Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet d'éviter une contrainte interne excessive ainsi que des problèmes de microstructure inhérents aux techniques antérieures de soudage par fusion utilisées pour la fabrication de structures à composants. Elle concerne un procédé consistant à créer une couche d'alliage de brasage in situ relativement fine sur des premier et second bords de composants mis ensemble en vue de la formation d'un joint. Cette couche d'alliage de brasage in situ (6, 23, 26) est créée par dépôt d'éléments de brasage, tels que du cuivre ou du nickel, à partir d'une électrode de coupage par décharge électrique utilisée pour couper les bords des composants. Une technique de brasage subséquente permet ensuite de créer un joint robuste par migration interstitielle entre la couche d'alliage de brasage et le substrat de matériau sous-jacent des composants. Par ailleurs, la couche d'alliage de brasage in situ ne pénètre la surface du bord coupé des composants respectifs qu'à une profondeur limitée de sorte que l'effet géométrique soit limité de la même façon, les propriétés de la structure du matériau de composant sous-jacent étant ainsi conservées.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for a combined use of a local RTK system and a regional, wide-area, or global differential carrier-phase positioning system (WADGPS) in which disadvantages associated with the RTK and the WADGPS navigation techniques when used separately are avoided. The method includes using a known position of a user receiver that has been stationary or using an RTK system to initialize the floating ambiguity values in the WADGPS system when the user receiver is moving. Thereafter, the refraction-corrected carrier-phase measurements obtained at the user GPS receiver are adjusted by including the corresponding initial floating ambiguity values and the floating ambiguity values are treated as well known (small variance) in subsequent processes to position the user receiver in the WADGPS system.
