Abstract: A method for coating a metal article with a corrosion-resistant material in preparation for plating with a metallic element and a product produced by such a method. The method provides a corrosion-resistant coating on a metal article such as a metal blank prior to the blank being formed and plated to produce a bumper or bumper accessory for a vehicle. The method includes the general steps of cleaning the metal article, pretreating the metal article with a pretreatment material such as chromic phosphate, ferrous phosphate, or zinc phosphate, sealing the pretreated article, and painting the cleaned, pretreated, and sealed blank. The paint used is preferably a powder paint. After the article is painted, it may subsequently be formed into a desired shape and be thereafter plated using a metallic plating element such as chrome. The coating applied according to the present method is sufficiently enduring such that it is only necessary for the plating to be applied to the exposed or outer surface of the component for the sake of aesthetics.          The unseen side of the component may be left unplated, and reliance may be fully made upon the coating for the resistance of corrosion to the metal article.

Abstract: A system for measuring changes in an environmental parameter, such as velocity or pressure, includes an optical signal source for providing a pulsed, coherent light signal, and an interferometer having a first and second optical legs of unequal optical path lengths. The signal is split into first and second beams that are respectively directed into the first and second optical legs of the interferometer. A fixed mirror reflects the first beam received at the end of the first optical leg. An optical pick-off includes a movable mirror, positioned to reflect the second beam received from the end of the second optical leg. The movable mirror is movable in response to changes in the value of the parameter to be measured. An optical coupler combines the first and second beams after they have been reflected back into their respective optical legs, producing an interference signal, which is detected by an optical detector. The detector generates an electronic signal having a value indicative of the value of the interference signal. The electronic signal is analyzed to correlate its value to changes in the value of the environmental parameter to be measured.
