctionner le dispositif à décharge est enfermé dans la coquille entre le culot fileté et l'enveloppe fermée hermétiquement. Ladite enveloppe fermée hermétiquement comprend une surface réfléchissante qui dirige la lumière émise par l'enceinte à décharge. La surface réfléchissante assure également une fonction efficace de régularisation de la température pour empêcher une surchauffe du ballast due à la chaleur générée par le dispositif à décharge. La lampe intégrée selon l'invention présente des propriétés photométriques et une efficacité lumineuse qui dépasse celles de lampes correspondantes à réflecteur à halogène et à halogène à infrarouge, tout en ayant une forme en plan générale qui correspond à celle d'une lampe correspondante.

Abstract: The various components, namely the different vessels contained
within each other for housing the superconducting magnet, or the liquid
comprising a cryostat or storage tank for cryogenic liquids are generally
either suspended or supported by each other. Thus, a support/suspension
system has various tasks, besides carrying the magnet or shield loads, it
also keeps the position of the cold mass during shipping and also fixes the
internal clearances between the radiation shields during installation as well
as repeated cooldown. The various constraints put onto these suspension
systems result in an increased input of heat into the cryostat depending on
the overall size of cryostat and superconducting magnet system. 
     Various parts of the cryogenic components such as radiation shields
have to be cooled, either by means of using liquids or by using forced
convection cooling, or by other external means such as conventional GM-cryocoolers. 
     The present invention therefore provides a new type of support or
suspension system which combines the two functions mentioned above,
namely supporting or suspending and cooling, and applies these to the
pulse tube cooler. The pulse tubes (22-38) could be arranged in series or
in parallel, could be single or multi-staged or feature an additional
liquefying stage and suspend or support a superconducting magnet or HTS
conductor within a cryostat. The pulse tube being either a suspension or
support member could also simultaneously cool the shields 26 connected
to it and at the same time carry shield or magnet loads.

Abstract: A digital data recording and reproducing apparatus includes a
first recording medium (6) having a first recording capacity, and a
second recording medium (7) having a second recording capacity
greater than the first recording capacity. An input digital video
signal is recorded on the first recording medium (6) as an inward-flow
signal. The inward-flow signal is transferred from the first
recording medium (6) to the second recording medium (7) each time an
amount of the inward-flow signal on the first recording medium (6)
reaches a first predetermined amount. The digital video signal is
transferred from the second recording medium (7) to the first
recording medium (6) as an outward-flow signal. The outward-flow
signal is read out from the first recording medium (6) as an output
digital video signal. During a search, the outward-flow signal is read
out from the first recording medium (6). During the search,
monitoring is made regarding an amount of the outward-flow signal
on the first recording medium (6) which has not yet been read out.
During the search, the digital video signal is transferred from the
second recording medium (7) to the first recording medium (6) when the
monitored amount decreases to a second predetermined amount.

Abstract: A fluid spring, such as for controlling the angular movement of
a vehicle door, comprises a piston (42) slidable within a
cylinder (20) having a fixture (24) connected to the door frame.
A piston rod (40) has a fixture (56) connected to the door. The
piston (42) divides the interior of the cylinder (20) into first
and second chambers (48,50) filled with hydraulic fluid. A fluid
passageway (117) in the piston (42) leads from one of the
chambers (48,50) into a cavity (104) but is normally blocked by
a seal (120) carried by a vane (116) which, like a second vane
(114), is rigid with a boss (112) angularly biassed around a
central axis by a spring (118). When sufficient force is applied
to the door, the fluid pressure acting on the seal (120) moves
the vane (116) against the spring bias and allows fluid flow
between the two chambers (48,50) and consequent angular movement
of the door. The required force to keep the door moving now
substantially reduces because the fluid pressure acts on the
whole of the side of the vane (116). Movement of the second vane
(114) progressively unseals a second fluid passage through the
piston between the two chambers (48,50).

Abstract: An ink jet printer has a maintenance station (20)
in which a movable sled (22) starts from a known
position due to a diagonally disposed return spring
(65). A cam profile (39I) near the uppermost portion of
vertical movement of the movable sled is produced in
accordance with a quadratic equation. This quadratic
equation designed profile reduces the force required to
move the movable sled up the cam profile to its
uppermost position. The return spring, which holds the
movable sled in the known position by urging a front
wall (30) of the movable sled against a front wall (24)
of a support housing (21), also absorbs energy to
decrease the noise level of the printer.

Abstract: In welding optical fiber ribbons (2) by means of an electric arc formed between electrodes
(7) the region heated by the electric arc is mapped on CCD-elements in a camera (17). In
the obtained picture the light intensity of those portions of the picture is determined which
correspond to the heated fiber portions. This light intensity is used for setting the electric
current flowing between the electrodes (7), so that a desired welding temperature is
obtained and so that also a desired, lower temperature is obtained in the fiber ends in a
preparatory softening stage, which has a long durability and which is performed before
the very welding stage. This determination of temperatures by means of measured light intensities
gives reliable values also in the case where ambient conditions like the air
pressure are changed, the state of the electrodes is changed owing to contamination, etc.
During the preparatory stage the ends of the individual fibers are deformed, so that they
can come in contact with each other, even if the end surfaces of the individual fibers in a
fiber ribbon are not located in a plane, which extends in an angle that is exactly
perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fiber ribbon, and so that mechanical
stresses obtained when pressing the fiber ends against each other are relieved.
