Abstract: A method of producing decorative ceramic ware is disclosed. In the first step, a flocculant is added to an aqueous suspension containing as main solid components a fibrous material and a ceramic raw material clay, followed by preparing ceramic raw material clay, followed by preparing ceramic raw material sheets from the suspension by the ordinary paper-making method. Prepared are at least two kinds of ceramic raw material sheets differing from each other in color after firing. Then, the stacking-cutting operation of the sheets is performed at least once, in which the different kinds of sheets are alternately stacked, followed by cutting the stacked mass in a direction not parallel with the surface of the raw material sheet. The cut piece is formed into the desired shape and, then, dried and fired to produce a striped or checkered decorative ceramic ware. This particular method permits industrial production of ceramic ware.

Abstract: A cartridge for holding mastic or similar material in the barrel (100) of an applicator gun consists of an open ended hollow cylindrical member or sleeve (1) having a bore (10) therethrough which receives a piston (2) slidable in the bore in either direction. With the piston (2) at one end of the bore (10) a body of mastic material (M) is inserted in the bore at the other end for expulsion by the piston (2) therefrom when the mastic material (M) is heat softened in the gun. The arrangement is such that after full expulsion of the mastic material (M) the sleeve (1) can then be either used in a reverse position in the gun barrel (100) with a further body of mastic material (M) inserted in the sleeve (1) for expulsion by repeat operation of the piston (2), or the piston (2) can be returned along the bore (10) for similar operation. The piston (2) is preferably retained against movement out of the a sleeve (1) such as by retaining rings (13) at each end of the latter.

Abstract: In a process for producing layers (8) of refractory metals or metal compounds by deposition from the vapour phase, the gaseous starting materials (1) are decomposed in a glow discharge (9) and deposited at a low substrate temperature and reduced pressure. The glow discharge is generated by inductive coupling-in of high-frequency energy (5), the plasma being adjusted such that the substrate (7) to be coated is located in the region of the light generated by the glow discharge (9) at the cathode. The process is used for the production of, for example, multi-layer wirings in integrated semiconductor circuits, of thin-layer components and for the metallisation of plastic components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two-way radio communications system includes a battery-operated portable unit (12) and a base unit (11) having a receptacle (17) for receiving the portable unit when the portable unit is not in use. A security circuit (51, 52) in each unit allows communication with other units only upon the reception of an address code corresponding to an address code stored in the unit. When the portable unit is seated in the base unit receptacle, the batteries (38) of the portable unit are recharged by current supplied by the base unit. At the same time, the address code of the base unit is entered into the portable unit by encoding circuitry (55, 58, 62, 54) which modulates the battery charging current in accordance with the address code. Circuitry (44) within the portable unit demodulates the charging current to recover the address code for storage in the security circuit of the portable unit. The invention can also be used in systems where data other than address codes must be sent to a unit being charged.

Abstract: A continuous wave laser light beam is directed at the refractory lining within a furnace vessel, and the displacement as measured by a self-scanned linear array of the scattered light beam from a nominal or reference position measured to provide an indication of lining wear or damage. The video signal received by the linear array receiver provides information for mapping the worn or damaged areas of the vessel lining so that such areas may be repaired by a gunning spray nozzel. The inspection apparatus includes an optical filter which is temperature controlled to prevent wavelength shifts away from the nominal laser wavelength. The electronic processing circuitry includes a voltage controlled oscillator responsive to the average background level for modifying the scan rate of the linear array to compensate for changes in background level. The threshold against which the reflected laser beam video signal is compared is also a function of background level. Consequently, the system is self-compensating for changes in background radiation temperature. The apparatus may be lowered into a hot furnace vessel following each heat without the need to cool the furnace vessel. The inspection apparatus is mechanically scanned vertically and angularly within the vessel to provide a large number of inspection data points.
