Abstract: A superconductor material having a current density, J, of from about 30,000 to about 85,000 amps/cm2 at zero magnetic field and 77 DEG  K. is disclosed. The 123 superconductor is of the formula L1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta  wherein L is preferably yttrium. The process comprises compacting the solid state reaction product of L1Ba2Cu3O and then sintering the reaction product at a temperature between about 40 DEG C. to about 90 DEG  C. below its melting point, i.e., for Y1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta  at a temperature of approximately 940 DEG  C. The composition is then heated in a preheated chamber maintained at approximately 1090 DEG  C. to about 1,200 DEG  C. (approximately 1,100 DEG  C. for Y1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta ) until it has been decomposed, and is then rapidly cooled to a temperature between about 10 DEG  C. to about 30 DEG  C. above its melting point, i.e. for Y1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta  a temperature of 1030 DEG  C. and then is control cooled at a rate of 1 DEG  C./hr until it reaches a temperature of about 20 DEG  C. to about 40 DEG C. below its melting point, i.e., for Y1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta  a temperature of 980 DEG  C. The composition is steadily held at this temperature for at least eight hours, and then cooled to a temperature of approximately 400 DEG  C. below its melting point (for Y1Ba2Cu3O6+ delta  approximately a temperature of 600 DEG  C.). The material is then slowly cooled by another 200 DEG  C. and is then annealed in oxygen.

Abstract: In a servo tracking method and apparatus, a servo head (S) of a helical scan recorder (30) endeavors to travel equidistant between two servo signal-bearing stripes recorded on the tape (32). The recorder (30) determines a reference-crossing time at which the servo head (S) begins to cross a horizontal reference line (606) drawn with respect to the beginning of a stripe on the tape (32). The servo head (S) samples the amplitude of a servo signal provided on the tape (32) at a plurality of predetermined times after the reference-crossing time. A servo tracking circuit (175) uses the amplitude of the servo signal at the predetermined sampling times to determine how to adjust the position of said head (S) relative to the pitch of said stripe.

Abstract: Accéléromètre comprenant un microcapteur d'accélération et un circuit monolithique de mise en forme des signaux. Le capteur comprend un dispositif à condensateurs différentiels constitués d'une paire de condensateurs. Chaque condensateur possède deux électrodes dont l'une est électriquement commune aux deux condensateurs. Une des électrodes (par exemple l'électrode commune) peut se déplacer en fonction de l'accélération appliquée et l'autre électrode est fixe. Les électrodes sont toutes formées par des membres en polysilicone suspendus au-dessus d'un substrat en silicone. Chaque condensateur est constitué d'une pluralité de paires de segments d'électrode connectés électriquement en parallèle et, en ce qui concerne les électrodes mobiles, reliés mécaniquement de façon qu'ils se déplacent simultanément. Lorsque le substrat subit une accélération, les électrodes mobiles se déplacent de façon que la capacité électrique de l'un des condensateurs augmente tandis que celle de l'autre condensateur diminue. Les deux condensateurs sont connectés au circuit de mise en forme des signaux qui convertit cette différence de capacité électrique en une tension correspondante. Le fonctionnement en boucle ouverte et en équilibrage de force sont montrés tous les deux.
