Inventor: MAXON JOHN E
IPC: C03B8/04
Filed: 1996-09-11
Abstract: Fused silica boules (19) having improved homogeneity are produced by causing the boule (19) to flow radially during its formation to achieve local mixing between portions of the boule which may have experienced different laydown conditions. The mixing is achieved by one or a combination of: 1) use of a containment vessel (13) having a gently sloping containment wall (22); 2) use of a containment vessel (13) whose inner radius (rv) is substantially larger than the outermost radius (rb) of the burners used to produce the boule (19); and/or 3) maintaining the boule (19) at a sufficiently high temperature during laydown so that radial flow is achieved with a minimum head height of glass. Large blanks having high homogeneity can be made from such boules, e.g., blanks having diameters above 200 millimeters and Δn values of less than 0.25 x 10-6.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the area of computerized
transaction execution with a workflow management systems
(WFMS). The WFMS executes a process model consisting of a
network of potentially distributed activities including
transactional workitems. The invention teaches a computerized
methodology for defining, controlling and processing a
collection of a multitude transactional workitems ensuring the
atomicity of the collection of transactional workitems. Said
collection of transactional workitems owns a separate commit
scope not influenced by a commit scope potentially implemented
within said transactional workitems. 
     The current invention teaches a methodology processed by the
WFMS allowing to infer from details of the process model to
collections of transactional workitems which can be processed
in the sense of global transactions with a common commit
scope. Transactional workitems with a common commit scope are
combined into atomic spheres. 
     A further method is proposed by the current invention to
process the collection of transactional workitems constituting
a common atomic sphere.

provided so that the sensor element is between the inlet
nozzle and the outlet nozzle, throughholes are formed in the
sensor element in at least part of the vicinity of the
vibrating section, and the fluid entering the particle

sensor from the outlet nozzle, which particle sensor has
such a characteristic structure that the speed of a fluid
colliding with the sensor element can be changed. This
particle sensor can measure the sizes and particle size
distribution of particles contained in a fluid, easily in a
short time.

Abstract: En relation avec un procédé d'interprétation thermographique servant à l'évaluation non destructive d'irrégularités structurelles subsurfaciques d'un objet échantillon, ledit objet est soumis à une excitation thermique puis on le laisse se refroidir. Pendant que le niveau d'énergie thermique varie, on prend une série d'images infrarouge à position fixe de l'échantillon. Le procédé calcule pour chaque image de la série un ensemble de totaux de pixels par comptage du nombre de pixels de chaque image affichant chacune les différentes nuances de gris (ou de couleur). Les moments mathématiques de chacune des fonctions dérivées des ensembles de totaux de pixels sont ensuite calculés de manière à obtenir pour chacune des images une seule quantité totale d'énergie dite ensemble de quantités totales d'énergie. Ledit ensemble correspondant à l'objet est ensuite comparé à un ensemble de quantités totales d'énergie de référence correspondant à un objet d'épaisseur infinie parfaitement homogène pour permettre d'identifier les motifs dus au rayonnement IF superficiel anormal, révélateur d'irrégularités structurelles subsurfaciques de l'objet échantillon. Dans une variante, au lieu de calculer le moment mathématique des ensembles de totaux de pixels, on peut comparer individuellement lesdits ensembles eux-mêmes à un ensemble de totaux de pixels correspondant à un objet d'épaisseur infinie parfaitement homogène, ce qui permet également d'identifier les motifs dus au rayonnement IF superficiel anormal.
