Title: Protective layers for sputter coated article
Inventor: O'SHAUGHNESSY DENNIS J
IPC: C23C14/08
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: Tin is added to a zinc cathode target to enhance the sputter efficiency of the target. Films deposited using the cathode, e.g., greater than zero but less than 10 weight percent tin and greater than 90 but less than 100 weight percent zinc improve the chemical durability of a high transmittance, low emissivity coating stack over coating stacks having zinc oxides without tin oxide.  High transmittance, low emissivity coating stacks are heated with the heated coating having reduced haze by selecting the thickness of metal primer layer between an infrared reflective film, e.g. a silver film and a dielectric film, e.g., a 52-48 zinc stannate, zinc oxide, tin oxide film or a zinc oxide film. Also disclosed are enhancing films that lower the resistivity of silver films deposited thereon and improve chemical durability of the coating stack.

IPC: H02N2/04
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: A high force linear displacement piezolectric motor operates with equal force and reliability in both the push and pull mode. The new motor includes a split motor shaft (12) having with two shaft segments (15a, 15b) that are coaxially affixed to opposite sides of an expandable and contractable displacement actuator (16).  The displacement actuator has a piezoelectric body (17) coincident with the axis of the shaft segments such that the expansion of the piezoelectric body increases the length of the split motor shaft. The motor has a set of clamps (13a, 13b) that receive and close on the shaft segments to hold them in place, or open to allow axial displacement of the shaft segments. Linear motion of the split shaft motor is produced by coordinating the opening and closing the clamps with the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric body.

Patent CA-2391777-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KURAN PETER
IPC: G03C11/06
Filed: 2002-06-27
Abstract: A process for restoring the color of faded color negative film, particular for faded color motion pictures. The original faded negative film is used to produce a green enhancement mask and a blue enhancement mask (or a combination green/blue enhancement mask). Standard red, green, and blue separations are also made from the original faded negative. By combining the green and blue enhancement masks with the standard green and blue separations, respectively, (or the combination green/blue enhancement mask with the green separations and blue separations), enhanced green and blue separations are created.      The enhanced green separation, the enhanced blue separation, and the red separation are recombined to form the restored color negative or interpositive. Alternately, from the original negative, an enhanced blue mask can be created, and intermediate film stock printed with yellow light passed through the original negative to produce unprocessed intermediate stock can be created. The blue mask, and optionally the original negative, and the unprocessed intermediate stock can be packed and exposed with blue light to create improved intermediate stock, which can then be developed. The intermediate film stock can be negative film or interpositive film.

Title: Method for programming and triggering electronic detonators
Inventor: ZEMLA ANDREAS
IPC: F42D1/055
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: Explosions are carried out in the mining of raw materials, whereby explosive charges are placed in numerous boreholes and are detonated in succession, according to a specific time frame.  The electronic detonators (4a - 4c) of the explo-sive charges form an ignition system. Said elec-tronic detonators are jointly connected to a pro-gramming and triggering device using a bus line (3). However, this leads to communication prob-lems between a detonator and the programming and triggering device (2) in that the remaining detona-tors which are connected to the bus line present capacitive resistances which affect the transmis-sion of the data. According to the invention, a direct current of a predetermined duration, which is greater than the current provided for generating signals, is applied to the ignition circuit (1) before an intended communication of a detonator with the device. The signals used to generate the data which is transmitted by the detonator as a response are subsequently generated with a lower current than the previously increased direct current and the direct current is increased again prior to the response of another detonator.
