Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for increasing the dimensions of crystals of quartz and of materials isomorphous with quartz, capable of being produced by hydrothermal growth on seed, in which a seed obtained by assembling a plurality of crystal laminae is employed, characterised in that at least two laminae of strictly identical lengths and/or widths and of closely related thicknesses are assembled, which are cut from at least one crystal and exhibit on at least three faces crystal orientations in which the differences between the laminae remain smaller than approximately 10" of arc and in that the said laminae are brought close together on a support by guiding components, thus ensuring their alignment on the abovementioned three faces while maintaining crystal orientation differences smaller than approximately 10" of arc, one face per lamina being left free with a view to the growth of the assembled seeds resulting in the formation of a single crystal exhibiting at least one dimension greater than that corresponding to the initial crystal laminae. The invention also relates to the crystals obtained by this process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A magazine particularly adapted to be used in an electromechanical assembly for collecting and managing coins, for example a public pay phone, includes a rotating drum (4) having coin pockets (4a) radially disposed at predetermined angular intervals, and a coin feed duct (9) the outlet (9a) of which communicates in succession with any pocket (4a) as the drum rotates. The axis of the rotating drum is horizontal so that the loading of a coin into a pocket (4a) causes the latter to rotate about its axis due to a couple applied by gravity. There is further provided means including an electromagnet (13), a ratchet gear (16, 6c, 18, 6a), and a spring (20) for stepwise adjusting the rotation of the drum according to progressive angular shifts corresponding to the angular intervals between pockets (4a). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing a liquid crystal alignment film which comprises the step of preparing a thin film by developing an amphipathic polymer having repeating units represented by general formula (1) on the surface of water to form a monomolecular film and superposing the film on a substrate provided with an electrode and the step of partially bonding the thin film to a polyimide represented by general formula (2), (wherein R?1 and R2¿ are the same as those of the formula (1)) through polyimide linkages in such a manner that there remains 1.5 to 0.8 monovalent group bearing 12 to 30 carbon atoms of the thin film per repeating unit represented by the formula (1). This process enables the control of liquid crystal pretilt and provides a liquid crystal alignment film having a uniform nondefective alignment.

Abstract: The sound wave of an ultrasonic trasducer is coupled through a tuned intermediate tubular component (7) into a measuring tube in which it is reflected at the plane reflection surface of a reflector. The intermediate tubular component (7) consists of an inlet cone (20), a cylindrical part (21) and an outlet cone (22). The reflector is slaved to the level in the tank. The reflected sound wave is processed in the same ultrasonic transducer in order to determine the distance. This ensures a high degree of precision and resolution over a large distance range, reduced power requirements for the driver module, and simpler circuit design since complex processing of echo signals is unnecessary, resulting in production cost benefits.

Abstract: A method is presented for interconnecting bond pads of a flip chip with bond pads of a substrate by an electrically conductive polymer. An organic protective layer is selectively formed over a surface of a flip chip to thereby leave exposed bond pads on the flip chip. An electrically conductive polymerizable precursor is disposed on the bond pads extending to a level beyond the organic protective layer to thereby form bumps. The bumps are aligned with bond pads of a substrate and then contacted to those bond pads. The bumps can be polymerized either before or after contacting the bumps to the bond pads of the substrate to form electrically conductive interconnections between the bond pads of the flip chip and the bond pads of the substrate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A papermaker's fabric (10) having a smooth surface and a prolonged life includes flat machine-direction (MD) yarns (26, 28) which define the upper and lower surfaces (12, 14) thereof. The fabric has two layers (16, 20) of cross-machine direction (CD) yarns (18, 18', 22, 22'), each of which is interwoven with the flat MD yarns (26, 28). Other MD yarns (24), of round cross section, weave with the CD yarns (18, 18', 22, 22') in the two layers (16, 20) to bind the two layers together. The knuckles of these round MD yarns (24) are within the fabric (10) with respect to the planes defined by the flat MD yarns (26, 28), and, as a consequence, are less susceptible to degradation by heat and abrasion. The round MD yarns (24) may form loops (30) to seam the fabric. A longer fabric life follows from the protection of the round MD yarns (24) by the flat yarns (26, 28). The papermaker's fabric (10) is particularly useful as a dryer fabric on the dryer section of a papermachine.
