Abstract: The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval (25) is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material, lying in pairs on each other, and running through the stack from a top position diagonally to a bottom position. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions, whereby the bents of respectively two adjacent partial conductor rods associated in a pair, are displaced in longitudinal direction in a predetermined distance to bents of a following or preceding pair of partial conductor rods. The partial conductor rods are arranged in sideways adjacent stacks (26), whereby the partial conductor rods are staggered respectively with the sideways adjacent partial conductor rods, which assures, that each partial conductor proceeds segmental and alternately along a side facing a rotor and a side averted from the rotor. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. An Independent claim is provided for a conductor rod manufactured after this method.

Abstract: The device (30) comprises an elongated body having two end walls (32,33) forming an internal chamber (34)
therebetween. One end wall (32) of the device has a first metering orifice (41). The other end wall (33) has
one or more bypass openings (44). Disposed within the chamber is a free piston (50) having a rod
portion (53) extending therefrom and disposed within the first metering orifice (41). The free piston (50)
and rod portion (53) has a second metering orifice (42) axially extending therethrough and in axial
alignment with the first metering orifice (41). Fluid flow through the device (30) urges piston (50) against
the end wall (32,33) in the direction of fluid flow. In one position, fluid flowing into the device (30)
passes through the bypassing opening(s) (44) of the opposite end wall. Fluid flowing out of
the device (30) passes through the second metering orifice (42) in the piston (50). Upon a flow reversal, the
piston (50) is urged against the opposite end wall (33). In this position, fluid flows through the
metering orifice (41) in the end wall (32) then flows in serial fashion through the metering orifice (42) in the
piston (50). The device (30) is adapted for use in a reversible vapor compression air conditioning
system. In this application, the metering orifice (41) in the end wall (32) is sized to provide proper
metering for heating mode operation. The metering orifice (42) in the piston (50), in combination with
the metering orifice (41) in the end wall (32), is sized to provide proper metering for cooling mode

Abstract: A semiconductor device with a tunnel diode (23) is particularly suitable for various applications. Such a device comprises two mutally adjoining semiconductor regions (2, 3) of opposed conductivity types and having doping concentrations which are so high that breakdown between them leads to conduction by means of tunnelling. A disadvantage of the known device is that the current-voltage characteristic is not yet steep enough for some applications. In a device according to the invention, the portions (2A, 3A) of the semiconductor regions (2, 3) adjoining the junction (23) comprise a mixed crystal of silicon and germanium. It is surprisingly found that the doping concentration of both phosphorus and boron are substantially increased, given the same amount of dopants being offered as during the formation of the remainder of the regions (2, 3). The tunnelling efficiency is substantially improved as a result of this, and also because of the reduced bandgap of said portions (2A, 3A), and the device according to the invention has a much steeper current-voltage characteristic both in the forward and in the reverse direction. This opens perspectives for inter alia an attractive application where the tunnelling pn junction (23) is used as a transition between two conventional diodes, for example pn or pin diodes, which are used one stacked on the other and which can be formed in a single epitaxial growing process thanks to the invention. The portions (2A, 3A) adjoining the tunnelling junction (22) are preferably 5 to 30 mm thick and comprise between 10 and 50 at% germanium. The doping concentration may be 6 x 1019 or even more than 10?20 at/cm3¿. The invention futher relates to a simple method of manufacturing a device according to the invention. This is preferably done at a temperature of between 550 °C and 800 °C.

Abstract: The invention is a process which provides a high purity lithiated manganese oxide (Li<sub>1+x</sub>Mn<sub>2-y</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) from chemically made MnO<sub>2</sub>. The lithiated manganese oxide has an especially effective utility for use as a cathodic material in rechargeable batteries. The process of the invention includes blending a lithium compound with a chemically made manganese dioxide to form a manganese dioxide/lithium compound blend. The lithium compound in the blend is at least about one mole of lithium for every mole of manganese dioxide. The manganese dioxide and lithium compound in the blend undergo an ion exchange reaction to provide an ion replaced product where lithium ions have replaced sodium and potassium ions in the MnO<sub>2</sub> to form an ion replaced product. Thereafter, the ion replaced product is heated or calcined to provide the lithiated manganese oxide.
