Patent EP-0390378-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MEESS DANIEL CLINTON
IPC: G21F9/34
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: A side loading system (1) and method for the underground disposal of radioactive waste. The vault system (1) is formed from at least one vault cell (5) that comprises a floor slab (18) disposed within a recess in the earth, a ceiling slab (40) disposed over the floor slab (18), an earth cap (11) disposed over the ceiling slab (40) and an elongated wall assembly (22) disposed around the periphery of the floor slab (18) for supporting the ceiling slab (40) and earth cap (11). The elongated wall assembly (22) is preferably four times as long as it is wide, and includes a back wall (24) and a front wall (26), the front wall (26) having an accessway (30) for the side loading of radioactive waste. Radioactive waste is loaded in sequential rows starting from the back wall (24) of the vault cell (5). Such a loading technique, in combination with the elongated shape of the wall assembly (22), minimizes radiation exposure to the personnel loading the vault cell (5) as the front-most row of waste helps to shield the operators from radioactivity emitted by the balance of the waste contained within the vault cell (5). Additionally, because the ceiling slab (40) does not depend upon the waste for support, each vault cell (5) can be completely constructed and then inspected for structural faults before radioactive waste is loaded therein. Finally, the side-loading configuration of the vault cells (5) advantageously shelters radioactive waste from ambient weather during the loading operation.

The plastic sheet may then be removed from the carrier and placed upon an article to be labeled. The array is also provided with feed holes (18) to accommodate use in a printer or the like. The array is manufactured by passing a pressure sensitive adhesive laminate through a pair of die-cutters (38), one of which cuts a clear plastic face stock and another of which cuts the carrier, the two cuts being in registration with each other. A matrix of the clear plastic material is subsequently removed.

Abstract: In an optical amplifying apparatus of this invention, there are provided an optical amplifier part (2) for giving a gain to an input light (4) from outside and a selective loss part (1) for giving a light loss of a prescribed ratio for different polarization modes in order to compensate for a polarization dependency of the amplification on factor between the input (4) and output (5) lights. Thus, the difference of amplification factors for the different polarization modes is compensated for, as a whole of the apparatus. This polarization non-dependent type optical amplifying apparatus has solved the polarization dependency without degrading other characteristics, so that this can be preferably used in a optical communication system or network. Further, this amplifying apparatus does not require so many external optical components, so this is suitable to the fabrication of a module and is preferably contained in an integrated optical node.

Abstract: A discrete integrated repeater device and port MAU/AUI functions shares resources among its several ports. The device includes a single multi-bit free running counter providing preselected timing intervals to a plurality of latches. A signal undergoing measurement clears the latch while a preselected timing signal sets the latch. Receipt of a timing signal at a set latch indicates success or failure of some particular condition under test. The device satisfies an IEEE 802.3 specification for execution of a link integrity test. The device is also able to selectively disable or enable the link integrity test function for particular ports. A plurality of latches, one associated with each port, is set upon carrier sense detection at the particular port. A token passing mechanism implemented with a daisy chained line coupled to each latch enables a polling of each latch to provide carrier sense information about each port in a serial format. The device shares a single PLL among all its ports by producing a logical sum of carrier sense inputs to enable activation of the PLL. A collision indication signal will override operation of the PLL to ensure data integrity and to allow the PLL to reacquire lock on its reference clock.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device (600) receives an external control signal (K) repeatedly generated independently of an access to the memory device. The memory device includes an internal voltage generator (800; 900; 891;898) for generating a desired internal voltage in response to the control signal. The internal voltage generator includes a charge pump circuit (811; 830; 831; 920) responsive to the control signal. The internal voltage may provide a negative voltage such as a substrate bias voltage, or may be a positive voltage boosted over an operating power supply voltage and used as a boosted word line drive signal. This scheme eliminates an oscillator for generating a repeated clock signal to the charge pump circuit, leading to reduced current consumption and reduced chip area for the semiconductor memory device.

Abstract: An error current component which becomes zero when an actual value of a primary flux coincides with a set value inducted by a product of a exciting current command and a primary self-inductance by detecting a primary current of an inductance motor(1), is inducted by an error current component processing circuit(6). A primary resistance compensation circuit(9) processes a compensation amount of a primary resistance compensation amount. And a compensation voltage processing circuit(7) processes a compensation voltage which directs the error current component to zero. A rotating speed of the induction motor(1) can be controlled in a stable state even though a value of primary resistance of the induction motor(1) is varied by temperature. Further, torque inadequate and excess current can be avoided.

Title: Method for strip casting Cu-alloys
Inventor: DUERRSCHNABEL WOLFGANG DR
IPC: B22D11/06
Filed: 1992-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a casting method for the production of a strip-shaped strand consisting of a molten precipitate-forming and/or stress-sensitive and/or segregation-prone copper alloy. According to the invention, the method is characterised by the fact that a strand up to a thickness D & 8 mm is cast while maintaining a solidification rate @ = 0.2 to 8 mm/s. This ensures, as regards precipitate-forming copper alloys, that the formation of the precipitates is completely suppressed or occurs only in the form of very fine dispersions without further aftertreatment, as regards the stress-sensitive copper alloys, that the build-up of internal stresses is largely avoided and that, as regards segregation-sensitive alloys, the occurrence of segregations is diminished to such an extent that the alloys can be cold-formed directly. A broad spectrum of copper alloys can be treated by the casting method according to the invention.
